Wilfrith and Grwn - Roughs - Pages 26-27

I’ve had guests staying at my house for the recent solar eclipse, so I’ve been kind of slow on the drawing of the rough pages. And in addition to that this one gave me a lot of guff. I had a la...

Wilfrith and the Golem Stonemason - 31

For this project one of my original stated goals was “simple colors” which I managed to achieve for the first handful of pages. But by this scene I’m back to shadows and highlights and reflec...

Wilfrith and Grwn - Roughs - Pages 24-25

Wilfrith’s turn! I wanted to make Grwn seem rough and tender. Goal-oriented, with low patience when he can just do it himself. Wilfrith needs to get clean, and he’s going to show him how it’s...

The image I excerpted for the colors was one of my favorite drawings in the entire comic. I workshopped that manic face so so much.

Moving forward I plan not to be blurring non-sexual nudity in the SFW tier. Please let me know if that’s weird or you don’t like it so I can figure something else out.

Anyhow, inside the ...

Map Test 5c

Hey guys! It’s my birthday today, so I figured I’d give you something different to celebrate. Here’s Map Test 5c.

It’s from April 29th, 2021. At that point in time, it was a ...

Looking back at these pages, I was completely out of control with my ambition for the lighting. Steam, rim lighting, two bright windows. Wild, Jon. I remember at this point of the comic, though, I ...

Breaking this sequence into three pages really helped to separate the ideas on the pages out a little more clearly. Again focusing on the value compositions over the rougher drawings—but you can ...

Wilfrith and Grwn - Roughs - Pages 18-19

I took a little gap here between page 18 and 19 because of life stuff, so you can see a bit of a seam between my process whims before and after. Rougher, structure based drawings on page 18, and mo...

After this page, it gets a little too hot and heavy to mosaic without just blurring the whole thing to keep it borderline safe for work, but I still wanted to share some of the things I did here. View Post

I was so proud of how Kapel’s precum sap came out in these pages. It was my first time trying to render it, and it came together really quickly and effortlessly. Trying to recapture that lightnin...

I love doing pages where the gutter isn’t just a cut from moment to moment in a single interaction, but can be recontextualized like this to be a perspective shift back and forth across the gutte...

In the script, I had this as an elaborate transformation sequence on page 14, but when I started drawing it, the impact of just Grwn standing naked over him fit the spirit of the scene so much bett...

Wilfrith and Grwn - Roughs - Pages 14-15

I didn’t expect to draw so much of naked Grwn when I wrote this scene. Like, on one hand, obviously. But when you’re writing (or at least when I’m writing), I don’t really hold all...

The SFW pages will drop off a bit after this point, but I’ll be back when it’s a little less explicit. I wanted to save a few details here for you guys though because there are some hands and f...

I thought I was really going to struggle with this page when I sat down to start, and then it all just came together effortlessly. I think this is about the point of the story where I finally had a...

The idea for these two pages was to continue the demonstration of the hierarchical gap between our two guys.

Oh how these pages gave me grief! Animals never seem to get any easier for me, and yet I keep forefronting them in my stories.

Oh this one’s actually kind of funny for me. Not for what’s on the page, but my roundabout process. I dropped a render of my bathroom 3D model into the first panel to give myself a canvas for d...

This rough is maybe a little too rough if you’re not inside my brain. It’s largely “finished” in the sense that the compositions are down in ways that drawing will lead clarity to. But also...

Our flashback starts with (fingers crossed) some illumination that I put a lot of design effort into. I only gave a general ideal here in this stage, but I figured it made more sense to design with...

This page had a lot of very challenges. Wordless communication between five characters is a strong ask for a single page, so I had to balance a lot of factors here. Starting with the roughs I was t...

I accidentally published something early just now instead of scheduling it, so if you can’t find it now it’s because it’s been rescheduled. In that post’s place, though, I thought I’d sha...

This page was a culmination of wanting to design a huge medieval bath, and to ramp up the mystery a little with some silent pages of Kapel making his moves.
