still in debate on their uniform colors. but so far its cute. I think Felix is a bit too tall standing next to her brother. Marcelo is a big guy. may have to fix it after i get a more yardwork done

Giving the application 'Nightshade' a try for my images. it almost pixilates the image, making it obvious something was done but its not terrible over all.

Concept for the Eldest (Enzo) and the Youngest (Felix) of the sons.

Working on a one-stop shop for my art and stories. How's everyone doing today?

Sketches from last night's stream:

Hey. Hey you. Guess what. They made a car outta wood. It’s a two cedar. It’s very poplar. But it drives bad. People crash it and then they face palm. They tried making a Mercedes outta birch but it failed. Because the Mercedes bends. 🙃

Seven, one of the sons from my story.

My sketches from last night's twitch stream with Mecanical Pencils and Kumakea. I had a lot of fun

I'm glad i am on this journey to relearn how to enjoy the journey in drawing and how to simply just draw for myself. these were two drawings from last night's twitch stream

I had not realized just how much i let folks pressure me about my characters till now. My comic is about 12 brothers. Folks would tell me that I needed to diversify the siblings by adding sisters. I tried it but ultimately went back to my original idea. I guess I just enjoy them as brothers more.

Is there an option for uploading larger images without the image becoming pixilated? I tried twice to upload a larger image but it ends up looking pixilated

Age yourself with the cartoonist you watched as a kid. Ooohhh boy...

The next out of 12 siblings. I am still working out her design, and it's getting fun. I want to try a few outfits on everyone soon

Got to enjoy an evening of drawing. It was good to just allow myself to step away for a bit and draw for my own mental health's sake.

Mok was always my biggest inspiration when it came to creating villains in my stories. I tried to make a new villain character and I just subconsciously started drawing him. 🤣

I think I got a good logline for my webcomic: "A notorious warlock's world gets flipped when he accidentally resets a dozen living weapons to factory settings, saddling him with a pack of super-powered teens with a taste for chaos and programmed to kill magic users... just like him."

Possibly the best clap back against ignorant antivaxxers.

with every bite of bánh mì they grow stronger

Your monthly reminder: Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs you to tell your truth through your words.

This is a really cool way to convert long scrolly webtoons to print, and I wish more books would play with format, shape, and size to best suit the material!

working on the next video. last week threw me off but it's time to get back to work. I have to remind myself to Be The Bard! The family as they are now. some updates will be made but i am vloging the whole journey as I go I was surprised to see that they're Silhouettes didn't turn out so bad!

I got to spend some time developing my story and then explaining it over video. It was a challenge and it's always intimidating to talk to a camera. But it was fun! Also updated on Youtube: youtu.be/ZiJjQf4kZWA #fantasy worldbuilding

I've decided that as I work out my story that I would record the process. I never thought it would be so awkward to sit in front of a camera and talk to it. I'm revising older designs and revamping them. My current target are Josen and Lazar here

I came across an outdated guide on image grid sizing crop/proportions for bsky earlier, and I felt it was important to create an updated version! Please use this new guide instead!

Saturday sketching. not sure where I'll go with this but i haven't posted anything online and figured this would be good :) Here are 4 out of the 12 brothers

Purchased this amazing drafting table and chair from the FB marketplace for $225 Is it silly to be this giddy over a table? This desk is nearly taller than me

What do I enjoy so much that I would write and create comics about it? high action/adventure? extreme combat? Scifi/fantasy hybrids? Progression Fantasy? dark romance? LitRPG? Cultivation themed stories? YES?

a small sketch that ended up blown up because i liked it too much of the eldest sibling (middle) in this big family. Kore's hair was a challenge. originally it was shorter but it felt way to 'cloud strife-y' . so I played with a few styles and this ended up in the final sketch

I need to plot out next years convention trip. i want to go out and enjoy a good comic and anime convention and maybe even make a few new friends while out there. i am going to wait another year before i visit a convention as an artist. it depends on how 2024 goes.

if you had to pick, would it be the left or right for hair color? i am struggling to decide.

A fun sketch of the twins, Tahi and Rua.

Got any suggestions for finding new art and writing here? I am slowly navigating my way around the space but am very open to suggestions.

Back to drawing. with my schedule, Friday nights and Saturdays are spent humped over my desk drawing. Hows your weekend going? 😁
