Sketch WIP for Commission: Lycan153
For flat color sketch commissions like this one, I usually try to keep the sketch a bit cleaner!

2019-09-18 22:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostHere's a preview of an upcoming piece, which will be finished later this week. Currently adding flat colors and will shade tomorrow. :3
2019-09-18 06:56:53 +0000 UTC View PostThe BG for this one took me a while compared to what I'm used to for comics, but it came out great. :3
2019-09-17 22:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostSURPRISE! This post has been made available to all patrons! :D
As you can see, more depth was added to the second page, and Gage was made to be bigger to help add to that feeling of depth! This helps make the tree in the background look ten times the size of the one I drew before. :3
2019-09-16 23:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostOriginally the background in the last panel looked differently! But when the commissioner said he wanted a big tree. he wanted a really, REALLY big tree. XD So I redid it in the sketch phase. You'll see when that's posted in an hour!
2019-09-16 22:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostOnce I had this sketched finished off, I knew this page was going to look awesome. :3
Happy double post day, again!
2019-09-15 23:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostI was worried I wouldn't be able to translate this pose I scribbled out well into sketch form, but it came out way better than this! :D
2019-09-15 22:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostAnd here's the sketch page at full-res!
Happy double post day!
2019-09-14 23:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostThese were the original lines before I tied it down and adjusted a few things! Also no stripes because it was quicker to just add them later.
2019-09-14 22:00:59 +0000 UTC View PostPOW! :3
I know those of you cheering Nes on have been waiting a long time for that. <3
2019-09-13 23:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostAnd here it is at full size! :3 Enjoy! <3
The lighting one this one was pretty challenging, since you can so many different light sources in a bar at night, but I think it turned out well! I even did a few subtle things, like adding some refraction in the martini. :3
The next few days are going to be double pos...
2019-09-13 22:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostAnd as always, here's the color preview/WIP that I always do for paintings to help establish a mood and color palette. :3
2019-09-12 22:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostI'm going to be taking a 2-3 week vacation at the end of November, as I'll be having a friend visit for my birthday! I'll still be "around," since I'll still be at home, but I won't be working my usual hours or doing any commission work.
Little Runt: My goal is to have the firs...
2019-09-12 11:40:15 +0000 UTC View PostI colored in the characters in grey to help show the depth between foreground and background. :3

2019-09-10 22:00:59 +0000 UTC View PostIt's kind of satisfying to tiedown comic pages like this. x3 I moved Gage to be lower down due to him encroaching on the other panel.
2019-09-09 23:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostYou can see how I put more notes on this one. XP
The sketch WIP will be up in an hour!
2019-09-09 22:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostAnd here's the sketch! One small change I made (that wasn't drawing related) was adding a little internal monologue for Nes. I was worried maybe people wouldn't realize why he chose this strategy suddenly (even though it was foreshadowed earlier), so I added it in here just in case.
2019-09-08 22:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostThere were minimal changes to this one. :3 It's kind of fun when that happens, and I can jump straight into sketching!
2019-09-07 22:00:59 +0000 UTC View PostImage #1: What I posted!
Image #2: A version that doesn't have the subtle airbrushing on it. Slaughter preferred the one I posted (of course), but this kind of gives you a little insight into what I do for my cartooning work. Even if you don't ask for airbrush shading on a commission, I almost always add a little bit ju...
2019-09-06 22:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostPage 15 of Little Runt will be out tonight at 6PM CDT for Tier IV+ patrons! It's my favorite page yet, so I can't wait for you guys to see it. :3
Page 14 will also be up on Twitter, DeviantArt and Tumblr sometime this evening, although there's no specific time for those.
2019-09-06 14:31:08 +0000 UTC View PostAlways happy to draw some otters. :3
Also normally I struggle with characters hugging, but this one came out rather easily.
2019-09-05 22:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHere's a preview of H-Nighthawk's next comic page, and a little behind the scenes!
Believe it or not, I use two different colors for eyes and white fur! White fur I tend to make a darker shade of grey compared to brighter white eyes. However, when I have to color in the eyes of a character with white fur, I gotta use a ...
2019-09-05 06:36:17 +0000 UTC View PostAnd here's his D&D character, Benkim, at full size!
2019-09-04 22:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostMain image: The approved sketch for inking! I added some extra dark black lines over top because a lot of the detail was getting obscured.
Image #2: The blue sketch underneath this. The commissioner ended up preferring the chin for this sketch.
Images #3 and #4: O...
2019-09-03 22:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostAnd here's the full thing! About 3500px in length. D:
2019-09-02 22:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostOne new thing I'm going to try this month: sneak peaks and previews at upcoming art for everyone in Tier IV and V. I thought this could be a nice little extra perk for you guys. :3 I can't say how often I'll be doing it, but at least once a week!
Here's a preview of an upcoming painting. I'm sure some of you recognize t...
2019-09-02 04:01:26 +0000 UTC View PostDouble post day!
And here's the refined sketch! I quite like how this turned out. :3 The second image is a version where Gage didn't have any hair. At first I thought he looked better without it, but looking back, it fits him better. :P
2019-09-01 23:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostAs always I outline the drawings in thumbnail form - VERY ROUGH - before I do any detail work just in case changes need to be made. I also made very brief placeholder dialogue, as you can see here. This comic was challenging due to having to summarize a large amount of text into 3-4 pages of comic art. D:
