Inking My Webcomic
Webcomics from Concept Art
Video of Page 24 in progress
Hi all! Here is a video capture of when I was drawing Ace in the first panel of Page 24.
Boar Hunting
Happy Thanksgiving! I was going to draw Ace catching a turkey, but Pelkern doesn’t have much in the way of feathered creatures. (Nor would they celebrate a USA holiday, if we’re being technical). Pelkern does have boars, though, so here is Ace getting ready to spear a boar for a feast. : D Here is… Continue reading Boar Hunting

I painted it from a photo I took in Meersburg Castle in Germany. (The plaques were in German, and I didn’t have the foresight to photograph the plaques… Continue reading Study of Armor from Meersburg Castle
Page 28 going up Thursday Morning
I haven’t finished coloring Page 28, so it’ll go Thursday Morning. This is a Preview of Panel 1, because I liked how the inking layer turned out.
Still Hard at Work on Page 28
Here’s another preview of the upcoming page, and the reason this page is taking so long–There are a lot of characters on this page, including 4 who haven’t appeared yet in this comic. This is Panel 5. From left to right, Carolyn’s 3 younger brothers Kevin, Oren, and Vincent, her mother Maia, an unknown man,… Continue reading Still Hard at Work on Page 28
