Wow, this title is really weird for this post, but there you go. Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday today. Here’s the next page to chapter 24, which means we only got two pages left for this chapter, and I’m getting real excited. As usual, click the thumbnail below to see the latest page.
Kalwa’s just gotten a major victory in her training, unfortunately… it’s very shortly lived. We are rounding the corner we only got three more pages left for this chapter, and almost done with the second chapter in this story arch. As usual, click the thumbnail below to see the latest page.
So I mentioned a little while ago that there was some behind the scenes story with the recent page 22 and I want to share as a note to future comic artists. So when I’m doing pages, I tend to try to break up the actual drawing process and the inking process. I will usually strive to get the drawing done one night and then do the inking another. The reason being is so I can dislodge myself from the drawing and take a second look at it before finalizing it, as I might be tired and unable to properly judge immediately after drawing.
A primary example of this being the recent chapter 24 page 22. Initially I had a different angle for Kalwa in the original drawing of the page, which can be seen below on the original pencil drawing. However during inking I felt it looked real boring and not very dynamic at all. The viewer couldn’t get a sense of her strength or really absorb the power of her weapon. So in the 11th hour during Inking the pose was changed to what we have today as also seen below. So in my closing statement, I say to all that it’s always good to break up the drawing and the inking in order to properly judge situations such as this. Give yourself some time to gather your thoughts and better judge your work, don’t be so obsessive on timing if it means turning in a product you won’t be happy with.
Sorry everyone for the late post, I was busy shopping this morning for some supplies, and spent longer out than I planned, mostly because I was looking for the stuff in store. This page also took longer to make partially because I was working on some personal hobbies. But more importantly, it involves two characters locked in combat, which always are harder to do. I have a lot of trouble working two people into battle because the poses always get hard to lock together in the way I want, as well as making it clear to the reader what is happening. So that’s just how it works sometimes, regardless, enjoy the new page by clicking the thumbnail.
NEVERMIND!!! Despite my last post, I reliezed that the activity I was about to perform would really just inconvenience recent plans for today and just cause frustrations. Meanwhile the page was pretty much done and I had time to finish it. So here you go everyone, your early “late” page for today. As usual, click the link to see the new page.
New page will be up late today. Got a little project with another hobby of mine that is distracting me and I’m not gonna be able to concentrate until I resolve this issue, so look for the new page later today.
This is one of those projects I just gushed over, and all of yesterday I was just obsessed with finishing it. So those who know me should know that Dr. Stone is to date my favorite anime (other than Digimon which really just wins due to nostalgia) and Kohaku is also my “anime crush.” As a result I just love drawing her, and more of my drawings of her can be found over on the Green Raptor website.
Across the internet I’ve also been seeing a number of people coming up with their own Dr. Stone OC’s and then crossing them over with the canon characters. So since I already had a stone world design for Kalwa from last year, I decided to give it a whirl and (once again) I just gushed at the idea of my crush meeting own character. Real life wise, I’m not completely sure how well these two would get along with each other, Kohaku does have a decent sense of humor, so I could imagine a scenario like this playing out. I’m not completely sure Kohaku would approve of Kalwa playing with her knives, but she is known to have a great judge of character, so it’s possible.
Happy Saturday everyone, hope I can start up your day with a new page for chapter 24, featuring some fun bonding time with our girls. You should get a little hint from the thumb whose instigating this whole thing. As usual, click the thumb below to check out our latest page.
One of the many works I did while in quarantine which was inspired after listening to some Nighcore remixs. I was listening to a remix version of the song “hips don’t lie,” and it featured a lovely image of a manga styled girl wearing a belly dancer outfit, which prompted me to drawn Kalwa and some of our more recently introduced females performing the dance. In reality this idea had been floating around in my brain for a while, but it was thanks to that image that I finally acted upon it.
Really these full color group shots are actually quite intimidating for me, because I feel that after the first or second character, my quality on the characters tends to diminish from all the work. So this piece was kinda padded out slowly to give all the characters equal attention to detail. I went working on some other projects in between to distract myself. So after this long time coming, I hope everyone enjoys what we got.
