Grimoire Dramatic

MiaUniformConceptCOLOR

This was some concept stuff for the school uniforms at the private school that the characters attend. I really like the design but I don't think it really jives with the story or this characters sense of style. But still it was fun to make. Who knows, maybe I'll use it somewhere along the way- Winter uniforms? 

I'm still working out a lot of kinks considering their school... it's changed a lot along the way. I think some of the issues had to do with the story taking place in a fictional American city... and American schools don't implement school uniforms... but I LOVE designing/drawing school uniforms... so now it's a private school cause that's the only way I can justify it. Okay that's not COMPLETELY true, there's a lot of other reasons why it had to be a private school, so the uniforms were a nice bonus.

Still working on my MICC entry! Over 1/4th of the way through! I can't wait till it's done, it's actually turning out pretty good if I do say so myself.

Everyone Is Friends
And these guys... this is basically how they all work together as of now. Just a quick sketch to illustrate their relationships, they're a pretty good group of friends. The two guys have been friends the longest, they're pretty good bros.

Hooded Shadow Fight

Hood
More stuff from my work in progress 2nd webcomic. This girl is the main character, although I may switch up the narrative so we'll see. She's definitely fun to draw.

Shadow Fight
She really likes to fight and has excellent hand to hand combat skills... this has gotten her in trouble more than once to be sure... she's a tomboy who wouldn't wear skirts if she didn't have to since they're impractical, so she wears shorts under her skirt. If she needs to high-kick someone she doesn't want be embarrassed by her attire.


Man this week was crazy... I've been so busy and the deadline for the MICC is coming up soon. I plan to post at least the first 10 pages here so you can read it :) I want to find a way to post it online in it's entirety eventually. A way to do that may be to do updates on the Transpose Operator site or something. I want to make a site for short stories but since I only have 1 that's presentable and a million other things to do I'm not sure when that's gonna happen but it's on the "to do" check list.

Grimoire Story Sketches

GroupPoseWhite

I've been working on the story with these guys for quite some time. I have a TON of sketches of them that I've been dying to show off for about a year now... however until I have more time and more of the details hammered out I won't be able to work on the website and content for this comic for who knows how long. But I can tell you that it's going to be the 2nd webcomic that I publish(After Transpose Operator) and update regularly... And it's going to be in color(that's the plan anyway).

GroupPoseRed

it's just a matter of time before it happens... which basically means once I'm far enough ahead in Transpose Operator I can start working on this, but I'm going to be honest I can see it taking me at least a year if not longer to debut it. The donate button for Transpose Operator could make or break my plans for this story coming out sooner, but It's not even up yet so we'll see... and 3 updates a week for Transpose Operator is more important to me right now than having another comic to worry about.

GroupFight

I'm not sure how many details I'll be posting but I plan to upload more images for this story-Which doesn't have a title yet- I've just been calling it "Grimoire Story" for over a year now since that's basically what the focus of the story so it's the working title atm.
A lot of things for it are still very flexible right now as you can see from the images above too.

MiaRileyJamesReadyColor

I can tell you that the characters in this story are younger than the Transpose Operator characters, it's basically about a group of high school kids... which I know, I know, we've all heard THAT story before... but trust me on this, I'm trying my hardest to make it something different.

I'll probably be posting more art for this story since there is a lot of it, so look forward to seeing more of these guys!

The End of Chapter 2!

Today marks the last page of chapter 2… but don’t despair there’s going to be the question and answer section coming up! I was able to answer all the submitted questions so if you asked questions on the site or through email look forward to being featured in the extra pages.

There will also be some guest pages, a short week long break, and then chapter 3 will start back up in October! I’ll make sure to keep you all updated with the exact date that Chapter 3 will debut on when it draws near. In the meantime I’ll be posting art to my blog and should have a few new things up for the site in conjunction with Chapter 3 coming online, so there’s going to be all sorts of fun stuff to look forward to!

Character sketches

These guys don't belong to any particular story, they're just fun to draw.

IceGirlTribalGuySketches01

IceGirlTribalGuySketches02

IceGirlTribalGuySketches03

IceGirl
The girl has ice powers and is rather sullen. She tends to feel pretty entitled also almost like a princess or a queen.

TribalGuy
This guy is pretty informal and doesn't pay much attention to customs or pleasantries, he basically does what he wants. He's pretty skilled with twin swords.

These two probably won't get their own story, but they're fun for me to draw so you'll probably see them again.
