Sketches: Amanda and Kieran

Posted on November 11, 2013 by BrassyDel

This one is Amanda and Kieran. I think I already showed you guys Kieran’s new look, at least I did on Twitter already. So if you didn’t see it yet… here it is! Tada! Amanda hasn’t changed a whole lot visually. Her face is a little rounder and more pixie-like, and that’s about it. Still lots of curly blonde hair…

Sketch Roundup This Week!

Posted on November 10, 2013 by BrassyDel

I’ve been posting a lot of sketches on Twitter later, and I know that for some of you it’s really hard to see the images there because you read on your phone, and then it’s gone into the ether. Or you are a Luddite and hate Twitter. So if you follow me on Twitter, you’re still going to see sketches…

Fanart Friday: Suzy from Paranatural!

Posted on November 8, 2013 by BrassyDel

I recently discovered Paranatural by Zack Morrison after he joined Hiveworks, and I am in LOVE. His story is a fun paranormal middle grade adventure and his colors are the bomb, guys. Lots of fun visual effects. As I am wont to do, I drew some fanart because that’s the least creepy way I know to express appreciation and gratitude…

Amanda Makes the Teen Face [Tomodachi Forever]

Posted on October 31, 2013 by BrassyDel

Scripting the new Tomodachi Forever has been going really well, but I noticed that having a bunch of teenagers (17-21) means they make a LOT of this face. There’s also a lot of texting, but it took me about 120 pages to get to someone taking a selfie, so oops. That’s probably not so accurate. If you’re following along on…

Fanart Friday: Joyce Brown! (Dumbing of Age)

Posted on October 25, 2013 by BrassyDel

Happy Fanart Friday! It’s Joyce from Dumbing of Age, which is apparently everyone’s favorite webcomic by David Willis. I’m still waiting for my It’s Walky! collectors edition, though. I would probably buy that sucker in hardbound if Willis ever makes one available. I have a Roomies! book, actually, but no It’s Walky!. Probably because Willis is an evil, evil man….

Kevin Final Colors [Tomodachi Forever]

Posted on October 23, 2013 by BrassyDel

I’ve been playing with faster coloring methods, like the white and dark red opacity method, but… I don’t like it as much. Yes, it is good enough and it is sure as heck faster. But I really, really like picking just the right colors for shading, especially with hair. And I’m happiest with hair when it’s got 5 different colors…

Kevin: Flat Colors! [Tomodachi Forever]

Posted on October 21, 2013 by BrassyDel

I cleaned up the sketch of Kevin and laid down some flat colors. I had my extensive color palette from when I did the first draft of Tomo a decade ago, but I didn’t like the colors. The blonde for his hair was particularly off.

Kevin Sketch [Tomodachi Forever]

Posted on October 16, 2013 by BrassyDel

I’ve been working on re-writing my old webcomic, Tomodachi Forever, and that also means I need to work on art updates. Here’s a sketch of Kevin that I’m extremely happy with this, so this is it! This is what Kevin looks like now. I did notice that as I’m writing, he and Kiran have sort of swapped personalities. Kevin’s less…

Cholma, Now with More Cape!

Posted on October 14, 2013 by BrassyDel

Because I drew the lineart for this Cholma piece on bristol board, I ran out of space to really fit the cape in. I barely got the top hand in! So the cape was added after in Photoshop. It took a couple tries to get a shape I really liked, but now I’m super happy with how it turned out….

Fanart Friday: Jamie from Girls with Slingshots!

Posted on October 11, 2013 by BrassyDel

It’s Fanart Friday again! Today I’ve got Jamie from the adorable (but not for kids, should be fine for most older teens) webcomic Girls with Slingshots. GWS is written and drawn by the talented Danielle Corsetto, who’s also written for Adventure Time! Jamie’s probably my favorite GWS character. She’s fun, bubbly, and curvy without being a Manic Pixie Dream Girl….
