Page 47. Thanksgiving put me behind, but I’m pretty pleased with how this page turned out. The last two panels are some of the best drawings of Ace that I have done, I think.

I got a new digital drawing tablet in an early Black Friday sale, and I am loving it. I can get more fluid and dynamic lines with this tablet than I could with my last one. This is the line-art of Ace and Carolyn from an upcoming page. I am also getting better at drawing the characters, in general. Hooray!

Happy Thanksgiving to my American readers. I hope you have a good time with your families!

Page 46 is my most recent comic page. Page 47 up next week. 🙂

Chapter 3 begins! I am hoping the two shadows–Artor’s shadow, and the receding memory shadows–make sense here. I like the version without Artor’s shadow too:

In other news, I got a new Wacom Cintiq 16 (from the new affordable line), and I am loving it.

Week 3 of the three week break between chapters. Next week I post Page 46, the cover page for Chapter 3.

This is a close-up of the characters from the Pelkern card. I’m especially happy with how Carolyn turned out. I partially based her pose off of Caravaggio’s painting David with the head of Goliath (the 1607 version).

We’re on week 2 of the three week page break between chapters. I’m still busy as a beaver with the prep-work for Chapter 3. In the meantime, here is the Pelkern card I handed out at Hutchmoot (an arts conference). Drawing the setting on this reminded me how excited I am to get to Pelkern. 😀

There will be a 3 week page break while I do the prep work for Chapter Three. For this first week, here are close-ups of some of my favorite drawings from Chapter 2.  😀

Page 44, Chapter 2. I worked and reworked the dialogue on this page. I’m pretty happy with how it came out though, as well as the expressions in Panels 1-5. 😀

Concept Art week.

This is one of my first digital paintings, from 2016. I sat on the stone steps in front of our townhouse with the smallest-size Wacom tablet hooked into a cheap laptop. I painted the foliage that I could see just beyond the parking lot, and I thought “maybe this whole digital thing could actually be fun.” It’s three years later, and I have no regrets on switching to digital painting.

Page 44 up next week. : )

Page 43. I redid the dialogue. My husband came up with Ace’s new line, and I think it works much better.
