TCO: Part 4 Drafts #2

Thank GOD I got to use one of the sketches from "The Hunt." That would have been such a waste. Okay, that's it for tonight I promise. Tomorrow will be Part 2 updates!

TCO: Part 4 Sketch "Towering"

I sketched this out very quickly, so a bit sloppy. I'm thinking I want Part 4 to evolve into a different style entirely. Something that keeps coming to mind is Tartakovsky's "Primal." It's just so chaotic and the clean, subtle line work of Part 1 just won't work for this. Still tinkering.

Back to business

Hey folks! Thank you SO much for helping with the launch of TCO Part 1. Y'all are fucking champions. It went very well! I'm now laying everything out for Part 2, scrapping panels, setting the tone for Part 3, and figuring out what the timeline will be for the second drop.

I'll get the basic stuff on that done today, b...

"The Chosen One" Part 1: HUNT [FULL]

So many challenges with just these four pages. I think part 2 will go a lot smoother now that I have a feel for the style. That final panel was unexpectedly a doozy! 

THIS GOES UP ON REDDIT TOMORROW MORNING AT 6 AM CST. Everywhere else around 8 am. It goes without saying I cannot afford for this comic to bomb. Bre...

This lovely halo of light framing Ellie and Vivian as provided by a fucking Tesla.

While it is a particularly egregious detail, we have a lot of Teslas, and I'm not going to exclude their presence simply because the company is owned by a giant, inept dope. I understand if you want to unsubscribe. I won't take it personally. 

Oaks on Esplanade Ave. Panel WIP

Wanted to document this panel at the midway point here. It's going to be spectacular. 

Lest we forget...

Because I am constantly forgetting this comic ever happened until some snarky Redditor brings it up. 

Anyhow, just something basic to marvel at until I blow y'all's fucking minds this weekend. Updates VERY soon. 

"The Chosen One" Dates

I really, REALLY hope I make it through this one y'all, my lord. 

Comic Bomb Episode 3: TOMORROW

Both the comic and video premiers tomorrow at 12 EST, please give this a boost when y'all spot it! It's a big one, and I feel like I kind of dropped the ball promoting the episode with Red Dot. I've been out of it.

Also, this comic will update later, I fudged the file size and we all ended up with big fat line art, ha. ...

"Rock Bottom"

I should make an abstract art book just for my backgrounds and why they are the way that they are. 

This is a real gem... 

My beautiful patrons when The Chosen One sketches dropped.

It's important to have fun on occasion. A shitpost for you all.

Have I mentioned how much I adore you guys? By far the best audience of all of the platforms.

TCO Page 3 Ellie Sketches & Final Side by Side

Just posting as something interesting to look at before pages 4-5 arrive. 

One thing I learned from "Thrill Seeker" was that the sketches need to be 100% solid and representative of where the line art will settle, done through at least 3 layers. My sketches are now practically the most involved part of the process,...

"The Chosen One" Page 3 [COMPLETE]

Scariest page I've ever drawn. Imagine you're stumbling around in public bleeding all over yourself and you turn around and your crush is standing RIGHT THERE. 

General Update

Hey all,

I am still in Florida just outside of the path of this year's 'I' name hurricane, and I do not expect any kind of disruption from this. Still so much I am juggling with for my grandmother who just had to be transferred a second time for even more involved care, so it's been tricky making time to sit down and ...

"Goodness!"

Comic Cover Comm [WIP]

As you all know, I am desperately behind on commissions, they are happening at the same time as "The Chosen One," the Comic Bomb videos, and various other projects. No, I'm not really sleeping much, but gotta keep the lights on!

This will be a cover for an indie comic that the client gave me permission to share progres...

This page is going to be WILD.

I'm getting towards the end of page 3 and mapping things out for the next 3, and I revisited the sketches from a few weeks back and I can already tell even I'm not ready for this shit, and I'm the queen of "y'all ain't ready hyuck hyuck."

"The Chosen One" Ellie Middle Stage Page 3 Timelapse

HD important. 

Y'all aren't going to want to miss the next timelapse post.

BY FAR the most interesting one I've recorded. Lines, colors, and partial background all coming together at the same time.

"The Chosen One" Page 2 [COMPLETE]

Time to pick up the pace.

"The stories Sammy would tell..." [Sketch]

A heavy update

This has been a very strange and difficult year for a variety of reasons, and many things are coming to a head all at once in my personal life, making the future uncertain for me. Much of this involves major issues with my mental and physical health that I am diligently working on, my grandmother, my closest family member suf...

Ellie Castello is so damn cool.

And she has no idea because she has no reflection. 

Back to regularly scheduled programming, kids. I know I said I wanted to wait to finish pages 2 and 3 before an update, but couldn't resist dropping a panel. The centipede pages will take the longest which I expected. Soon! 

"No Sympathy" with Ellen [COMPLETE]

Please give this a boost on reddit! It has just gone up. :)

TCO Pages 2-3 nearly complete. A short intermission...

She is aware this is happening, not to worry, lol.

The two most dangerous women this side of the Mississippi.
