One thing that makes itself apparent from working with different tools, is that they can greatly affect how you draw. I like to come up with custom brushes that feel right to me, but I also like to let them tell me what they're good at. When I find something that works and fits my current mood, it's a real treat.
I have a pret...

I'm really sleepy right now. Welcome to September everyone.
Anyway, you ever see those like unfinished renders of 3d animated movies when no one's got their textures on but all the phong and bezel and whatevers are in place so the lighting looks good? I guess this is the equivalent. There are some more passes with the lighting...

I don't have too much to say that hasn't been said in other posts these past few weeks. Thank you all for sticking with me. And for the new guys who've jumped in, I hope you get a few looks at things that you like. And I hope to see you all in September.

Apart from her head being like 3 times larger than it should be, this is one of the better drawings I've done all week. This week started rough for me and it's not much better. But I'll try to keep getting things done especially as the month winds up.

Guh, I was really knocked flat the past 3 days. Partially it's due to moving and some minor drama that hit me hard. I'm gonna be making an important repair to my PC too, so hopefully that goes okay or else my week is completely screwed.

The Amazing World of Gumball is one of the prettiest cartoons on television right now. It's willingness to play with different styles and techniques in animation is held together by deft palettes and powerful use of lighting. It helps that it's also really funny at times.

Here's more of that three color layer process. I've changed it a bit, and when I'm doing the final lineart layer, I'm working in blue underneath the sketch layers because it's easier to see if I'm overstepping things.
I don't often get to toot our horn, but this is one of those silly little stories we can only r...

We didn't have too much planned out for a race of tiny and easy to totally dominate adorable aliens. We knew we were kinda making a play off those Funko Pop figures, so running with that I took the big dot eyes and noseless faces. A mouth is too useful to have for expressing things. And then the dog ears were the best.

Early art of Enna, from Salamander. (Ya might remember, the comic we were working on with the knights and the fire and the trees.)

If I were being honest with myself, I think I'm getting a little bored of drawing appealing ladies standing around. Gotta branch out more. Maybe appealing ladies reading books. Or doing STEM projects.

I feel like I wish I got across a more festive attitude on this page, but I think there were some limits based on what I needed to get across on a basic level before I could embellish on the scene. In a way I wish I could do a crowd shot on every panel, but I also realize that I wouldn't be able to kill myself doing this page. I...

This is probably the roughest state you'll ever see one of these. But it might be slightly informative in how I've started moving back and forth between the layout/sketch/ink layers instead of completing each layer separately. I find this helps to fight boredom which can settle in when doing the same thing for a long time. And i...

Done as an impromptu "request" while I was sketching and looking for ideas.

I went ahead and took a whole evening to do this. I'll probably post it to the deviant art later. Maybe I'll refine the shading or the coloring.
Honestly, there are worse ways to "unwind" than working a lot on mecha girls.

I discussed a bit about what happened the last couple of weeks on my Twitter. It's also mixed with a lot of tweets and retweets about my lefty anti-trump politics, so it might not be the best way to find out about what's going on in my regular life.

Working on this one has been hellish. Mostly because of me just being sad for a couple weeks. The rough layout layers were really wonky. And going to the lineart before making sure those were good has hurt it. But it is what it is, and the page is late enough already. Gotta get it moving.

I'm going to need to reformat the patreon a bit. Just clarify things, make better promises. After two years having done this, I know a bit better what I can do and am wary about biting off more than I can chew. I've had a lot to think about. And I need to make this work better for you and for me, in order to make rent and have d...

The first three panels are done, the rest still need to be filled in.
So far the process I've chosen to do on this page was to go back to a more traditional paint by layer approach. No fancy layer masks or overlay colors. Just straight color painted onto each spot. I think I might have picked it because the page is going t...
