Sketches- February 2020

Here's this months stash!

I'm not sure what's going on with the tags recently- it seems to be not filtering correctly, despite everything being quite neatly categorised, and I'm sorry if that makes things difficult to navigate :S, I'm hoping its a patreon problem that'll fix itself!

Charity Case Ch5:Pg13 process & high res

I feel like you could pull the background pallette from a sweets section :P, I always seem to default to softer pastels!

Charity Case Ch5:Pg13

gettin real wibbly up in here

Charity Case Ch5:Pg12 process & high res

At least a little bit inspired by whisper of the heart :P

Charity Case Ch5:Pg12

Alex actually pre-dates the whole cast of charity case ;P they're an old OC I never used much! They're an impressionistic fine artist in their free time- and boss lets them put up art shows in the shop sometimes.

Here I'm actually using a verse I didn't use the first time around!

Charity Case Ch5:Pg11

getting into those wacky colours again ;)

thanks for the patience last week!

Hermit & Hiker- Ink experiments 2 & test page

I decided the finick-ey ness of screentones wasn't worth the hassle, I couldn't get the effect I wanted with them! I realised I could add noise to a regular grey to give it some texture, and that's what the last test page is!

Rock Tier- OC Meme

I've crossed some out that I don't like, but feel free to ask any OC any question! As always I can't do all of them, but I'll try choose a selection and work from them! (like I won't just draw them answering the questions, that wouldn't be very spicy...)

Depending on how it goes, I might keep this for next month too, I'...

Comic process update

Hiya! Just a post to let you know that I'm going to change the way I produce pages- recently I've been doing two pages from scratch every week, but I think it's affecting my pacing  negatively! I'm going to start sketching pages in batches, to try and get them to flow better, instead of starting new every week!
This w...

Hermit & Hiker- Val's house concepts 3 & ink experiments

I think I'm going to settle on the nib style of the second to last page, with the forest! As much as I love the brushier ink, it really bothers me how much detail I lose and how unpredictable it is (see the half finished kitchen inks haha) I like the fineness of the nib, and also it's a lot less strain to use because theres v...

Charity Case Ch5:Pg10 process & high res

I really love drawing the flow of music, its so fun!

Charity Case Ch5:Pg10

It took us years but finally, a band!

I hope you're all ready for some lumpy instruments :P

Charity Case Ch5:Pg9

finally!

February Poll

I want to do a more finished painting of a character this month- which means it'll be shared publicly, but I thought I'd give you all the chance to vote for who you want to see!

Hermit & Hiker- Vals house concepts 2

Bedroom and library done, on to the living room/kitchen :'). It's such a ridiculous amount of stuff to plan, but at least once its done, its done.

Charity Case Ch5:Pg8 process & high res

I accidentally put Roman in the one place he'd blend into the background, hence the colour outline :S!

I'm also using a 3D model for the drums...which helps so so much.

Charity Case Ch5:Pg8

I wish I had a cosy pillow and blanket nook tbh.

Charity Case Ch5:Pg7 process & high res

I actually wish I had put more detail into the room design, blank walls are getting pretty dull!

Charity Case Ch5:Pg7

(I have no idea how music works aaa)

Howl's Moving Castle screencap redraw

I ended up going back in at the end and redoing some of Sophies face with a bigger brush, because she felt too detailed in comparison to the rest.
I didn't colour pick any of this, which is why it's so much brighter! And obviously my focus on detail is super loose, mostly I just wanted to do something fast and fun tonight ...

Sketches- January 2020

A lot of my time has gone into the hermit and hiker planning and concepting this month, along with commissions, so it's a small one! (along with me releasing more stuff publicly)

Rock Tier Sketches- January 2020

A surprising amount this month, considering how busy I've been!

[Hello from 2023, the rest of the images are in the pdf's! I've gone through and added everything I have into the monthly posts, but it's getting pretty spotty and awkward to find files, so I'm stopping here!]

Charity Case Ch5:Pg6 process & high res

It's nice getting familiar enough with the characters that the sketches can be so loose. At first it felt like if I didn't have a really detailed sketch I'd get the likeness wrong. (then again, I did mess up the sleeve continuity, so maybe I SHOULD have sketched better)
