Making art feels impossible for me atm. but then I thought about making Name-Tag-Stickers for my nephews / nieces and suddenly I could draw again. I even had fun designing different crests. Maybe doing something for a specific person does something with my brain?

I‘m in a horrible phase of art-block atm. Not trying to do any challenges this October, but maybe a prompt here and there. Just trying to get back into drawing. This one is #crown from the #inktober list.

Some hairstyle experiments for my main character. It’s unnecessary to color them but its so fun!

Another exploration.
Since my comic will be in black and white, I need to be more bold with bringing black into the designs.

Besides working on my comic, I do a lot of vector-illustrations for clients. See more on my website stephanlorse.eu

An attempt to redesign my main-character.
The design is still not vibing with me but I'm also very uncertain about the style. This might be too "realistic" in proportion and in textures.
BUT! I like the wings on her headpiece. Gonna keep them for now! XD

I need to "loosen up" the character-designs for my comic. I want them to be more fun and a bit silly. This is very hard to do for my main cast, so I decided to design some side characters because this might be less pressure. I think I'm in the right track! I like this fella!

Some studies.
On the left, I wanted to simplify stonewall and on the right forest. I find it very hard to get the texture of forest right and not just scribble a huge area of visual noise. QxQ

I got valuable feedback concerning my comic.
Basically I have to rework some things. Some is technical and fairly easy to improve upon but some has to do with my style and goes very much into kind of a "gut feeling territory". aka Not so easy!

Fun little #Hedgehog I drew once for a mother's-day-card.

I've decided to discontinue my Ramen-Stickerpacks.
The packaging is made of tea-bags and reused paper/cardboard and takes a lot of time to craft.
(Time I need for working on my comic for the foreseeable future .)

You can find them at: stephanlorse.etsy.com

Back to storyboarding!
I finished the script for the first volume and now I want to draw the storyboard up to this point as well. That'll give me the chance to gather feedback for the whole volume before committing to draw the final pages.

Got a copy of the new Manga-Magazin "Issho" today.
It's a collaboration between 4 European publishers and features European artists. I think it's pretty cool!

I just submitted my application for funding!!!
Very proud of drawing the first 7 pages of this project. It took me over a year to develop the story and it's so unreal to see this turning into an actual comic!

Sneak peak: This is the first establishing shot.

Finished a page today! Only one to go for the proposal!

Here is a sneak peak of what I'm working on.
Writing the story and dialogues in German since this is way easier for me. But there will be an English version for sure!

Now I need to do some stretches.

A Witch is camping in the clouds, enjoying the view.
The fields were quite the test for my patience. XD
I turned this one into a free phone wallpaper.

I was just vibing when illustrating this one. Very meditative to draw a bunch of trees. I made a phone-wallpaper out of this one: ko-fi.com/stephanlorse...
