Had a little time today so i decided to finally go back and fix up that picture of Jade I did ages ago but never finished. So here she is, with the rest of the Homestuck girls (that I’ve done so far)

Drawing for a challenge on the PA Artists Forum; to draw outside your comfort zones. Mono-width inking! vibrant colours! DETAIL (shudder). It was fun!

Lexxy’s End of Act 5 Assets PART ONE!

I decided to break up my work for the flash into two parts, since cramming everything into one would’ve made for a photo set twice this size and I don’t think that would load nicely or look very nice.

SO!

I’ll kick things off with my first and finest contribution: Godtier Jade! Andrew was kind enough to leave the design of her new outfit up to me, so I started with one that was really close to an old sketch I started and it just kind of evolved from there as I got more feedback. I wish I could take credit for the ruby slippers idea (that was all Andrew), but the striped socks were what gave him the idea in the first place, so the Wizard of Oz homage was a joint effort.

You’ll notice she does not, in fact, have a tail. Andrew didn’t want to take the dog influence quite that far, so she’s just a human girl with cute, fluffy dog ears. That doesn’t mean you can’t draw her that way though! I’ve seen a few fanarts that included one, and it’s really cute!

My favorite iteration of her outfit is #5 with the cropped tunic, which is the way I’m going to draw it from here on out (outside of the comic). We ended up going with number 3 because there was more precedent for a longer tunic, but given the other two kids’ designs, I think that much variation in length could have worked! Still, I’m very happy with the way her design turned out, and so is the fandom judging by all the feedback I’ve seen! I have so many adorable Godtier Jade fanarts to my MSPA folder today it’s unreal <3

Anyway, once the final design was settled upon, I got to work on the digital painting. Andrew wanted it to be a really dramatic reveal, so I went all out with a hand-painted background (based off a portion of the Eagle nebula) and dramatic lighting, ultimately resulting in the first image you see. It took me a long time to finish, though, which meant rushing through my other assets, but I think it was worth it.

And speaking of my other assets, stay tuned for Part Two!

welp, that needs a reblog. Goddamn, woman! Super work.

In memoriam: 1927 – 2011

Kanpire, now with weird background … I have no idea why I went in this direction, it was kind of the opposite from what was originally intended, but I like the colours. Also kan got kind of a rough deal, overall. I like the idea she comes back as a badass.

welp, I was really planning on finishing this tonight, but as usual I guess I got overly ambitious and it’s going to take a lot longer. Anyway, have a sneak peak.

I don’t know how many of you are familiar with the Gangbunch comics and art collective? We used to pal around, back in the day. Got a few members you might have heard of.

I ask because Gangbunch veteran and webcomic entrepreneur Tauhid “T” Bondia is asking for help - not for himself, but for his man behind the scenes, the coding wizard who makes Epicsplosion and Epicsploitation a reality. The details are on his site, but the upshot is that T came to the ol’ Gangbunch bunch-gang and asked for original art to sell for the donation-drive. You can check the results out here.

I left basically all my originals from earlier times back in Australia, and have been largely working digitally since moving to germany - so I had to resort to actually drawing something new to give to him. Specifically, a pen-and-ink-wash sketch of Tripp Roguestar - detail shown above. I used to work a lot with ink, but normally now I use a combination of hand-painting and digital rendering, in a kind of iterative print-paint-scan process. Not really the spirit of things here, so I had to go back to basics with this one and try not to fuck up along the way.
