Website Home

Tomorrow I'll be messing around with the website and working on pg.13.  I'm having company come over too since it's my birthday as well, dunno how long they will be here until I can resume my work.  Happy to be finished with this so I can move forward to the meat of Decisive Desire.

Website Title (Color WIP)

They color details are coming along nicely.  I think the final thing is adding the body hair to the males and seeing how that turns out.

Website Cover (Color WIP)

Been working on the color for the cover.  I think it's turning out great. I got a lot of the flat color in and I've been working on defining the characters.  Right now I'm working on Nashilia (the red-head).  Got to do a little more on her before I'm finished, but things are looking great.  My fiancé has the computer this weekend and I have some shopping to do but I'll try and...

Website Cover (Lineart)

Been working on both the cover and page 13.  Though I felt more inspired to work on the cover.  I have 11 main characters that show up in the first volume of my book, though there will be plenty more when I get more pages done.

Website Preview

Hey I wanted to show you guys what I've been working on this weekend.  I still have a lot of work to do with it, right now I'm working on illustrations for the Home Page, pretty much like a front cover for the graphic novel shown on the front page.  I got an About the Artist written about me and I feel really good about that.  And I'm super happy with how my Grimoire Crystals and my...

Website

I've been working on getting Decisive Desire it's own website.  Right now I'm designing a layout and whatnot that fits the vibe I'm going for.  I mean it's not going to be perfect and I'm still going to be getting my domain name but it will be really cool to have a website to call my own and call home.  

Raion Grimoire

Reference Sheet of the main character.  Let me know what you guys think of this.  Would you guys like to see character sheets of the important / interesting characters of the story?

Updates

I was wondering what you guys think about updates of pages.  Cause I know it probably gets tedious to see unfinished pages a lot.  Maybe I can ease the updates to something you'll be more into seeing?  

I can do skeleton comic pages (before I start doing the linework, the text bubbles can be included if they are in the page.), sketch of page, cleaned up linework of the page, then ...

Base Character Reference Sheet

Version 2018

This is based off of my character reference sheet I've been sitting on for a while.  Here is what the base looks like, I'm working on a character example sheet at the moment, it will help me with fast coloring and fans that want to do fanart with colors and etc.  So it has multipurpose use.

HP - Health Points (Basic Life of the character)

SP - Spirit Points (Ma...

Our Hero

The main character of Decisive Desire, since he hasn't been really showed off much.  Yet this is him when he is older.

Commission 12.21.17

Christmas themed.

Commission 12.13.17

Practice makes perfect.  I feel like the white also allows the eye to be naturally drawn to the characters.

Content

Ok, I think until I can put out color better, I think I should focus on B&W pages that I can work on later so that story can progress and my page has a steady state of content people can look forward to.  Plus I need to open up commissions until this is a more reliable source of income for me since I only make about 6-7$ a month, I need to think of ways to produce Decisive Desire at a rat...

Aldor

Just wanted to do a quick-ish doodle of Aldor since I haven't drawn him in a while.

V1P2 (WIP).1

First panel again, heh, did a lot of detail with the pillars and decided to do a different design than what was traditionally done and designed the tile walkway.  Hopefully it will look better when I am done with the panel.  I spent like over 12 hours on the pillars and the floor today.  /sweats.

V1P2 (WIP)

Got the panels already laid out for the next page and started working on the first panel. Things can still change before finalized.

V1P1 (Public)

This is how the public one looks.

V1P1

I'd like to say I'm finished and that I can move forward.  I think it looks great for a person who is new to the digital way of art.  I know I can improve but I got to move forward.

V1P1 (WIP).7

I feel like I'm getting pretty close to being done with this page, long process though I'm still learning, I still feel like I can do better but I need to make progress.

V1P1 (WIP).6

Hrm, I feel like I should do more research on the linework on how other digital artists do their pieces just so I have that sort of knowledge, the stuff I learned might be useful for some but I think it takes more work doing it.  

Thanksgiving

Hey guys sorry for the break, been spending time with my fiancé and family.  I hope you all have a good week and enjoy the holiday!  I'll be resuming my work on Monday and hopefully can get the page out asap.

V1P1 (WIP).5

Getting more of the background fleshed out and working on the pedestrian.  Also got my font for the title and the speech bubbles.  Wasn't happy with the provided normal font that goes with computers and stuff so I got new ones I was happy with and that would fit the theme of my story.

V1P1 (WIP).4

Getting closer, I know I have more details to work out with the color and I'm working on another character.  Sorry it's taking a while.

V1P1 (WIP).3

I didn't feel like I was done enough to upload but it's bedtime for me.  Was hoping to get some of the background done and I've been working on trying to get the pathway completed but it's still not done.  

V1P1 (WIP).2

Had little time to work today, but working on the guard and added equipment effects, will work on it more, also added detail to the statue and finished up his coloring, I'm saving the crystals for last.

V1P1 (WIP).1

Working on the statue in the center of the page, I still have things to add to him but I think it's looking great.  The great thing about these statues in the story is that they provide a significant source of light at night or in dark days.  As you can probably also see is that as the statue is made of a stone substance, it is decorated with fabric so that it can be quite animated in wi...

V1P1 (WIP)

Ok so I know I've been working on the November piece for a bit now I'm also going to be working on remastering the pages I have published so far and fixing them up and doing linework for public and then color for you, my patrons.  I only had a little time but found a type of pen that works better for outline in my opinion. 

I am using the pages I have done as reference, I still really ...

November (WIP).10

More is shaded and got some body hair going as well as some grass.  I think it's turning out great, next time though I think I'm not going to ink the background cause I feel like it makes it so I can't do certain things without taking a lot of time to work around what I've already done.  I still really like how it looks but I know it's taking too long than what I originally thought.

November (WIP).9

Doing a little bit more.  Slowly getting there I'm doing the shadows now.  I know I can't be perfect though.

11.07

Fiance had a 3 day weekend so I spent some time with him and was pretty good.  Also got speakers for my computer so now I can finally listen to music while I draw.  Also I wanted to ask you guys about Decisive Desire. 

Would you like to see color even if it would take longer to get to see more story more often or should I do B&W and be able to push more work out faster?  ...
