"The Chosen One" Page 1 [COMPLETE]

Bruh.

I think my new blended sketch, lines, and colors technique has turned out to be an enormous success. 

I will complete page 1 tomorrow and use it as the standard for the rest of the comic. "Movement 3" still needs to be sketched, and key panels of Vivian and Ellie's prolonged encounter still being reworked. I think this all can be done in less than 3 weeks. More corgi on the way too! 

TCO: Color Sketch Draft #2

This is almost where I want it but I may ditch the line brush I used. Can Y'all tell the sketch is still there? neat huh. 

TCO: Color sketch/test Page 1: P 1

I'm afraid to tell y'all how long the comic has gotten, haha. 

Anyway, like I mentioned last week, I'm trying out a pile of new techniques for handling the line and color stages and this is the first sketch. This panel took about 10 minutes, so a final version will be greatly more detailed and cleaner. My idea is to combine the line art and color stages while also retaining the original sketches beneath, basically the opposite of how Thrill Seeker went, which had a classic tight, a...

Happy August, Folks.

Thank y'all so much for sticking around! This was a rough day for the Patreon, but I've got a lot of faith in "The Chosen One." Plugging along, <3

Brief Intermission

Hello new patrons! You've joined at the perfect time, things are about to get wild here. Thank you so, so much.

Before I begin toiling with the build up pages and conclusion of "The Chosen One," which I'm still having to retool, I shall address just a few inquiries I've seen floating around. Shit is strange, bear with me.

1. Vivian has absolutely no clue what Ellie is, despite everyone around her having suspicions that Ellie harbors a deeply troubling secret, and is much, much...

Onward.

"The Chosen One" Promo #1-Corgi

I remember when Thrill Seeker was the hardest comic I had ever drawn.

It's just getting better and better.

I've been underselling just how batshit this comic is going to be.

"The Chosen One" Teaser Sketch #4

It is time to panic. 

I've begun drafting the most difficult page of my entire career thus far.

This comic is nauseating.

Thank you for your patience.

Ellie has a very curious shape.

You ever meet someone who almost seems physically designed for the very specific profession they've dedicated their lives to, be it creative, athletic, or an essential trade of some kind, like they grew into that thing that they do after decades of honing their chosen skill or craft. 

-Yah, that's Garett, he's an Olympic shot putter. 

Oh, yah, that makes sense. 

Over there is Hans, he's a professional rodeo clown and coral preservationist. 

I totall...

"The Chosen One" Thoughts

So, the script has grown from 8 pages to 12 pages, I really had no other way of including each key scene with a natural build up. I'm finding the comic has become a combination of the planned events of "Peaches & Cream: Part 3" (a standalone unconventional romance) and "The Hunt" (the penultimate demonstration of Ellie's viciousness), which works out nicely as each of those are lengthy as well and I wasn't sure when I could actualize the former. I'm recycling the dog walker's design from ...

"The Chosen One" Completed Sketch Page 5

Fuck. 

I hope you guys are prepared to weep.

Halfway through the sketches. The next two scenes are gonna take a ton of work in subtlety. Also, I know I said I'd wait to post the next batch but I lied, like always. 

Updates soon. 

"The Chosen One" Teaser Sketch #3

"The Chosen One" Completed Sketches Pages 1-3

I'll hold off on posting the next 3 pages until they are complete. The process on this one is so strange so far.

Also, this is gonna be the cutest damn comic I've ever drawn. Y'all are not gonna be able to handle the last few pages. It's sickening. 

"The Chosen One" Sketch Teaser #2

I'm beginning to feel the hype. 

"The Chosen One" Page 1 Sketch

I've finally got one.

And sticking with it. After over two weeks of illness/semi coma/writing, I've landed on a banger.

It's an 8 pager entitled "The Chosen One" beginning later this week.

Features both Ellie and Vivian, has a spectacular monster page, a Nola love letter panel, a touch of romance, multiple spooky moments, and of course a cheeky ending. I am expecting it to arrive on the anniversary of "The Airbnb" if not a bit sooner. Thanks everybody for sitting tight while I labored in silence on t...

I'm alive!

I appreciate y'alls patience while I formulate what's to come next. It's honestly been difficult to decide on my direction following "Thrill Seeker" and "Lush." I know y'all have watched me jump around all kinds of topics in the last month here on Patreon. It'll come to me! Also, those close to me have been aware of this over the past 2 weeks, but I've again been unwell and having immense difficulty acclimating to my new equipment. Great improvement today however on both fronts!

I'm a...
