The last time the warlord was drawn in my comic was a full year ago. Crazy how time flies. So happy to draw him again.

Had the honor of being a part of Rebelle 8 BETA group. Here are some experimental sketches I did with the new bristle brushes from Rebelle 8 Pro.

Can't believe this painting was made in 2022. Since then, 6 practice chapters and 1 full book of my manhua have been made.
3 years, much has changed.
I'm waiting for Rebelle 8 to come out so I can utilize the new engine for the new painting on streams. Currently using Rebelle 7 to do underpainting.

I really enjoy Rebelle. It's been such a blessing to use it for asset creations. This set is created with 8B Color Pencil Brush on CP22 Cold Press Typography Pape, currently my favorite paper.
Very excited for Rebelle 8!

It's really hard to combat depression from social media. I'm glad I got into comic way later on life. I feel like I'd give up so much faster had I been younger and less mature coping with the negativity I feel from posting on these platforms.

SFX in Eng has been an experience. Huge thanks to my editor for the help, my community for feedback, and my friend Jasko for gathering a bunch of manga translation samples for me to reference.

Sunshine Through the Willow Tree will be available to read soon, estimating early July! 🌤️ Stay tuned.

I think it's hilarious how this was intended to be just a sketch... then I decided to just ROLL WITH IT.

150 pages paneled for the 2nd book in my manhua Sunshine Through the Willow Tree! ☺️
Many people seem curious why I panel a whole book first: Since I have no pressure from publisher, I do what I think is best for my story.

Before working on the first book of Sunshine Through The Willow Tree, I spent half a year making practice chapters in alternative universe.
6 chapters were created, totaling 124 pages.
(My series is read from right to left)
They will be available to read for free soon! Stay tuned 🥳

When your friend sends you flowers to congratulate you on finishing the first volume of your comic and the florist thinks you're pregnant. 😂😂
Honestly it's so cute and it really made my day 💝💐

My 2nd CSP brush pack is now available! 🖌️ (End of vid shows the brush lists)
You can find them via affiliated link in my bio 😊
I designed these specifically to add textures to my comic pages and optimized them in a way that's easy for me to use. Hope you enjoy them as well!

Inkprov piece (sketching based on random blotches of ink) done on stream yesterday! Been awhile since I last did this. Wish I could refine it a bit more but my community was being entertaining and distracting 😂

My new Clip Studio Paint brush pack is finally here!!! 🎊

It's been 5 years since my 1st pack. Making the manhua made me realize I needed to expand. It took a ton of experiment to know what I'm still missing in my workflow, and I'm proud of the outcome. 😊

WIP of the prologue of my manhua Sunshine Through the Willow Tree. This is page 2 to 3.
Streaming is the only time I have to work on this, so it's progressing slowly 😂
Friend: Why are you painting the prologue, do you hate yourself?
Me: Yes.

I've been quiet lately, family visit, preparing for launch of a brush pack and trying to meet the goal of finishing the first book of Sunshine Through the Willow Tree by June.
Single digit of pages left to do!! 😭
Color spread is WIP of the 3-page prologue. Painting it in Rebelle.
Wish me luck!

Over the years, I'd created a ton of assets for my manhua. There were more failures than successes, but it's satisfying to inch closer to my desired looks. Sometimes they were so close, I changed a few things, and it all fell apart 😂 I then get frustrated and put off tweaking them for months, haha.
