The Kibble Has Turned

I don’t usually take suggestions in the comments, but a good idea is a good idea. I looked at several different toy breeds before settling on Angela’s dog design. This was also good practice as my ProCreate journey continues. I’ve figured out how to duplicate layers. This is helpful since all of my drawings prior to thi...

Reggie

The star of Twelve Forever. I’ve watched a few episodes, and while I don’t love it, I appreciate what they’re going for, and I like the aesthetic. It’s a real “childhood notebook doodles come to life” sort of thing. When I was coloring this, it struck me that this character was almost certainly d...

Vay Kay

It’s official! I will not be involved with the world of retail custom framing for two glorious weeks! What will I do with my summer? Ummm...

I have plans other than the one pictured here, including two comic-related appearances, visiting friends and family, and maybe some third thing? I’ll probably check out the new...

Kittifred Pawle

Ending a short series without resolution and forcing puns: my two passions!

Wi-NYA-fred

Win gets turned into a cat for reasons.

Jo the Hypnette (line art)

Wheee more digital inking! You can see the colored version here:

Snap Mishap

You gotta watch where you snap on a rubber-bandy cartoon corset!

Chelsea’s Refresher (lines)

The line art to my most recent commission. The great thing about going digital is that I can easily make changes after inking. You migh notice some changes in facial expressions between this and the final. The not so great thing is that I accidentally started inking on my pencil layer and not the ink one. By the time I notice...

Superball Daisy

Just thinking about the resurgence of both the Superball from Super Mario Land via Super Mario Maker 2 and overall shorts.

SNAP 2 It

That corset is at it again! (And with a more age-appropriate wearer.)

Oh SNAP

I had an idea in my head involving Cindy Ella, the OC of one Joey Waggoner. This was mostly practice for making sequential art in ProCreate. The results are a resounding maybe. I found out that as far as coloring goes, I’ve been spoiled by swatches. They probably exist in ProCreate, but I haven’t looked hard enough yet. A...

Chelsea

Quick digital doodle of AgentC-24’s OC Chelsea for an upcoming commission. I’ve done a few drawings and sequences with her, but this will be the first in her iconic dance costume.

My One and Yuki-Only (color)

This my first attempt at coloring an epilogue in ProCreate! This will potentially save me the long process of scanning on my oooold desktop, saving to a flash drive, transferring to my laptop, and coloring in Photoshop. For this, I just took a picture, played with curves until it was bright enough, and made a Multiply layer o...

Yuki-Ongela (cured)

Here’s a better view of Angela’s yuki-onna epilogue design. I’m still trying to find the best way to ink in ProCreate. On paper, I tend to go back and forth over my lines a lot, so I find that digital inking picks up a lot of the small, wiggly movements of my hand. See Angela’s left leg for a prime example.

My One and Yuki-Only

In this epilogue, George climbs Underborough’s tallest mountain to find Angela, not realizing that she is the yuki-onna terrorizing hikers. He professes his true feelings for her, breaking the curse. Yet she is still... Japanese now? Well, if you ignore the frozen bodies, it’s a happy ending. They’ll get better.

Summer Babe

I took the wise suggestion to draw the lovely Meg on my new digital device! I really should start timing myself when I do these, but this couldn’t have taken more than 30 minutes. It’s not exactly what I’d call a finished drawing. Her arm kinda ends at the wrist, and I didn’t clean as much of the pencil lines that I s...

Proper ProCreate Post

More practice with ProCreate. Here’s a “classic” Winifred with separate layers for the sketch, inks, color, and background. I really need to get used to pressure sensitivity, as I’ve been controlling opacity with keyboard commands in Photoshop for so long. Happy with the results so far, though!

If you have anyth...

Total Boomer Move

Yes, I took a photo of a device with another device. But I finally broke down and got an iPad/pencil/ProCreate. Once I figure this thing out, I should be able to post some digital art! I don’t know if this will mean more color, or a different posting schedule, or even different tiers. I’m still just trying to find ProCrea...

Bunnymorphosis

I’m playing Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night... well, I’ve been playing it. I kinda want to wait for the performance patch on the Switch version before I finish playing it. Anyway, one of the sou— shards results in a bunnygirl transformation, and all I can say is thank you IGA, you delightful...

Super Mario Mucker

I want to make courses, but I don’t want to paw the screen of my Switch with my gross oily phalanges.

Yes I can get a capacitive stylus, but that’s not a funny drawing. Plus, I though I had like a zillion pens with a stylus tip on the cap, and now that I need one, they’re nowhere to be found! I refuse to go out of...

Chessifred

The fusion of Chess and Winifred, as seen here:

https://www.deviantart.com/chessshire/art/Angela-meet-Chess-part-2-805853299

Brow Beaten, p5

If you can’t browbeat ‘em, join ‘em.

Brow Beaten, p4

Bel Brimston: optimism or adaptable vanity?

Brow Beaten, p3

Zap! The curse has spread to Shelley, and science is no match for it!

Brow Beaten, p2

Looks like the oversized, themed eyebrow curse has spread to Winifred. And the curse of trying to write dialogue in ink in a single pass has spread to me. Honestly, “this?” Should’ve used the plural. Even a unibrow is still two eyebrows. The connecting hair doesn’t suddenly make it a single muscle. But still, batbrows...

Brow Beaten, p.1

Uh-oh, looks like an attempted simplification of a mundane task via magic, in this case the tweezing of eyebrows, has drastically backfired. And judging by Angela’s response, this accident may have rippled outwards. But to whom?

Chess Meets Angela (complete)

Here's all three pages in color, downloadable for your perusal, and posted before I put it on DeviantArt. This isn't the end of this saga, but the rest will have to wait until I'm done with Underburbs #19. Greyscale duties kinda fell into my lap this week, so I'm in crunch time. More on that later. Or not. I dunno how "inside...

Chess Meets Angela, p3

Anyone who's seen Chesshire88's work will understand Angela's reaction to Chess' incredibly sordid memories.

The color version of this will reveal that Chess and Angela switch "forms" instead of simply age. Chess will have Angela's green skin and her freckles will also turn blue, like Angela's cheek spots. Angela will a...

Chess Meets Angela, p2

Whoops, wouldn't you know it? The one spell Angela manages to do on command and under pressure turns out to be a doozy! And as we all know, when it comes to spell names, you can't go wrong with straight up Latin. I was looking for something that would loosely translate to "age exchange," and I was pleased to find tha...

Chess Meets Angela, p1

Once again, my plans to show more step-by-step artistic process lose way to my unexpected steamrolling of a multi-page comic. Here we see popular NSFW OC Chess picnicking in Underborough when she spies a passing young witch.

I might change some of the text in that fourth panel. I don't like Angela saying "only been" twi...
