Rainy Day WIP

Or.

Come see me strugle on video!

Like with the Ian Piece from the other day, here's the process video. This one is interesting cause I strugled a bit more while making this one. There's even a doddleing section in the beggining with me Trying to figure out the composition.

Or you can see the 30 seconds abridged version with less strugling attached down below. That one makes me look like a genius! lol

Rainy Day

I guess it's one of those doing nothing kind of days... 


And I guess Zara agrees.



There's not really a lot to say “canon wise” about this piece.


Maybe that it sort of retcons Zara’s department. See, I’ve established before that Zara, Diana and sometimes Lil’s department is located in a green building, but I needed the buildi...

Hey! Would you look at that, It's Lil!


I played around a bit with Lil’s design on this one. In the pool comic I drew the fur on the sides of her head gown down as a way of suggesting she was wet but I kind of liked how it looked and I sort of repeated that here. I don't feel like fully changing her design but I think it could be like a thing she does from time to time. Maybe for concerts like Zara using makeup when singing (And when I remember)

Guitar WIP

Hey there! Sorry I haven't posted a lot lately here, I've been stuck with work and life, and then with commissions so I haven't really been able to finish a personal piece.

Actually I had some free time on monday for that but It's something of a big Whisperers piece that somehow ended up turning into 2 pieces (Classic me) at least so It'll take me a bit to actually finish.

But in the meantime here's a small Wip teaser of another big project I started at the beggining of the year a...

Oh boy! Is it time for lore? I think it is! 


I, on a couple of occasions before like Twitter AMAs and such, had mentioned Davo being in another band before The Worn Down Children.


In highschool Davo played drums for like 6 months for this local band whose drummer had left to go to rehab after his 4th overdose.

Concert meme

Quick Thing.

I think this is a comment on Zara being an over-dynamic performer. 

I wanted to do one of these memes as soon as I saw them but I was busy with one thing and then another thing, and then the original post disappeared... Anyway…

The thing I liked is that having RJ and Zara on character in the picture would be an inversion of the dynamic. With RJ being a stoic chill guy and Zara being overactive on stage. IDK. 

I think RJ was supposed to record t...

Movie Night (WIP)

Oh, One of the benefits of Procreate that I haven't used as I could is the habitability of recording the process. So here's me making this piece.

Movie Night

And I think it's a horror film.


I haven't really expanded on Ian's story, and there's not really a reason for that, I just haven't. But here's this.


Ian moved into town from the outskirts of the city after highschool. He was sharing a department with a friend until that friend had to move in with his new wife before they had their kid.


After having a number of short lasting jobs, he landed one at the library where he worked for a couple of we...

Or the pool episode.

Well The story so far. The Worn Down Children got a gig at a small festival by the beach. Last time they did that they spent too much and this time they were running a bit low on cash so they stayed at a more or less cheap hotel that lets you camp in the garden for less and Take tagged along this time cause she had come up with a pla...

Rain Outside

Something of an older piece.


RJ and Zara having some quiet time on a rainy night at RJ’s place so they can be alone. But the record player is Zara's. She left it there some time ago but she still uses it often anyway.


I haven't decided, but probably during the time these two were trying to keep their thing a secret. Diana and Lil know Zara is going on a date but not necessarily with who, but they have suspicions, RJ is in his own place anyway so he doesn't ...

Oh, also. I participate on the Bluey reanimated collab being organized by Saberspark and others, and I was going to publish my scene when the whole thing is completed but I tought I could show it here first.

Only now while posting this I notice I may have gotten carried away with the "alts"


Let’s check out how things are going in the Davo and Tony department on this chill April 20th afternoon… Oh boy…

There are 2 versions of page 2 because I noticed a dialogue had double meaning by accident. I corrected it as if Diana had noticed too, but now I'm not sure which one I like more.

Sunday 6:13 am

Diana pauses on her way home to have some breakfast cause she has only been eating snacks since yesterday. They didn't have anything else at the party.

There's some different explanations for this one, one’s that we've all been in a party that ends up so late that you just wait there for a bit for the day of light to go back home. And that's probably what she did.

Originally this wasn't going to be a Diana piece, but I used her as a placeholder character for the sk...

Actually it was 23, thank you very much…

You know… One of the ways I’ve been thinking about oc lore lately is listing out my character by how much they like or can do things. Diana knows how to cook, Zara can’t do laundry. 

And If you ask me about the bandmates athleticism I’d list them Davo first who goes to the gym at least once a week, he likes to take his shirt off during shows, then RJ though he’s stronger, Diana and Zara who try to be in shape and...

My hand slipped and this happened…

I wanted to participate in this new art trend but I definitely overdid the assignment this time.

I had some problems finding the pose for this one and after many doodles I got a sense that Zara would totally love this dress.

So I thought I could use more than one pose and with that give the piece a bit of a narrative. About the time Zara got a fan...

Just a drawing of Lil. I was trying to catch a vibe I had.

I now it’s hardly noticeable but I was experimenting with some things with this one.

Actually some of those experiments didn’t worked so that’s why they’re not noticeable lol.

I add an album cover edit cause that’s an impression it gives me.

Like a “While my guitar gently weeps” cover album cover or something. Which would be endlessly ironic considering she’s holding a base in the picture.

I'm just hoping this comic about not understanding is understandable. Did it worked?

I came up with this comic last time I went out with my friends. The place was pretty loud and I've been experimenting with “sound” in comics a bit lately. So I wondered if there was a way to portray this specific experience.

For the texts I tried to make, it is not impossible to read them but kind of hard, and if you make the effort you'll realize their conversation makes no sense, they keep m...
