Sorry I had to postpone it! Meek update going up in an hour or two instead... didn't expect this page to take 20+ hours but here we are T__T
Anyhow, stream tomorrow instead, and as a placeholder here's a pic of my bf's OC walrus. It was his bday last week so I sketched his characters in photoshop ...

Two pages in various stages of completion~
The Mare page is half colored, so will probably have that page up tomorrow and a Meek post on Friday.
Now that I'm looking at it I hate some of these speech bubbles, think I need to redraw a bit, haha :o I am committed to the weird angular sty...

Today's comparison- 2007 vs 2017~
I haven't been deviating too much from the 2007 version because I still agree with a lot of the choices I made at the time. But, I changed the architecture of the fortress a bit. One thing I see talked about in storyboarding tutorials a lot is being aware of spati...

LEVi... he sits on weapons because he doesn't care. He also probably doesn't mind being walked around as long as he gets to talk to someone.
We've made it back to the area that is shown on the chapter 4 cover page, which is full of active volcanics. Readers earlier had some questions about whether...

Just wanted to say thank you all for being part of my Patreon! and that there will be a few (good!) changes coming up soon.
Hello~
You know, I always talk about going to cons, but never about what happened there? Some of you might be convention attendees, convention exhibitors or (like me for the last few years) just people who lurk on the internet trying to find out what goes on at conventions and what it's like. I th...

Hope to see some of you there!

Rebekah ("Bex") Egunsola has always been a quiet but determined woman, slightly awkward but completely committed to her goals. Despite an outwardly friendly exterior, she privately grapples with feelings of selfishness and of being a failure, along with a very strong desire to be known for her good ...

Took a while to get this up, sorry about that! Decided to reformat the style to incorporate a bunch of discrete exercises instead of the more open-ended questions I usually do, just cuz a lot of this stuff requires more small day-to-day practice.
Let me know if you have any ...

I like integrating imagery from poems into the comic... when I'm in an unhealthy mood I tend to fixate on things, and I like to memorize poetry as a way to make the fixation at least a little bit positive? I was going to say practical but I'm not sure how practical it is, haha, other than to have so...

Just an animation of this page as it was completed~
The most important phase of the process is probably the very last step, where you add stupid little hilights and adjust the darkness or lightness of the edges of panels and add some color variation that can't really be noticed during a casual rea...

Another big boy~
This is a meta tutorial, not really about any of the subjects the tutorial covers (perspective, color, objects of people), but more about how to think about those subjects in order to teach yourself about them. I mention here and there that I'm self-taught, but I think that's a we...

Hi guys!!
I like making monthly news updates at arbitrary times of the month. 21st? yeah sure why not. Anyways, onto some news:
Please come by booth EEH53 and say howdy! I won't have any new Patron stickers for this convention, but I do have that secret Kalla sticker with me and I'd love to give you one and be able to thank you for your kind support in person~ Since I don't have any new stickers I'll also toss in a free sign...

I'm sorry about the lack of swift updates recently, it's been a little rough being a one-person customer service rep, warehouse manager, post office employee, comic artist, freelancer, biz developer, secretary... etc...

Thrip asks so many questions!!! it's a plot point, but I mostly made it because I like writing annoying characters :D

A tiny Legschilla mini to kick off the week! The minis are very small, the size of 1/8th of a sheet of paper, and chronicle the awkward life of our favorite half-man half-chinchilla. Check out the Legschilla tag below for the other 4 comics, if you haven't seen them yet~
My aim is to make a n...
The small princess~
Hyla is a good girl, but sort of under the radar for the adults who have other things to worry about at the moment. She likes animals and secretly would like to be an animal doctor when she grows up (her mother advised against telling this to daddy). Her favorite classes are pe...

Haha, so, this is extremely cringey stuff, but it's also my first serious drafting attempt. I guess this could be seen as a gestural sketch in that focuses on emotional impact and direction over draftsmanship or accuracy. Also: it's fucking horrible.
Some editing notes:
I'm just gonna throw this up now since I doubt I'll be finished tonight. Check those amazing background placeholders *shift* *drag* Normally I draw in the background before flatting but I've been taking my productivity where it comes lately.
Sorry for the lag in comics, I've been crazy depressed t...
