...and some midnight snacks of my own



vanilla:












sprinkles:

a colorish layout for one of the panels....pacemaker front and center



another stab at a layout for the previous page. I realized that my colors for these are all waaay too bold. Been taking some time to think more about how I want to pace it and what the color moods should be instead of "uniformly saturated"

a stab at a costume design for my new cosplayer friend (yay new friends!). Her online handle is "riddle", but I think that the first variant (below) is a little too racy, so I was thinking about putting some bodysuit layer below




Progress on this one...I liked the idea of muting the background to emphasize the red flowers so I went with some simple birches in the BG with some warm lighting

mmm...deeeeelicious! your figure work continues to impress miss! i must say i'm pretty jealous of your freedom in rendering style/medium (not to mention the patience your models have for posing for an astounding 20 minutes! ours stay for 10 min max). the sketchiness provides awesome vivacity, life and dynamic movement (even tho they're standing still!). and are the models really sporting those marvelous props? the centurion helm and poison ivy twigs are hot!

some excellent work on the sprinkles as well. it's really apparent which panels grab your interest (and thus the viewer's); the electricity of the cuttlefish heart is positively hair-raising. it's nice to see the definition coming along with your girl-on-a-precipice piece...any plans on finishing off the nyc mech piece?

why thankee :>

hehehe! i thought the same of my not-so-accurate rendering of the lovely ms riki. Too much tina fey for me

glad you like the way that page turned out--I like putting that as the center piece and having it overlap into the other panels, but the surrounding panels are currently just placeholders...
