Chapter 1 #43

Wen‘t a little off the bars with the lace on that lovely lady

Feeling Blue

I saw this pose in an online life drawing session and was inspired✨

Chapter 1 #42 inked

These inks are looking more and more vague...

Chapter 1 #40 TW// decapitation, blood

Again, thought it would be better to put a warning here. I‘m still debating on wether I better censor this update for webtoon or not... will need to do a bit of investigation. Also I really love how this page rurned out

Update/Personal Stuff

Hello Everyone,

An issue has unfolded that I wouldn‘t like to carry to the public but thought it would be right to share with you. Since it might become public soon anyway, if I‘m unlucky.

There is an online ceator who once has been a big inspiration to me and who‘s art helped me get through a mental blockade and discover new possibilities with storytelling.

However, s...

Rehearsal doodles

One thing I miss the most about my choir days is the atmosphere during rehearsals. It‘s a weird mix out of animated, playfull, concentrated, physical, flirty and affirming.

Only on the good days of course haha.

Chapter 1 #41 inked

I wanted Zazu‘s head to be lineless, so here we are. Also a big inspiration for this page was Kay Nielsen‘s art! I think it‘s beautiful.

Chapter 1 #39

Chapter 1 #38

Time for some healthy creative self-doubt 🛎

I changed a few things around and decided to not add the roses because it would have been too much together eith the butterflies.

Also, new favourite page!

Chapter 1 #40

TW: decapitation

Idk if anyone needs a triggerwarning here, but just to be safe.

Really happy with this page! First one with the new technique :)

Packaging you prints!

This was so much fun! I have never done anything to this extent before, but it has given me so many ideas how to make themed products and then pack and send them according.

This obviously is an invitation to an exclusive little concert.

First I had to cut the carton to fit into t...

Chapter 1 #37

slowly easing into the new style... still have to deal with the old linework

Also, I need your help! You know when an opera is about to start and for the audience the bell rings three times, but you also get signals backstage and by the first you start going to the stage, by the second you better be rushing and by the third you're about to go on stage. Well how do you call that in english...

Lino Prints product shots

The long awaited lino prints!

I don't have a lighting setup here, so I had to deal with the sun light and the persian rug in my room on these. Very rudimentary haha. But also fitting imo.

Please comment below which colour (either black/red) you would like to receive. I know a few aren't very active on here, so I will give you a week time and he ones that don't comment a colour will ...

Chapter 1 #39 ‚inked‘

A Small Update

Hello everyone!

As you may have noticed (or maybe not) the art style in Little Starling fluctuates quite alot. I started the comic amongts other things to have an outlet to play around with styles and adapt what I like on the way. Lately the art hasn‘t corresponded with what I wanted the comic to feel like, so I had to go through a few changes.

This is an illustration I made with ...

Lino Print Process

So, today I printed the editions!! They turned out better than I had expected (for my first proper lino cut try) and I am SO happy with them.

I printed two colours: black and Caput Mortuum (a sort of blueish-rust). I will do a poll on who would prefer which colour, so keep an eye on notifications!

In the following week I will also go all-out on promotional fotos and upload them to m...

Chapter 1 #38 ‚inked‘

I‘m really looking forward to colouring this page!

Should I add roses? I think I’ll add roses!

Chapter 1 #36

Chapter 1 #35

First time using action lines

Chapter 1 #34

Papa always sings the wrong verses during mass.

Lino Print Patreon Reward

Hey everyone,

Occasionally I like to experiment with other mediums than digital. These are variations of a lino print of Zazu I have been thinking about for a while now. I would like to send all my ‚Prodigy‘ and ‚Maestro‘ tier patreons a print of this edition to show my gratitude! For this I will likely need to look into your addresses to send them to you, I think this is possible...

Chapter 1 #37 inked

You can‘t see the decor yet but in the second panel Vince is struggling with flowers.

It is easter already and the Magnolia is glowing

I wish you all a happy holiday or sunday. Thank you so much again for your support and believing on what I do. 🌸

Chapter 1 #36 inked

Chapter 1 #33

Edit: I keep on forgetting to add the coal stains... Had to edit almost all these pages retrospectively

Chapter 1 #32

Chapter 1 #35

Still figuring out if I like ‚blobby‘ ink marks or rectangular ink marks better...
I recently purchased ‚Mater Doloris‘ illustrated by Gigi Cavenago and that really encouraged me to play around with textures more. Let‘s see what his influence does with me!

Chapter 1 #34

4 panels each with a ton of people and all backgrounds with wonky perspectives, this page took a bit of my life

As you can see, I am experimenting a little bit mit black marks and higher contrasts to get soem moodyness into the scenes. Let‘s see how well this does when colouring and if I should stick with it

Exploration sketches (NSFW)

Okay, maybe only one of them is slight nsfw

I‘ve been wanting to play around with these sort of illustrations and minimalist sketches for a while now and finally came around to it.

I‘m still foguring out how to get that subtleness that you usually only see in nude life drawing. This will be somewhat of an adventure, as most of the things I have done now are maximum atmosphere an...
