I promise Holly will show up soon. :) I'm going a little overboard with the lineart still-- I haven 't quite found the simplistic cartoonier groove that i was hoping to with this and I think the Edwardian influence is doing it to me 😔
It turns out I have a stronger aesthetic groove worn in when it comes to drawing Prudence so I find it overtaking and making the Libby style a little b...
Oak taking care of Poppy, plus some little sketches. This started out as me just planning to do some sketches and then I started to try something a little bit more involved and started doing this bigger illustration.
It seemed like a good idea to change up the costuming for the weather so I gave Poppy a Carhartt jacket and I've started wondering, does Oak's hair turn brown until the...

These are just some sketchbook drawings I've been sitting on for a little bit. I wanted to share them with you all before the end of the month report! Got a little Libby and Poppy and Oak in here too!
I think the CSP default pencil tool is pretty swell, being able to use the broad side of the pencil is really wonderful for suggesting planar shifts, it makes me think I should be drawing wi...

I dunno what's been so appealing to me about these teddy style nighties lately, but I keep finding myself drawing them. They kind of mask and reveal a figure at the same time, they're so poofy and kinda just remind me of a layer cake or an elaborate pudding.
They also kinda fit into this notion I'm always attracted to of blending medieval fantasy with mid century fashion. Anyways--more frie...
This is of course still a little work in progress-y. I plan to continue doing clean lineart and then do a final pass with all the halftones and colors when I have a bit more done!
I always find a bunch of corrections I want to make very late in the process anyways.
Happy Wednesday ♥️

The saga continues. 💛 Happy Monday, everyone!
Holiday weeks are always kinda wash for me in terms of output so I wanted to send out a little something ahead of my travel in case I don't have much else to show until after Thanksgiving.
If I can get myself to focus the next update will either be more Libby or CYOA, else if I can't focus, more tentacle witches or other things ...

Edit: Forgot to attach the timelapse so you can have a looksee at the process on this one! Spoiler: the "process" was starting on a completely different idea and than abandoning it to start over on this. 😅
I don't know if the colors will end up looking anything like this in the end, I just started adding some tone so I could see if adding some volume changed the way the lines feel and ...

I haven't had a sketchbook process update in a while, I'd like to do things in a bit more informal way if everyone's okay with that. Still posting sketchbook pages and whatnot but also kind of embrace the more casual and basically show everything that's currently on my desk :)

No color just yet because I want get more pages done before I put color on and leave some busy-work for those braindead days where all I can do is color.

This was one of the poll theme suggestions that I saw some of you were "upvoting" with likes so I didn't bother putting on the poll because I knew I would do it no matter what haha 😏 so what's the point, right?

I'm using this first page as a stylistic test-bed. I'm going a liiiiittle bit cartoonier with this one, just because it's so nice to have a little bit of loosey-goosey freedom with character designs and expressions..
Fitting for a Lady kinda necessitated a lot of attention to detail and with Libby and Holly I think I'll be able to swing more towards an playful realism where things k...
2022-11-08 22:22:07 +0000 UTC View PostYou gave so many good options, I had a really hard time narrowing this down to just these. Some I would have loved to try but I always get picky about doing justice to the characters and I think it'd take a lot more research to do it properly. I hope to be able to try them again in the future when I'm more familiar with the subject matter.
Honestly I feel like I use these poll...

Happy Friday!
I wanted to give her at least two outfits. :) I still am not sure about the final color palette of the comic but I'm pretty sure it'll be mostly monochromatic no matter what to keep things easy, and to be honest I'm not even sure I'll have two tones.
I'm pretty sure this is the brush I'll be using for the comic, it's a bit of a bleedy mess that reminds me of drawing w...
Yay progress! Apologies for not making the text more legible at just this stage-- I've been focused mostly just on making sure that there's room for dialog, the step that I normally ignore. I may still find I didn't leave enough further down the road but we're clinging to the "fix it later" philosophy now in the interest of progress :)
I got a little further than I actually intended...

Happy Halloween, everyone! I made some witches, for you. 🎃
It started with just the one on the left and then just kinda cascaded. Gonna share a timelapse for gold patrons in this month's Gold patron dropbox download so you can see how much I change my mind, hehe.

I figured I ought to tr to do a little bit more witchy things before October is officially over. Here's some of that, I'll probably wrap these up tomorrow!
I've also got some very very noisy and maybe illegible Libby thumbnails! :) I might just run with these for a little while so I can start making roughs and actual pages rather than try to plan the whole thing thoroughly for now.

Double post today! I wanted to keep this a little separate other art stuff. I'm still playing with getting all my comics print ready at the larger, laserjet size! This means I'm using InDesign more than I ever have in my whole life. 😔Not necessarily a good thing.
Since this printer is way more efficient and faster than my inkjet I'll be able to more easily put together comics with more...

I've been using the name Dana in my script for the Libby comic, but I don't know if that really fits her so I'm holding on that. She doesn't play a huge role in this story but I hope to use her more in the future!
Happy Friday, everyone!

This illustration was mostly about the color palette if I'm honest. Sometimes I just really want to see some colors work together and the whole idea behind it is secondary. It's really convenient to have Libby sitting around waiting for applications such as these tho :)

Thank you all for your patience, please enjoy some Isabelas. 💙
I'm always a little iffy on drawing fanart from games I've never played so I watched a bunch of Isabela cinematics from the Dragon Age games and I gotta say I'm a fan of pirate captains.
It reminded me of my Belit fanart from a couple years ago that I never quite was pleased with.
