Trying to finalize Kelu's look for volume 2.

Heartbeat

I'm so sorry I haven't posted any concept art this month, I'm swamped.  I drew this today because I just had to.  I HAD TO.

OpenCanvas 6

(Since it was asked and it's difficult to explain without an image.)  

This my setup for my brush in OC6 when I'm about to draw lines.  It's listed as "pen" way up at the top there but I'm actually using the Pencil tool.  Other brush variations can be found under "Nibs," but I gener...

Close-up

(The wallpaper is available for the $5 tier right now, or you can wait for it to show up in the comic)

TQ Wallpaper - Zizumbir

So this was mainly for practice with the environment.  I plan on making a two-page spread for every chapter break from now on, which can double as wallpapers for you lovely people.  I'm not sure which chapter this will be going with yet.  The next one will likely be the Chapter 1 spre...

TQ website prelim

Hopefully once TQ is ready to return, I will be able to convince the Hiveworks tech to redo my site.  Because the old version of the comic had SO MANY COLORS I was afraid to use any color in the site itself and the overall design was left pretty bland.

You guys are awesome!

This is a close-up WIP of a wallpaper/ chapter transition page for TQ.  POOR MAMA DOESN'T EVEN HAVE WHISKERS YET.  

I got a couple of nasty comments on Tapastic today.  People being bitter about Persephone not being free to read in its entirety.  I'm super lucky to have you guy...

BIG NEWS (Update!)

Ok, tallies are in (I'm still happy to hear comments) and it seems that World Building and NSFW are the clear winners, with couples wallpapers being pretty popular.  It was suggested that I combine the couples wallpapers with NSFW and use them for the $10 tier, while saving World Building for t...

TQ 003

So before, TQ pages were on an 8.5x11 page and I limited myself to 2 or 3 levels for the panels to be on.  Now that the pages are 6x9, I can add more levels and have smaller drawings/ more going on per page.  

The tigers all act like big kitties, but I am a dog person who has never owned...

TQ 002

Those border lines are on every page to help me keep the panels looking consistent from page to page.  I just leave the layer invisible after setting up the layout.  

TQ 001

Looked around at some other comics I follow to decide on the overall look I want for my pages.

BIG NEWS!

The charge upfront feature is finally here! (Though it would've been nice to know that my payout would be put on hold until halfway through December BEFORE I switched.  So much for buying Christmas presents.) 

This means that instead of having to keep track of who has what and...

Persephone quick update

I just finished the thumbnails for chapter 5 and there will be 22 pages.  Y'all are gonna love this one, we're getting closer and closer!

Color test (fixed)

Jintu's eye color just looked off, so I fixed it.

TQ Color Detail

You might notice some differences in the overall style.  Cleaning up the colors puts more emphasis on the lines. 

TQ Color Test

How do they look?  (I'll post a detail of their faces)

TQ: Heavy Sleeper

Kizarasunga isn't so much a heavy sleeper as one with selective hearing.  

Persephone 2 &3 follow-up

Ok, I did my best to send out the chapters to all new October $5 patrons!  It will be in your messages right here on patreon (the notification isn't very well-displayed).  I ask for names so that I have a checklist to go down and can search for people specifically on my patron master-list....

Persephone Chapters 2 and 3

Ok, this is the post where anyone who needs chapters 2 and 3 should speak up!  Leave a comment here so I can add you to the list and send the link out via private message :)  

The links will be to a pair of dropbox folders.  Since the image viewer is pretty clunky, I highly reco...

Spiderhall

Anybody remember the dungeon-crawler short story I mentioned forever ago? 

I'm not completely sure what kind of style to give it.  Since it's going to take place in a dark cave, I was considering just doing it in black and white.

Hug

Just a little somethin'  :)

Goblins

Song is not the only goblin on the mountain.  He might be the prettiest, though.

Truce

Somehow they'll end up being best friends.  It'll just take a while.

Coats, coats, and more coats!

The Ha'Nakki men make coats year-round to sell at the Trader's Festival.  One of their specialties is sewing chainmaille into the lining for protection against bears and other wild animals.  They have a deal going on with a prominent blacksmithing family to get good prices on supplies. &nb...

Kizarasunga's new colors

So my husband brought this to my attention quite a while ago, but it seems Kizarasunga's original hair color varied considerably from screen to screen.  I chose an orange color.  My phone would display the same color I saw on my laptop.  His phone and pc showed an overly-bright clown ...

TQ 2

So I do my first draft of a thumbnail on paper, in these little 6x9 sketchbooks.  I have a stack of them on my desk, one for each different series.  (I plan on giving the Persephone one away as the top tier prize in the Kickstarter campaign when the comic goes to print!)  I started do...

Extra 01: First Naked Man

OK!  I'm officially putting TQ on hiatus so that I can show it to you all the way I originally envisioned it in my head.  Not gonna lie, I have cut far too many corners due to time constraints and lack of artistic ability.  I love my characters too much to leave them in a comic I am n...
