A necessary evil, and one I greatly underestimated haha 🙏😭💦
My original draft didn't have this entire section of panels. The castle itself was such an afterthought from the character interactions.
So when it came time to fix my pacing, I knew I had to i...
We get December's Wallpaper EARLY!! The girls are looking real cute sharing gifts with each other 🥰💖
I hope you lovelies stay warm and cozy! 🙏💕
Not too much changed composition-wise from the first draft of the pages here. I just added a previous panel to the Mel and Nola nuzzle just so I could draw them being cute more LOL. I coooould say that I zoomed them out so the Nola and Cas nuzzle could have more emph...

Here it is! We get a lovely view of a quiet, and tranquil moment between Loren and Annie. I feel blessed. 🙏😭💖
I don't know if you've noticed, but I've been trying to go with a specific color for each month! Orange was perfect for that Autumn feel 💖
I hope this gives you ...
Now that the EA update is done I can finally work on this Month's Wallpaper! I hear it's perfect weather to cuddle up next to someone in some parts of the world. 👀✨

I thought it was really cool that I managed to do this alternate focus with the paneling here. The background starts zooming out as we zoom in back into the cart, until we get the full shot of the wall.
I knew I had to pull the focus o...
It was about time I added our sailing Princess Micah to the cast of Chibis that surround you lovelies! You'll see her in the next public episode! (I kind of want a sticker of all the chibis here, they're so cute!! 😭😭 )

I'm inconsistent with my backgrounds and that is entirely intentional haha! 😈✨
I've mentioned that with ODIL, one of my goals is to improve on making backgrounds. Knowing that my concepts start out very basic, it was very liberating for myself that I can go ba...
THERE THEY ARE!!! 😳💖💖💖
With every draft I did of them, it got slightly more spicy haha! (Micah's smile turned into a lip bite and her leg was originally off to the side but.. but I thought what if 👀💦 )
I hope you all enjoy this thirsty vampire wallpaper, and have...
It's nearly done! It's taking a little longer to finish than I had hoped but I should have it done for you lovelies before the next update! 🙏✨
2021-10-28 17:23:44 +0000 UTC View PostIf you care to indulge me, I would like to share some stuff on my mind about the comic!
With Long Road almost done, and finishing the thumbnails of the next chapter.. it made me realize that the story is actually moving haha! I didn't think I'd be hit w...
I've been going at my comic under the mentality to fix and adjust things as much as I can until it's set in stone through the outlining phase. I know that the first ideas I throw from my head into a drawing can be pretty vague still, it isn't until I come back to it ...

The nice thing about a constant background is that if it's not the focus, you can get away with a quick color pick and just block it out! It's definitely saved me a lot of time in the up coming episode. I'm also not over Mel launching at Nola. This segment, and the panels of Nola and Mel that fol...

WE GETTING A VAMPIRE AU WALLPAPER!! 😳💖💖
I struggled a little with who I wanted to be the vampire, but having Micah play the willing- I mean helpless victim was too good to pass up. 😂
Imagine the world turning pink and standing still when you're in the middle of a kiss with the one you love 😳💖
Sometimes you have to simplify the background a little to let the focus be on what really matters 🙏🥺❤❤
I hope this brings you sweet feelings and soothing moods!...
It needs a little more tweaks, but we're getting Nola and Cass sharing a kiss for this month😳💖

Oh hey there's the rest of that background haha!
I'm starting to look into incorporating some help of 3D models! I would have agonized over the Coliseum backgrounds without this model to reference it by. A very inspiring GL creator helped me figure out SketchUp for this and I'm eternally g...
Something I'm learning in the process is that if you want a wide scenic panel in the scrolling format.. you have to either sacrifice some elements, or make that panel a lot smaller than you intended it to be.
This episode, and the next ep...
I played Ashley Tinsdale's version on "Kiss the Girl" on loop for this. Thank you Ashley 🙏
A powerful wlw creator showed me these extremely versatile brushes that I experimented with throughout this piece. I don't think it would have been as pretty as it is now without them, and I am on...
Of course now that we've introduce Micah we HAVE to have a wallpaper with her and Mel in it 👀 ✨
I wanted to try teasing this sooner, but I was sitting on a sketch before this one that I wasn't 100% into, BUT THIS!!
THIS
*chef's kiss* 😘👌
This episode had a huge rework in terms of how I got from point A to point B. Let's talk about it!
When I made the drafts back in late 2019 I didn't fully understand my own characters dynamics toward each other. All I knew was I wanted Mel feeling a certain way by ...

Prince Kennar gets introduced along with his suave sister, Princess Micah!!
The blue haired wizard will have his own, very fun introduction later on in the story haha!
Aaaah I'm so happy we've finally reached this point in updates, we're getting to the interesting plot points surroundin...
This month's wallpaper has Loren and Annie having a lovely tea time together ❤
Some very powerful cousins who fight evil by moonlight, and win love by daylight helped me with this 🙏😭
I reaaaaally love how Loren's expression came out here, she's so pretty!! No wonder Annie ca...
We get to have Loren and Annie enjoying some quali-tea time together! (I'm not sorry for that pun🥰)
If you like japanese flower language, I'll be putting some symbolic flowers in the bg for you to decipher what could be going on between these two for the story 👀❤
Those gray squares with scribbles on them? That's my script, and how it all starts out as. 😅
I'm a very visually dependent person, so I rough it out with only the basic idea of what the dialogue should be. I'm sure every artist has a method that works best for them. Although it may not ...
Slowly but surely I'm learning the tricks of the trade when it comes to making webcomics. One of those being how much time you save when you re-use stuff you've already made once! Granted the lines had tweaks for facial expression changes, but overall it was so much faster aah! I'm excited to lea...

It's the whole gang!! Patterned all over your screen!? Yes please, with an additional rainbow sheen color theme in celebration of Pride month!🌈 ❤❤
I hope the month has treated you all very well 🙏🥰💖
During the thumbnail phase I try to figure out where would be some good places to cut the episode at. Since we've already had an episode end with Nola popping in. Ending it with Loren guessing about it would work much better!
LOREN'S REFERENCE FACE.. I was looking in google search for some...
This was something I made about a year ago I think, but I thought I'd share it with you guys this Pride month!
Diamond Dive is an absolutely gorgeous wlw fantasy webcomic, and I've become really good friends with the creator. She's helped me learn so much, and I definitely know I wouldn't ...
