Happy Holidays

Just wanted to say thank you all for all the support and encouragement you give me in my work. I feel like I'm going to fall short of where I'd like to again this month 🙃 and I'm going to try to make the best of it.

As my one concession toward giving myself a break I started playing Paper Mario Thousand Year Door, so I started drawing Princess Peaches.

Libby couldn't be bothered to dress up for a holiday pinup on her day off, so here's what you get 🎁 Have a safe and happy ho...

I am doodling and animating in spite of my better judgement again

Yeah, you can't keep Winton on task for very long, that's for sure. 😅 I have been drawing these things on the periphery of coloring Libby & Holly-- I'm up to page 24/44 which sounds like not very far but there's some color on everything, I'm just doing final pass stuff on most of it.

I'm drawing cute stuff again with thick lines to make it easier and also revisiting character design options for that satyr character I'll need to start drawing soon 🤔

December Drawings

I'm still hard at work on getting all Libby & Holly Ch3 colored (I'm over halfway through now why oh why did I leave this to the end 😭) but I've taken some time off in the evenings to doodle things using my December palette.

My buddy Havoc shared with me some character sheets from this hentai anime called Office Lingeries directed by Katsuhiko Nishijima, one of the key animators from Vampire Hunter D and its been infecting my brain ever since.

Kitt🐰 x Winton collabs

These are some of the coloring alts that Kitt🐰 put together out of Libby & Holly drawings from a bit further back in October.

It's been interesting and honestly confusing adding someone else's contributions into my process. I feel like there's an implicit expectation that all of an artists' work is exclusively their own and part of my brain believes this to be true, while rationally I know that many if not all of my favorite created works involve a team.

November Dropbox Download

💖💖Thank you, gold patrons for your support in the month of November! 💖💖As well as for your patience in waiting on this download!

I'm still in the process of coloring all of Libby & Holly so I'm including those as well as last month's CYOA update until I'm able to be completely caught up.

Since I'm a little light on new things to share this month I'm also adding some of the Libby & Holly's colored by my assistant Kitt🐰, for your enjoyment :) We're still ...

More November Drawings

I am being steamrolled by this month 😩 Really haven't been able to focus very much on the big project goals, I'm sorry to say.

Between travel and...more travel for the holidays I've been struggling to make progress on anything that isn't the kind of small portable sketch stuff you see here, I'm hoping that I get a nice clean reset in December and can move forward all the same and make up for the lost time.

Don't ask me what Girlfriend Premium means-- because really, ALL girlfr...

November witch sketch + animation, libby & holly animation stuff

I accumulated a few sketches over the past week and I've combined them here. I think there's something in the sketches I'm going to try to refine.

I also have been experimenting with how much I can accomplish with just 3 frames of animation. A little bit of further exploration of the witches, a little bit of just wanting to draw Libby & Holly fooling around while I'm still working on finishing up the coloring 😅

I also tried to refine that witch animation a bit more so the...

Consentacle witches

😅 Special thanks to patron marceline✨ for offering a very vivid/descriptive idea for this couple, it seemed like an idea we can all get behind and I'm not too proud to admit a good idea when i hear it ;)

I feel like I'm really bad at coming up with tattoo ideas on the spot so I just drew random things, but ahh, how lucky to have a gf who is also a witch, right? 🧡💚

I didn't really intend to make this into a comic but the drawings just kinda fit toge...

Park witch

As soon as I turned to look again, she had already vanished.

Happy Wednesday! I had actually started on this before I left for the big city, but looking at it again after coming back I saw an opportunity to take it in a slightly different direction.

Decided to make this one a print, for those interested-- I don't think Inprnt can object to it because there's nothing overtly sexual happening 😤: 2024-11-21 00:29:29 +0000 UTC View Post

Witch things, continued

Sorry about hte radio silence everyone! I took a week to visit NYC for the first time and I just got back yesterday :) It wasn't exactly an unplanned trip, but what was unplanne was how little time I ended up having to post anything while I was away.

As a result, I am behind where I hoped to be, but I have a lot of nearly complete things I'm going to be polishing up and sharing because the trip was full of inspiration and I'm eager to get back to work.

Consentacle witches in progress + Hokusai art talk

These are a smattering of unfinished things I'll be hopefully cleaning up this week, I didn't want to let things drift and go un-shared like I did last month!

I watched Look Back this week and it's suuuuuch a beautiful film, I've decided I have to seek out the rest of that director's work because I really love the sensibilities. It's got a certain amount of messiness that I find really validating since I have been trying to work up the urge to do more animation but also not get obsessed...

Sketches, Animation Tests + OCT. Dropbox Download

Here's a bunch of miscellaneous things I didn't get around to sharing earlier in the month that'll be in your dropbox download at the bottom of this post.⤵️

Sketches

CYOA sketches: Yes I briefly drew the goblin with tig ol bitties as well, which was fun but ultimately I appreciate the challenge of making her petite frame look really strongly built. I've been looking at a lot of power lifters for reference.

CYOA:The Orc and the Tower Pt 16

The scent of the blossoms around you seems suddenly stronger, as if you’ve finally been saturated in the aroma. It makes you feel simultaneously lighter and heavier, like slipping into a pool of warm oil. You idly wonder if the garden sprites seem larger than before.

One of the friendlier sprites gives you a gift of sweet nectar to drink, it tastes of sun-ripened melonfruit from the Engorgian fields.

Update 11-2-24 :
 Just a quick note, I was planning on getting out the the first orders today but Shopify has suddenly notified me they're still verifying my account so hopefully your orders will be going out on Monday or Tuesday! Thanks for your patience. They seriously waited until I tried to print shipping labels to tell me. 🙄

For some GOOD news though-- I'll be putting your stickers inside some little envelopes featuring a re...

Aster things

I'm not sure if a little more will come of the drawings or not. This is more of the sketchbook page type content I share with the gold patrons. I was just kind of enjoying drawing her face.
 
I was going to do a pretty conventional color palette for this Aster image but then I started thinking about the crunchy printing on vintage canvas bound books. Especially with intense warm and cool colors that vibrate a lot. I thought it would fit Aster's vibe. I kept going back and forth on...

Last page!! Happy Tuesday!

I’m planning on doing cover art and a full color pass over all the pages (as well as to remove typos) over the next week or so to prepare the comic for printing and digital release  and then it’ll be really truly complete!

November will kinda be a lighter month for me in terms of production stuff, I’m going to be starting on the next comic project, a short comic about a swordsman and a cute satyr in Ancient Greece, and then I...

WIPs (Aster, elf, Libby, stickers

I've got a big grab bag here for the moment. I don't know how how October has gone by so fast!😵‍💫

But hey I've got some fun things cooking and I'm really enjoying the work at the moment even if my normal life is making me a little crazy. Thanks for coming along for the ride :D

Witch animation sketch (cleanup 10/26)

10/26 - I took a little bit more time to on this. It's a little less vibratey now and has three times the tentacles! This has a been a nice experiment to do. I don't animate very frequently at all these days so I feel like I'm always relearning things and working on so few frames is just the kind of limitation that I need to keep things manageable so I can have the satisfaction of completing something in just a few sittings instead of working on something for weeks.

I think we all need...

This isn't strictly speaking addressing the poll because y'all voted for Aster but these are some of the witchy things I was already in the middle of. Definitely more to come, but this is just so I can say hello and Happy Tuesday!

I was so surprised so many of you voted to see more of Aster this month in the witch poll!

Well, she'll be in the next two pages, I can tell you that! :D

Some trans witches

I kinda conspicuously left trans witches off the poll because, frankly, that's going to happen whether you ask for it or not. :p

I was doing some doodles and decided to put a little color on them because I'm impatient, y'all.

October Sketches Manga Libby + 1920s style

These are the things that have been rattling around this month. My love affair with cartoonier art styles continues and sometimes I indulge them like this.

I always have in the back of my mind this potential for a roaring 20's art deco type project but I only know how to draw cute feminine faces in the style so I tried to expand that idea but I'm not totally convinced by it.


 I've been listening to a lot of George Gershwin music in recent months ever since seeing Rhapsod...

Happy Wednesday!

I tried to condense all your wonderful suggestions into a few different categories-- some of you had really elaborate (and quality💖) suggestions which I think will fit within these themes for the most part and I'll do my best to execute on some of the visions proposed ;) I love it when y'all are hyper specific😂

Get your votes in before Saturday! 🖤 Multiple choice this time :D
