Hi everyone,
Sorry for the late notice, but I'm moving tonight's 9pm live-write to 11pm EST instead so I can hurry home and eat before settling down to spin some words for y'all. I really hope to see you there!
I'm pretty sure this is the only comic in the world with a paraplegic Hulking cordyceps-werewolf battle nun. Accept no imitations, y'all!

Dear readers, what is YOUR fav thing about SC? And if you ...

I'm excited for both the next page and the next MM. They're really tied together. <3

This is one homage that probably won't ever be in the comic, lol.

On the bright side, the medicine for the pup seems to be working! Yaaay~

I've got a long way to go, so I'm inking as fast as I can!
I lost a lot of time because our puppy got sick and started having diarrhea constantly. :'( We took her to the vet this morning and got her checked out and she's gonna be fine. We just gotta wait it out and give her some medic...
2016-08-12 15:02:56 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
I'm gonna be doing a live-write tonight in about an hour at 10pm EST! I really hope to see you there! It's gonna be a lot of fun, not to mention a continuation of last night's live-write, which you can read here:
Hi everyone!

Bloody Mary has some really unusual proportions which take me some getting used to when drawing her in action. There are some doodles I did which I may or may not eventually clean up for use on a comic panel somewhere.

Here are some scrapped versions of the latest page. I thought I'd use the RBG displacement here, but it ended up making the composition look more muddy than I wanted. On the final version (which you can see on the site!) I opted to just go with a background gradient rather than add too many ex...

Don't forget: there's a live-write tonight at 10pm EST! When the clock strikes the hour, head over to the doc linked below and watch me write!

Here's a little process gif of how I started tightening the sketch for the upcoming page. I went through a couple loose thumbnails (only one of which was included at the start of the gif... the rest were probably too loose to be recognizable by anyone but me!) and then I picked one I liked and...

Here's the finished page, with text removed so you can better see the image. I think I tend to overdo it with way too many separate shading/highlight/effect layers, but that's why I store all the pages on Dropbox so they don't eat up all my HD space. :')
I added separate layers for little th...

I recently learned how to do this, and it's super easy! Useful for scenes that need an extra "OOMPH" of visual drama-- such a fight or a transformation, for example. Google will probably have better tutorials than I can make on it, but if you search "Photoshop RGB Split Effect" there are lots ...

I fixed a few errors I noticed along the way, like Marguerie's hands missing from her bag in the 3rd panel. (Oops!) After this, it's time to add lighting effects!

Here are the finished inks! I forgot to mention earlier, I draw all the sketching in Photoshop, and do the inks in Manga Studio, then I bring the inks back into Photoshop to color. Technically, I think I could do the entire process in Manga Studio... but I'm a slave to habit, and I know ...

I forgot to post this last night as I finished it, but here is the detailed sketch! I usually sketch in two parts: the super loose thumbnail, and then this final sketch to iron out details. But even so, I often leave certain details until the inking stage. (Coming up next!)

I sketch pretty roughly when I'm just putting down ideas for the page layout.Here's the thumbnails for the next page... can you tell what's going on? ;)

I added a couple shadow layers, a highlight layer, a light source gradient layer, and a very super faint texture layer to unify the piece. Hope you liked seeing this process! What do you think? Should I do this more often? Let me know in the comments! (This page will be posted as soon as...

At this stage I flat out all the base colors. Next comes lighting effects!

For the past several updates I've changed the MM style a little. Instead of outlining each shape in a different color (SUPER time consuming!) I instead draw it all with a warm brown and then add colors with a "multiply" setting in Photoshop. The colors all look unified, and it's a lot less tim...

Hey all! Thanks so much for supporting Sister Claire. As thanks, I wanted to show you the page a bit earlier than everyone else! Hope you've had a great weekend. <3
