Before I went any further, I slapped the two side by side to make sure they felt cohesive. I like to think they read well enough as twins and hopefully their designs are clear enough to give you a sense of who the two are without needing all the extra text in the main sheets.

I'm happy with it!

Finally finished the twins! I wanted them to have enough similarities to be obviously recognizable as siblings, but also have as many traits that are uniquely theirs.

It's easy to get sloppy with your main OCs, so as silly as it felt at first, I'm glad I got around to these.

I just realized I forgot to flip her choker on the bottom right, but oh well. Sue me.

I updated my Patreon tiers!

Now "Stars and Sips Society" can join monthly writers' rooms calls on Discord, to get story advice and brainstorming help from me and other creators.

In the last one we discussed one member's short stories, another member's comic, and my own plot problem in Chapter 5.

Flats! I need to do the rest of the background, but that's a good place to stop. (I should've been in bed an hour ago.)

My new job gives me a lot more time to work on my projects, although the workdays themselves are longer. May as well make the most of the days off!

I've desperately needed to make proper character reference sheets for Shinobu and Cole for some time now. I still can't figure out why I get so nervous making these darn things!

I'm still doing the sketchy Nora journal ones, too, but these are more for the actual comic work. (With trivia, though!)

Practicing a simpler coloring for the comic than what I'm usually comfortable with! I think it looks good enough, though, and that's good enough for me. (Also, yes, small preview!)

I feel like I need to tap the sign cause I keep seeing people trying to "dunk" on hateful peeps on my feed.

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'

"Art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go f*ck itself!” Guillermo del Toro is a guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival. He presents his adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", which audiences got to see on the big screen before it streams on Netflix next month.

May today be a day where even though you had to use a few substitutions the recipe came out great anyway.

Character bios!

I've always loved the character pieces at the end of the Bleach manga and thought it'd be fun to throw some together to introduce/reintroduce the goobers while I plug away at the comic itself.

The others are coming soon!

I apologize, too -- you can probably tell which order I did these in as I decided just how detailed and/or loose I wanted to be with 'em. 😅

(The rest are on the way soon, but I got excited.)

To prove I haven't just been hiding under my desk and eating jellybeans and soda this whole, time~ Have some sketches!

(I always really loved the character bio things at the end of the Bleach manga, and thought it'd be fun to introduce/re-introduce the goobers with some.)

Practice drawing the boys and with coloring. I'm not very practiced in drawing guys, much less particularly muscular ones, but I'm working on it.

It's messy, it's constantly going through changes, and you can see where I've dumped panels I like but am saving for later, but man -- it's cool to zoom out and be like, "Good lord, it's coming together."

Just a little at a time.
