Chapter 8 work continues!!! >:D Here's our guy!
The final image in the sequence is Ananth's original thumbnail for me. We don't have a stand-in model of the gladiator's helmet but I feel like I have a pretty good grasp of how that one looks in a 3D space since it's more or less a cylinder with bull horns.
One quirk I have about Le...

I'm deep in inking chapter 8! This one has been really fun, since Ananth wound up thumbnailing the majority of the chapter in CSP with 3D models. It's been really exciting working like this, he has a good visual eye for body language and visual flow.
Here's some panels I inked yesterday!!!! It's been fun to draw Percy in this chapter, she'...

Just as a general update, chapter 8 is written, thumbnailed, and partially pencilled! :D
As always, Ananth will give me a mess of fashion touchstones with the chapter script and I'll make a mess of paper dolls of the characters for how they'll look in the chapter.
Percy's going to have one primary look in the chapter...

YAYYY it was so much fun to work on this while streaming, thank you to everyone who showed up on such short notice! If you couldn't make it, I'll try to do this again another time!
Special thanks to Ananth for thumbnailing this one for me, I think this came out very fun!
I also added the stream-requested mesh shirt alt version haha. ...

Ahh my rigged Vtuber has appeared!!!
Delta did SUCH a nice clean job with it, the animation tracks my face and matches my mouth and eye movements and everything!! They smile when I smile, I'm so charmed 💖💖 (If you're interested in doing vtubing and want someone to do all the Live2D/Vtuber Studio hard work for you 2023-02-10 02:30:21 +0000 UTC View Post
Now that the book is out, I wanted to share the cover progress for the Lucky Penny Color edition!
The first batch of thumbnails is what we sent to the publisher to see what direction they might want to push the cover in. The original (book-market) version of the book had a lot of right angles and I thought it might be nice to do something ...

I saw that photo of the three cats the other day and wanted to riff on it lol
In having mandatory work-less-don't-look-at-screens time while I finish recovering, I've had a bit more time to roll around on the floor thinking about Walking Gods. It's kind of my natural state, to revert into that 15-year-old mindset and play with my cool doll...

OH I'd forgotten we never shared my original design sketch for Ruby! I wanted to keep her first appearance a secret until she was revealed in the comic. This was the reference drawing I had for Ruby and Cecilia's Chapter 7 appearances, plus the reference I put together for their outfits.
For Ruby, I wanted to give her a bit of a Farrah Faw...

A while back I redesigned an old old old character of mine and I wanted to try my hand at drawing him more nicely. I tend to do really tight pencils and wanted to see how it would go having really loose pencils and just make stuff up as it goes. I'm happy with the result!
I colored this in Clip Studio, you can usually tell the things I col...

I've been trying really hard to be better about laying down all dialogue before doing any finished art (to prevent anything important/fun being covered) — but it's still deeply sad to me every time I have to cover up Cameron's legs.
I think the final panel of this page was truly where I realized I love Cameron and drawing Cameron, ...

After playing Elden Ring I was hoping to either start an Elden Ring NG+ *OR* go play Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Ananth since he's played.
Unfortunately after attempting the OoT ocarina music controls on Switch I realized the game was slightly unplayable with the joycons (and also all switch-compatible N64 controllers have been sold out for...

I promised I'd do this so here it is!!! The thumbnails for page 7, where I had to learn how to manipulate characters inside 3D sets, couldn't do it and wound up kludging it very badly. IT WORKED OUT FINE IN THE END, JUST DON'T ROTATE ANYTHING
I don't think I would've been able to do this scene quite as nicely without the model of this bar(...

YAYYYY the Johnny Wander shop has updated! I'm so glad our acrylic standees are now available in our shop - as well as a bunch of postcard prints and some pins that were available in our Wander Kickstarter campaign!

For real, the bar scene had me sweating going into it.... I've become much more confident at environments in the past years and 3D models have made things 100000x easier, but still!! I'll show the 3D model breakdown of this one later, maybe when I do all this will seem way less harrowing, but let me tell you: setting up the 3D models for this sc...
