TINR: Burn Pt.3
Ahhh moonlight and forest. So romantic.
Perfect scenery for skullbashing and nosebleeds.

oh my god, these backgrounds killed me, but I think they're some of my best work with bgs so far +_+
I'm really proud of that one first bike tire frame. I ended up making a new brush in photoshop and it has been helping like crazy. If I use it large, it make a camera 'bokeh' effect, and if it's small, it makes excellent textures.
Under shape dynamics, I set the size jitter to 100%, minimum diameter to 0%, then under scattering I set the scatter to 1000% and the count down to 1. 2015-10-09 21:39:32 +0000 UTC View Post
time for a new chapter~
This one's gonna be a bit of a doozy <3

I really enjoyed drawing the rain in this one <3
I've attached the PSD for this one as well if you want to see the whole uncompressed thing :D [ beware, it's a big file X'D ]

Ah, finally back in the saddle with a new page and a new chapter!
It was so weird drawing different characters and environments @_@
But now that I'm drawing the cafe and other chars again, I think I can tell that I've made some improvements! I enjoyed the dreary atmosphere and lighting in this page. I really wanted to do some rain ^_^
This chapter will only be a 2-page setup, then we'll dive into another big one.

I realized I only ever posted a low res of this pic on my darkblog. Here's a high res version and .psd attached if you're interested :D

Made another coloring tutorial! This time I went over how I shade hair in the comic.
My method doesn't give you the most realistic hair in the universe, but it's very very FAST! XD My coloring methods with the comic are often centered around getting as much quality as I can in a small amount of time, since I have to color such a large amount of stuff at once.
Next tutorial will be eyes! Leave a comment if there's something you'd like me to make a tutorial with <3...

WHEWWW
Done another chapter!!! :D
Now I'm gonna take a week off to relax before starting 'Snap' ^_^ Don't worry though, I'll probably be still contributing here. I'll be working on lots of other projects! <3
2015-09-05 18:23:37 +0000 UTC View PostI never intended to make an actual font of my alphabet replacement since I write all my dialogue by hand, but I realized I need a sort of computer interface thing for the last page... and hand writing that much text for a background type element would be insane.
So I made a font!
And you can have it too! XD [ it's in an attachment to this post ]
It's not terribly high quality, and the kerning is ultra close, but hey it's free and you can do wh...

Hey hey! Here's a little teaser for the last page of Death :D Farz has TERRIBLE survival skills.
Also, it's a new month! So I'll be starting my Patron's Choice pic soon! Since there was only one [ fairly vague >_> ] suggestion, I'll be going with that!
The suggestion was basically 'a subtly sinister character'. I actually have an old idea for a project that I've been holding on the back burner for a while now that might suit this criteria. It's also an a...

I'm slowly working on a pic of these two -rubs chin- I want it to be really good so I'm taking my time on it. I think I'm fairly satisfied with the composition, but I'm not happy with all the anatomy and expression :/
Sketch stage can be a real challenge XD
I'm planning on having it be dark/nighttime, soft purple 'moonlight' over the whole thing, then some sharp object source lighting coming from two tentacle corners [ orange for strade, light blue for raven ]
:T
I guess no one taught him to double-tap.
This page was a real treat in terms of drawing interesting expressions!

Hey! Here's my first tutorial. It's really super basic stuff, but I figured I'd start with this so that the next ones will make more sense.
Here's some basic info about my setup as well:
- I use a Mac, but that doesn't really matter. Just make my user interface look a little different than PC.
- I use Photoshop CS6, but hopefully a lot of this theory can translate over to other programs too. I'm not doing anything super complicated for the most part.
- A...

this chunk was a lot of fun to draw. Very very complicated and detail intense though, there's some jam packed frames in there. But all in all, I'm actually fairly pleased about how the action panels came out!
2015-08-22 01:50:29 +0000 UTC View PostWe're about 2/3rds through the month so I better ask now:
What would you guys like to see some art of? I've decided that once a month, I'll pick a subject from whatever you Patrons choose [ just comment here! ] and I'll draw a fully rendered pic.
You can suggest whatever you want [ no really, WHATEVER. This is Patreon so I can draw as NSFW as I want ] but I make the choice at the end of the month. If no one suggests anything, I'll just draw something stupid. 2015-08-19 14:30:55 +0000 UTC View Post
Here's an example of how a typical frame will look throughout the week as I work on a chunk :D My chunks vary in size but they're usually 9-12 frames long.
Monday: I know that looks like ass but the point of thumbing is mostly just to decide how a frame will be composed. A lot of the day is spent thinking. I look at my script a lot, which is formatted like this:
[Farz, arms down] I don’t fucking care what you want, you psycho! I’m not d...

I dropped this frame in the middle of inking pt 5 of Death [ it was between the last two ], I don't like the look of it and I felt it messed up the pacing anyway. I usually drop and add frames on monday while doing thumbs, but sometimes they get this far before I realize I hate them x_x
2015-08-18 21:12:42 +0000 UTC View PostI'm planning to try and squeeze some time into making some tutorials for patreon. I was leaning towards doing colouring ones first. My vague plans are for a basic tutorial [ what brushes I use, basic steps for laying flats, choosing colours ], a hair+eyes tutorial [ since I take some pretty specific steps with those ], and a metal+textures tutorial [ since I constantly abuse that crap in the comic ]
Do you have any ideas for tutorials? Is there something you'd like to see?

Alrighty, I've decided I'm not going to apologize for Strade's dialogue any more. >_>
Also, while I'm at it, I know it's gross to say but I really enjoy drawing blood and tears. This was a fun page/chunk for that.

If you REALLY want to know what Strade is saying [ I don't recommend it, he's disgusting and will say nothing good ], Here's the translated alphabet.
