I misread this as “deeply lactose intolerant”
Which is…close enough
Survive out there 🫡

I desperately desire to learn how to draw faster - what is my flaw - am I a perfectionist? Do I just need to do more anatomy studies so I don’t feel like fixing poses so much?

ART IS HARD

Just spelled a word completely backwards

Thought it looked weird

Wrote it again

Still backwards…

Erased it again and … finally realized I was spelling backwards……..

I’m weak. Oven strong.

Hmm I bet my dinner would be even better with some pepper

Too bad my pepper has been stuck behind the oven for half a year now

Up close of a floppy ear from one of my OCs (Lante). Drawn in black and white (lineart only image)

Was talking to a friend about what my OCs say about my favorite things to draw in character designs - showed her an image and all she said was

“The ears are drawn with deep love and care”

…I think she’s right lol

A very blurry color-less photo of my Corgi Milo sitting on the dark. He looks toward the camera with eyes glowing

He is the watcher.
The observer.
The one who’s seen but shall not tell.
The power he holds is not for man to know, we may only ever question…and tremble…

Manga style comic page panels show an older Boar humanoid character (Silvestel), standing at a fruit stand while talking to the MC (another boar looking character with floppy ears) Lante, who is crouched as he looks through the fruit and talks at the same time

Every time I see this page I remember that I sketched most of it on an airplane and then proceeded to get super motion sick…the things you do

I didn’t know until I finished drinking it…I didn’t know…

It’s not that I want to drink expired milk

It’s just that it’s so easy to accidentally do

A gray canvas covered in numbers going up to 260 - NOT in order. Certain parts are mysteriously circled in red...And the handwriting SUCKS

They made me do it.

I have a love hate relationship with paneling for comic pages - who knew rectangles and squares could make me suffer so much

It’s like doing an evil puzzle

Posting a silly comic edit here to see how it does 👍

Comic page 8 of Scorched Rune - a comic page done in manga style. Top panel shows multiple onlooking watching as MC Lantē struggled off-screen to get his dog away from the fruit bins Middle panels show Lantē holding his dog (Lūska) and apologizing with a big bump on his head as SilvēSteel stands beside a few extra boxes of fruit assuring him it’s fine Panel 4 shows an up close of Lantē looking a little upset Bottom panels show Silvēstēl talking before giving him a stink eye when Lantē awkwardly looks away at the mention of him being old

I want to DRAW
I want to DOODLE
I want to CREATE

…

5 more hours, my freedom is nigh. Had Covid not taken my sense of smell I’m convinced I would be able to smell it…soon…

You walk in and get a random child thrust into your arms…ok guess we doing parenthood now

Sketch of a dog, sitting in a pretty normal dog sitting pose - done in pen

So you’re telling me I can spent hours trying to draw a dog on my nice drawing tablet and art program but get nowhere?

And then suddenly at work with nothing but a PEN I can make THIS????

Still trying to figure out drawing dogs…

You’d think by now I could draw them right? Aha ahahaha

ABSOLUTELY NOT

What is going on with their face and where do I put their giant honking NOSE

Don’t get me started on the fact my dog character has two mouths…THE AGONY

Manga style art from a panel of my comic - Scorched Rune Shows Lantē (the MC and a humanoid boar character) turning around and waving as he holds a bag in his hand and smiles

Slowly but surely everyone in my life is becoming aware of my love for pig/boar characters…This is good

ANYONE HERE HAVE ANY BOAR FELLAS THEY WANNA SHARE? 👀

That looks so cuteee!

Thank you - me and my lineart will become bold and brave 🫡

I need to get better at thicker lineart. I guess I am afraid of the thick lines being TOO thick - but then I end up with all thin lines…

I am a coward

But I will improve

Didn’t think I needed to go to bed

But then I went to the pantry for a water bottle and found myself holding a full scoop of my dog’s kibble instead…
So…
I think I’m actually gonna go to bed

Why are standing poses the hardest ones to do?? Like…bro just STAND and look good WHY IS THAT SO HARD?

Manga style comic page. Top panels show Silvestēl (a humanoid Boar character (Boarlian)) sighing in relief as Lantē kneels on the ground, recovering from being toppled over by his dog Middle panel shows a shocked Lantē at Silvestēl mentioning another heart attack Bottom panels had a cheery Silvestēl pointing out that Lantē’s dog is about to take a huge chomp out of some fruit. Lantē looks stunned seeing his dog doing this

Let it be known Boarlians have two thumbs - it gets a little weird…but it’s just how they are

[ #digitalart | #comic | #comicpage | #scorchedrune ]

If you’ve ever seen me post a comic page and then edit the post later to fix an art mistake…………No you haven’t

Anyone else swear they draw better on their IPad than computer?

Like…I will make sketch and rough Lineart on Procreate just to finish the process on CSP because I just DO BETTER that way

Is there a science behind this or something?? 😵‍💫

I love this…I love when characters just get hearts scattered everywhere across their design

Manga style comic page with 5 panels Top 2 panels show an old humanoid boar character laughing until the 3rd panel shows Lantē (another humanoid boar with a longer tail looking more dragon-like) is seen face down with his dog happily laying on top of him Bottom 2 panels show the stressed/concerned old man before Lantē lifts his head looking dizzy but ok

I think any dog person can relate to being absolutely KO’d by your dog. I have a corgi and he still manages to knock me down…
