And another of the sketch practice pics! God I'm having so much fun with all of these, and really learning tons of stuff when it comes to color manipulation and such with Photoshop. Definitely going to be using this more in the future, and can see it helping a ton with my current work method!!

Alright and on to another update for May! Got 2 more sketches that I'm working through on the presentable feel :3! Bod tends to enjoy tea a little bit too much, so here is him enjoying all the bubble tea he can get haha. Should have these done in the next few days, so expect another post soon on it! Once these are done, it's back into the comic work, plus a little bit of storyboarding on the side.

Hokay! Something a bit different from this weekend, been wanting to work on making some of my flat colored/sketchy pics feel a bit more presentable! Been following the artist Loish for years now and they had a really nice tutorial on some of the things to work on to give rough sketches and pics that +1 treatment haha. So here is the first one I did with Bod sporting a nice little hoodie :3!

One big round derg as ordered! Bod has hit the limit of his mobility at this point, although there is still so much left to snag X3. But perhaps Naru has a few ideas on how to finish the rest off...
And done with the first set of inks for this month! Gonna see if I can get another one done for a bit of a headstart before starting into colors again :3!
So the other week I had watched through the whole Dragon Pilot anime. I have determined that the main dragon Masotan is very friend shaped, and needed to be doodled up.

The hi Res file for the new team wipe page!
2021-05-02 19:21:11 +0000 UTC View Post
It returns! Finally finished up another page for you all! Took a bit of time with the slower art pacing, but I'm pretty dang happy with the end result on this one! Lots of Bod getting drawn up with these ;3!!
Also I keep forgetting to post the teasers for folks also, so figured I'd tag this on to the file also so that folks can enjoy the little teaser images <3!

So a few months back I'd checked with folks about posting a sort of end of month summary for studies and things I've been working on for my art. This is gonna be the first of those posts for folks to check out! Lot of gesture stuff this month as I continue to get use to the new tablet, but it's been helping out a ton :3!
Now on to the meat and potatoes of the studies! One of the big things I've really been needing to work on is proportions and the main body mass. Been going through Prok...

Alright time for a bit of an update for you all this month :o! Getting some color work in on the next comic page! Still a bit of ways to go, but I'm hoping to have at least Bod finished up this next week before starting into Naru and Settlement! Also planning on working on the next set of inked pages this week also, especially now that I'm getting the new tablet down :3!

Hoi! Here is a small pic for yah all! Been working on getting the flow of sketching down again, and thought I'd do a little doodle up of Bod prior to getting the suit! Had a lot of fun playing around the the clothing design for this. Might tweak it a bit in the future, but this was definitely a bit of a fun venture for coming up with some new designs!
Also getting to show off a bit of the tech also in the world. Going to work on some stuff in the future on it, but for now you can see Bo...

Alright so time for something a bit different! Was able to put together and create a bunch of step by step photo's of the process for once with this last painting, which worked out perfectly for a step by step for once! So have a nice little GIF of it all combined :3! Will try and do a few more of these in the future with ones that work out well!
Weh, sorry about not getting this out to you all in time for the end of the month X'3. Been working hard on getting it all wrapped up, so hopefully better late then never!!
Been wanting to paint this pic up for almost a year now, and finally decided to sit down and do it haha. Took a bit due to the injuries and time off, but I'm glad I can call it done finally! Planning on having this pic be one of the illustrations for an artbook in the future showing off Bod's first night once he has ...

Hokay time for a bit of an update! Figured I'd start doing a mid month update for various going on's art wise from now on! Been chugging along with the greyscale piece a bit, and spending a good chunk of time getting familiarized with sketching on the Intuos! Still a tad bit messy, but really starting to get a good feel for the new tablet, and it's been so much nicer on my back haha!
Sadly still a bit slow as I work through my physical therapy, but I've been so happy to get back into th...
2021-03-14 20:18:51 +0000 UTC View Post
So this an idea that has been floating around in my head for close to 3 weeks now. Really happy to finally put it down on paper to see how it actually looks haha! Long story short, Poha saw some pics online of another Inteleon nomming on some pokeballs and thought he might give it a shot. Although gobbling up water types might not be the best move, especially if the pokeball pops open before you can make your escape...
Will probably start this sequence up in a month or so once I get bac...

Heya Everyone, so time for a bit of an update as we head into March! So first off here is a bit of sketches I had left over from before I went on break for the arm and back pain. Just some quicky doodles of Bod :3!
So now for news on recovery! Spent a good chunk of time off from games and art over the last 3 weeks, and feeling pretty good going into march to start drawing again! Got another meeting next week with a doctor to go over the injuries and set up some therapy, so things might ...

And another thing I had gotten done a bit earlier this month before the break! Had the lines finished up for the next team wipe page ;u;!!! Really had a ton of fun with this one, especially with some of the little Easter eggs haha
2021-02-15 19:28:21 +0000 UTC View Post
Heya so as I mentioned a bit earlier, got a few WIPs I can share while I'm taking a break from art! Got some pretty good progress in on the values for this painting and thought you all might enjoy it :3! In addition as a side part I included the 3 and 5 value study I did at the beginning to check the overall composition and values!!
2021-02-11 15:26:27 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, got a bit of an update I needed to let you all know about on here regarding the slower pace in art the last few weeks. So for those who don't follow me on twitter, 2020 was a bit of a rough year in terms of my body and some old injuries. Been working hard on trying to overcome some repetitive strain injuries on my wrists, shoulders, and back for the greater part of 2020 and had a bit of luck with it. But over the last 2 months some of them have started to come back a bit, and a ...

Hey so I was kind of curious and thought I'd check with folks on another sort of post I could do each month. Normally I spend a little bit of time working on focused studies each month to try and one up my art a bit. Would you all be interested in me posting the sketches/notes along with some sort...

and the hi res file for the sticker sale pic!
Doing a bit of a sticker sale next month for Me and Naru's etsy shop! Wanted to do a bit more detailed of a banner for once, and thought a nice doodle to go with it would be fun!

So got a bit of a wip for a greyscale painting I'm planning on doing! This pic has sort of been bouncing around in my head for almost a year and a half now since I started the original comic XD. Main idea of this pic is that it's sort of the first (and sort of only) time Bod puts on the suit haha! This is sort of gonna be my next little painting that I dabble around with while I work on the comic pages!
2021-01-26 16:46:00 +0000 UTC View Post
It's time to play cleanup on the map! Bod is working overtime on clearing out all that gold, although it's very much causing some expansive growth on that frame of his haha.
That is number 3 doodled up for the month! Got some good progress in it all this month. Will be starting into the coloring of the first page finished up this next month, but for now it's time to work on some other little pics and patreon stuff for the end of the month :3!
2021-01-25 17:07:20 +0000 UTC View Post
Some more doodles and scribbles before I delve into comic work today! This time with my lovely Inteleon Poha! Things are very much rounder with this grouping haha
2021-01-23 20:55:40 +0000 UTC View Post
And another set of lines for you all! Starting to finally get some progress with these all that I'm happy with! Also figure doing them in chunks like this might help the consistency just a tad bit more from page to page haha.

more saturday warmups! This time with Sobble's evolution Drizzile! Had to play around with a few rounds on this one also! They have such a fun little design and tum haha

Hooray! Getting back into the comic again, so enjoy the lines for the next page! Think I'm gonna spend this month playing catchup on linework, so I'll probably be sending some more your way as I knock them out :3!

Did a small wamrup session of sketches this weekend before I started into some comic pages, and decided to spend it doodling up Sobbles! Really love the little sad boi, although the headshape sometimes really messes me up XD. It's got just a slight egg shape to it that can be a bit tough to nail down.
