Working on this page of #art for my #comicbook has taught me that I should probably be using the technique of the #silhouette more often while #makingart since it looks great and TBH saves time. #inking has been going well this time. Can't wait to show you more!

The unsung hero of any #comicbook is #lettering + by far the majority of it is done digitally nowadays, & I do my dialogue/captions in #illustrator cuz of my workload + for clarity, but #SFX on the page I'm trying to do using #traditionalart tools & techniques. I think I need to study graffiti.

The #art for this #comicbook page is flying by! Usually when I am #makingart by the time I post video I've filmed along the way I'm still relatively close to where I was when I filmed the #wip vid, but this time I'm now deep in inking when I'm posting these pencils! I'm getting faster!

Good news on the #comicbook front! See you in #Kitchener for the #KCAF on June 20th! More details to follow! Kitchener #Comic #Arts Festival here I come!

I still can't find a better set-up for filming myself #makingart , cuz o' my big head and bad eyes, so I know it's hard to see the actual #comicbook page but I wanna document my actual making of #art using these traditional methods because I think it matters nowadays.

Lemme hit ya with a little bit o' that hot #WIP sauce! Cannibal Crime issue 2 page 18 #makingart #comicbook #indiecomics #art

Oh boy! Oh boy! I never thought a #Transformers x #HotWheels official collaboration would ever happen! (I still kinda wanna make my own custom ones out of actual Hot Wheels cars though.)

Making #comicbooks is a labour of love that I'm teaching myself, which means constantly re-evaluating how I do things and making notes on what to do next time.Like doing a better job on my #thumbnail proportions so my #layout is easier to convert. #art #wip

In this economy the savvy #Manga buyer in #Toronto knows to scope out their local #BMV

Oh boy, I'm talking about #comicbook #collecting and #spreadsheets today folks! Gotta find ways to make tough decisions easier especially with my #ADHD

One #comicbook page done but the issue is still #WIP I find myself so challenged and yet so at home with sequential #art and #traditionalart despite digital being the industry standard, it doesn't make me feel connected to the history and culture of #comics the way physical materials and tools do.

I love #makingart but, increasingly & most especially, making #comicbooks . I'm slow & I'm teaching myself everything along the way, and I really want to find my audience, but I'm #drawing it and enjoying it regardless.

Just some thoughts about how much joy I get from the growing involvement of #Japanese #jrock #jmetal #jpop et al. bands are coming to #Toronto

When you're in #Toronto looking for #Manga, visit one of the #BMV locations, you'll find something you're missing. #Tokyopop was a a Strange company, + only about half of #IkkiTousen was ever released as Battle Vixens in English. I'm not saying it's good , just a nostalgic + unfinished one for me.

Sometimes life works out to be pretty cool and I get to sell my #comicbooks to someone. HMU if you wanna get some #comics made by a #Canadian creator!

Watch me ramble and assemble a #Tokusatsu figure! #Metalder so far is my favorite #MetalHero series, and #TopGunder is a big part of that. Wish I could get an S.H.Figuarts toy of him. Uhm.. #VRTroopers fans may like this too!

I did ask for help using my weak spoken #Japanese language skills and translated text, and found this awesome #artbook that will hopefully help me make my #comicbooks that much better! Never be afraid to ask for help!

Figuring out the #makingart side of making #comicbooks makes way more sense to me than the selling them side & here we are with these unsold books from the #comicshop consignment section. FYI willing to ship anywhere, bit shipping from Canada internationally can be pricey so I only said Canada.

Okay, I did it. The #AnimeFigure shelves have been dusted and reorganized to have all the new stuff on them. Time for a #ShelfTour video eh?

Next step is underway, still part of the #inking process technically, its the grey markers' turns to shine. #wip #makingart #comicbooks Do you really NEED more reasons to follow me?

Back at the drawing board, working on small details in the background of this page of my #comicbook . it's all #wip #makingart #inking vibes RN, but screentone is coming soon!

Every trip I take to #Japan I end up with so many great new #AnimeFigures to add to the shelves (and don't forget #Tokusatsu merch!) so I ahhhve a whole ass project ahead of me.

#Animagear are one of my newer obsessions. They're candy toys, technically, and they're little #ModelKits too. Made by #Bandai and I'm super excited to finally share them with you and find all of y'all who are interested in them too!

So more of that new angle where my big head doesn't block the view of me #MakingArt .... but for some things I can't avoid getting my head in frame LOL #comicbooks #indiecomics #inking #bighead

My most exciting purchase from my latest trip to #Japan is this #TowerRecords branded brand new #CDPlayer I still love CDs + always buy new ones at concerts & in Japan. it's Bluetooth compatible so my pickle speaker is doing work until i get new speakers. Boom box died long ago. CDs were lonely

I finally found a set-up where sometimes I can work on #art w/o my big head being in frame/blocking the work. W/ my bad eyes, this is a win it may not be exciting but I'm happy I can do process video of my #comicbook making experience. #MakingArt in as human a way as possible is important.

The last bit of video I filmed before vacation. This page of my #comicbook is almost done the #inking phase. I've lost a lot if motivation when I got the official rejection fr9m #TCAF and then came back from vacation sick, but I'll get back in the groove fast.

Every tiny fragment of progress is important. #comicbooks #makingart #inking #indiecomics #OCart

More old footage catch up! Can all of my #comicbook pages technically be considered #OCArt ? They are all my "original characters" after all... Anyways, #inking on this page actually feels like it looks far more decent than my usual feelings on my inks.

Woah! Backlog video catch up! Here's my finished #Digimon #OCart update! I really enjoy reinterpreting my old, childhood #art and this guy got a lot of #Tokusatsu energy mixed in because, how could he not?

Working slowly still on updating my #Digimon #OCart. The #comicbook takes priority, but brains need play too.

Making mistakes is part of #makingart , and when ypu are making #comicbooks deadlines often mean there's no time to correct mistakes that don't "ruin" the page. In my production pipeline I have too many pages left for b9th #pencil and #ink stages to scrap the page.

So, TBH, I'm further ahead than this but I'm tryna catch up on posting older filmed #wip updates for my #comicbook ! Even though I've been rejected by TCAF, I still l9ve #makingart #comicbooks ! uhm that's all for now....
