AMPLE Chapter 2 | Writing and roughing part 1

Hello! I've roughed out a good chunk of pages for AMPLE's second chapter this week. This isn't all of them, but I'm not sure if I like the flow of Plenty's conversation with Modest in the pages that come after the ones I've shared. 

Like most of this comic (and literally all of the above pages), Plenty and Modest's scene is improvised. That being said, I've known for a while what goa...

"Verona" from script to pictures

(Images include thumbnails up to page 16, and roughs up to page 4)

EDIT: forgot to include content warnings for the script and the thumbnails (if they're legible, lmao) -- these 16 pages include violence and some very brief dubious explicit content...Trying not to get flagged by patreon.

I finally wrapped up the script (and my very rough scripting thumbnails) last week! Like with "W...

Dipping my toes back into making comics about my established characters....

A post about "Verona" (working title)

If you've been following my sketchbooks for the past couple of months, you probably recognize these characters. In August-September I wrote the script for my next short comic, first intending to pitch it somewhere in 2024, and then deciding to work on it for ShortBox's 2024 comics fair.

After I write a script, I'll usually break it down into individual pages. I do this by making rough thu...

December 2023 - Final Petunia Sketchbook (Read description)

Hello! Don't be scared! I've decided to stop making monthly sketchbooks. I've made them for about four years now, with fluctuating regularity lmao, but it's been a long time since I've made one that felt "organic". When I make these sketchbooks, everything in them is drawn specifically FOR the sketchbook. It eats up the time I could be spending on my work and has made it impossible for me to dr...

Carnation Comic Poll December 2023

Already decided December is most likely going to have a silent comic to keep it shorter lol. 

I want to go with a "Ghost Story for Christmas" vibe...Something cozy and a little (or very!) eerie. But also something that would melt M.R. James's brain into a puddle of goo. You decide the nature of this yuletide haunting....

Ty for your patience!! This one ended up being way longer than I expected. December's comic will probably be shorter, lmfao. 

Thanks for reading <3

Carnation Comic Poll November 2023

Still feeling a little burnt out on my established characters, so I think I'm going to finish out the year making new guys for these comics.

Keeping the prompts vague just like I did in October, but this time I want to pick some things where the winner won't be as predictable lmao.

(NSFW) Kinktober 16-18

Finally finished a couple more of these!! I'm prioritizing literally everything else over these drawings so they'll be coming out sporadically, but I do intend to finish the series :^)

(cw for blood and a brief scene of self harm/wrist injury)

Wanted to try something a little different for Halloween...New characters and a slightly more intense kind of story. Probably more in line with my non-erotic work! 

Thanks for your patience this month, and Happy Halloween if you celebrate <3

Petunia Sketchbook October 2023

....Realized i've used the same character for a cover three months in a row, lmfao. She's from a script I've finished but need to find the time to rework before I do anything with it. 

Some misc. character design + symmetry tool experimentation this month. I haven't been feeling very motivated to draw, so only drawing half of a picture has been good for my brain.

AMPLE update 10/13 (CHAPTER END)

(I've included the pages from previous updates as well for easier reading! This chapter in full is NSFW)

Ahhhh this chapter is finally finished!! My cat has still been in and out of the vet (he's doing well now...knock on wood....), so it was a little tough finding time to work on these pages outside of my usual workload. 

I really wanted to get this finished in time to be able...

Carnation Comic Poll October 2023

I'm a little bit burned out of my current characters, so I'm trying something new this month. In keeping with the Halloween spirit ofc >:^)

Letting these prompts be fairly vague because I don't want to do a lot of planning for them ahead of time!

Also wow the UI for new Patreon is somehow worse than old Patreon LOVE IT!!!!!!

AMPLE update 9/29

More pages this time! Just 13 left to go until I wrap up this chapter. I think I want to wrap up chapter 2 before I start posting pages publicly, but we'll see.

Ty for your patience with this one!! I meant to have it out last week, but cat shenanigans have been taking up most of my time lately.

AMPLE Update 9/13

Just a few pages this time but I wanted to show some of the progress I've been making on these pages. All but two of them were drawn today in about ~3 hours, so I feel pretty good about the pace I can get them done. I'm working at a lower level of quality than I would use for my shorter work, but moving quickly and creating an interesting story are my main goals.

Petunia Sketchbook September 2023

Some rough pages for AMPLE and one from SAINTBRIDE along with some misc stuff. I've roughed out pages for AMPLE up to the end of chapter 1, and I'm hoping to have a big update posted by the end of the month!

Carnation Comic Poll September 2023

Keeping it simple this time! I'm working on a giant batch of AMPLE pages right now so I've had Modest and Innocent on the brain. 

(NSFW) Carnation Comic August 2023

The most amount of characters I've had in one of these comics and I think I'm looking forward to going back to two next month. It was fun but def required a lot more brainpower than I have right now lol. 

Hope you enjoy <3

Petunia Sketchbook August 2023

Some visual brainstorming for a future minicomic :^) I want to try and make something under 50 pages...A difficult challenge for me, lol. 

I don't want to say too much about it for now. I'm still in the process of writing it and my schedule for the next year is very much up in the air. Hopefully I get to make this one way or another.

Chasing my bliss this month. Sorry. 

Not going to include in-depth descriptions since I want to stay more flexible with these ideas this month. Poll ends in a week!

Thanks for your patience on this one!! Between wrapping up When Death Comes and moving apartments, this month has felt like 10,000 years haha. August's comic will for sure be up earlier in the month.

I also realized halfway thru coloring this comic that I used the same gradient map last month lol. Sorry.

Finally, here are the rest of the inked pages I promised! 

The comic is mostly finished outside of nitpicky edits. I decided against using tones, which is exciting because it means less work for me lol. 

Thanks for sticking with me this month as updates have been sparse! I'm settled into my new apartment and back to work. This month's Carnation comic will be up by the end ...

I have a lot of work to wrap up this month on top of moving, so I've been using my sketchbook to draw things that relax me (boobs). Also a rare self portrait...I didn't use ref for it. I don't think it looks like me but my husband does. I guess he loo...

Carnation Comic Poll - July

Hello!! Just going with two options this month because I want to do one of them and I don't want to write up a third I'm not as jazzed about lmao. 

I'm moving this month! That means July's Carnation comic will more than likely be out in the last week of the month (when we're settled into the new place). I said it might be shorter than usual, but knowing myself.......probably not.
