You know - my younger self always wondered: why doesn't every panel look as cool as the cover? Well, because then we'd only have zero finished comic books. Covers cost 🕣

I'm remaking the cover for my graphic novel "lil". This is work in progress and only a small part of the illustration.

I recently started using G-Pen, instead of the fuzzy pencil I favored before. And now I'm obsessing with lineart. It's really hard to stop myself.

Just a quick "hi" from the drawing board. Still so much to do tomorrow. Background for starters, folds for finish. Have a great Sunday.

Hi there, this is the latest page from my project "life in loops". I will stick to lineart and only use greyscale on backgrounds. Now I just have to rework the 6 pages I already did...

Having a simple brick background=great.
Drawing bricks for two hours=mid ;)

I like the lineart on its own even better. I might continue with just lineart and remake some of my old panels ^^ again

Probably my favorite panel so far - and such a side character. But I feel like I'm getting closer to finding my style. It only took 3 years ;)

Today was a good day. I spent all morning on the 3rd draft of the script for lil:o, and all afternoon and evening drawing.
****
This is the 3rd panel on page 07; the sound/fx is still wip ;)
And somewhere inbetween I even found time to eat!

Just some morning thoughts:
*****
I like to paint, but it seems I attract not enough interest in my project (lil:o - graphic novel) by my artworks alone.
-
Perhaps I should focus on writing, because that's my main strength. Maybe an artist will want to pick up the story, but how do I get it seen?

Folds and fur can be a statement. How I draw them is an artistic decision and an exploration.

And usually, as soon as I post anything here, I see some flaw.

Hiii - I can't believe I'm already working on page Seven! And this panel reveals my story takes place in the not so distant future. A.I. plays a role, but more than that Augmented Reality, and being tricked by an evil creator, i.e. Gnosticism.

As you can maybe tell I grew up with Franco-Belgian comics. Not my own though, because my parents wanted me to read -"real books". Anyhow this is the cover in color, enjoy :)

I wanted to create my cover, but ended up iterating the sketch. That's not how you do it, but now I have this.

Patience is a virtue, and it's not always easy to have. I spent the entire morning fixing this panel, because that's a lot more work, after masking layers and greyscale are done. That's s why the sketching phase is the most important one.

lil:o - page 4 finished.

Okay, a few panels aren't up to expectations yet (does Eve look horsefaced on the last one?), but I've been moving at incredible speed on this page. Time for a break.

About three years ago I quit my office job, after recovering from emergency surgery and realizing all I want to do is to draw and write. Almost every day since then was a learning experience, and I bow my head to everyone who is illustrating.

I read some philosophy, but not a lot sticks. However, I recently read about the three filters of Socrates (469-399 b.c.)

1. Truth
2. Goodness
3. Usefulness

Ok, I've finished the prolog for lil:override. And I'm excited to continue, but let's celebrate this new start. It took me 11 months to rewrite a story that was essentially finished, and now I'll illustrate it.

The idea:

"I want to create simple panels, so I can progress quickly with my story."

(...)

My brain: NO!

the background here is still the sketch, so I might change that

I just came up with a really bad thanksgiving riddle!

What do you call a turkey from Quebec?

Here is a view at a wip-page. Stickfigures are the way to start, then comes a sketch, then sleep - and the next day redrawing the sketch (in vectors). It's maddening that I need this process, but it's the only way, or else everything looks skewed.

I'm just toying around with layout and panelling, because I've made a print layout only once before. I think this is a good look. What do you think? Let me know😀

My goal is to create a panel a day. Some panels are a joy to make, some are not. I'm still not sure about the blood here, but I usually fix things the next day. Sleep helps ;)

These images will make much more sense in sequence - because it's a comic ;), but it feels good to post my progress. Bluesky and your comments are a great motivation. So please indulge me. I just love creating things. (especially when there's Capybara involved)
