January Dropbox Rewards

Here's this month's dropbox download, featuring all the Libby & Holly Chapter 1 pages.

I think I have some changes in store for those, so I may update them as the month goes on. Very minor fixes, like for speech bubbles and stuff, but if you stick around for next month I'll have the updated pages by then for sure.

Most of the files this month are in that little folder labeled Holly & Libby pages, since there is where I spent a lot of my time, as well as with taking photos ...

Libby & Holly Ch.1 Complete (p1-18)

I've decided to make this comic free just as it is on itch.io because I think it's a good introduction to my work! If you like this, you'll probably enjoy my other comics too! 💗

------

We're coming up on the end of January now and I'm feeling really good about the state of the comic at the moment. I went through and did a quick audit of some of the older pages, added color and corrected some text (I'll probably ...

Libby & Holly pg14-17

Happy Friday everyone!! I was sitting on these pages and tinkering with them this week because I was reworking dialog a bunch as I went and trying to figure out how I wanted to treat color to make this sequence feel kinda quiet and moody, like Libby doesn't turn the lights when she enters the bathroom and her imagination kinda runs wild! :)

I hope you enjoy these and that they were worth the wait! My plan is to do 1 more page and then clean up some previous ones and call this "Part 1" ...

Libby & Holly WIP pages 14-16

I'm trying hard to accept showing more of my process this year, even in the moments where I feel it's not resolved and makes me a little uncomfortable, I know I'll figure it out in the end. 

I love having an opportunity for a change of atmosphere described through color and I really want it to feel like Libby did not turn the light on when she entered the bathroom. I hope that it feels like she's in a dark, cave-like, safe space that makes her imagination even more potent....

Sketches + Greek Vase Timelapse

I drew some other Greek or maybe Amazons that I might clean up into some sort of vase type form. It's fun to try to translate the faces from Greek sculpture into something more expressive.  Also I just doodled some random nonsense but included them as well.

Check the attachment to see a timelapse process vid of the last Greek vase illustration!

Happy Tuesday everyone! Here's a couple pages for ya!

In other news, I am still working on the physical comics. 

Seriously spent 30 hours on this stuff. I'm always fighting with perfectionism but it's easier for me to put it aside in the context of drawing since I have more practice. Graphic design and product stuff is another beast. Hoping to wrap it up this week.

Want some art talk? Keep reading, if not, that's fine too 🧡 I hope ...

Friday Sketches

Well gang, it's Friday. I've just got a few doodles that happened over the course of this week but I've been kinda all over the place in general. Oh yeah, I drew a silly scifi Libby for fun :)

I'm still working on last little tweaks and fixes on print stuff. At this point I don't know if I'm particularly bad at getting things ready for print or if I just relearn the same lessons every time😅 because wowza. I am slow.

Yesterday I realized Fitting for a Lady would be the only comi...

Greek stuff

I'm still having fun with this stuff. I don't know that much about Greeks and Amazons except that they fought, but I do adore the color palettes of greek pottery. Gonna have to do more research if I'm going to do an earnest project about them but I am also kind of fond of work that is made in a liiittle bit of ignorance? I feel like sometimes not fully understanding something  lets me play with the rules in a more lax way that arrives at interesting new ideas.

Wednesday Miscellaneous Update

I was hoping to have a more definitive, complete update with lots of really solid finished things but what I have to share today is a lot of bits and pieces.

1. An Ancient Greek lady!

2. A endsheet pattern for Little Bird's bath that steps a biiit out of the endsheet format that the other books have but I wanted to do something kinda fancy to complement the design/borders of that book. Also I was very inspired by this design from Ivan Bilibin's illustrated "The Golden Cockerel." ...

Happy Saturday, everyone! 💖I gave myself a break from the physical comic related graphic design stuff to do something fun in the form of this page. :)

Bellyband WIP

Some of you mentioned not minding seeing more of the technical, not strictly horny parts of the process. So for what it's worth, here's some of the spoils of my efforts today. I started off sketching things on paper and totally lost the little Winton figure by the time I had been fussing with wiggles in Illustrator for hours(still might try to bring him back.)

Don't ask why it's so important to remake the bellyband for the new laser jet edition of my comics or why I even need a bellyba...

Sketchbook pages and Timelapse!

These are a bunch of drawings that have come out of being in love with a lot of stylized proportions in illustration lately and just wanting to indulge!

I feel like whatever I draw in my "sketchbook" ends up becoming a comic or some other project 6-12 months later. I started drawing some sillly one-offs in a Gibson style almost a year before I took Fitting for a Lady. Who knows, maybe there's a really silly stylized project in my future!

I added some little doodles and notes after...

Whoops surprise there's two pages! 

Didn't get as far on colors before feeling the need to share it with you all this time. What do you think of of the *asterisk-ish thougth clouds? I kind of like how they stay in the background to the dialog, like thoughts are, but I'm not 100% on the furriness alone, maybe they should have a pale fill color so they pop out a liiiittle more? 🤔


Happy Tuesday, everyone! 💖

Hello Gold Patrons 👑💖
Here's a link to this month's hi res downloads and timelapses and comics and sketchbook pages. I hope you enjoy the new expanded format of the summoner/ pegging couple spreads. They're a little large but hopefully not too unweildly in that format.

More miscellaneous December Sketches

I'm back from a little holiday travel and decided to collect some of the doodles I've done for you here! I started thinking about Amazons and Greeks as a drawing theme from previous suggestions because I haven't gotten that far through the last batch just yet.
But mostly I'm just drawing Libby and Holly to further help familiarize myself with them!

Tentacle Summoner Part 4

I know I said that I would have a CYOA update by now but I keep getting distracted. This is one of those distractions. I wanted a satisfying conclusion to this series so I just kept going.

Poppy & Oak pinup

Happy Monday, everyone! Finally got around to finishing up that Poppy and Oak pinup I started at the beginning of the month, I decided to incorporate the dropping temps around me this week into the final version.

Hoping to have a lot more updates for you all this week as I was just able to wrap up another project last week finally!

I wanted to repost with this kind of complete little section since I have to go back to doing roughs after completing the lineart pages!

Those of you who are new to the patreon (thank you for joining! 🥰) might be surprised to find the kinda haphazard state to the comic at this stage. I don't think I'm particularly capable of nailing everything down the first time so I tend to speed through pages as much as I can and then return to make corrections once I'm further along in the story...

Holly and Aster Character Sheets

Took a little while but here's where I ended up.
For the longest time their looks just weren't quite cemented in my mind but doing these drawings has me feeling a bit better about Holly and Aster.

I haven't always done very detailed character sheets but in this case I wanted to see if drawing a couple of outfits for them might flesh them out in my head a bit more. 

I'm going to end up tweaking the color palette of the book to get these tones, which is no big deal since I h...

A Mostly Holly Sketch Collection

December 12 already!?!? I have been hoarding drawings, sorry y'all!

Well I've been consistently struggling with nailing down Holly's character design so my antidote has been to just keep drawing and see what feels good. If enough good feels overlap, that's the design and I'll run with it. 

Check the attachments to see some timelapses! They're mostly just of the drawing process  though, I added the tone as a bit of an afterthought, as well as making the final arrangements...

Libby x Holly Page 7

This one is definitely a little bit less finished that some of the previous pages. I'm kinda racing to get to page 8 so I can start roughing out the next 8 pages right now and I think when I reach that page I'll post them as a set of pages 1-8.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Tentacle Summoner Cont. Pt 3

EDIT: Found a way to fit the previous two into one spread that's not too bad so I have updated the spread!

It takes some coaxing but the tentacles demon catches on. Happy Wednesday, everyone! I feel like you can read my enthusiasm for drawings based on my line quality. 😂

I feel like I've slid back in time a year, I'm trying to employ that soft shading technique I was fascinated with from the model studies of last winter on these. I'm always fascinated by what gradients do to cr...
