I have been up for almost 30 hours. My brain is dying. But I can't let how bad the anatomy on the arm look go.  Here's the redline, I may adjust it in the shoulder a little bit, but this is wh...

Toph Heavy Part 3 - Page 16 - Final

About this page: Once again I changed the dialog because of the art. As I was rendering, I noticed that Hippo's arm looked like it was bent the wrong way. He could be double jointed, but it still l...

Should I just start releasing it now??

The plan was to finish all of Toph Heavy Part 3, delete everything here, post it to gumroad, and then post a page publicly once a week to sort of entice people into the gumroad purchase. I'm not su...

I meant to post this yesterday, but God of War Ragnarok is awfully distracting. Also, we had our first shovel-worthy snowfall yesterday, and that got in the way. So this took about two days to re-r...

I may come back to this to clean it up a bit. I'm not sure if the... form shadow is too... mushy in some places. I mean, I want certain areas to be very soft, obviously, but I don't want to turn it...

I did 90% of the work on this page a few months ago. Today, it was just a matter of cleaning up the rendering. I thought about adding more detail to the ship. However, I redrew that ship months ago...

Cliche pose, easy page. Though, I did give a chance to show off what I think Toph's figure is. I've been critisized for not giving my characters ass. I assure you that's for two reasons. First, her...

 Super happy with how this turned out. The cel-shade version of this is why I completely changed to a soft shading approach. I really wanted to give Poppy some shine. Who knows. There could ev...

What do you think so far?

We're 10 pages in, and I just want to check in with you guys and get your feedback.

Here's my self-assessment:

From my perspective pages 6, 7, 9, and 10 represent one of the most diff...

I hope you like this page. I think of all the pages so far, this one was the most challenging. It took 6 days to render. This page alone has been redrawn 3 or 4 times. I think that's because I'm tr...

Toph Heavy Part 3 - Page 9 - Final

Sorry that this page took so long. The bird took a while (I'm still not happy with it.) and I spent a lot of time refining the first 8 Pages. I'll probably edit this as well if I see anything that ...

And that's it for this batch. Once again, I'm just gonna start posting the final pages here as I finish them. This coloring method is time-consuming and takes about two to three days at the longest...

This page took 3 weeks. Partially because I was mentally paralyzed by real world garbage, but also because I kept redoing "splortch" That bulbous area on the H was supposed to be a baby being expel...

This part of the plot is kind of why I wanted to release all at once. Toph's infertility is solved by the end of Part 3, but I don't go into what made her infertile in Part 3. That particular myste...

Apologies for my abscence.

Pin Up 1 Sketch - Toph in a Denim Leotard

So... since Toph Heavy is just coloring right now, I can feel my drawing skill weakening. Drawing is a muscle, if you don't do it, it atrophies. So I'm taking your prompts and drawing them out as w...

Need your opinion, could affect the rest of the comic
