Sneak peek at the next comic update. Color blocking and quickly adding base color/effects. Going back through and cleaning up in the morning. ⛅ I underestimated just how stressful the flurry of earthquakes were this past week/weekend--threw me off my game. Getting back on track this week. #sylph #naturefae #comicart #manga #digitalcolor #clipstudiopaint #fae #instaart #originalcharacter #fantasyart #illustration #WIP https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzu1FOOj3ld/?igshid=1h3o6a3ukqgt3

Couple comps for an idea that popped into my head last night just before 2am. The top one is the first design (1) while the bottom one is the second (2). I'm kind of liking the bottom one better. 🌊🌊🌊 What do you think? 🌊🌊🌊 #mermay #conceptart #roughsketch #digitalart #clipstudiopaint #wacomcintiq #creativeinspiration #waterelemental #undine #waterfae https://www.instagram.com/p/BxiDuXklTnz/?igshid=gnepod12b9ji

Experimenting with coloring/shading styles. Fleshing out some elements for a couple fantasy comic ideas I want to get started on soon. But want to decide on the treatment for them. I may come up with some options and get feedback from people. :) Also Happy New Moon! 🌑 #originalcharacter #WIP #digitalcolor #digitalart #comicart #manga #clipstudiopaint #characterdesign https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv6D3hTD2hH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vtd5ljcgcd6p

Wow, what a response to last year’s Inktober lists, with 77,337 notes just here on tumblr!

Here are my new lists this year. I hope they inspire you, use the hashtags so we can see what you come up with, tag me, share!! Or use one of the 8 lists from last year. Do whatever you want! 

Make sure you:  - do one inked drawing a day.  - tag your work with #inktober and the relevant list tag - have fun!

(Note, older versions of this post had ringmaster twice in the dark circus list, now fixed.)

Some late night quill inking for fun. Trying to have more control over my lines but keep still loose and sketchy without flicking ink all over the place...Will use a brush later for final touches and filling in larger spaces. Trying to think of what to put around the borders...decisions decisions. #WIP #inkdrawing #sketchtember #illustration #naturefae #fantasyart #inktoberprep https://www.instagram.com/p/BnTCBhyAXGX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mg3zj6aha9k0
