I sat on this WIP post a bit longer because I didn't want to entirely give away that the thing was out, but yeah. I'm marking this as WIP/alt because I was a dummy and did half the backgrounds in blue before remembering they should be in red. Danger color.

Looking back at last month's pages, I wish I had shown all six limbs of the alien while Fayes was glaring at it in the pod... but all six were shown very clearly during the first scene so I don't feel TOO bad. Also on this page I tried noodling aro...

We all knew that alien wouldn't stay put forever. Or, well, all together.

This was a page where I knew how I wanted to start and end it but wasn't as sure on the middle. Solution: start near the end and work in reverse. I also did have more observation log dialogue planned at first but I loved how that stink face in the first panel turned out and decided to let it speak for itself.
Heads up! The next few pages (25-28) will not hav...

I wondered why the recording for inks was so long, then I remembered that first panel took FOREVER. One detail that kinda got hidden away due to size is that the temperature is set to 17ºC - a little on the cool side.

Things are getting back to normal for me. I'm very glad I put in effort into getting ahead on pages, otherwise there might have been a delay for reals, haha. Anyway, here's some Fayes sitting around and being surrounded by floating X's.

Second page in, I think I got a knack for the hair again, aaaaannnd she's gone, pushed out the door.
Normally when I try for complicated reflections I rely on layer styles but I was determined to ink them in by hand. I think the last panel especially was hard to think through because of the reflection being right on top of our evil starfish pal's arm. I can't remember how much I ended up ...

Pages 20 and 21 were drawn about a month apart and I feel like I completely forgot how I drew the crazy hair in that time. I even had page 20 sitting on my table for easy reference and I still feel like I couldn't get the same feeling the hair had. I want to say that drawing it smaller added difficulty but I don't know.
Side note, not sure how good reference even does me because I k...

Holy heck you guys, the new computer is so much faster at video editing. I compiled the videos for 20-22 in less time than it took for my old computer to import the recordings of a single page. I guess that's the difference almost a decade of technology makes!
I looooved inking that hair, it was very relaxing to get into the brush work. But it took like a solid half hour to ink a...

Panspermia will continue to update on schedule! I managed to wrangle the files so I can post from mobile. No new page today because of the double update last week, but page 21 is already scheduled to be posted on the 21st. However, the process videos will have to wait until the end of the month when I have a new computer.
Panspermia 21 WIP
part of the reason for the double update is so I'd need to worry less about spoilers with WIPs. Now I'm free to post some juicier WIPS and you folks can get a clearer picture about what the new lady's figure is like~
I felt that my lines for the last batch of pages were kind chunky but chalked it up to the nib losing its point quicker than usual. Turned out I was using the wrong nib. I do...

Heads up that weekly updates may turn to 3/month in coming months as pledges are getting close to that threshold. It's not entirely surprising, especially given that I've been absent on dA and elsewhere. I need to promote myself more. So, question for you all: what other sites do you follow artists on? twitter? Is tumblr still a thing since the aporncoplyse?
UPDATE: Thank you everyo...

Download the attachment for the high res! The video for page 20 will come next week, but you can also find its high res attached here too.
I had another recording hiccup here, this time with the inks. It stopped recording after 20 minutes, no idea why, but I've since switched to doing recordings in smaller intervals.
This was a fun little page to work on, I'm especially fond of the ...

I'm still on the hunt for something I can use to add whites traditionally. Before I used white ink, here I used acrylic paint. The paint looks fine in the video but both it and the ink dried looking kinda ugly. But they scanned okay so it's not really a problem except to the perfectionist in me.
This is a page I was really looking forward to and loved drawing it but I did no...

I managed to go a while without any video problems, but for some reason it stopped recording while doing the fills. I'm actually bummed because I wanted to see lettering the writing on the wall with the brush but it stopped before that.
I had tape put around the cryo pod the alien was stuck in as an extra security thing and brought it b...

Like I said when I posted the WIP, this is the page that made me cry because I kept spilling my damn ink. Normally I record the process in 3 parts but this is like, 6 because I kept having to stop to clean stuff.
Still not sure how I feel about the reflections on the windows, the gradient feels a bit cheaty but the initial plan I had (...
