Night sky over the bay/beach

Various clouds against the blue sky

Night sky over tree tops

Clouds in the sunset

When the world gets you down, look up

Procreate screenshot from my comic of one of my characters performing a magic tattoo

The same man is interrupted by a high heeled boot kicking in his door

My character Maris leaning around the corner of the door after interrupting and shouting his name

Lau and Maris discussing the magic ritual happening through the tattoo as he retorts to something she says and stands, hand outstretched to interact with the erratic looking magic

Chapter 6 looks so pretty

Screenshot from procreate of work in progress rendering of my webcomic. My character, Candice, stands in the misgroundnof the scene pulling on an arcane looking glove. The room is in shadow with a bit of night time lighting cast on the right and bright red magic lighting the scene from the foreground/bottom of the piece. The angles and pleats of her pants suit reflect all the lights in a really cool way. The tail of a speech bubble is cropped, suggesting that she is speaking but the crop of the whole page is to hide spoiler content.

Update, doing a bunch of colored promotional art may have slowed me down a bit but the pay off is that chapter six is lookin’ sexy as hell

Screenshot of procreate with a work in progress of a page from my comic. Two figures dressed in identical uniforms stand at attention in a dark office that's cast in purple shadows/low lights. There's a window behind them and it appears to be night time. I need to fix some of it still, but I'm really excited at how well the color is coming out without needing to use color correction. Also this is the reveal that Chapter 6 of my comic is in full color

It's a WIP buuuuuuuut look how good it looooksssss

Concept art of the character Amala from my comic. She has South Asian features, dark skin, and long purple hair in a braid. Her arms frame her face to the left of the image as one touches her neck and the other stretches across her head to dangle golden scales that reflect the light coming from the right side. She is elegant and feminine with a nose piercing, center lip piercing, and earrings as well as a head piece that frames her eyes.

Art of my character Maris from my comic As Above. She wears a claw like bodice and sleeves similar to her design in the series but now she has a big witches hat on as well. The little skull that usually floats over her head now sits on the brim of her hat. She's leaning over an ethereal ledge looking down into a glowing pool reflecting stars and casting light on her. Her long hair, usually black-tipped, looks like a deep teal as it falls over her shoulder towards the water.

Witchy Maris for Halloween!! 👻🎃

Art of the character Demian Carr, also known as Lady Luck from my comic As Above. She's half submerged in the water of a sunlit alcove. She has voluminous wavy hair that reflects the sunlight and water magic hovers in an orb above her palm.

Half body colored sketch of my character Maris. I’m too tired to try and describe this so I’ll just say she’s “blue hair and pronouns goth girlfriend” coded. But also I made her shiny.

Quick and sketchy Maris doodle to cope with the horrors

Drawing her this chapter has been stressing me ouT but she looks cute here so have a comic page #wip

Like art of a character from my comic. The angle is weird for me but came out really well which is why I’m posting it. From a slightly higher angle looking down at his face as he looks over his shoulder. His features are eccentric with a handle bar mustache, face and neck tattoos, an eye patch, weird eyebrows, and a chain that crosses half his face. It all works well together even with the difficult angle to execute

He wasn’t supposed to be this pretty I swear

Four characters stacked side by side. From left to right: A woman with South Asian features, purple hair, and symmetrical jewelry looks off frame to the left. A white man with striking blue eyes and golden attire glares at the viewer. A woman with East Asian features stares steady at the viewer with her lips slightly parted. A man in a gaudy green suit and top hat looks out of frame to the right.

The Council, As Above

Full color art piece of my characters Naiya and Dorian. Dorian is holding Naiya over one shoulder with a stoic look on his face as she leans around him to flip off the viewer.

The trouble making not-couple who definitely aren't still meeting up in private after their engagement was nullified.

The same art piece I posted a few days ago featuring a pair of gold scales held by a woman with purple hair. The piece is now fully rendered with the golden scales and the woman's jewelery reflecting brilliantly.

Screenshot from procreate of a comic page WIP of two characters chatting in a sitting room. The perspective is fairly clean and has multiple vanishing points along with pretty decent character poses and composition. I’m particularly proud of how well I got the hands and bottom of their shoes to work because those are two things that often disrupt and otherwise decent shot if not done well.

A panel like this would have done me in just a few months ago.

Extreme close up of an art piece of a woman showing only a part of her face. It’s the same art piece I’ve been teasing for days but this shows that it’s fully rendered

Screenshot from procreate of a character submerged in water up to her chest. She leans one elbow on a rock and rests her hand on that shoulder. In her other hand she holds a lotus flower that isn't filled in yet.

Laid the flats then realized I don't have the color skill for the idea I have in mind yet (,:

Here's the paused #wip while I figure that out

Rough sketch of a man with an eyepatch, handlebar muscle, and cigarette looks down at something as someone wearing high heeled boots kicks down the door behind him. Pour over coffee magically makes its self in the mid ground.

Couldn’t tell you how many draft revisions of As Above this single shot survived through.
