This is not this month's tutorial, lol, just a random tutorial since I'm putting a lot of pins on backing cards and I also enjoy optimization and stabbing things.
For anyone who's wondering, backing cards are literally just business cards; you can buy them in various sizes and thicknesses to back your pins with just for a bit of display oomph. Th...

Here I come to pump some bullet(point)s into you
So drama
So far the storyline of what's going on in the Northern Territories has been limited to what's going on in this one family, and the questionably-reliable news that's being filtered down to various characters. Ulyer lives pretty far away so I guess we'll be seeing more of the outside world, and so will our opinionated (but sheltered) prin...

Since I'm here and updating, some rough pencils I did on the plane yesterday (I'm up early today too to keep working on this page). Cut off the bottom cuz I didn't like it, but yeah, a look at what the page looks like at the uncut "I wish I could draw the way my imagination looks" phase... I always get these sweeping landscape ideas in my head and ...

Pasori names are often a historical record of events: time, need, or acquisitions. In times of bounty, names might have more traditional acquisition-meanings such as "five seals" or "axehead," or names that remind the parents of recent good luck, in hopes of drawing it back. In leaner situations, names might be more plaintive: naming a son "gun" or...

Just a WIP of the upcoming page~
I really like lettering! I love playing with opacity and color and density and all the other dimensions of the word bubble that is outside of simple text content and placement. Dagre's bubbles are especially fun for several reasons... first, just cuz I thought they would have raspy voices, and so they have raspy b...

Hi guys! Thank you for your patience the last few weeks, I haven't been posting as much here because I'm getting like half a dozen big projects off the ground in serious ways (and have spent about $8k doing it, someone please call the police I am robbing myself).

Someone asked for a larger view of this image, so here you go~
The fish is based off of extinct Placoderms, they have some really fun designs so I riffed off a couple of them
For clarity, here's the image without all the water stuff on it, it's a bit less dramatic, but you can see those beefy Wollarian jaw muscles at work

One of my favorite recent pages!
One reason is obviously cuz Kalla, but the other is due to the composition, which is actually a new one for me (at least, reading it this way). I overuse long vertical panels for physical drops because the directionality forces you to "feel" the drop with your eyes (the only regularly-shaped alternate I can think ...

A comparison of all the pages! If you were at the Saturday stream, you probably saw that I spent almost the entire time on bubble placement. On a page like this it's important that the flow of the panels makes sense (of course), that the flow of the text inside the panels also is tiered and makes sense, that the camera angles aren't flopping all ov...

There's one last town before the Northern wilderness starts for good, the deep forest where if you start walking you'll never find the end of it. You can't see the animals that live in those woods, but you can hear them howling.
Some things have changed since you were a kid; the bridge is stone now, and there's a post to hang a light to guide you...
