776 – It’ll Stick
775 – Snowy Days Are Here Again
Dec 282018
Hey! It’s Friday and I’m not working so I have time to post the Flashback. Of course, I wasn’t working yesterday and I forgot to post the strip, but there was a party I needed to prepare for, so…yeah.
It’s time for Rogue to make an appearance, sugah! Interesting (to me) story! I finished inking and colouring the picture a while ago. Something was off. I’d really struggled with the legs When I came to shade the piece, last week, I had to rework it. I completely redid everything below the belt several times. I’m not 100% satisfied still, but it’s a lot better than it was before. Oh and I still love shading red hair. Officially, I believe Rogue is supposed to have brown hair, but sometimes it looks red and so I went there.
Here’s the comparison to the original. I think one of the most striking differences is the dimensions of the character. Because I was trying to ape a comic book pose, I fudged on Nektara’s dimensions in the original. In the remake, I tried to adapt that same pose to work with Nektara’s actual dimensions. It’s still somewhat of a cheat, but not as obvious this time around.
That’s all for this week. More stuff next week!
772 – Crismus Day Musings
Oct 172018
Shucks howdy! How y’all doin’? It’s Wednesday and that’s a day for mashin’!
It’s Hallowe’en and this week we’re looking at some classic costume ideas: a witch, a vampire and a spider. Deema’s scale isn’t quite right compared to the other two, but you get the idea.
Here’s Nektara by herself. Because the hat makes the picture so tall, the whole thing looks rather small when I shrink it to the usual dimensions. This was the first piece I drew for the Hallowe’en set because it’s such a classic. The brim of her hat is iffy, but the rest is solid.
Here’s Todrick by himself. Yeah, I’m digging this.
And finally, here’s Deema…by herself. It’s okay. The plush effect of the spider costume isn’t something I’m all that good at. It is what it is.
That’s all for this week. Next week, we look at some less than alive alternatives.
