It's the ephemeral space between between Christmas and New Years, my health keeps on backsliding, and I get to draw WHATEVER I FEEL LIKE!!!!
(what i wanted to draw was a fun power imbalance drawing with Leeds in the gladiator helmet)
I was thinking about the nice damask i drew in photoshop with the symmetry tool for the New Years illo and wanted to do something like that again, having a nice bold pattern can be fun on a drawing that might otherwise have a solid background...

YES IM STILL MAKING THESE THANK YOU FOR BEARING WITH ME
One thing Ananth and I were really disappointed in for BG3 was the dearth of fancy party missions despite there being a plethora of beautiful outfits that had no benificial stats or purpose other than looking like fancy party clothes. Maybe for DLC??
Anyway we decided to play a specific mission (Cazador's mansion) like it was an invite-only ball and we had to dress up pretty to impress Astarion's dad. It's been really fun to ...

Happy holidays! Gosh, everyone's offering Percy a drink!
Lot of ups and downs this year! But making comics was very exciting. Our collaboration evolved a lot, and in a way that will probably unfold across the next few years. We're developing a new project! We'll talk about it with our patrons when there's enough to share.
The wallpapers are for desktop and mobile! Please enjoy!

FINALLY in act 3 of Baldur's Gate - the end of the game - Percy finally hooked up with someone!!!! And it was one of the weird unexpected one night stands, too! Extremely in character, I'm proud of her. I tried not to be TOO spoiler-y with this but, well.
By the end of the game (full disclosure: we're currently in our second playthrough lol), Percy had hooked up with a total of 7 people (well, entities) with a lot of hard work and perseverance. But you're TECHNICALLY supposed t...

HI EVERYONE!!!! Thank you to everyone who read the new chapter, and thank you for everyone who supported us this year!!!! Here's a big process post preview of this year's ✨NEW YEAR'S ILLUSTRATION✨ Do you recognize all the hands? :D :D
How is this New Years themed you ask? look im just here to have fun
This one came out of a bunch of disparate ideas coming together of playing with a frame within a frame within a frame, and one of those frames is literal. I downloaded...

WOW THERE'S 10 PANELS IN THIS PAGE!!!
This is one of Ananth's thumbnails, I think he did a great job of giving flow and interest to an information-heavy conversation between two sitting people. In the end, this wasn't a super challenging page to draw - medium shots of people emoting with little to no background is a candy page for me! - but the color was kinda a nightmare!!!!!
I really like to keep pages visually balanced unless something narrativ...

LOL somehow this has been the longest one of these drawings has taken me, but I wanted to commemorate this moment!!! We've been leaning into summoning so you can just have a jillion weird allies hanging out with you (it absolutely destroys NPC pathfinding lol) and it is ... extremely fun. Highly recommended
From left to right:
Percy's mummy
Jaheira's dryad
Jiheira's dryad's woodwode
Jaheira's flaming ball
Percy's 4 ghouls
Shadowheart's cambion (flying)

This scene is so WORDY! We tried to make the scene imagery fun despite all the information/history we were trying to convey. Conversations shouldn't be a slog to draw or read!
One thing I failed to mention on page 19 at the beginning of this chapter - as Percy moves through this chapter and interacts with different people in different circumstances, she changes her look subtly. As soon as she meets up with Hyewon, she puts on this flannel and puts her hair up to push her and Hyewon furt...

WYLL NOOOO!!! Wyll's act 2 romance scene was so cute, but also hanging out with him DOES make anyone you're dating get mad at you. :,) The same happened with Gale, but it seemed so much more innocuous with Wyll because you're just doing a little line dance!!
Ultimately we wound up choosing Shadowheart for Percy (half-elf, long black hair in a braid) because she'd be the most understanding if Percy played the field a bit lol (it was important!! for character reasons!!!)

YAY we got to page 19! This probably wound up being my favorite page of the chapter! I just like the breathing space and visual interest of the slow zoom into a new environment (in this case, NYC K-town in Herald Square ... you'll see the Empire State Building later in the scene to confirm it, for the New Yorkers in the crowd)
The thumbnails were actually split duty between me and Ananth this time - I thumbnailed the scene with Cerberus, and Ananth thumbnailed the bar scene with Hyewon ...

Hmm, did you know that when you go to the elf graveyard and dig up all the graves, the elfs get mad at you, very unexpected
maybe the elfs should not have buried all these very rare spells and magical amulets

YESSS who can resist a fashion breakout!!! We've had a couple of those in this chapter, but this is the most bombastic one. :D
Ananth thumbnailed this entire scene and was definitely going for an escalation of shoujo vibes. I definitely expanded on it with the exploding bouquet haha - it felt really appropriate especially introducing Hyewon, who is basically living in a completely different genre than everyone else. 💐✨
Neither of us caught it until the page was mostly done bu...

YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED, PERCY GOT AN ENTOURAGE OF GNARLY DUDES :D
It's been fun finding the story parallels we can between our different game journeys and point excitedly and cackle. Anyway now Percy can summon some weirdos to fight with her and sometimes explode into a pile of gore?? It's fine, we're all friends

Please take a moment to appreciate the OTHER graphics I spent my entire Monday hand-lettering. Please enjoy the unnecessary amount of bubble letters that I drew when I could have instead used the type tool.
As I hinted to earlier in the week, THE BLACK FRIDAY SALE IS HAPPENING RIGHT MEOW!!! It's only running from November 10 / 11 / 12th, so the window is short! But a lot of our boo...

YAY I've been excited to show off this the breakdown of this page!
Ananth did a great job doing the thumbnails on this one, it's really fun and kinetic! I really enjoyed doing the moment-to-moment action here, and the character interactions. I don't get to draw kissing very much and it's always a fun challenge when it comes up!! >:D
I did two different passes at the first panel, one with peach tones (the obvious choice! more romantic!) and one with teal tones (breezier! breaks ...

Apparently you're supposed to have "magic users in your party" and "not lean too hard into one class" BUT WHAT IF YOU JUST HUNG OUT WITH A BUNCH OF PROFESSIONAL ASSASSINS AND MADE EVERYONE GOOD AT SNEAKING
the answer is: it's very very fun but also makes everything like 10x longer to do lol
maybe we'll use gale the wizard on the next playthrough but no promises
