I was brainstorming a new Hollow Knight parody. Normally, I like to mix them with artworks. While browsing at art, I came up with this idea, instead. It was such an obvious parallel that it is brilliant. I referenced the Beatles with Hollow Knight characters.   I chose the Nailmasters and the Nailsage as stand ins for the Beatles. They are in the City of Tears crossing the road. I added notations to the lineart to remember which lines are white and which ones are black. One of the nailmasters is without his shoes.   He is almost smoking. I...

I wanted to show you one of the raw pages from my Scary Cat book. She is going with her friends to look for ghosts. It has a bit of a twist ending. This children’s book took a little longer to make. I wanted to put a ghost in the story, but I didn’t want to do a supernatural thing. Scary Cat in nature doesn’t have any supernatural elements. I also wanted to avoid Scooby cliches. So, the ghosts are Pipa and her Sister. I allude to this early in the book. All ghost related items are shaded blue. Pipa...

The background elements were drawn with coloring pencils. The bunny Chibi...

Today, I wanted to show you a raw page from my new Scary Cat book. In this one, the friends are exploring a spooky house. Mana has just made it to the music room. She naturally got distracted from her search, since she likes musical instruments. Most of the kids I know like to play music badly. Since the Spooky House is the central focus, I went all out with the background details. Everything looks like it is supposed to, without going too crazy with the details. It has to maintain the Kawaii Chibi aesthetic. I had the floor pattern...

Today, I did one of my silly practice drawings. It is important to get those drawings done every once in a while. In this one, I was mimicking the pose of the creation of Adam by Michelangelo. Most of my practice drawings feature maidens. I am good at drawing women. It is the form I am most familiar with. So, with these practice drawings, I do not fuss too much about the body type of the maiden. Well, there really isn’t much to talk about this drawing. What you see is what you get. Bye.
