Early look for insiders... Cleanup on Mace's jump.
At this stage, I find it hard to 'see' whether it's actually good or not... No areas of value, and spidery little lines- if there's a shape area that has a weird jump, it can be virtually invisible.
Next, coloring the frames, and that...

The latest Prelude!
With our schedule a bit discombobulated the past weeks, we're trying something new as we get back on track- sharing Prelude with Dreamkeepers backers a week early.
So enjoy Vanth rocketing towards her first sticky bump in the road.

Commission from way back, this is the 'safe for work' version. I have personally titled this one "And The Raccoon Girl Is Allowed To Watch" or "What Is Going On With The Rabbit's Tail Obsession?" I love it.

My first time vector-inking. Also the references for me 'n Liz's character in the upcoming 'Vivid show'(working title, the actual title is still a trade secret.)
Practice and color references, may as well kill two birds with one stone!

Been prepping a lot of animation. Drawing rough 'n dirty keyframes in pencil, then timing it out in Clipstudio where I can mess with adding in-betweens or editing frames that don't work well. Then, cleanup on a vector layer, and boom! We should be rolling.
Speaking of rolling...

A signed interior of a dreamkeeper book, a Volume 3. Usually Dave draws Mace, or another dreamkeeper character. This was a special request.

You scared her!
#Animation test, my first done entirely in @clipstudiopaint and I've never had easier in-betweens. Onionskin is glorious. The Dreamkeepers animated short, video game, & the 2020 'Vivid show' just got a big step closer.

Orthographics for David's Slingshot corvette.
Big engines on the side give it a ton of kick- and quad ion-blasters deliver a rapid-fire punch. Heat sink / cooling fins everywhere so we can pour on the action without hesitation during the critical moment.
Lateral jets on the fins give me a lot of maneuverabil...

A commission for Duneari, in this version Ghost, who has been banished with Wisp outside the walls, has created little dolls of him and her brought to life using his power. Wisp is fascinated.

Limited production budget, so we need each set-piece to have maximum versatility. We can move the camera outside for a shot of the ship's upper deck. Liz's navigation perch on the left will be able to mechanically lower.
