Was working on the background for the next page today and realized this was also the first background I'd made for Tamberlane ever. So I thought it might be nice to show exactly how much better i've gotten since early 2016 :3
You can see I've got a much better handle on texture, structure, and light. I also have MUCH m...

Wow, Tess is in a really good mood, all things considered!

Part of the next big illustration I want to make involves my husband's character, Jason (yes, this is the character that Jason from Tamberlane came from!), who generally wears a leather jacket. So one of my study topics is rendering a leather jacket!
Today's challenge was to find some references with different kind of l...

Oops! Belfry when they say rise and shine, I think they usually mean in the morning...
PS if you, like me, are annoyed at the fact that Patreon upscales images that are too small and therefore Tamberlane pages are blurry, I recommend clicking on the image and full-viewing it so it's crisp the way it's meant to be >:(...

Something CAN go right in this comic, I promise!
Thanks to Jonas for your cameo!
A little change in scenery! And a very happy Tess. Seems they're excited to house Tamberlane when she's out of the hospital!
Thank you, Izzy, for inking this one!

My husband and I started a new universe for one of our RP character pairs recently (Amber and Jason, for those in the know) and I decided I wanted to do a lovely painting of them. Amber is a dryad and Jason is... I don't know yet! A bad boy, I guess!
So first things first, I need to break down everything I want to study...

I was working on the next page and it occurred to me that I know a quick little tip that makes all the difference!
Hey artists, have you ever been drawing a scene, and some characters are closer to the camera than others, and for some reason no matter how you draw it, it looks like someone is really short or small or so...

Just a heads up that tomorrow at 11pm PST is the deadline to upgrade to $25+ tiers if you want to get the free physical postcard mailed to you! Here's the WIP, 90% done at this point; I'll also be releasing it to that tier as a desktop wallpaper!
Either way, thanks for your support, your interest, and your enthusiasm! 2024-04-08 23:13:57 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey y'all! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news -- I have to put the free TfT code on hold while I figure out some bugs with it. Even though I marked it to one use per customer, some folks were figuring out how to get around that restriction and getting multiple TfTs for free. Which, as much as I'd like to offer that, I DO have...

It's Friday and that means I'm having a study day!!! I'm working on a piece for the physical postcard that will be sent out to all patrons who are at the $25 tier on April 9th at 11pm PST! This is a work in progress, but I really enjoy how it's turning out so far! :D

A nice break where things go well for bit!!
I really enjoyed playing with depth of field on this one. I don't often do it because it's a pain in the neck to keep everything separate enough to blur the right things. But when it's worth it, it's worth it!
Thanks Jonas for your cameo!

A bit of a change to this one, all in the 4th panel! For one, the least controversial change would be changing Tamberlane's hands to not be two left hands. Whoops! Sometimes when drawing signs I have a hard time turning hands around in my head. It happens to the best of us.
The main change I want to talk about is to Jon...

Perhaps he has more feelings about his situation than shown earlier. For good reason, of course. Tamberlane does too.

Hubs and I have been together 20 years this year (what the heck!!) and married for 14 years! (Double what the heck!!!) So I wanted to make this cute lil thing for him. c: Thanks to Areg for helping redline the tail wag when I was struggling!!

Back to the hospital! And these two MIA characters, returning to the limelight!
There's a little reference to The Golden Compass on Jonas's book, because it's been a huge influence in my work and I thought it would be fun to put a lil easter egg in c:
Thank you Jonas for your cameo!
Hey guys! It's finally happened! The Patreon has done been vamped!

This breathtaking comic book follows the first chapter in the story of Tamberlane, a lost human child in the animal town of Treehollow. In this chapter, teenaged bat Belfry finds a strange creature in Rattleglen Forest and, against opposition from her parents, decides to adopt her. Fix yourself a nice cup of tea, lose yourself i...

For the first time, I managed to shove some time aside and participate in the Foxglove Comics Discord banner event! Our theme this Spring was bees so of course I had to do the Oprah Bees gif.
