I've printed a handful of copies of my first "Lessons In" mini-comic. Adapted from my comics fighting game journal! I'm really proud of how this turned out!
Drawing is fun! Inking is fun! Whoever* told me to stop 'seriously' drawing in middle school was an idiot *It was me.
Here's the finished poster version (design by Mintytaeste) and a few in progress illustrations.
I can finally share this 2XKO art I helped with for our local! Phenomenal colors by Meeperdoodle
Mini comic mock-up cover is done! Now to ink, scan, clean up, create a vector of the logo, finish the last page, ink all the pages, etc. etc. etc. Hoping to finish this by this weekend! #SailorMoon #SailorMoonS
About ~2 hours ago, after an hour long debate, their was a verbal vote to postpone further action. It was postponed. I don't know until when, or the full effect, but if you're reading this on Wednesday then you should call your reps while it's fresh on their mind
Illustrating fighting game inputs is the perfect mix of puzzle, creativity, perspective, storytelling, and frustration lol.
Which part is the Pika and which part is the Chu? Tonight's comics class is going to be a silly one
Back home going through all of my scan options, so here's a Darius double down. Looks like the grayscale should provide better results!
On my way back from the library where i just scanned everything in. So here's referee Illaoi!
Across the arena , cheering from the audience, another of my main team, Vi!!!
I was baiting for the @lucyelise.bsky.social like, and now that I have it. Our first of four competitors, ready to tag in Caitlyn!
We start with my main lil guy Teemo! He's all dressed up for the event!
I'm illustrating the poster for my FGC 2XKO weekly/monthly. I truly haven't enjoyed drawing this much in years. Anyhow this "Nexus Knockout" arena is only a piece of the bigger poster. I'm also adding characters that I'll be compositing later (many aren't even in 2X yet): 1 like = 1 reveal
Made this in preparation for my Akane-banashi comics stream tonight! What's great about teaching is in prepping one lesson, I made two other discoveries! Hopefully you can join us in 30 minutes or catch the vod after www.youtube.com/live/GI_FiHa...
A few weeks back I accomplished a goal of getting Top 8 at my local 2XKO weekly. Made possible by many of the regulars heading to King of Upstate for the weekend. Feat: @lucyelise.bsky.social Legally league of legends fanart too I guess.
Don't get it mixed. When I say this is a class, I mean it is a class. My Akane-banashi comic lessons VOD has been updated with interactive quiz questions!
I posted in so many places and yet forgot to share here, but my first Akane-banashi comics livestream lecture went great! Of course, even at less than a minute, episode clips flagged me for copyright. So, while the trims are processing now is a good time to watch the episode before my stream vod
This great piece of satire was written about a local theatre but deserves to be shared widely. thebrooklineturkey.com/article/cool...
❗Any good prompt engineer knows it's all about refining. 🤔 You're not going to get what you want on your first prompt. 💡It wasn't until added "+on beach -in bog" that it all came together. 🎓Sign-up now for my prompting video series. Here are some other Kermit's along the way
I don't know how I could be more clear that I don't want pictures of Kermit
