Ah yes! The next page! This one will actually be going up on DevArt in the next few days. Glad I finally got around to it. ^^; I'm also glad I got some of the more challenging pages already out of the way (although there are a few more to go). Onto the next!
I hope you're all having a great week! Chat soon!

...next page of BLACK LABEL should be up early next week. After that...I'll likely take the rest of the week to do more character design work. Really enjoying that.
Have a great weekend everyone!

...Done! I've included the whole scene for ya. Next up we'll be jumping over to the previous scene between Ellie and Val. I just need to finish polishing the script.
In the meantime, I have a pile of sketches that just need a little bit of polish, so I'm going to hit those tomorrow while Get the next set of pages designed, Gonna be a busy week! Can't wait to see what I make! Chat soon!

...I was working on pages six and seven together and wound up finishing page 7 first. ^^; Honestly, I wasn't even planning to work on it this week, but I was having fun thinking about the expressions and...here we are! :D
Page 6 will be up early next week, and I'll post the whole sequence for you. After that, we shift focus over to Ellie and Val (miss those two)!
Have a great weekend!

Sam & Val are very different...but their tastes make them the perfect team. And as they say, "Teamwork makes the dream work!"
Original sketch had Val in a blindfold, but I like this better. she looks so invested. ;)
As amazing a print/sticker that this would be, I have a feeling the print shop would think differently. ^^;
Larger version attached below!
Onto the next! Might just have something else to share in a few days. Cheers!

Such a handy little spell!
There was originally going to be a tentacle coming out of that book, but my cat was insistent that she appear in this image. Would not stay off my lap. ^^;
Larger version attached below!
Will likely create a different tentacle variant on the future, but I'm quite pleased with this! Gonna make a great sticker! :D

Page 3 of Meg & Blaire's story arc for chapter 7! Was hoping to have page 4 up today as well, but I have three versions of the first panel and I can't decide which one I like the most. Only time will tell. Will have it posted in the next day or so.
And now I'm off to do some Mail Club art designs before dinner. Hope everyone is having a great day! Chat soon!
2022-08-16 19:41:06 +0000 UTC View Post…greetings! Last week was a buy and productive one! I’d hoped to have two pages finished over the weekend, but we were surprised by a visit from friends! A most welcome surprise and we had a blast! Didn’t realize how much I needed the visit.
Now I’m back to work and I’m excited! Should have both pages squared away in the next day or so. After that I’ll be using the rest of the week to do some new mail club images (thought I still had a few in my backlog, but apparently...

I've reached the inking phase for the next two pages! There's gonna be some higer quality panels in there so I took an extra day for those and boy will it be worth it!
Hope to get that knocked out today and get to toning tomorrow. That means we might have two new pages this weekend, and if not, then early next week! :D
Also have a nice warm up sketch coming together with Sam & Val. Arm wrestling never looked so good! :D

Says I need to become a patron first. 🤪 I sent in a bug report so hopefully it gets cleared up soon (this is only an issue with the app so far as I can tell. so hopefully I can start responding once I get home to my computer). Fortunately I can still like comments, and so I shall (because I do). ;)

Took a break to sketch out a short 7-8 panel sequence from my fantasy story. No sign of Seri this time round, but it should still be fun!

Funny story...thought I'd sit down to work on the next page a bit so that I could post some WIPs for $5 and $10 patrons and accidentally finished it. XD Not complaining!
On to the next!
This page follows the previous page. I've split up Meg and Ellie's story arcs and am working on Meg's first while I finish squaring away some details to Ellies part of the chapter. There some details that I'm finding difficult to visualize, which means I need to rework the script a bit (...

Sorry for posting these out of order. Next page will be in sequence with this one and should be up in the next day or so. I'm getting shit done! :D
Good night!

...Lots of good news to share! As you can see, this month's mail club sticker looks amazing! The prints are all signed and ready to go, I just need to add these to the envelopes and the first batch of mail club rewards will be on their way!
Okay, time for the big news! I try not to share too much drama here as it distracts from what's important (and frankly, I come here to get away from all that), but here we go...one of my roommates is my brother-in-law. He is t...

Another page is detailed and ready for lines...but I'm probably going to detail a few more pages first, cause I'm on a roll...and the next page is gonna be fun!
I still have my DnD fantasy adventure story living in the back of my head. Not actively working on it right now because I want the entire script done first...and it's a complicated story. ^^; Why can't I do short stories? I know I can, but they always take on a life of their own. I actually had three more...

Ah, backstory!
As advertised, I'm posting things a tad out of order right now as I want to get the more complicated pages out of the way first, so I don't burnout later. Working good so far! :D
Sorry this one took a while. I'm hoping to have some fun stuff later this week. Until then, stay cool out there (it's very warm over here). ^^;;

I wish I had more to share, but I'm posting a new page this weekend and I don't want to completely spoil it (it's going to be a fun one)! It's funny, I'm trying hard not to do too many spoilers, but since I'm drawing this chapter out of order (I'm getting the complicated pages out of the way first) even the finished pages are spoilers. That means this post contains a spoiler of a spoiler (trust me, I did the math, this makes sense). ^^;;
I made a few, fun book cover elements...
2022-07-22 21:18:11 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for the radio silence, but we needed to get some clean/repairs done around here. Nothing too crazy, just…time consuming. The good news is, it’s mostly done and I get the next four days all to myself to draw! So excited to start!
Last week was mostly for writing and tightening up the details from Meg’s past. Speaking of Meg’s past, we get to catch a glimpse of that this week with the page set I’m tackling. The sequence is three pages long, so I hope to get the detail...

I can now print labels in a single shot and I don’t have to lay them out and organize them any more! I just download the file, make sure everything fits and hit print. This saves me several hours! Took a long time to get it working properly, but now it works! Mail club rewards are all packed and ready to go! Will have them in the box first thing tomorrow!
Your support made this upgrade possible! Thanks everyone!
2022-07-13 23:54:43 +0000 UTC View Post...Welcome back!
It's been a rough week so far. I'm working with a new label printer, a Mumbyn, which will hopefully make mail club faster and efficient, but so far it's been a royal pain. Workshopping it today, so hopefully we'll get it figured out.
I went to the post office and got a lot of mail club packs back (some of them from April and May), so I'll be contacting people this week to get that figured out. Sorry for the delays. ^^;

...to bring you three pages that crack me up. I hope they do the same for you!
Rather than force myself to move forward with each page, I'm going to try and bring you shorter scenes and sequences (without jumping around too much. Will make things more interesting for me and will keep the content coming more consistently.

Next months mail club merch has been ordered and the final mailing for June will be later this week! :D
I’ve changed up my work flow a bit, so rather than working on the next page of Black Label this week, I’m working on a three page sequence to see how quickly it comes together (about ten panels)...

Now we're back in business!
It took me a while to get back into the swing of things, but we are finally moving forward once again! Very excited to share more of this chapter, too!
This is kind of a weak page to be jumping back in with, but necessary for the important, uncomfortable and hopefully hilarious conversations we're about to listen in on (and the memories we'll get to see)!
I hope you're all having a great weekend!

Getting the detectives look consistent is going to be an issue, but at least he's developed a more distinctive look. Practice practice!
