Faaaahhhhhh--!!! (Oh, you can tell that this has been multiple remakes in the making; that sketchbook paper lookin' like it went through hell and back) Also, I just hated the color scheme halfway through, so compromised by making her a brunette instead, hahaa #WIP

While working on story structure and thumbnails for the comic, I may need to come back to this one fr (other than the town itself and maybe a few indoor spaces for reference, imagine being able to 3D design Shani aaaaaaa)

Now I just need Cleo in this pose and we would have the holy trinity (or sumthin) Beatrice (who can't stop being curious George in these streets so she gets a tracking collar) and Mr. Vampy

In the quest for some birthday gifts for my bestie, @viciousshadi.bsky.social and I did some uhh.... shopping of our own 🫣 Small haul from Bookish Atlanta, Binders Art Supplies and Kinokuniya~

WIP // I have the flower/letter on the bottom, maybe some pedals floating through the page?? And the school uniforms to detail, and I think imma call this page complete Thanks to @mild-pain.bsky.social and @gperki.bsky.social for your company last night~

All of this work figuring out how to work with tones in a BG Only to realize that this really isn't the focus, and you're not gonna see a whole lot of the BG in this comic at the end of the day WIP

I have no idea what else to call it, hahaa~ but a similar hand style to Yusuke Murata, Kei Urana or Kohei Horikoshi. More rectangular fingers and to me, a little more flat compared to the rounded bottom palms

TOE BEANS!!!

Working a bit more on this page and she is unintentionally ✨ TERRIFYING ✨

I dunno man, being sick for a week straight and being told I will be coughing up a lung for two more.... sounds a little homophobic to me 😒 Anyways, WIP

Art, truly and honestly, saves my life, time and time again Super irritated with everything happening, but went to the first Pencil Pushers gathering at Henderson's and walked out feeling a WHOLE lot better. Athens art frands are the bestest 🥺

Perhaps one day I will make into freebie stickers, but for now, more character designs of additional characters and the storyboard for chapter 1 is next~

After lots of trial and error, I think what I am likely gonna roll with is a texture on top of an area, followed by some handmade hatching. Thanks so much to the folx in CAC, Cartoonist's United and multiple art frands for the feedback throughout this process! ♡ #アート・ハート

Yeeeaaahhhhh, this is when I know it's bed time; tones on a tablet screen makes me physically ill. We'll figure out an alternative tomorrow (Also, I am aware that her right arm is fucked up, I'm gonna have to fix that ahaaa) #アート・ハート

In related news, I have kinda been looking all over for a print or poster of this piece by Michael Sweater, but I'm pretty sure this was a @silversprocket.net exclusive or somethin 😩💀

Me af this past month

Also instructing everyone to join in on the gobelty gook propaganda and check out Gavin's new Gooblets comic!! 🥺 www.instagram.com/gavinflavor/

I love that everyone just knows me as the person that will scream at people to hydrate or diedrate 😂😂

Case in point. What's going on here?? 😅

Despite the massive migraine last night, finally decided to lock in and got this sketchbook binded, phew!

Made little handmade bookmarks to sell at FLUKE but gave a few to an instructor at the city's local arts center and I am SOBBING 😭

I'm an idiot and forgot I had actual graphics for these. Again, any questions, feel free to let me know! ♡

Thanks so much to everyone who came by, said hi, checked out the wares and made purchases, it's greatly appreciated 🥹 whether I get a table or not (the last two years has been lottery based and it's a shock I got in both times!) I will see you all next year~

Bestie's mother was also in town to visit, so KBBQ it is!

A small zine + sticker haul. My ribs were hurting mid day so I checked out a few tables, but got super overwhelmed by the crowd and missed out on the main floor to get additional zines, fumbling the bag as usual 😭

Thank you so much to everyone that attended FLUKE, I had a fantastic time!! Doesn't matter if I get a table next year or not, I will see you all next year! 🫰✨️

The logo design already looks so much better! 😅 I'll add the details later, for now I have a few other things to attend to #アートxハート

I promise y'all ain't ever gonna me see me sweat with this sword again because WHAT IS THAAATTTT??!?!

Y'all, I have been trying to teach myself how to use Blender for one specific task since 8pm It's 2:30am now. But the sword Shani uses in the Art x Heart comic has crudely been made in 3D so I can use for reference in whatever angle I need! #アートxハート
