#marzipanland

This morning, I tried my best to practice for one of my new classes by creating some art in Photoshop. (Yeah. I’m getting to THAT level now.)

Mi-Mi was fully drawn in Paint. The ground was taken from a photo that I took in a park that was located in a nearby city as a kid. The sky was taken from a photo that I took on top of a bridge on a faraway route.

If I feel competent enough, I might upload more practice artwork in the future.

It’s Children’s Day in Marzipanland, and Kuricha’s excited to hang his Fullet flag!

(Panchito’s also there to stan Cinco De Mayo.)

A scrapped panel from Marzipanland that never made it into the finished comic due to a nasty program crash.

Comic Workshop 2 is a fine game for drawing with. But it becomes a little unstable when it comes to creating unique panel layouts.

Thankfully, I don't face issues like this anymore. Especially with the new coloring method I've learned.

This was a render that I used on my website to promote Marzipanland's release. Aside from fixing up Kuricha's design, I also toyed with image mapping. The speech bubble would bring you to the webpage for Marzipanland.

Here's the line art for Kuricha and the speech bubble before I digitized them.

I should do something like this again to promote other things.

This was something I made for Marzipanland that would've been used as the back cover for the physical release of the comic. It was scrapped after I had to keep the comic in a digital format.

I also cropped it so I could use it as a new front cover to replace the old one.

This one wasn't used in the comic as it wasn't the same size as the pages. (That, and Missy wasn't in it.) It managed to see some use on the comic's purchase page.

As a side note, the renders used here were the first art pieces made with my modern coloring technique.

I was reluctant to share these. But seeing as Marzipanland has been available for a few months now, I don't see any harm in doing so.

This is a scene that was cut from the final version of the comic. It has Kuricha and Marrisso fight against Coach Swimman and his henchmen. While finalizing Marzipanland, I thought these pages were too poor in quality compared to the others and would have turned some readers off. That's why I made the decision to remove them. They would've taken place between pages 37 and 38.

Many other pages didn't end up in the final release. But the ones shown here are notable, as they feature a character who would've been scrapped had it not been for his other appearances throughout Marzipanland.

I heard that yesterday was St. Andrew's Day. Seeing as I LOVE Scotland, I knew that I HAD to make something for it.

So, here's Marrisso wearing a kilt and donning a tam o' shanter as he happily invites you to listen to his bagpipe playing!

Yeller: “You completely thrashed my DVD!!! That disc had a recording of the latest episode that just aired in Japan today! NOW, how am I supposed to spoil it for normies who can only afford to watch the English dub?!”

I wanted to do more comedy stuff. So, I made this.

Expect more like it in the future.
