Sometimes I forget I find inking is so satisfying #wip

Not silly! You work hard and it doesn't hurt to reach out when you can!

Last expression sheet! Gotta sketch some vehicle designs and then gonna start working on pages

Yukino Miyazawa - Model Student, Queen of Vanity

Sometimes a good ol' 90s anime is just the vibes I'm looking for

More expression design-work on some side characters. These were pretty fun! I really like how they turned out. I just need to do a little bit more with the two lead characters and some vehicle and bg designs and I think in March I'll be starting pencils on pages :000

Some character exploration with expressions

Some character design exercises for my project. A bunch of biker goons! Will most likely need to simplify their details/overall style but it was fun trying to get a feel for them first

That's kind of what I've heard. I might add it to my list of shows to watch but I'm trying to finish the last season at least. All Might's been great this season so I'm enjoying him the most

And then the story wants to end the final battle as a empathetic look into the villains sad tragic mind but I'm so annoyed by him that I feel nothing. Maybe you shouldn't watch MHA for the first time as a 33 year old this clearly wasn't made for me but the animation is great so I want to like it

"My dad was a perfectionist and an honestly shitty guy and I wanted to please his high expectations but he wanted me to stop using my powers because they were unstable. Turns out he was right, I blew myself up and almost died. Therefore I must kill my siblings and destroy Japan." Huh??

Trying very hard to like My Hero Academia but all the villains are like "society is corrupt and bad and ruined my life therefore it must be destroyed" but when they tell you their backstory it just proves that they 100% ruined their own life and never self reflected once

Truly this company just keeps showing how little it cares about it's user-base. I dropped Adobe when the AI stuff was coming out but I always hoped they'd get it together. Seems they still do not care for the creators who pay to use their programs. It's just hit after hit of untrustworthiness

Some prop design exploration from today

Comic thumbnails are DONE

Honorable mention

If I really went through my old files I could probably find soooo many Yuna & Kawachan episodes where I used that exact face from the third image in my thumbnails

More WIP comic panels

The past 3 years working on a series with vehicles is coming in clutch for drawing rn thank you, Pupstruction

Your coloring is so good! I feel like maintaining good color/details is so hard with a comic schedule but you've always had such a nice eye for detail in your work. And the right panel feels so warm in comparison too!

Hi again, #portfolioday!

I'm a storyboard and comic artist based in Brooklyn, NY with 10+ years in animation. Previously at Titmouse as a storyboard rev, now looking for work in animation, comics, or illustration. I'm also done a lot of commercial work and produced an original comic for Webtoon!

A lot of us have actually made a webcomic ring called Chimera Comics after we left hiveworks: chimeracomics.org

This isn't the full list as some artists want their hands completely washed of the situation, but this is a start!

Second pass of thumbnails aka actually drawing them digitally instead of just in a sketchbook is going well. I forgot how much I love this loosey goosey stage

Thank yoooou I feel like posting WIPs is the only way I can keep myself accountable and actually get this ball rolling cuz I am totally my own worst critic these days

I feel so very rusty after the holidays but I'm getting back into it!

A very "first pass" design for characters for my personal project comic. Think "southwest Route 66 fantasy". They just need a lot of cleaning up and probably some simplification in their style so I don't die finishing this project

I just need to finish typing up the second draft of my comic script and then I'm mentally checking out for the rest of the year @_@

A very American Girl holiday! Finishing off the year with my comfort girls since it's been a while
