Doctor's Moving Tardis! A drama queen who dresses flashy and the woman who corrals him into acting like a human being.
I tried to do cel shading on these, and it's a very different effect than I'm used to. I don't think I'll be doing more in this style unless I'm referencing something animated again, but trying it once was fun.
I liked how this came out so much, and with Clip Studio, extending a background was so easy, I made two desktop versions of this, which are at a higher resolution. They are under the cut.
Inktober 9 - Heavy
Gothic heroine tip #41: No matter how well you think you swim, you don't swim that well in five layers of petticoat.
That's not just a gothic heroine tip, that's a genuine piece of lifesaving advice! Wool dresses will be warmer if you get wet, but if you get soaked? That will drag you down. Hell, wet linen is heavy. Everything is heavy if you get it wet enough.

I'm still not entirely happy with the background. I tried out a lot of new techniques and brushes for this, and generally speaking I'm happy with it. I also have a version where they both have white hair, but I think I like the original hair colors better, even if the both white hair makes them much more visually connected to each other.
Clip Studio Paint, I want to say around twenty-four hours, but I didn't keep as good track on this piece.
Inktober 21 - Blast
The 80% ink wash pen was dying as I did this, so I'm not really happy with how the skirt came out. I've refilled it, but still. Have a woman from the 1870s hitting you with a psychic blast, I can't think of a clever caption today.

I get that he's like, fourteen, but let Tobias say <fuck>.
I mean, he almost gets to call Jake a son of a bitch, but to be fair, Jake earned that.
The final scene of House on Snowy Hill, the first ever Billy and Zoë story, which was rewritten this year with a more mature prose. Which is to say I'm a better writer than I was at fifteen and looking back, there's a lot I thought was obvious and went without saying that kind of needed to be said for the story to actually make sense.

Sorry guys, one more post of my recent automaton Luka piece. I wanted to do a side by side comparison of the finished piece and the reference from @adorkastock
