- It's wild how I'd throw in a random combined weapon like a flute sword and it actually existed. The history of this weapon is also very interesting. Some says its an assasin's blade.
- (new) Illustration for my Knight OC, Callum. His final design & how he will look in the comic. A quiet musician boy carrying a bag that contains his sword in a flute. To fight, he enters the Mirror realm to face his opponents. #ocart #ocsky #characterdesign #webcomic #artshare
- What I love to add in my comedy comics: background OCs commenting about what readers and they are seeing in a different POV, like this page from Ranma. #manga #comedy
- Reading a helpful guide on creative panels that I'll be trying out with my comic series. It helps draw interest in your pages. Looking for ways to draw dance sequences
- Creating my comic's new cover art! Now updated with the linework ver. Main leads are Callum the knight who guards Miss Luuta. She'll try to make her school life fun anyways! #characterart #illustration #webcomic #oc #dailyocs #ocsky
- OC-WIP-Wednesday!! Show us what you're working on currently 💪🏻🎨📝🎼🛠 #dailyocs
- Such a cute style, definitely signing up with my OC!
- It's morning and this is how Luuta starts her day (more in the full comic wip) #OC #ocsky #webcomic #artshare #illustration
- Being queer, I'll be introducing queer platonic in Luuta & the Knight, there's not only romantic love portrayed, there's other types of relationships
- I'll have more pairings in my comic, I also have a sapphic couple that is in development. Everyone in Arydia, treats queer couples as no different from straights
- Drafted 6 pages yesterday, going to do more and ink some panels!
- Here's one of my fave pairs. I'm developing them as a friends to lovers relationship. Altho they're just friends currently. #oc #ocsky #artshare #webcomic #characterart
- #CoupleQuestion💗 Show us the sweetest couple art or writing of your OCs!! (SFW only!!) #dailyocs
- Sometimes I draw chapters as I go. I just let the story flow out, and then my MC started causing trouble!
- After reworking, writing, finalising the plot points. I think my comic title should be; "Luuta and her Knight" as the story is lead by 2 characters, not just her.
- After attending a talk on pitching graphic novels, these pitches are getting so elaborate! In a nutshell, you have to make a book presentation of the story, cast and yourself
- Never mind jobs you had, tell me 5 classes you took in college: - Short film storyboarding 📽️ - Background Design & Paint for 2D Ani 🎨 - Children's literature - Life drawing (lots of it) ✏️ - Packaging design 📦
- Working hard on my pages! It's slowly coming along. Just thinking how to write the sypnosis. Their world is similar to our modern day but with fantasy characters attending school instead of humans.
- Thinking of putting together a zine for my dance art and it'll be named Briar Rose ballet showcase; its from the top fae dancers in my comic
- Now my comic is starting to be a mash of fantasy school life with dancing and magical battles. It's why my knight's uniforms are based on theatrical costumes.
- If any artists want to study the Line of Action in figure drawing, study dance moves and ballet dancing, the line of action is quite prominent. It's been a fun challenge to draw different dance movements
- #OC Jacques is a male elf ballet dancer, he's one of the tallest boys. Practicing to draw him in various real life ballet poses #dancing #sketch #ocsky #artshare #ballet
- Decide to have the boys uniform to match. They are either male ballet dancers or tap dancers. #oc #ocsky #wip #webcomic #costume
- Designing a fantasy dance school for my #OC Luuta called the Briar Rose Ballet. Just added their own emblem. This will be seen in the comic whenever she goes to school #ocsky #costume #wip #webcomic #dailyocs
- OC-WIP-Wednesday!! Show us what you're working on currently!! 💪🏻🎨📝🎼🛠 #dailyocs
- I realized my first comics were made in middle school! Now it's making a full circle back as I draw this comic for all ages and knowing what kids loved to read in my books, even if my art wasn't as great back then.
- How I picture an animated shot of Callum's posing with the knight uniform appearing.
- Someday I'd like to animate my sparkly magical boy scenes of Callum's transformation into his knight attire.
- After writing out my story concepts, world system and matching many parts together, I was surprised how much I enjoyed writing Song of Luuta. I almost couldn't believe I made this, and I like my OC pairing! (usually I struggle with a compatible pair)
- My advice: If you find that you have a complicated story with too many subjects & plot paths going elsewhere, don't be afraid to cut off the extras and focus on the central plot that stands out to you. It really worked for my storywriting. #oc #storywriting
