That first panel of Remiel is probably the closest I’ve managed to get to what he looks like inside of my head. He (and a few other male characters, really…) should be more of the “ikemen” archetype, but since the dawn of time I have only ever been able to draw femboys. Enjoy it, it’s… Continue reading Chapter 2.2: Gentle Dawn ~Bright Morning~ 088

For this one, I tried to skip inking and just used a tidied up sketch, in order to try and save time… The first couple of panels look a bit messier, but I think I got the hang of it by the end. I’m always trying to desperately think of ways to make creating this… Continue reading Chapter 2.2: Gentle Dawn ~Bright Morning~ 089

This page took quite a long time, since I had to do two backgrounds… Several upcoming pages are gonna test me like this. Why do I make layouts that require scenery? Why can’t I just draw everything on blank backgrounds? (Because it wouldn’t look as nice, obviously…) But when I have to draw something with… Continue reading Chapter 2.2: Gentle Dawn ~Bright Morning~ 090

Took a few shortcuts this time, such as silhouetting them in the last panel, so it went a but faster. Thanatos’ face was cuter when I didn’t shadow the nose though… regrets.

This took so long to do because I had to do three backgrounds… I tried various techniques including a new coloring process to make things go faster, but in the end the background are the killer. They’re so difficult to, I completely messed up the scale of everything. I’ve been looking into Sketchup, Acon3D and… Continue reading Chapter 2.2: Gentle Dawn ~Bright Morning~ 092

First page since I updated the website. Still trying to find a good balance for some things, like how much to blur layer I’m putting over everything. Also tempted to add a noise effect to everything, but I don’t know. Anyway, we’ll see how it goes. In theory it should be a unisex store, but… Continue reading Chapter 2.2: Gentle Dawn ~Bright Morning~ 093

I said I wouldn’t do two-page spreads anymore, but I lied. I’m a slow worker, so it takes two weeks to do four full-body images. I also did alternate colored versions, though since I’m using the multiple/glow layer technique it didn’t really add to much to the time. I’ll include them below, though. I don’t… Continue reading Chapter 2.2: Gentle Dawn ~Bright Morning~ 094

The second half of the two-page spread. Such a mysterious clothing shop… The story takes place in an intentionally vague location, but it’s clearly the Canada/America region and yet it sells a Japanese serafuku? And it’s not even a cosplay story… how mysterious… As always, I implore you to not think about these things too… Continue reading Chapter 2.2: Gentle Dawn ~Bright Morning~ 095

A lot of things happened in November that kept me from finishing this up. Had 250 new vocab flash cards, a new puppy, handling bookkeeping for my dad, I think there was more but I’ve already forgotten.
