As always, you can read out webcomic, The End, here!

These are custom shoes I did for myself and Cory. the process was simple (but messy) and only took an afternoon, and the result is awesome shoes that should last all summer and never fade (if I did it properly). The next time I do a pair, I’ll make a process tutorial instead of just taking pics at the very end.

These various drawings were done using only the Crayon tool in Paint Tool SAI. I’ve done them for a variety of reasons–some are commissioned, most are characters from my comic that I wanted to reasonably redesign for after a bit of a time jump in continuity, and one of them was just for fun.

I’ll likely have more of these up in the future!

These two are characters who will be making their debut in my webcomic, The End, some time later this year. These quick busts were to get their base skin and hair colours down so that I don’t have to  worry about it later.

Back when I got my start with webcomics, I was in highschool and drew a picture of a kid with some zombies. It was a neat concept, and from that single image spawned a webcomic that I would struggle with  for the next four or so years of my life and eventually abandon. I’ve come to accept that not all ideas work, and was having increasing difficulty relating to the characters in this project as I grew up and went to college and got a job and the characters remained in highschool.

Flash forward to yesterday when I revisited this concept as a means of taking my mind off of a comic page I was struggling with. I aged him up about nine years and did some quick notes on how the story would need to change if I wanted it to be interesting. While I can’t promise I’ll ever make it into a real comic again, I did have a lot of fun with this, and traditional media was a nice break from photoshop and SAI.

Faber-castell PITT artist pens, Copic and prismacolour markers. Highlights are done with Sakura White JellyRoll gel pens. 

So, here are the results of an entire Sunday’s work, as well as what feels like a broken finger (the one thing I forgot about using pencil crayons for prolonged periods of time is the amount of pain it causes my hands).

August 13th was Jenny Everywhere Day! It was requested that I contribute at the Open Fire! Ignition party. I had so much fun that I ended up doing a quick bust of Raine from The End, as well. Here they are:

• Custom logo.
• Custom headers for posts, sidebars.
• Comicpress and essential plugin installation and setup.
• Analytics setup.
• Custom graphics and seamless backgrounds.
• Custom navigation.
• Custom chapter title bar.
• Lessons on how to use all of these things.
• Lessons on making custom word balloons in photoshop.

Very pleased with the results, and well worth the effort. Here is a screencap of what the page looks like:

As well as a shot of their logo:

He ended up commissioning the First Doctor, who I couldn’t find a reference for that wasn’t extremely sinister. I’ve been told that he’s not super sinister, which is unfortunate, but I was pretty pleased with the results none-the-less.

The second thing he commissioned was the oft hobotastic Eleventh Doctor, which I had a far easier time of.

And last but not least (in fact, the most challenging aspect of this commission), what Dr. Who banner would be complete without the Tardis?

This was the most difficult thing, but also the most fun.

The first two pieces were done entirely in Paint Tool SAI, and the third was done entirely in Photoshop.

I spend a lot of time drawing people running around in space, so drawing people in mundane situations is actually kind of relaxing from time to time. Did this one a while ago. Inks in Sai, everything else in photoshop.
