Inky Stories on Tumblr

@inkydavid

The primary purpose of this Tumblr account is to support Inky Stories (www.inkystories.com), my web comics collection. Genres for my self-contained short stories include satire, horror, smut, sci-fi and crime fiction. In addition, I'll also promote comics history, current artists and collect Tumblr posts: politics and retro-smut. Ask me anything! About Me I've been published by Fantagraphics Books, SpiderBaby Graphix and FantaCo Enterprises. More recently, my work appears in Inbound and Outbound, anthologies published by the Boston Comics Roundtable.

This is bigger than science fiction. White controlled media companies usually squander the potential of Black characters. I'd jack a TARDIS to do a drive-by shooting of studio heads from MANTIS to Star Wars.

So the problem with designing characters who become popular is that, if you’re a needy bastard like me who tracks the Lutece tags when you’re bored, you’re suddenly exposed to a ton of art of said characters in various states of undress.

I’m not one to discourage this sort of thing- no no, I have sketchbooks full of Remus/Sirius stuff from high school- but I figured I might as well give everyone a leg-up with a more detailed guide to Rosalind Lutece’s potential underthings. I’ve seen a ton of drawings of her in corsets from a good 50 years before her time and I… I needed to step in.

Think of this as a primer! Not a be-all-end-all of Edwardian underthings (heck, I’m still learning this stuff), but it might teach you some new fashion terms/ideas you weren’t previously aware of! Go forth, young padawan, and draw historically-accurate Rosalind porn to your heart’s content.

…I do not know if this counts as fanart or not since I’m the one doing it? Whatever. RESEARCH OR DIE MOFOS

🤭 I would have liked to see this in between

RTD was either lying or hilariously out of touch for avoiding this.

Sixie storming through the galaxy, a meme that turned into a fun drawing XD Yes this is Nyan Cat inspired and yes it is - unknowingly - @lurking-latinist 's fault, who thought that sharing harmless tags under a post talking about the things Six wears would fall onto deaf ears. But I'm always listening, always watching-

Always.

Excellent work

Coloring Frank's Next Mission

Forgot to set the timer, but this feels like 2 hours of work. First image is stage one flat coloring in progress (haven't touched title, credits, or last panel). Second image is the color flatted file I started with.

This happened in five years.

Perfecting my 64-color dot emulation technique.

Adjusting my faux-Silver Age comic book art against the actual comics. Elements include opacity, blurring, channel manipulation, hue/saturation & levels, and more accurate newsprint mimicking.

Eubie Blake (1887–1983)

The Surfer driven insane by 17 issues of being written by Stan Lee. He's ranting at no one, blaming "fate" for his own actions like a super-powered incel.

Color flatted from 3:00pm - 5:10pm. Most of the colors flatted. Thinking of coloring the big panel old school (Ben Day dots, newsprint texture, etc.) There's probably another hour or two of flatting to be done here.
