Kenn's Space

The Tumblr home of Christopher Kennedy. The somewhat unusual creator of the webcomic Starry Day (www.starryday.net) I'm hard to love, but gosh darn it harder to hate!

I wanted to pet one of my Cats (Max) but he was a whole 3 meters away but another Cat (Squawky) decided to sort that out for me and come to sit on my lap~

When you get a Cintiq but have no idea what to actually draw.

An OC of mine, Judgement :D With RPG Maker MV coming out soon I kind of wanna do a short project with him in for fun?

A piece that turned experimental to see what kind of result I could get with colouring the lineart. I included the plain lineart too though. I know I’m a far way off when it comes to getting the kind of look of lines I want, but there are parts I like how it came out.

Also if you have any requests please feel free to throw them in my inbox C: (albeit I know that offer usually gets no response XD)

As my love for Kingdom Hearts 2 has rekindled, have my favorite Organization XIII member, Demyx~

So as my partner has now completed Earthbound and knowing one of my friends is a big fan I figured I'd draw Ness :3

[kennsan]

Gotta be honest, this is pretty accurate right now! I was hoping to do some arty stuff like colour style tests but just nah. Bedtime soon~

But on the good side of things I've uploaded this weeks Starry Day at www.starryday.net~

Am I the only one who hates the idea of the site ‘Fiverr’?

As from what I can figure it’s a bunch of people offering their services for a quick buck, but that includes artists and graphic designers.

With the current hot topic of making sure artists and designers are charging a livable cost for their services, you have sites like this that the whole business model is pushing people way under the value margin.

Reblog if you’d be okay if your friend came out as transgender

let’s see how many transphobics we can weed out

Why? Does it get harder after the 15th time or something?

Did you ever do the thing where you switch places for ill-gotten gains or whatever evil purposes? Yeah, we did a lot. We were troublemakers as kids

[kennsan]

faeryn technically you weren’t wrong about your theory of Josh having a twin haha XD

So in prep to change rebrand my Webcomic FB page I've decided to do the conceited thing of making the display pic a self portrait - here's the WIP :D

[kennsan]

So for those who don’t know, due to just a heavy amount of stuff going on in my life I’ve decided to take time away from my Comic for some time.

During this time it occurred to me that I can actually focus on working on just improving my art. For those who don’t know my comic you can see it at www.starryday.net. It’s a neat style to work with, but it really limits me, and working 38 hours a week + social obligations + down time literally leaves me with not much time for anything else.

But I just opened Photoshop and in 20 minutes (give or take) I made the above. I’m actually pretty damn impressed with myself with the results, especially as someone who for some reason thinks he really doesn’t have a grasp of how to art properly in Photoshop (my comic works with a lot of pen tool and gradients), and I guess part of me is annoyed with myself. If this is literally what I can pull out of my butt without much effort, where would I have been if I had been putting my mind to random other art? Or even stuff I actually pour my heart into and spend a lot of time on. 

I think now is the time for me to start finding out, and while it sucks to take time away from the comic as it’s brought me so much joy, it’s time to have a little more fun and less restriction with my art, and who knows what will come from this venture?
