Inktober - Day 7

Inktober - Day 7

This one is based on what one of my colleagues imagines my home life is like.

I've used this technique for concept art in the past. It amounts to doing a sketch with a brush pen, trying to shade it with a smaller pen, then hating it and just scribbling on it and putting water all over it until it looks vaguely acceptable. It usually ends up... adequate.

Inktober - Day 16

When chatting to my little sister she said she thought Violet was kneeling down in the previous picture of these two. So I thought I'd draw a height comparison to show what's really going on.

Violet is right on the bottom end of the normal range for humans. Vrega are generally bigger than humans anyway, and Meruch is big even for a Vrega. Next to each other they look like an adult and a child, although they're both fully-grown.

I've made some more mini-notebooks to take to London MCM tomorrow. I've got 10 Free! based ones, so I've only made 4 of each design. (40 seemed quite enough to be sewing in one day.)

Hmm... I wonder if I can get my cross-hatching to look like this.

He heard the birds talking above him.

Inktober - Day 11

On the 11th I was crazy busy prepping for the Cheltenham Small Press Fair, so I just bashed out this little Poppet.

Inktober - Day 21

This one isn't as finished as it could have been, because I foolishly only started at 10pm (for reference, that's when I usually go to bed). It came out okay though.

Lottie often sees the Crow Boy in dark places.

In other news, don't forget to come see Sammy and me at London MCM Expo this weekend! We'll have the Goth Anthology and Mrs Woolf and a Halloween music zine and all sorts!
