GEIST chapter 1 out now in MangaPlus! 🧿👿📖

Hidden among the mundane world lies another, where magic exists and otherworldly beings walk both in the light and in the shadows. And throughout this world, there is no name more infamous than H.H. Geist, a wizarding school dropout turned freelance occult investigator. Her methods are unorthodox and her results may vary, but no matter the case, she always gets the job done, mostly.

⚠️TW: gore, violence, language

been doing this since last year while juggling to write outlines & dialogue for my own comic. it was fun drawing the demons & devils here, wish i can design more interesting shapes. we'll see.

Please check out the comic! and drop a comment so we know what you think of it. ciao for now #^_^#)/

been writing all along, so yknow what i realised? something i should've recognised as with my drawing process... is that the more you do something the more you get familiar with it and you get in the flow. who knew writing bit by bit, even if i had to force myself at least an hour/day, will make the juices flow easier. drawing has always been more straightforward for me compared to writing. or maybe (here it is again) I'm just not used to writing. just writing it down for documentation purposes. also more importantly

happy International Women's month! 💐💜

webcomic reboot update

report progress to keep me motivated

redesigned most of the main characters...except for a few: Jonas (waht is hair), "Teddie" (new character, viz warm & homely), and Emile (new chara & Jonas' paternal uncle, viz family resemblance). so I'd say [80%] done.

outlined main story plot progression. i can say [20%] of the chapter outlines are solid. my plan is to write broad strokes scenes but specific plot points to keep things flexible and not overwork myself. trynna make a textual map for myself if that makes sense.

plotted down the major arc breaks for the 3 main protagonists Meija, Jonas, and Josef. (now i'm juggling 3! how can this go wrong?) still working on supporting cast. I'm on the fence if I should expand their [minor chara] stories into the main or keep things simple🤔leaning on the latter. shout out to obsidian you are my vault.

changed comic title from "Sakura Day" to "RCH". just an initialism for now, small chance it might change. just putting it out there.

narrowed down SPRING's art direction. planning on making a "style bible" and vision board. with pureref ofc cuz it's free (highly recc). have made style tests that can work.

just text update because I haven't shared much except for a few drawings of my gals. i'll share more art sketches when i get through a barrier i'm behind on. (っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ send help ♥

🌻Ladies of Blaine house

Meet the ladies of the Blaine house from my webcomic (new title to be announced)! respectively: Serenity, Clara (Clarabella), Ashley, Supah, and Astra. Non-related house members inhabiting the same house owned by the Blaines. (I'm sorry that's all I can talk about them for now).

just a few tweaks here and there in their designs since i like their originals. wanted to quick draw my gals so i used this prompt as an excuse (haha). i may have took some liberties with the consistency of the marigold colour. hopefully based on how the size of the shirt hangs on their body one can presume their size differences.

As for the reboot of the webcomic, I'm still in the process of writing the chapter outlines. i may have said this before but writing is hard =~=;;). Nonetheless I want to finish the chapter outlines by next year so that I can move into drawing storyboards.

Engkanto Noon 🌺

a recent manga commission I did for Mac (macreyes.com) that took me a little over a year to finish and I'm happy how it mostly turned out. The story's from the same series The Good, The Bad, & The Magical Girl which follows the story of the Eastford sisters Leonie (bottom left) and Nina (bottom right) as they venture into the Far West looking for a way to break their family's curse.

I welcome everyone to read Engkanto Noon in full for free here!

also this is the 3rd chapter in the series so if y'all curious about the previous chapters you can read em here too!

my first draw for 2024

Meija and her little tongue peeks to say Hullo!

am still learning how to draw with my pentel fude (gotta be light-handed); my mech pencil is pilot eno 0.7 (pink). Meija is a character in my (currently rebooting comic) RCH, formerly Sakuraday. I'll be sharing more about it sometime this year, hopefully. that and posting more art will be on my list of NY resolutions.

ink and sketch (i got excited to ink the sketch but ohwell). images have adjustments on contrast & brightness for presentation's sake. note to self: draw better arms next time =_=)...

Happy New Year folks!

progress update on the sakuraday reboot

seems i've been slumped about the writing part that i haven't shared some artworks so here they are: (in order of appearance)

Meija, Jonas, and Josef

the three main characters of sakuraday, if you haven't met them yet. They'd like to say "Hi and hello"", except maybe Josef who's not very good with first impressions (look at him grumbling in a corner).

re-drawing these characters helps when i get antsy and frustrated with the writing process. gotta balance the two. cuz apparently writing is a whole 'nother beast, though it has its fun times too i guess.

time to get back on the writing saddle and hope i dont fall.

update on comic reboot:

…writing is hard ( ಠ ͜ʖ ಠ)

[ivaverseblog]

The Red Planet, a comic collab i did with Daniel Goldhorn whom i met in the r/ComicBookCollabs community. it's a short retro sci-fi story, written by Dan and drawn by me, about people compelled to fight each other in the name of their nation. i'm so glad Dan made the comic into a video complete with sound design and voice acting. I recommend checking his channel out, some pretty good analyses and breakdowns vids about films (which I aboslutely like).

🔻here're the pages for anyone who wants to see them in full🔻

they have this comic posted in their tumblr too, check it out here.
