Charity Case Ch4:Pg24

I keep putting food in every scene ;;; Its very important to the plot ¬_¬

Sketches- October 2019

A surprisingly chunky one this month! Thanks for the support as always <3

Rock Tier Sketches- October 2019

Here's this months spicy content :>, thanks for the support! There are so many of you now :'O <3

Charity Case Ch4:Pg23 process & high res

I can''t think of anything insightful to say ahaha! I left it quite plain in the bg here, both to emphasise the characters and also because my wrist is a little tired ;).

Charity Case Ch4:Pg23

:>
that's Almost a hug right?

Charity Case Ch4:Pg22 process & high res

trying to capture the mood after a gig is finished! People making their way home, packing up etc. I wanted to spend a little more time on the crowd again, since they've been pretty blobby in the last pages! 

Charity Case Ch4:Pg22

double update comin'!

Charity Case Ch4:Pg21 Process & hi-res

 Here's the lyrics! I tried to make this one more personal to Julien.

Trying to hold it together

You’re pulling apart at the seams

This pace is too fast to handle

Dying to keep sight of your dreams

[cut verse! I don't hate it, but it''s not as strong, and the gig has been lo...

Charity Case Ch4:Pg21

drawing tiny characters is so fun :'O

marnie is just-

: ]

Charity Case Ch4:Pg20 Process & hi-res

I love drawing characters after they've been in brain-stew phase for so long, it feels like they evolve in my head, whereas Roman and Marnie were both used straight away and their designs are only just now feeling solid and easy to draw consistently!

With any luck I'll get another page out today, I've had two days of my...

Charity Case Ch4:Pg20

Finally a new character!
Alma is agender and uses they/them pronouns <3.

Rose tinted p6 process

This ended up being so stretched out in the end, though it was definitely a good style experiment!

Rose Tinted Final Page + earlier pages edited [HP Charity Case AU]

I realised that Juliens glasses mysteriously disappeared in the last two pages, so I popped them back on again in these edited versions. I figured it would be good to post it all together, since it's been made over Such a long time!

Charity Case Ch4:Pg19 Process & hi-res

Made myself do a proper background for this page! I feel like it was losing grounding, with all the close ups and abstract stuff!

Also, you've all seen this character before in the concepts :3c, I'm pretty excited for them

Charity Case Ch4:Pg19

:> a new face?

Charity Case Ch4:Pg18 Process & hi-res

I wanted to make it feel more montage-y here, so I used the circles and faded the lyrics out a little! I want it to seem like he sings more than one song, since that's something that bothers me about other gigs in comics/media! One song left after this :>.

Charity Case Ch4:Pg18

I quite like this song hehe. I'm not a songwriter, but it's fun trying to come up with something semi-convincingly real. 

Charity Case Ch4:Pg17 Process & hi-res

Originally I wanted the spotlight to hit the crowd directly, following a line from the panel above, but it looked a bit off, so I faded the effect and made a sorta purple circle to draw attention to Roman and Marnie so they weren't lost in the crowd!

Charity Case Ch4:Pg17

I love drawing the flowy music bits, they're so satisfying!

Charity Case Ch4:Pg16 Process & hi-res

Honestly, though I like this page artistically, I think it could have done with another panel of them moving through the crowd! Pacing is probably my weakest point, but hopefully I'll get better in time :')

Charity Case Ch4:Pg16

:3c

Charity Case Ch4:Pg15 Process & hi-res

I think I might come back to these pages in future to neaten up the writing  a little, but for the sake of updating this week I figured I'd let it be! I need to practice some neater handwritten styles :P

Charity Case Ch4:Pg15

hold tight for a triple update!

Inktober Process 2019 Part 2

Again, sorry for the quality!

You can see with the Julien one, I outlined where I wanted the highlights before I filled in the black of the trousers, since the shiny-ness is the most important part of depicting leather!

If you haven't seen, I got a bit bored of drawing people just standing about, so I posted on tw...

Inktober Process 2019 Part 1

There are A Lot of images to post, so I'm splitting it up! (sorry if this is still too many for your laptops/etc)

Also, apologies for the photo quality :S

The next ones are less in depth, but I thought it might be handy to see each step, at least to start out! I tend to do a sketch, then erase it (really...) til I...

October sweater meme (instead of poll!)

 So instead of a poll I wanted to do the old tradition of drawing characters in these-  https://twitter.com/byelacey/status/1177215474922336256  

So if you comment with a number and a character, I'll pick some ...

October sketch poll

Hiya! So while this month is probably going to be a lot of traditional sketches from inktober, I still wanted to do a monthly poll! Last month pokemon AU almost tied with animal crossing, so I thought I'd give it another chance!


($3 patrons should get some wip's from the inktobers tomorrow!)

Pokemon AU would ...

Charity Case Ch4:Pg14 Process & hi-res

It's getting into cheesy music video territory, with the colourful lighting and zooms! I hope it works, it's hard to keep the feeling of energy sometimes, and to me it feels a little flat after staring at it for 3 hours, but I'm hoping it's still there for readers! I actually took out one of the faces from the initial plan, b...

Charity Case Ch4:Pg14

Cheesy lyrics time! I can't really use licensed lyrics, so I've been writing my own! I'm trying to give the impression of one of those hit love songs, cheesy but catchy.
