working on the richphil comic thumbnails. 30 pages in and there has still been no actual sex (not including in people's imagination) just several pages of Philou being Mad as Hell (about the aforementioned imaginary sex)

I am quite aware my process as an artist is a bit of a mess like

"why do you make most of your pages 860x700"

Idk it was a comfortable height and width for a website back in 2005

"what made you pick the colors in LOP's palette"

Twas a combination of being greedy for the standard colors in Photopaint and wanting to imitate the colors of the colored pencils I'd been using at the time, plus adding in more and better skin tone colors as I went (there is a whole specific row of pale skin tones that was me trying to create a flat tone for Kira Kaiba and going "nope not ghastly pale enough")

"what about X Random Story Thing"

Beats me, I don't think about certain things until they're relevant lmao

I plan the actual story up to a point, panel composition and where dialogue goes, and background sets just bc otherwise they don't happen (and even then there's a certain amount of on the fly nonsense)

I'm trying to plan more for Eclipse Knight bc I'm fussier about it but I also know the on the fly shit is still gonna happen bc I can't function without being able to do it

Hi there! I just wanted to say I am a super huge fan of your comics and art-style (I actually originally thought they were canon voltron comics cause your style is on point lol), and was wondering if you would mind me asking what software do you use to make them. If not I understand, but thank you anyways :3

Hi, thank you so much! I do reference the voltron characters a lot since it’s difficult to keep them consistent, though I didn’t think they’d look that close to the canon style lol. As for which software I use making comics…. I actually draw most of them on paper. Here’s a pic of my inked vld pages:

After scanning, I edit them in Photoshop, sometimes re-drawing parts and rearranging stuff (to fit the dialog better). I shade in PS, but when I use screentone I apply it in ClipStudio (MangaStudio). Sometimes I draw 100% digital comics, and then I only use CS.
