I wanted to get pens like the ones i used in yesterday's sketch, but my closest grocery store didn't have them. So bought some gel pens instead and made this sketch. Like it overall, but I coulda done better on the clothing, and I don't think she's holding the skull naturally.

You know what? I wanna do another set of comics for "The Houses of Winter Waits Road." I liked making them and I think they have some potential.
Yeah, let's do it. I'll try and have em done by the end of the month.

Short compilation of some of my favorite one page comics i made over the past few months. I Also did some more work on the first one, "Formation of the Wizard's Eye," I didn't like how it looked originally; felt it looked too empty.

Rough drafts of 3 pages from chapter 1. The final page falls apart, I feel. I need to practice buildings in this style more and put more background characters in; Town should feel busier and more populated than this. 1st and 2nd page is about where I want them.

My micron pens are almost out, but they're holding on for longer than I thought. Sketch from last night.

"Sister of Nature"
wanted to do a one-page comic, but it wound up just being 2. While I do like it, the final piece looks odd to me. Idk, the end result makes the panels feel redundant. Like I shouldn't have bothered with them and just made it a full page.

The Freeze wasn't so bad for me. Never lost power and the roads didn't ice too severely. Worse for other places, and I hope they recover quickly. The colds not letting up anytime soon.

Some sketches for Fetcher chptr 1. Top panel page 2 wanted to do hatching effect for the sky to put focus on the rest of the panel and cause I think it's a cool effect. didn't work gotta try something else. Discontinuity between bottom panel page 1 and panels on page 2. Improvements for final.

Good news everyone.

Planning out the first town the party goes to in the campaign. It's a small old village, a quiet stopping point before the big city in the region. I like the layout, but not this sketch much. Try it a few more times, add a couple more buildings, refine the ascetic a bit.

So I did another pivot in making my dnd camp. Not a full scrap-n-start-over thankfully. Same world, same premise, just shifting focus to another part of the continent. Realized I was doing the halfway/reveal dungeon first, and that simply wouldn't do. So we're moving north and starting off simpler.

After an hour long walk, I kicked the funk i was in and got some rough sketches for episode 1 of Fetcher done up. Despite having an outline for it I didn't really know how to connect the dots, one of the things dragging me down earlier, but I think it's taking shape better now.
