Day 107 of posting art ‘til my hand is healed. It’s Kakon’s portrait. I want to redo this one. I drew everyone else in their demon world clothes, so why not him? Shame on me!

A digital illustration. A blonde teenage boy in casual clothes. He's giving the thumbs up!

I do have more recent KS art...but it's all Kijo and Yasha 🤣 Poor Hisaki, I ain't been drawing him lately in standalone art.
A digital illustration. Two young women stand in the foreground, their arms bound together by some green glowing chain. In the background, a pale man looks menacingly at them while channeling some kind of pink/purple power in his hand. A digital illustration. A teenage girl with very long black hair is holding a glowing lotus flower. Behind her, in shades of purple, is a woman in her 30s rising up as though emerging from the teenage girl.

Our comic just gets more and more dramatic as time goes on, but this is still my favorite.
A digital manga page from the webcomic, Kuro Shouri. A teenage boy in the foreground says dramatically, "I don't need you." The teenage girl behind him looks shocked and hurt.

Day 106 of posting art ‘til my hand is healed. A piece for the oc kiss challenge! A high school friend of mine shipped these two pretty hard back in the day. I think I finally see what she was talking about. It’s pretty darn cute!

#oc #ocsky #kuroshouri
My OCs, Kakon and Hisaki, smooching. Kakon is carrying Hisaki bridal-style.

Would either of them want to show off their tum in Yasha's outfit? 🤣

Day 105 of posting art ‘til my hand is healed. That time my character/situation randomizer gave me the perfect scene for the chapter I was working on, lol. Uh. Kakon isn’t smart, guys 😅

#oc #ocsky #kuroshouri
Prompt: Haru takes care of Kakon who is injured. A sketchy drawing of a tall boy (Kakon), with a bloodied arm, and a shorter girl (Haru), who is examining the wound. The dialogue says... Kakon: I'm telling you, it's fine! I'm already wearing bandages! Haru: Are you stupid or something?

Day 104 of posting art ‘til my hand is healed. One of the nice things about learning anatomy and having a muscular character, is that you have someone to practice drawing! Yeah!!! Thanks for flexing, Kakon!

#oc #ocsky #kuroshouri
A traditional marker picture of a blonde teenage boy with a LOT of scars on his abdomen. He is flexing for me, the little creator floating around him like a fairy. The text says: Me: Kakon! Flex for me! Kakon: Of course!

Day 103 of posting art ‘til my hand is healed. This is a joke picture I made one day. Was laughing to myself because if Haru ever did come to the human world, Makoto would totally make the three of them do shit like this lol.

#oc #ocsky #kuroshouri
A digital illustration. A tall blonde boy, a shorter girl with light brown/dirty blonde hair, and a much shorter girl with blue hair all pose for a picture. Nobody but the brown-haired girl is happy about it.

Day 102 of posting art ‘til my hand is healed. Just a comic panel I colored, for giggles. Kakon looked like such a sad puppy when he was with Kuroi. I was glad when he finally started smiling again.

#oc #ocsky #kuroshouri
A digital manga panel that has been colored. A boy with an IV in his arm is slouched over a bit, and looks weary. He also appears to be covered in dirt and his clothes are somewhat torn.

Hisaki has to rescue or otherwise protect Yasha pretty frequently, and she is T I R E D of it 😅
It's certainly understandable that she wants to not be a burden, but it's also understandable that he doesn't want a dead friend. 😅😅😅
A digital manga page. The first panel shows a hand reaching out, then the second panel shows a girl about to fall down the stairs and a boy grabbing her by the arm to stop her fall.

I did the thing! Goodness, @davidaludwig.bsky.social , seems we talked quite a bit in the last week!
A bubble image with the people I've talked to in the last week. Seems I talked to one person quite a bit.

Before all the unpleasant stuff happened, I ordered my very first set of Ohuhu markers. They just arrived today.
I'm too tired and sick to really test them, but I like so far! 👍
(But seriously? 4 pale skin shades and only one brown shade? I know it's a six marker pack, but still...)
A photo of the Ohuhu Honolulu 6 marker pack of skin tones. In the background is a very pink desk and also the butt end of an orange cat.

Day 101 of posting art ‘til my hand is healed. An old spoiler pic I drew when I was writing the Kuroi arc. I remember I colored it at 3 AM and didn’t remember my method the next day. Insomnia art, whee!

(Marked graphic media, for blood.)

A digital illustration of a teenage boy, still in his school uniform, but with the shirt open so you can see the fresh wounds on his chest.

Day 100!! of posting art ‘til my hand is healed. The initial sketches for Kakon and Hisaki’s outfit changes! As you can see, Kakon came to us right away, but Hisaki needed time to cook.

#oc #ocsky #kuroshouri
A concept sketch of two teenage boys in their alternate world outfits. One is in a torn straitjacket with blue pants that are somewhat bandaged up. The other is in some kind of dark blue and red outfit. It's hard to tell, because back then I used to use incredibly dark colors that are now difficult to see properly.

Yep 🤣She had a skirt back then, I have evidence!!

Here's Hisaki's, if you missed it.
A 4-panel comic in which my character Hisaki meets his first draft version. Turns out, the angsty boy used to be a laid-back slacker type. In the comic, Current Hisaki tells his old self to fix his uniform and take a shower, but First Draft Hisaki asks him when he got that stick up his ass. Apparently, Current Hisaki has been asked this before. Seems to be a trend.

I finished it. Current Yasha meets First Draft Yasha. I wonder who I should draw next 🤔

#comics #webcomics #manga #kuroshouri #oc #ocsky #art
A 4-panel comic featuring the first draft version of my character, Yasha, who definitely looks very special for someone claiming to be a normal girl. In the comic, First Draft Yasha tells Current Yasha that she has the ability to control the demonic powers within her, and she also has a boyfriend. Current Yasha is especially annoyed with the boyfriend part and threatens to beat up the creators.

Day 99 of posting art ‘til my hand is healed. It’s Jordan! Poor girl has been lifted from two separate webcomic ideas and she still doesn’t have a home. One day, friend. One day you’ll have a comic home ;w;

Day 98 of posting art ‘til my hand is healed. The redraw! Bisexual lighting works so much better. And also just a much less busy picture. Now, someone poke me with a stick until I make more Beholder art, yes?

#oc #ocsky #beholder
A digital illustration. In the foreground, a woman crying but looking forward, furious. In the background, a long hallway with a figure beckoning toward her. The entire piece is done in blue and pink lighting. The text is the logo for the comic, it says "Beholder."

A birthday present for @darkhalo4321.bsky.social! Her character Taryn from an upcoming comic project 👀
Please, if you can, go say happy birthday to her! She deserves it!

Taryn, a character from the comic The Vampire Lord's Retainer, looking at the camera and smiling. The picture is done in manga-style with screentones and everything.

Day 97 of posting art ‘til my hand is healed. Oh hey, some Beholder art, for once! This piece just doesn’t quite work, but that’s okay, because that’s what the redraw is for! ...which I will show tomorrow!

#oc #ocsky #beholder
A woman with short hair and a blue cyber-eye looking furiously at the camera and crying. She is in intense red and blue lighting and behind her is a fire and some electrical sparks.

Finally working on another one of these. But I have to go slow as to not overwhelm my hand, so I gotta wait a day or two before I can ink it fully. ;o; But I wanna finish and show it nowwwww 😭
#comics #webcomics #manga #kuroshouri #oc #ocsky
A digital manga 4-panel comic in which the character Hisaki's original look and personality is introduced. Current Hisaki interacts with First Draft Hisaki and as expected, it doesn't go well.

Day 96 of posting art ‘til my hand is healed. The redraw of yesterday’s artwork! Drew this for the 18th anniversary, and let me tell you, it felt good to fix up everyone to the way they’re supposed to look and act, haha.

#oc #ocsky #kuroshouri
An illustration of several characters interacting with each other. They seem to be located within a desert. The text says Kuro Shouri 18 Year Anniversary.

2 weeks from today, we will be at @bakuretsucon.bsky.social ! Just look for the purple table with the Viking Cat Creations table runner. :>
This was our table from last year. I think we can outdo it, yes yes?
A half-table convention booth, with a runner that says Viking Cat Creations. There are books, stickers, prints, and mystery bags. Posing behind the table are the couple who run this weird business.

Trying to ease back into drawing now. I inked for a half an hour only, and my hand did start to settle back into it, thankfully.
Got quite a bit done, but unfortunately I'm staring at one of the characters and I'm like 🤔I need to start from scratch with you, sir!!

A work-in-progress screenshot of a teenage boy character doing something determinedly. It is currently in the inks stage.
