I started inking the expanded body for this original designs and am really digging the power that curve in the back is adding to the overall piece. Though looking at what I penciled up yesterday for the other phases of the transformation I'm not really feeling them anymore. I think I can salvage the face and hair for the first but pic of Orphan but the body's elongated form doesn't feel as interesting as I hoped it would yet. Then the second pic I did feels like its not working at all so I'll seek out something with more of the energy that this expanded 3rd piece has. Tell me what you think though and don't forget the "Roll for Loot Contest" is live! Jump on in there and cast dem bones. And don't forget to spread the word as each new patron or upped pledge will boost the pot. I would love to have the problem of having to draw 50 sketches due to an addition of 50 patrons. XD The second image here also feels too close to the final form. an issue I'm always struggling with.

The completed inks for the latest novella pic.
The completed color version will only be available as early access until the project is officially complete. Seeing how this ones been turning out I see now that I really need to go back and adapt the "Battle for the Doom Cabin" piece. It's been needing some minor improvements, but I think I need to completely redraw orphan for that piece. As I was still narrowing down her final shewolf design when that first piece was done so long ago. This piece will have quite a bit of blood spray. You might not be able to tell without the colors but the Monstress is having her throat torn out by Orphan. Most of the torn tendrils are thanks to Vampire's necromancer bolts. to include the blown out eye and gaping wound in her torso. I'm not precisely sure how to classify this creature. It starts off as a ghost, tied to a pocket dimension, but shes able to go corporeal when psychic attacks failed to get the job done. Perhaps this shouldn't be the final appearance of this monster. maybe the next time she appears she'd be better suited as a minion for Vampire. Inks are finally complete! Been adding / pulling back on them a tad as I worked in the flats.
I'll reveal those tomorrow! ^ o^ Finally the inks are complete! Just in time for...
... ಠ_ಠ Well their finished. XD Man the scope of this piece has grown so much I can't believe it. Some details might be difficult to make out currently but I assure you that once I get the colors layered in things will really start to pop. Just wondering now if I shouldn't go more for a Bluish hue overall or a more rose like sepia. I guess I should go back and add just a few more clothing elements to the Shewolf and Gillgal. Just to ensure I have a SFW version for the main merch line. Perhaps take away a bit from the Vampire. Meaning I got more inking to do still, tho I should be able to get to coloring tomorrow, er... today I guess. Ah well no rest for the weary. I must push on. Which spooky lady has been your favorite so far? I'm open to ideas on the color schemes. I'll be aiming to set them up though so that they really pop against the background and from one another. I'm really hoping that I'm able to make some decent returns on this. this has been one of the most time intensive individual illustrations I've attempted so far. And there's still about a week more to go at it. Y oY After It's finished I'll be knocking out the sketches for the recent batch of contest and birthday recipients. Please help me to spread the word, and or consider lending me a hand by becoming a patron, or even just a single donation would be awesome. I'll give u a months worth of Patron benefits if u do. ^ o^ Overall I'm really happy with how its developing. why can't I seem to get any feedback tho, I wonder. The 8th and final Spooky Lady is complete!!! The gangs all here now! :D Tomorrow I'll begin the background. There's a lot to lay down but I'm hopeful that I'll be able to finish that in a day as well. I'm not entirely sure how detailed I'll wanna get with the colors. I'm contemplating using rich colors with sharp anime styled shadows to ensure everything reads well in the final print. Still gotta contemplate what I want to use the individual figures for merch wise.
perhaps a shirt for each one? Enamel Pins? Bookmarks? Body pillows? Snrk well their probably not large enough for that. XD Tell me what you think tho! I crave your feedback. And please dont forget to help share them online. I need all the help I can get. ^ O^ 7th Spooky Lady inks are complete!
1 more to go! Don't forget! The Halloween Roll for Loot Contest ends tonight! Dont forget to cast your entry. ^ _^ If your roll was close to winning u might want to bump Your chances by becoming a patron. minimum tier is only 2 dollars a month, and is a great aid to my work. ^ o^ The 6th monster girl is complete! Princess Ana'k.
This was a tricky one to figure out. trying to zero in on having just enough detail but not too much to where it starts to lose the form. I think it came out perty well overall. ^ o^ What do you think tho? Two more spooky ladies to go, and I think those 2 should proceed a bit faster than the previous ones the background tho... not looking forward to inking that XD, but hopefully I can go a bit looser on the background. Which one has been your favorite so far? Don't forget to share and tell ur friends. I need all the help I can get raising awareness of my work. :p Gill Gal is finally inked!
The Mummy is next! Took quite a while to get the face to where it was satisfying to me for this one. I'm pretty happy with how it came out though, ^ o^ Don't forget the October "Roll For Loot" contest is still live! Finally managed to get the Shewolf inked. I'm toying with the name of her being named Liza Talbot.
^ o^ Man this project is moving far slower than I expected it to. Tho despite that I'm really digging how its coming together. I just recently had my birthday and had a lot of fun with my family and friends online. I also got a surprising number of fan art for some of my characters that I will be posting up here soon as well as rewarding them with sketch requests in return! :D It wouldn't have been nearly as enjoyable month if not for all of my amazing patrons whove done a ton to help me make ends meet this month! Seriously you all rock! ^ o ^ I'll be holding a Roll for Loot Contest later in the week so be sure to keep an eye open for that. :D I suspect now that I'll be very lucky to be able to finish this piece before Halloween but I'll do my best. Then I'll be jumping head long into the Crimson Dames Novella, I need to get that thing out there as soon as possible. ^ o^ I really need to start picking days to focus on writing tho at least 2 days a week I'd say to really get some good short stories together. Tell me what you think so far I'd love to hear your feedback. ^ _^ |
