Character lineup

Working on some character lineups for the webcomic!

Lacuna Break character Age studies

I'm plugging away on my upcoming webcomic Lacuna Break and did some character age studies I wanted to share.


Eris mid 20's vs tweens

Amelia late 20's vs teens

Galett mid 20's vs tweens

Nayya mid 40's vs late teens

This was a super fun exercise to do in-between working on pages! Can't wait to share this story with everyone :)

Space Mechanics

My friend Molly ( http://www.passingfair.com/ ) and I were working on a short story project a few months ago. We ended up shelving it for various reasons, but it would be fun to come back to it someday in the future maybe. Here's some of the character designs I did for it. It was basically a story about space mechanics solving a mystery!

Here's the final line-up of the main cast:

Alta is a mechanic who worked on spaceship hulls, I flip-flopped between short hair and long hair, but with Molly's help we ended up with the long haired version:

Talmit is a mechanic who works on the interiors of spaceships:

The commander was in charge of everything on the space-station that both he and Alta live on:

I had a lot of fun creating these characters and working with Molly, hopefully we'll revive this someday or work on something else in the future.

Sparring

Working on a comic with these two. Nothing like a friendly sparring match :)

Obi

I've been watching Snow White With the Red Hair on Hulu and I love this show... I love all the characters but my favorite is Obi. He's the best one. ❤

You should go watch the show yourself, I highly recommend it!

From Shadows: 5 page excerpt

While going through art archives I realized I never posted an old 5 page excerpt of the comic From Shadow I've been working on. The story and characters have gone through some changes, so I won't be using these pages AT ALL in the final iteration of this story. I thought it would be fun to post these though as I haven't done so.

To set you up, Sadie, the main character has a living shadow named Athena, however no one but Sadie knows about Athena and as far as she's concerned her own mind made up Athena to cope with the tragic and sudden loss of her immediate family when she was younger. She now bounces around from relative to relative, never getting attached to or staying in one place for very long. The town she ends up in has been going through a bout of murders by someone the locals have named the "Prowler" as they strike at night in public places when they're deserted, preying on people who are alone. Below is an old in-process cover, a character line-up, and 5 pages that were originally meant to be pages 6-10.

I've learned a lot craft-wise since drawing this, and I can't wait till I have new pages to compare these against. This story is gonna be a lot of fun to get into again!

Otome Horror Game: The main character's best friend

Continuing my character designs for the Otome Horror Game I'm working on with a small team of 4, here's the main character's best friend!

She's more stylish and fashion savvy than the main character, she's also got a bit of an attitude. She's smart and good at evaluating situations and people in a calculated way.

If you wanna meet the main character head of to this entry here:

Here's my rough first pass at her design:

Horror Otome game main character

I'm currently working on a Horror Otome game with a small team of 4! I'll be designing all the characters, and writing the story outline.

Naturally I'm designing the main character first! She's spunky to say the least, not letting her horrible situation get her down. She's an athlete who always has a happy smile on her face, and she never gives up!

I wanted her to be really colorful and cute, but also have a comfortable outfit. Here's my rough pass at the first 5 ideas I had for her outfit.

Work on "FROM SHADOW" continues

I've super busy these past few months. Including a huge life change that involved me moving and getting a job which I'll be making a separate post about soon. For now I wanted to update you on the current illustration I'm working on from one of my current pitch projects, "From Shadow". Yes I actually have a name for it now and that is exciting because titles are always tricky.

Anyway, here's an excerpt from the current illustration below:

More updates to come!

Too Kawaii To Die Volume 4 is out!

I have had the privilege of being a part of the 'Too Kawaii To Die' zine since volume 1, and now volume 4 is out! It's full of comics and illustrations that both celebrate and subvert cute anime stereotypes and Japanese culture which often results in terrifying, sad or grotesque monstrosities, but in a good way.

The tumblr post for volume 4 has all the download links you'll need! HERE! It's not available for print yet, but if it is in the future I'll be sure to keep you all in the loop!

Below is 2 out of the 5 illustrations I did for the zine.

SHADOW character illustration

Illustration finished! I wanted to be able to introduce the three main characters of my pitch project in color, so here they are! Glenn, Sadie, and Cain, and behind them is Athena, Sadie's Shadow.
Originally I had thought about using this as the cover but decided against it.

More news on this project in the future!

PANACEA cover and 8 page preview!

I worked on a short story for a competition and finally got around to doing the cover after I finished the story and submitted it. It was fun to revisit these characters who I hadn't seen in awhile. The cover preview is below!

There's sketches on a post from awhile ago if you're interested, you should definitely check it out.

I know I did a post with the first 4 pages as a preview, I tweaked the pages a little since then, and I wanted to give you a slightly longer preview, so here's the first 8 pages!

 

 

 

 

I want to post the whole thing online! ...but I'm not sure how to go about it yet. In the meantime I hope you enjoyed the preview! Find out what happens to Kanna in the full version of PANACEA!
