urgh, the most galling thing about my hands still being wrecked is I was SO CLOSE to finishing this next doodle comic (if I was able to work normally I’d finish it in like, 4 days max) and I have cold too now?!?! weak. anyway here’s some costume design/colour prep for the next NEXT doodle comic
also bonus super scribble deleted scene from the end which has changed now but heck I still think it’s cute even without context so fight me
just some WIP screenshots of this next doodle comic to give you hope- I’m trying to tear through it as fast as I can which is involving cheating the hell out of any perspective and using ALL the scribbles. all of them. Anyway it’s like 40 pages long so it’s going to take a while (and although I’ve got a few pages nearly done like the top set most of it is still like the last two pictures) SO UH
also those of you who follow me on twitter/read my tags might know that this one is??? a bit? odd. it’s. uh. it’s hard. you’ll understand when it gets here I am just, I’m a bit scared of making this one but I kinda sort of feel like I have to, so.
OKAY SO ABOUT THAT ENAMEL PIN THING there were a few hitches and one big missed connection/email that wasn’t sent when they thought it had been bUT me and the Topatoco folks really truly are working on this. Originally it was going to be a regular RGB but turns out we can’t use more than five colours and his smile alone has that many, so it’s going to be Negative instead! This is still WIP (the eye part especially, which will be silver metal like the other outline parts) but I was wondering which looks better to you- with or without the heartbeat wiggle in the bg? If you could say which in replies that’d be swell!
random Gyro warm up and WIP of the doodle comic to prove i ain’t dead im just busy :’D love you folks also thanks for the deluge? of nice messages this week? you send them all the time I know but this week I got hit by like a billion really really cute anon things and I really want you all to know I read and appreciate all of them i just don’t got good smart words to say back fhnfgndjk
hey remember this page from like 10 thousand years ago I actually worked on it today anyway here’s a bonus outtake bc it’s the end of the work shift and I just don’t care any more XP
people asking how I do the blob/sketch thing- honestly a lot of them time I go straight in with the blobs to form the masses and line of action, but sometimes like with this doodle comic I need a rough guide for the composition or very particular face angles/expressions. I turn the sketch riiiight down though so I can only just see it, because I want the picture to be pretty much organically fed by the tones and forms I’m using rather than a set of predetermined lines
sorry for lull in posts/chirpiness in general there’s a lot going on behind the scenes here (but there is movement on the RGB enamel pin business so that’s cool- still no idea when it’ll be done but we’re doing our best!). Anyway, doodle comic is WIP but I’ve got the gist of it very loosely sketched and I’m gonna have a crack at doing it in this blob/scribble technique I’ve been noodling about with lately. Wish me luck!
