I just think more women should be werewolves and also do werewolf carnage! Let her maul, your honour.

Hey, friends! Here are some thoughts on using planes in your compositions.
Text: "Planes" are a depiction of anything that exists in a drawing at a FiXED spatial distance from the viewer, with each grouping of subjects at a shared distance overlapping the next in order to suggest the spatial relationship of each element in the drawing to the others. This image has three planes: (Image of a drawing with a scorpion on a rock, a cowboy sitting on a rock, and a mountain in the background). Each plane in an image signifies a different degree of distance, with the foreground SHARiNG the viewer’s spatial plane, and the background being the farthest from it. There’s clear distance between each plane; no plane “touches” another. Text: why is overlapping the planes necessary? (image: a cowboy apparently close to the viewer, one a ways back, and then a saloon behind him). Unless one plane directly overlaps another, there’s no sure clarity that they are, in fact, suggestive of different distances. (image: the cowboy appearing to be closest is shown to be a giant, swinging the apparently midground cowboy by the head into the two-story saloon that's only about as tall as a person). it’s also important to suggest scale in each plane using subjects whose size the audience is likely to know. when that isn’t possible, try repeating the element-of-unspecified-scale (a) from one plane in another and have it (B) interact there with a subject whose scale is clear. (image: a small round cactus in the foreground, and farther off a cowboy sitting on a similar cactus) Text: A perspective grid composition (A) suggests depth by progressive recession in space, while planar composition (B) suggests it with staggered recession in space. (image: a receding grid and a series of staggered planar elements) The principles of overlapping planar composition can be used with a perspective grid, especially if there are elements with right angles (like buildings). Rough your panel with plane elements in place first... ...then make/place a grid that fits your layout... ...then utilize the grid to make the receding angles match. (image: a wanted man hiding against a wall while a cowgirl crossed the street, looking around). One of the most useful* aspects of a foreground element is to create a sense of immersion for your audience. by putting it on essentially the same plane as the audience itself, the audience becomes a part of the story, seemingly able to touch the foreground, to lean around it for a better view. (image: the wanted man is now decidedly a foreground element). *it also means less time spent drawing all of the detail in the midground or background planes without ever aesthetically shortchanging your audience.

🌠Meeting in the Celestial Tower🌠

Valentine's Day commission I did for Grace & Audra 💝
Two lesbians crossing swords and embracing stand in a ruined tower stairwell, looking into each other's eyes, their faces blushing. Grace (left) has short brown hair slicked back and wears glasses. She's wearing a teal doublet which is patterned on the chest & with large sleeves slashed on the upper arm revealing a voluminous shirt beneath. She has dark teal trunkhose on and over-the-knee cavalier boots. Audra (right) wears a deep blue bliaut (type of medieval gown with sleeves which hang long from the elbow) with gold & ruby necklace and girdle; her brown hair is tied in an elaborate braided bun. A ginkgo tree with its golden yellow leaves with plum coloured ranunculus flowers at its roots is overgrowing the stairwell. Through the doorway at the back is a nebulous starscape.

The Hearth (1/21)

A sapphic horror comic about witchcraft and hunger in the dead of winter.
An illustrated cover for a short comic called The Hearth by lainey williams. A cabin sits in a clearing in a snowy forest. The small windows in the log cabin are lit yellow and there is a trail of blood through the snow leading to the door. Smoke rises from the cabin’s chimney to surround the title. On either side of the smoke are illustrations in the style of Karelian embroidery, showing stylized geometric patterns in red thread. On the left side embroidery section, there is a depiction of a woman kneeling. her hands are stained red and she wears a headscarf. Opposite her is a woman standing. Instead of a left arm she has a wing. Over the top of the image, two geese shaded in red fly over the cabin and smoke. The trees all around the cabin are shaded in dark blue.

It looks possible, even likely, that we'll hit 666 backers.

Might celebrate that by writing a scenario wherein our heroes must claw their way out of the underworld that you can only play with rogues who have died in previous adventures.

I spent so much time over the last decade wringing my hands about putting together a stand-alone version of Swords. Largely because I didn't have the resources to do it justice and I was worried there wouldn't be the interested to justify it.

What a fool I was.

I rescued a teen girl from the woods, and all I got 36 years later was This Horrible Woman!

Page o' sketches, some from a few months ago, some from a few minutes ago!
Page of black and grey scratchy doodles of a woman smiling eerily at the camera, and young girl poking some trash and saying ew, a young woman standing naked and dazed with her hand potentially missing, and small drawing of a girl just SCREAM "aaaaa" in a cartoony way, a crouched over young woman who is naked and looks a bit crazed, a teen girl bundles in some blanket looking furious with the conversation next to her that goes "we rescued her from the woods" "...are you sure?", and a kind of knobbly hand. It's okay as far as sketchy hands go. They can't all be winners.

a few more shots - no video, sadly, since i was rushing to get her to the show, but she has a working jaw, can tilt her head, & her arms are controlled with a separate hinged hand bar. she floats really eerily & overall i'm very pleased with how she came out!
