Rowkey

painted-bees:

My submission to this month’s Crayon Crunch exchange!!
This little guy is a gargoyle, and oh my gosh, he’s so cute I had to get working on him right away!!
He belongs to Rowkey!!

I am SO tardy in responding to this beautiful picture, oh my goodness. Two things make me happy about this: the first is that all of my own art skews yellow, so seeing Grin in a cooler composition tickles my eyes. The second is that (for some reason) I never even considered a gargoyle’s interaction with birds- this opens up so many more possibilities for Grin to annoy other cathedral residents.
But yes, THANK YOU again! This is just so adorable. <3

NOT MY ART, my characters, gringoire, grin, gargoyles,

“Are you doing all the inking for this comic by hand on paper? or is this comic made in something like PS? It looks so good! ^__^”

Missing E won’t let me reply to replies for some reason- sorry for this clunky method of responding to things. :c

Thank you so much! All in all I’d say about 80-90% of this comic will be inked traditionally. A lot of large black areas will be filled with Photoshop, white details will be added to existing background areas, and all of the grayscale shading/toning will be digital. All of this is incredibly new to me, but I’d love to get to the point where I’m confident enough to do it all by hand.

The fox preview image is ink with a nib pen. Most comic folks use felt or brush pens, it seems (and for good reason- fewer surpise! snag-splatters), but nibs feel so nice in my hand.

replies,

And yes, I’ll be posting the comic when it’s all nice ‘n shiny! It’s a school project gone late and awry, so there aren’t any strings attached. :]

replies, homopteran,

Preview for a ten page comic I’m working on. The inking is mostly finished, but LORD am I being a slowpoke, so here’s a closeup.

Grin caught a bug or something and is pestering good, hardworking gargoyles (with actual water chutes carved through them).

Combing through this sketchbook- here are some no-sketch felt tip pen thingies. Comfort-zones-R-us.

Green Sky

My “big” (22x15 inch) painting for landscape class, inspired by those bizarre periods of time when the sky turns green and tornadoes brew. Acrylic and colored pencil on watercolor paper.

Sculpted a gargoyle! Wire, foil, and sculpey mounted on a piece of plywood with some acrylic paint on top. I don’t sculpt often, but it’s always entertaining, and an excellent skill to practice if you want to make reference maquettes. These photos focus on the face because the body is (quite frankly) rushed as all get-out and I’m a bit embarrassed about it.

LINES ARE GULDENTUSKS’, commissioned from a couple months back. I added some digital color faffery- getting acquainted with brush settings and the like. :>

My little sister is turning fifteen tomorrow- what on EARTH?! She really enjoys poms and good tunes, so I combined them for a quick card. My color palettes are getting rusty (literally and figuratively), so I grabbed one from the cool folks at Colourlovers.
