...is done! Onto the next!
Also need to get the next page of BORN sketched out. Saturday and Sunday are going to be busy so hopefully I can get a lot done tomorrow afternoon. Fingers crossed!

...is done! I have just enough time to scan it in before I take off for work. Should be back tonight.<br><br>I’m going to have to take a hard look at this page tomorrow as I may need to tighten the sequence a bit. Was hoping to keep this comic at 15 pages (including cover) but it may wind up being a page or two longer at the rate I’m going. Not that I think anyone would complain, but I want to get it finished. 😅

...Page is laid out. Getting some more detailed sketches worked out. Have spent a bit more time on this than I care to admit. Pleased with the progress though. :)

...This page took forever! Literally years. Back when I first started work on BORN, this is where I stopped. I decided at the time that I wasn't skilled enough to tackle this comic as I knew there was going to be fighting and actions scenes, as well as a lot of backgrounds. Got intimidated and shelved it. So excited to see it getting done! Hope you guys enjoy it!
Next page of Stress Relief will be up later this week! Hope you'll look forward to it!
2018-04-02 21:05:37 +0000 UTC View PostI’m Baaaaack! Hope everyone had a great weekend!
Okay, gonna keep today’s update brief as there is much to do and I’m excited to get started. I’m going to post pg 3 of BORN in a few minutes and after that I’ve got a color portrait to work on (Kimono and Glasses!) as well as the next tentacle filled page of Stress Relief! Looking forward to that! The page designed is all sketched out, I just need to lay out the boxes, detail the sketches trace and stuff. Will post a progress report on...

...so I’m not as far along as I’d like, but I feel much better now. Still expecting to finish the page tomorrow. Update tomorrow on all projects and a new page. Sounds like it will be a good start to a great week!

...my friend Mel made it. This is my dnd character Merry, a half elf bard, skilled with music, rapier, and cutting words. She nailed him! Mel has quickly become one of my favorite artists. She also has a fun little webcomic called Epic Chaos. Hope you’ll check it out!
Okay, I’m back from Grape City Con and I have drawings to scan (my little corner of the convention hall was so quiet I was able to get a lot done). Expect an update later today and hopefully a new page of BORN tomo...
...and the artist that put this fantastic reference book together. Been invaluable in figuring out how to draw kimonos, yukatas, and miko uniforms.
Working on BORN today before I take off for the weekend. Gonna lay out the next page of SR this weekend and should have the next page done this coming week. I’m thinking Tuesday or Wednesday.
Have a great weekend everyone!
...with an attempt at a more realistic portrait of Tomo from BORN. Complete with Yukata and hair decor. Trying to do more realistic hair is real challenge. Took some liberties with her style. Definitely planning to work on this at the convention this weekend! :)

...moving right along!
Working on page 3 of BORN right as well as getting all my stuff together for Grape City Con this weekend. Wanted to have another page of SR done before the weekend, but that's not going to be possible, but definitely next week. Wanna keep the momentum going, especially now that the fun is about to begin! :)
More updates soon!

...busy week. Really wanted to get two pages done, and maybe I will, but I’m not holding my breath. Still, I’m pretty happy with the way this comic is turning out! 😊

...Page 6 is all sketched out! Should be able to start the pencil work when I get home tonight! Can’t wait! :)
2018-03-27 18:47:21 +0000 UTC View PostHey Gang! Stress Relief page 5 has arrived and the fun is just getting started! Or finally getting started? About to start?
One of those. Pick one. ^^;
Hoping to get two new pages done this week. With the added complexity of the page layout and whatnot it will take up the majority of my drawing time. I do need to think about something that I can post over on DevArt. I don’t want them to feel like I’ve abandoned them. ^^; I have a short BLACK LABEL comic I’d like to do, but I don’...

...I suddenly remembered how fun the game was and wondered why I’d deleted it from my phone. So I downloaded it a while back and last night decided to play it for a while before I started drawing.
4 hours later...
This is why I’ve never played Minecraft. That game would suck my life away.
So ya, I have once again deleted it from my phone. Didn’t get much done but I’m home now and I’ve got the next page laid out! Been sketching up the panels and thought I’d sh...
...getting close to the fun part!
Okay, the next section of the comic is going to take more time as the story boarding process is a tad complicated. I tend to visualize things very cinematically which doesn't always make for a good comic book (funny how that works). I have a clear on what I want to have happen sequence wise, but breaking it down into an acceptable number of panels is proving to be a challenge. Still. hope to have the next page done this weekend. Fingers...

2018-03-21 02:15:47 +0000 UTC View PostA busy week ahead, but not as busy as last week (and I got quite a bit done last week).
Will be posting page 3 of STRESS RELIEF in a few minutes. Page 4 is all sketched out and ready for hard lines. Want to get the pages 5 and 6 figured out as well. Once the “action” starts up, layout gets pretty complicated.
So how does one layout an… “action” scene? Well let’s see…
First there’s the story board; I do a bunch of rough (really rough) sketches of what I want to see h...

...taking a break from toning to get the next few pages sketched. Page design always takes me the longest time (that’s how it feels anyway). This panel is coming together nicely though! :)
Page 3 will definitely be going up tomorrow!
...or really early this morning depending on how you look at it. Just turned on my computer and was thrilled to discover just how much work I got done on page 3 before I left. I should have the whole page done and uploaded tomorrow! :)

...has arrived! Glad I was able to get this done before taking off for work. I get back on Sunday and should have some time to work a bit on pg 3 (hope to knock out the hard lines later tonight on the road. Should be a productive trip).
Have a great weekend!

...is all sketched up and ready for hard lines! Gonna try and finish up pg 2 today and get that posted. I have a busy weekend ahead, but I should have time to begin pg 3. So excited to see this one come together!
2018-03-16 17:26:29 +0000 UTC View Post
...all the base tones are down for page 2. Putting in the details one panel at a time. One down, five to go!
Page 3 is all sketched up and ready for hard lines as well. Will share the sketches either later tonight or tomorrow morning depending on how late I get in later. Gotta take off for now.
Have a great evening! Chat soon!
...on Stress Relief. Just a quick update before bed. Hope to have something finished and posted by Friday. Hope you’ll look forward to it!
Sleep well everyone! 😴
...guess what I'll be working on today?
Taxes.
And then I'll be working on line art! I'll likely get the next page sketched out as well. Progress!
So with what I have here and my schedule for the week, this page will probably be done on Friday. Hoping so. Can't wait to see how it turn out! :)
