muted WIP 0.2

in which emma attempts to talk some sense into jasper.

i'm currently lining page 4 out of 6 from the next update &i'm enjoying it a lot!

my work hours have been exhausting, though. it's 2am, i've been working since 11am, with very little breaks inbetween. i would not recommend doing this, at least not for a long period of time LOL;;

but after the weekend.... i will most likely be...

REQUEST TIME - MAY EDITION

i can't believe the month is almost over already 😱

which character should i draw for this month's request stream??💕💕

(stream might happen during the week this time, i don't know exactly when yet, because of the weather! i can't stream when it's too hot or both i and my laptop might combust in the process;;;; but i'll let you know early enough)

muted WIP

today's schedule finally included some work on MUTED again ; -;) i will do my best to get the next part out to you guys at the beginning of june, it's going to be 6 pages!

for now, please enjoy these messy sketches 

tic toc | step by step | PDF

i had already threatened you guys with this, but it's happening now!

a detailed step by step, including me talking about tools, how i use them, experiences i've had with them and things i learned over the years!

i'm not a professional, but i do think i might have a few things to offer that could help you, too! maybe. in case you're interested in watercolour art at all 👀 i could very wel...

tic toc

finally, i can post the finished piece! it's been done for a while now but i wanted to prepare the step-by-step documentation before i upload this :) the step-by-step turned into a 15 pages long monster in which i talk a lot about my tools and how i use them, as well as stuff i've learned over the years!

the full pdf will be available for $5 patrons in just a moment :)

here's a sample page...

WIP <3

i hope you all will approve of jasper wearing bright yellow crocs :D <3

the banani squad.

i started working on some Q&A related things, someone asked for the MUTED cast in banana costumes, which i thought was a great idea.

two boys from another webcomic will join the trio for this one, can you guess who they are? x)

exploring.

some of today's doodles. still trying to find my mojo again, but i like looking at these, the colours please my eyes.

also my ear is acting up again, worse than the first time; i'll go see a doctor tomorrow u _u)

doodles &practise &filling your creative bank account

hello hello <3

as mentioned in a previous post i'm in a bit of a slump right now, it feels like my brain is completely empty ; _; i wanna draw so bad but it feels weirdly wrong and i cannot think of anything to draw?? i guess it's that "creative bank account" (Ⓒ jake parker) i've heard about?? you gotta fill it up constantly, otherwise it'll be empty at some point.

so that's what i'm ...

MUTED - Q&A

someone on webtoons said i should do a Q&A and i decided that's a very good idea, so here goes!!

if you have anything you wanna know about jasper, kai and emma, or even about me?? feel free to ask your questions here! it can be about pretty much anything, from their favourite foods to hobbies to their families or their thoughts and opinions on various things! whatever interests you :>

☀☀☀

 i have a big watercolour commission to do this month (on a 50 x 60cm  canvas 😱) and yesterday i painted a very quick draft to decide on  composition and colours to show to my client and get feedback to know  what i have to look out for and stuff. while i was waiting for her reply  i thought… hm.. …. since i already have my desk full of all the  materials….. ...

my old comics!

i deep-cleaned my apartment yesterday, i went so overboard my muscles actually feel sore today!! i came across some of my past failed attempts at comic-creating, and i thought it'd be interesting to share them with you!
these are, by far, not all of my early attempts. i might go digging deeper into my boxes full of art from the early years of my life at some point and take more pics of all the ...

patreon request - april (violet)

today's stream was a lot of fun, thank you for hanging out with me for 4 hours 💕💕💕

i haven't seen violet evergarden yet because since its release i didn't have time to watch anything that requires me to pay full attention (because of subs) but i'm excited to get to it at some point. i love her design and everything i've seen and heard about it so far ;;;;

my apologies to everyone ...

STREAM TONIGHT!

set your alarm for 8pm EST, that's when this month's request stream will happen!

no time-limit today, i'll hang out for longer to draw and talk with you guys, so feel free to stop by 💕💕💕

chapter 03 - cover preview

a late-night sneak peek for you 💕💕

progress on the new chapter is going well, 2 pages are close to finished and i'm pretty happy with them! i'm excited to share them with you (prrrobably at the end of next week!!), i hope you're a bit excited, too x)

also, please be on the lookout for the request stream announcement tomorrow! i will be streaming once i'm awake and fi...

walk walk fashion baby

after finishing the first part of the storyboard for chapter 3 i figured i should mayyyybee decide on outfits before i start sketching or i'll have trouble staying consistent throughout the pages again.

so, here are the final (messy and anatomically disastrous) results.

for now, chapter 3 will mostly just feature emma and jasper, if kai or anyone else shows up as well, i'll take a look at ...

sigh

jasper is an actual representation of my current self lolol

it's been almost a week since i last managed to draw anything for muted, so today i wanted to at least get back to my children with a quick cooldown doodle 💕

it's 3:15am already, time to sleep soon. lots to do tomorrow (= try to get a tax accountant last minute because as much as i'd like to do all that stuff on my own, i have ...

REQUEST TIME - APRIL EDITION

uah, sorry it's been a bit quiet here over the last few days!! as i mentioned before i had a lot of stuff to get done before the end of april, which left me with zero opportunity to make anything that i could show off on patreon ;;;; but now that that's (mostly) out of the way, i'm back and ready for some patreon action...!!

now, you know the game by now, hit me up with a character you'd like me...

date preparation

basically the prequel to yesterday's drawing 😂😂😂

also an excuse to get used to drawing emma again, because she'll be back in chapter 3!!

̶s̶p̶r̶i̶n̶g̶ summer days ☀

here in germany we have seemed to skip spring completely this year, we went from snow to the sun burning down with full force within one week T uT)

jasper and kai both like the outdoors (in kai's case the part of the outdoors that doesn't include too many humans) and they'd definitely use the current weather to go hiking or something. (author's note: i can't relate to that, if i didn't have to l...

muted - public update

either on tapas or on webtoons!!

please enjoy! ヽ(´∀｀ヽ)

what used to be

could this be... kai with short hair.... from the past??

this was my cooldown doodle last night. the metaphoric bubbles he's breathing will reappear in the next update, which i'll post for $5 patrons at the end of the week!

any guesses what they could be about? :3c

i'm always curious if my storytelling is too vague, just fine, or super obvious LOL one of my biggest worries is giving ...

page 65 (WIP)

the next update will be 4 pages long and conclude the current chapter! this has basically all still been an introduction for the characters and the general plot, we can dive deeper into the story now.

initially i thought i would be done with the entire story of MUTED in ~70 pages, turns out i was very wrong LOL looking at my plans for this story now i think it will at least go on until the end o...
