...cause the proportions just didn’t look right. Always hard to match up multiple characters. I’ve gotten a lot better at it.
Next two pages are thumbnailed. Gonna hit them hard tomorrow! Night y’all!

...Finally done! I look forward to the day when I can just knockout thirty pages a month. That is a thing, right?
Had to redraw the pic on the phone, but I still had the detail sketch and it's small so it didn't take terribly long. Onto page 3, which should be a lot of fun!

This week, I’ve got a bit of time, so I’m just going to try and knock out as much Black Label as I can (I’m way behind). Very excited to get started!
In seven days Tumblr will no longer allow NSFW material. I was thinking for a while that I would just nuke my page and make Tumblr’s user base just a little bit smaller, but I think I’m gonna hold onto it for now...

...done! Not sure what happened, but some of my line settings seem to be off. It looks fine, but it took a while to get the lines right. Think I’ve got it figured out though. Practice, practice, practice.

...this past Monday as I was putting the finishing touches on chapter 2 page 1, I stepped away from my computer for a while. When I returned I’d discovered my computer had turned off (still not sure why). Fortunately everything was saved but when I tried to open the file I got the above error.
I wrote and deleted maybe half a dozen fuming posts about this before I got my ass back to work and started over. In some ways this newer page does not pass muster for me (there were originally...
…has never been my favorite place. There’s a lot of great content and creators over there that I enjoy, but I never liked the way the page was built. Their inbox/messaging/gallery/etc. aren’t as clear or functional as DevArt (in my opinion) but then Tumblr was designed for blogging first and foremost.
The point being, I have a Tumblr page…for now.
You may have heard recently that some CP was found on Tumblr. In an effort to “encourage” Tumblr to “do something about it,” A...

…and write. I have some writing I need to do. ^^;
Not sure what I’ll be able to accomplish this week (once Wednesday hits it’s gonna get kinda crazy over here) but I’m aiming to get one page knocked out plus something else. Not sure if “something else...

...like a good little pet. :)
Was hoping to get some pages done this week but had trouble getting things to look the way I wanted. Fortunately, I am never short on things to draw. I'd actually been working on this pic for a while so I'm thrilled to finally get it done. Tones came out a bit darker than they should have (I still haven't figured out the best settings for my Wacom), but she looks great overall. Very happy with her. Going to look good as a chapter book...

One more post in a few minutes. Thanks for your patience this week everyone!

...frustrated with the slow progress of page 1 I decided I needed to get my drawing hand back in gear (that’s what happens when I don’t draw for a few days). So knocking out a quick and dirty black and white portrait of Meg in a hat. Hat took for friggin ever. Who knew. Still, looks pretty cute. Feel like I can draw again. If nothing else it’ll make a nice Instagram pic.

...someone asked me if I had any plans of finishing the Amazon comic, which I haven't worked on in some time.
The problem was that when I wrote Amazon I didn't have the skills to draw it. Drawing multiple characters interacting with each other is a challenge. When it's five or six characters...yeah, that was a bit beyond my ability at the times. But it looks like I may be able to pull it off now. :)
...Hey everyone! Hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving!
Guess who got sick this weekend? Worst part was, I had to work on Saturday. Feeling considerably better today, but I’m still running pretty slow. Say…76%. Took it easy yesterday and drew something non-Black Label, but part of another project that I have ignored for far too long. Will post it later today.
It’s almost December. December is going to be a crazy month. Not just for me, but for all of us I’m sure. There ...

...an artist friend showed me some tricks for making backgrounds and the various line tool tricks I can use in Clip Studio. Made me really excited to draw to test it out on Meg's workshop space. I have mixed feelings about the results (it looks a little too good) but it should improve with practice.
Her workshop isn't quite done yet (I need to add some more distinctive leather working hardware, right now it just looks like an artists studio) but since I'm going to be on the road fo...

...is pretty much done. I worked on it first because I knew I had that background to look forward to. Page needs some fixes an edits but it’s more or less done.
I take off tomorrow for Thanksgiving but I’ll try to post it before I go. Was planning to wait till the first four pages are done, but you guys deserve some love. :)
...they take time. They also tend to look a little too good as I use the line tool a lot and the lines are a little too perfect. Funny how that happens.
I actually sat down and mapped out most of Meg’s house (which is what your supposed to do before you start a comic). It was an interesting project. Gonna do the same for Ellie’s apartment.
...thumbnailed and ready for sketching! And even though this first section is called Work Week, expect some laughs and sexy times! ;)
