This is the final design for the new preorder postcard. The first 100 people who order G&G volume 2 will get one :)
Henry and Molle this time. It was Piet and Tim on the first postcard:

Here is the final cover for volume 2! (Sorry about the missing translation; my translator is currently busy. ... Anders? haha my joker)

Now that you know about them from the storyboard: here are Henry (12/13) and Robert (13/14).
I'm thinking about doing a bonus short comic about how they met and making it available for the $5-patrons. I wanted to put it in the printed volume 2, but there's not enough time to finish it before it goes to print.
Th...
Maybe you remember them from last years' posts.
Last week I wrote 13 pages of finished script for it, maybe it's going to be the short comic I've been wanting to do this year. It's a compact story with a difficult topic. I hope I can do it justice.
Sad boys all over. (I have to draw an animal all comic long thoug...
2019-02-27 16:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostJulian is a bit older here. This probably wouldn't be a healthy thing. But neither are Satoshi/Phil, Julian/Phil, Piet/Linus.
Some of these couples can be taken more seriously, but Satoshi and Julian doesn't go anywhere since I fail building a strong bond between them. So I'll put this in the archives. (even thoug...

(Marlon is still straight, haha)
Two more new dudes I had in mind this morning. *cough (They keep getting older, it's weird.)
Rant:
I'm tired of having the sketches scheduled, but I don't want to spam randomly and I also don't want to put everything out on Twitter etc. right after I drew it. It's also nice to actually have several posts sc...
Also these. Anton+little brother of Raphael (Mika).
NOW I'M GONNA LEAVE YOU ALONE. Sorry for the spam. Gnight.

EDIT: Added the translation under each page!
Please bear with me; I won't schedule todays work :D Today was a good day. I had some free time and was pretty overwhelmed by it. Then I decided to do sample pages for Anton.
Here are the storyboards.2019-02-15 16:34:45 +0000 UTC

Hmmm ... older Julian (around 16) and Adrian (~22).
I like their contrasting personalities. Adrian is rough and insensitive. Julian is an overall delicate, fun and attentive guy.

Here's the short "opening scene" feat. Anton.
(If it reminds you of something, it could be "Love, Simon". I haven't watched the movie, but the script for the opening scene was in the book. The one where he fell from the chair when he was interrupted checking out a hot guy from his window :))

It somehow felt incomplete to leave those pictures out on Patreon. I was hyped about this new thing and posted all of them on Twitter earlier.
I reaaaally wanted new characters because I was tired of thinking about the same characters over and over again. As always, I don't know if they'll stay. New characters often get...

Hello, hello, hello,
for the final pages of G&G chapter 4 - would you prefer single page/daily posts or more pages at once/~weekly updates here?
Did the single storyboard pages felt spammy? Or was it a nice routine? Just checking how you like it best :)
The final pages will be available for the $5-tier as ...
WHOOP! 58 colored pages are done. I sent the last couple of pages to my translator this morning.
I started storyboarding this chapter in september 2018, so it took ~5 months to finish it. There were some breaks for jobs inbetween, so maybe 3 months? I don't have the exact time recording because I was trying different ...
I don't think I've shown her before? If I have, please ignore this post.
This is Johanna, Matheas roommate.
She doesn't play a role in GG, but she exists, haha. She's tall, quiet and always sleepy. The ice queen kind of girl. They get along ok.
She's either the same age as Thea or a little older. I imagine her ...
2019-01-31 17:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostAnders was so kind as to translate the text with hopeless Jens, stubborn Piet, hyper Levi and strict Alexandra. Thank you!

The lineart is finished, yay! (Not counting the cover+mini cover)
Lines: 100%
Flats: 57%
Shadows/Speechbubbles/Text: 45%

Ok, here is something different. This is one the few (spoiler free) texts I dare to show you. It's in German only, I'm very sorry!
It's about Piet and Levi as kids, or rather about their dad Jens (+mom Alexandra), referring to the bathroom sketch I posted earlier (even though they're not as happy in the text). It s...
These are from december when I tried to draw something every morning. I wanted to finish both, but got stuck.
1. Piet feeling alone at a party even though surrounded by people he likes (giggling Thea and Felix on the right)
2. Piet and Levi as kids taking a bath. The good old times when they got along. Piet is the...

1. Piet (left) + Levi (right)
2. Tom + Levi

3. Neo + Levi

Last weekend I played around with a bold pencil brush from Kyle T. Webster. I love this flat style very much and wished I could use it more.
Enjoy some Piets (mostly older).

Something for the drawing folks of you!
I started doing studies more regularely in december and was quite impressed of how many drawings are created in half an hour daily.
After a few sessions of warmups I tried to work on the flow and rhythm of gestures. But it's hard to combine it with my own drawings. It's e...
Remember Leon, the long haired foresters' son? When I was going on a wintery walk with my family, we passed by our foresters' house which reminded me of Leon.
I still don't know what I want to do with him. I have an identity focussed theme in mind, but it's totally open.

Things are going pretty well! (Even if I still feel like being too slow, lol.)
Only 21 pages left to line *_*
When the lined pages come back from the flatter, finishing them with shadows and speechbubbles is the most fun part of it all and is done very quickly.
Storyboarding and lineart is the most stressful/exha...
Happy new year to all of you!
Thanks to you, I feel like my personal work can build a base of regular income even more in the future. With the consistent $200+, I can pay a flatter for the G&G pages and that takes a great amount of time and effort off me.
Some goals for 2019:

Little Piet using dads PC (is he allowed to?) while dad fell asleep with little Levi on his chest.
Piets dad (Jens) is growing on me lately ... he's a coward and workaholic and leaves all the work to his wife, but he has a charming and sweet side. A bit too soft overall (but that's what I fall for easily ... help).
