100 Day March: Comic Making Challenge (Week 01)

 Starting a new project called 100 Day March.  The goal is to make a Beautiful Beast Kiss Chapter 03 Comic of 24 pages.  Top is the Characters ruff sketches, Middle is thumb version of pages 01-03, and Bottom is pages 04-06.  I try to get all of the story out in this thumbnail form with just the ruffest of drawings and written text.  I'm also recording the process on my Youtube Channel. With the final Deadline being mid to late June... Let's Go!

Beautiful Beast Kiss and Friends Adobe Illustrator Project

 BBK and Friends (left to right, Moon Tiger, Beautiful Beast Kiss, Mockton, Starbot) Group was fun to make, as I try to get better in the program Illustrator.  I'm learning and the practice is good and best of all they are coming out really well.  Group shots can be difficult to get everyone feeling unique and in character, so that was fun. So here is my work flow phases, bottom to top, sketch, lines in illustrator, wireframe (I just thought this was cool), and finally Colors.

In the coming weeks I should be showing Comic Work

Beautiful Beast Kiss Year of the Snake Final

 This one has been a long road, but this is normal for me.  Nearly everything I make goes through phases and this is the final for Beautiful Beast Kiss Year of the Snake.  Bottom is how I make/test colors using a neutral gray backdrop for color tests and using the swatches on the side. Made using Adobe illustrator as I try to get better and faster at the program.

Take a deep breath... now on to the next one.

Beautiful Beast Kiss and Friends

 I love these characters.  I've been putting Beautiful Beast Kiss and Friends through their paces, and I'm having a really good time. I like the team dynamics.

I think I'm learning a lot and finding a groove artistically, good times.

I gotta get back to it.

See ya next week!

Beautiful Beast Kiss Year of the Snake Tight Pencils

 Made some fixes for her arm and tighten it up.  Now she is starting to look like the character I know and love. I'm thinking if I should ink it by hand or illustrator or both... hm.

Later

Beautiful Beast Kiss Year of the Snake Ruff Sketch

 Trying to get back into the swing of things in the new year.

Happy New Year

 Happy New Year!

Hope everyone's Holiday season was great.

Now we start a new year and I think the focus for me is to get better at Digital Art.

So let's kick off the year of the snake.

Lore the Prisoner Ink Project Final

 

Illustration tells the story of how Lore was cursed by a Unicorn.

Ink Final is when it all comes together and I threw everything I had at this one.  Spot blacks, ink wash, ink textures, fingerprints texture, white out, and white splatters with a toothbrush to make the stars.  This part was really Fun.

Happy Holidays where ever you are. Enjoy time with your friends, family, and food!

Lore the Prisoner Ink Project: Ink Outlines

 Ink Outlines, this was one of the longest parts, so I had to chop it up into shorter sprints to get it done. The armor scales on the Cursed Unicorn and the Skulls took a lot of time but got em done.  I think with the outlines done it feels like the final image is coming into view.

Next Up: the Final Image

Lore the Prisoner Ink Project: Tight Pencils

 One Holiday down, more to go. Hope everyone had fun.

So Anyway, this Tight Pencils phase was long, getting all of details in took some time (those Unicorn scales were time consuming).. but the results were all that matters.  It looks good and contains all of the elements that I wanted to include.  Now, it's starting the Ink Process.

Next up: Ink Outlines

See ya next week

Lore the Prisoner Ink Project: Sketch

 Lore the Prisoner Illustration is starting to shape up.  Most of the elements are there, and I can see the vision. Now, it's time to push it to the finish line.

Next up Tight Pencils.

[Note: Next week is Thanksgiving Holiday so we will resume on December 6th.]

Lore the Prisoner Ink Project: Ink Sketch

 Lore Prisoner Ink Sketch, to try and figure out the composition and figure placement.  This image has all of the elements I just need to adjust the composition for 11x17 inch format.

Next week: Pencils

Lore the Prisoner Ink Project: Concept

 The new project is Lore the Prisoner.  I want to practice everything that I learned from a month of inking to this project.

So, for the concept, I want a full body image of Lore, in a dark prison cell with a monstrous unicorn relief behind the character.

Let's Go!

HBH Project Characters: Hidden

 Hidden: Inking process.  For this on I went ink wash with textures and an old brush and correction fluid for details and highlights.  

So what is his story, well... he is a mystery, even to the group.  Hide or the Hidden is a cursed man, and a great danger to others which causes him to shy away from people.

However, Dog finds him living in a trash can, and wanting to help, brings food whenever he can.  Eventually, Hidden came to live on the fringes of the crew, mostly because he smells very unpleasant, but he has a joyful spirit, though he doesn't say much.  

In terms of the crew, only Dog and Love have seen his true form, and Love loves him , but she loves everyone, and gives him a flower every time she sees him. Dog, doesn't know what to make of him in his true form as it doesn't seem that odd, but hide has a calm aura, and (when Hide is clean) Dog is just content to hang out for hours, both not speaking.

As for Kerberos, he can turn down his smell receptors and will have long one side conversation while doing maintenance  on himself and his weapons.  Fatal and Hidden ... don't really interact and when she is around Hide, Hides.

That is the Main Cast of Heaven Between Hell
