SlimyBits drew over 60 characters of Newgrounds users in halloween costumes of their choosing, that's pretty cool!
Maybe there's a familiar face in here..

Mogu thought he was being clever, failing to consider the giant, prehensile extra limb.

#digitalart #oc #comic #webcomic #manga #monstergirl
Lago and her adoptive father Mogu discuss an old sword that belonged to her master. Mogu claims that she will be allowed to keep it, as soon as she grew tall enough to pull it out in one go. Lago struggles to unsheathe the large claymore with her puny arms, but soon switches to her prehensile tail to draw the weapon fully, with a defiant look on her face. Mogu didn't account for that possibility and hastily announces that her tail doesn't count, while his son Emil laughs at the whole situation.

A party of gnomes, ready for adventure!!

Graphite on 8"x10" archival paper

Drawn for Sketchathon! Going live now with more!! twitch.tv/stevesketches
A graphite drawing of four gnomes: a wizard, fighter, priest, and a thief. Oft underestimated for their stature and habilimentary habits, few are better prepared for delving into the deep dark of the Underrealm.

Mighty Goose is our epic run & gun shooter starring a bounty hunter Goose!

YES, that sounds incredibly silly, but make no mistake: This is our love letter to the genre, with a very big wink ;)

Check out the trailer and LET LOOSE THE GOOSE!! #gamedev #pixelart (links 👇)

Mara Forest from the retro survival horror game Crow Country! May be my favorite game of 2024 so far, so I drew her to celebrate the Switch and asia release.

Lago's jaw tail isn't based on any creature she encountered, so it looks a bit sloppy. According to Lago, her master is able to create a much larger version that could crush buildings..

Just completed Silksong and adored every second of it, this little bug world really strikes a cord with my heart. Other metroidvanias will have a hard time impressing me now, this kind of game only comes along once every 5-10 years.

I haven't drawn grown-up Lago in a while, so here goes. Felt good to work on something more detailed inbetween comic pages.
Even with references, abs are still tricky to get right, huh.

I made a simple rpg system to keep track of strengths and weaknesses for my characters, it's easy to manage and modify.

Their japanese names use basic katakana (RaGo, EMiRu, ShiFu) so it should be alright, but let me know if I wrote anything bad on there.

Lago, Emil and Sif pose with their printed-out rpg character sheets. Sif notices that "rambunctious" is one of her traits and asks what that word means. Her father replies that it describes her continuous efforts to keep him alert. Sif, failing to understand that "rambunctious" may be a negative trait, assures her father that she will keep it up.

Seeing all those indies delaying their games because of Silksong is very relatable to me. A few years back when we were developing Itorah at Grimbart Tales, we also had this same fear. Glad this age-old sword of damocles is finally gone!

Emil looks so much better now, with his hair visible under the hood.

Another mystery solved.
Emil's character design kinda fell behind the other two, so I updated him a bit. Even I didn't know what was under that hood until I made this comic..

#digitalart #oc #comic #webcomic #manga #monstergirl
Sif wants to find out what is hiding under Emils hood and recruits Lago as a distraction. Emil's hairstyle is revealed as Sif sneaks up on him and pulls his hood down. Lago pretends to see his hair for the first time, prompting an annoyed Emil to point out the fact that they share the same bedroom and that she should've seen his hair before. Sif just stares at him, seemingly satisfied with her discovery.
