Chapter 9 / Page 1 pencils >:)

I've been jumping around chronologically in the chapter 9 pencils while juggling a few side-projects!! BUT finally we locked the opening scene thumbnails so I get to draw a fun flashback of Cameron being bullied :) :) :) :) Please enjoy ~

HOWEVER ALSO!!! The game Ananth and I have been working on since 2019 just shared ...

Bad Kitty Percy

I've been TRYING to get into the habit of doodling at the end of a workday, granted I have enough time for it??? Let's see if I can keep it up!

I've been toying around with the idea of just pairing up Dragon Leeds (from the new years art - basically just Regular Leeds with horns and scales) with Calico Percy, just to ha...

Kitty Percy

I wanted to draw something as fast and loose as possible after work and peeked at this year's April Fools drawing again (added to the lineup if you missed it!) I think Percy makes a really cute calico cat!!!

Ok I have to go to a picnic!! Have a great weekend!!! 🌟

We're still moving! (to a new online shop)

Hiii I've been enjoying making a bunch of promotional doodles for the Johnny Wander moving sale, here's a preview of what I'll post tomorrow!

The sale continues!! I think it'll continue until the beginning of June and then we're shutting down the shop for the rest of the summer and moving all our inventory to the new p...

The Empty God

Occasionally I like to take breaks and mess around with drawing Walking Gods characters! Thinking about them is like a personal hobby of mine. I poked at this over a few days after thinking about WORLDBUILDING too hard.

This is a bit of a thought experiment, but it's more or less Dhio! Mostly! You might remember him as ...

Elden Ring DLC is coming!!

--And it finally gave us the kick we needed to compile Percy's Elden Ring zine! 🎉🎉🎉Here's the front & back cover!! 🎉🎉🎉 (and the front cover without text!)

The Indesign document isn't fully polished yet, but at the very least I've finished all the extra art and interstitials it...

WE'RE MOVING!! (to a new online shop)

We're moving to a new online store later this year and have to pack up shop at the current place! We're having a big sale on a bunch of stuff including our autobio books, artbooks, prints, apparel, and the Maw Plush!!!

AND ALSO OUR...

I'm going to stream this Thursday!

OK I'm setting this up in advance! I'll be streaming a little intro to Clip Studio this upcoming Thursday at 1:30PM EST (10:30AM PST)! It will be on my twitch channel at twitch.tv/aidosaur!

I will NOT have a lesson plan, we'll b...

happy birthday to meee

for my birthday I gifted myself a fun drawing of my OCs fighting to death 🥰

This North and Dhio! You may have seen them before, I've been drawing them for like 20 years lol

I think re-reading all of Dungeon Meshi in preparation for the anime and also watching the anime has been making me ruminate on the inheren...

we're still playing bg3 (14)

THIS TITLE IS A LIE, we actually fizzled out in the middle of our second Baldurs Gate 3 playthrough pretty soon after we got to act 3 U___U Sorry Dark Urge Chiaki! We'll be reunited some day! I'm too enamored playing with Dragons Dogma Leeds right now!

ANYWAY this is a direct continuation of part 13, the one where Karla...

BARBAROUS Chapter 9 is under way!!!!

Ananth and I are both working on thumbnailing chapter 9 RIGHT NOW!!! This part has been becoming more and more fun as we pass files back and forth and mess with each other's layouts like dolls in a dollhouse. Ananth hasn't really drawn a whole lot since he was a kid but he DOES have a really exceptional eye for dynamic layout...

The winner of the outfit poll is...

CALBRAITH! By 2% over Winter!!! Thank you so much to the 108 people who voted! It felt fitting to draw Alexander in Alexander McQueen! I hope Winter gets her time in the sun, but I was really happy that those two were the top contenders. I'll try to pick more unusual menswear in the future for these polls! (Also I'm open to s...

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS LOL

WOW I completely wound up doing this one by the seat of my pants, we came up with this idea THIS MORNING after realizing what today was, and then I was stuck out of the house for several hours LOL

ANYWAY HELLO, welcome to our new 100% serious incarnation of BARBAROUS!!! I grew up in the furry art internet so this was a ...

POLL: WHO SHOULD WEAR THIS!

I was looking at some old Alexander McQueen runway pics and I wanted to draw something with BIG SHAPES and CLASHING PATTERNS!!!!

Here's the last winner! ✨ (So Hyewon and Cameron are exempt from this round)

oh no we started playing dragons dogma 2

OH NO finally a game where Ananth and I get to play as Percy with Leeds in tow!!!!! (player character Percy with helper npc Leeds)

We've barely started the game, but it's been really fun to run around with a gigantic handsome Leeds Catman. I'm really exceptionally bad at combat in this game but it's been really fun to h...

Chapter 8 / Page 23 breakdowns

Yay, this was such a fun straight-forward shoujo page! Lots of tall panels with an emphasis on expression and nice amounts of negative space for introspective dialogue. No backgrounds, just bokeh (supplied by Hyewon). 

It was really fun to do Percy's slow descent into "maybe I AM evil?" Who knows, maybe there will ...

Happy (belated) Year of the Dragon!

Why did it take so long for me to finish this illustration, it's already March?

To my credit, dragons should be celebrated every day.

Thank you again to the folks who came and hung out while I inked this! I'm kind of relieved I didn't do any coloring on stream because for some reason I did like 4 color pa...

we're still playing bg3 (13)

Thank you to everyone who came to the stream yesterday!!! I'll try to do them more frequently, it was super fun!

During the stream I was reminded that I actually have a few more of these Baldur's Gate 3 comics that I haven't shared yet! So here we goooo

One of my favorite things about running around with Karlach i...

It's a leap day! I'm gonna stream!

It's finally time, I'm gonna ink that Year of the Dragon illustration!!! I'm gonna jump on Twitch around 4:45 PM EST, just after Rook gets fed because he's yowling at me a lot right now. 🙂💦

See you soon!

...

I started playing Harvest Moon 64!!

Nintendo finally put HM64 onto the Switch for anyone who has a Nintendo Online membership! (it's in the N64 library) I've been really surprised over how much I've been enjoying it! (note: I've been using an off-brand N64 controller for switch which I really recommend)

I wanted to try and emulate the proportions and mark...

HAPPY VALENTINES 2024!

Hi everyone, Happy Valentines Day from BARBAROUS!!! 💖💕✨

I had to put a hold on both doing the Year of the Dragon AND the livestream just because of the structure of the week so far - unfortunately having two people working full-time in one room means I can't do any sort of livestreaming when either of us has any...

HAPPY YEAR OF THE DRAGON!!

WOOHOO, an excuse to draw my characters as dragons???? That's just a regular day, but it's nice to have it formalized. :)

Unfortunately I got completely waylaid by a slightly-on-fire freelance project and I wasn't able to finish this. I'd like to do it on stream if I can, it's been a minute!! Maybe next week?

In t...

Chapter 8 / Page 22 breakdowns

YAY, it's the WE SHOULD KILL HIM page!! (this one was thumbnailed by Ananth! Thank you Ananth!)

This is supposed to be the turn in chapter 8 where it's like, "RIP Cameron, your ex girlfriend has stolen your girlfriend." Hyewon has learned about social impropriety and can't be normal about it....

Percy & Leeds outfit turnaround

This is for a little side-project but I thought the lineart was cute enough that I should give it a color! I'm usually not a fan of greens but I think the lime green top really compliments the purple-representing-brown I like to use for Percy's hair. HMM...

Anyway i love making paper dolls whee yay yay

we're still playing bg3 (12)

OH NO I'm back posting these now that it's the new year!!! Hello!!!

The Wavemother Robe wound up being my favorite piece of armor in Baldur's Gate lol. Not because it's especially useful in a fight, but because it's a slinky evening dress that does tick healing when a character stands in water. So if you have a minute o...

The winner is .... Hyewon!

With a whopping 34%, the winner of the new outfit poll is HYEWON!!! Percy and Cameron tied in a two-way second place at 17%. Thank you to everyone who voted for Leeds, he still came in a respectable third place at 15%. Good hustle, everyone. 🏆

I was super happy to see a full 100 people voted in this poll!!! Thank you...

POLL: who should wear this!

It's that time again!!!! I'm going to pick an outfit and everyone gets to choose who wears it! I wanna draw a bodysuit!!!!!!!

Here's the winners of the previous outfit polls if you're new!
