Now that the main cast has been fully introduced, who is your favorite of the four? The winner will get some extra art attention in the coming months.
(I apparently screwed up the poll and it lets you vote for multiple characters and now it's too late to change it. Go ahead and ...

A glimpse of what life in Kuserra looks like for some of its denizens. This is likely one of the wealthier districts.

I want to call special attention to that roof in the middle of this shot with the chair and the drying rack, because it took me way longer than it deserved for when it's ultimately just an invisible, blurry mess of pixels after being scaled down. I've tried to include a number of things in ...

Figured I'd wrap up the year with a little bit of art comparison. The Maxes on top are from ~January-March 2020. The Max on bottom is from much closer to the end of the year.
*GASP* Is that final Max from a Patreon Early Access page that hasn't been released to the public yet? ACK! D...
Alrighty! Finally back to digital drawing! But since there's a buncha characters I have to draw for Page 88, needed to do some warm-up first.
So I sketched out the main cast! Page 88 is still planned for posting on the 6th!
Happy New Years everyone! I gotta say...

Um... so... y'all know that super rough preview I posted last week? It became this. I've been working on this technique for awhile now and I'm curious to see how far it can carry me. I've still got some perspective woes, particularly, I'm noticing now, when characters are also v...

Posting this a bit early because we're going to be driving all day tomorrow and I probably won't be able to get a sketch up. Oh! And in case you missed the Twitter/Telegram announcement, next comic will be going up on the 6th of January. It's gonna round out Chapter 5, so I'm going to take the ex...

Chapter 5 was supposed to continue for a few more pages yet, but, thinking on it a bit more, it's already starting to get a little too long and that last page was a great place to end the chapter on. Couple that with my recent focus on improving how I do backgrounds, I think I want to take ...

Just some setting practice today. Gods know I need it.
It's really interesting to me to think of a place like Kuserra, where everywhere you look there's supposed to be this haunting reminder of the people that came before. A space like this... whatever purpose it might have once had is los...

Page 87 is coming right along! I should have it done by tomorrow.
I've also been working on some more site art and a reference sheet for Max, since I'm pretty sure at this point his design is finished evolving.
Been thinking a lot lately about where the comic is heading and how ...

Yeesh, where did today go?
Every webcomic I see always has some big image of their whole cast. My cast is small yet, but it's growing, as webcomic casts are wont to do. Even so, I'm a slow artist, and I rarely have time to diddle around with stuff like this while trying to post weekly, so ...

My backgrounds suck! That's a given. They take me forever and they never look very good when I'm done. I think often (and not fondly) of Page 13, which took me a month to draw, painstakingly trying to add each individual rock. In lieu of today's comic I wanted to try somet...

As you can see, Page 86 still has a lot of work to be done on it. I knew the pace at which I'd be able to generate art would slow down as we got to the end of the year. There's just too many distractions packed in between the end of November and the start of January.
I'm very sl...

So this week I announced that my higher tier patrons will have the ability to provide character concepts for a background character that will live in Kuserra and can sometimes appear in sketches or have cameos in the background. I realized as I was trying to work harder on making my backgrounds l...

And that shop keeper better be careful. The way to Max's heart is... probably through Kiva.

OMG he's so cute lately. This is a preview from Page 85.

This sketch got cut from the page I'm currently working on, but before I decided to go another direction with the panel, I did get it almost to the point where I was about ready to do the final linework. Seemed a shame not to share it -- I'm really happy with how he looks lately.

Backgrounds! So many backgrounds! And other stuff! I dunno, I wanna say a ton of things, I'm really happy with how this page turned out.
Kiva's face might be due for some minor updates. While I've really improved on drawing CUTE characters like Riley and Max, I need ...

I just find something amusing about Max stealing Kiva's hoodie and running off with it. I've also been wanting to practice drawing clothes and cloths more. And I've seen a fair few characters drawn in a pose like this so I decided to try my hand at it and make it my friday "Sketch"! 2020-11-13 22:38:00 +0000 UTC View Post
