Working on a DTIYS for @Headypigeon4180's Phantom Force 3000. Daecon has just introduced Aluta to Taylor Swift's music (full disclosure: I, myself, am not familiar with Taylor Swift's music) and THEY BE DANCIN' UP A STORM

First sketch (each character done in a different colour, on a different layer):

Inking and tuning (each character still has their own layer):

Rough colouring (again, each character on their own layer - I thought it would be kinda neat to show the colour layers with the ink layers hidden):

And rough colours with ink layers visible:

...aaaand that's as far as I got tonight. Finished colour/textures/shading and a background of some sort will be added tomorrow

As a matter of fact, I DO have the disco ball necklace on the piece! HAHA

Ms paint doesn’t have any layers right? For my newer comic I’ve pretty much been only using one layer (except for the text and speech bubbles) it’s kinda fun to not have to worry about em. Although I thought I heard rumors of ms paint getting layers or something… could be wrong. :thinking:

The newest Paint has layers. I found out this out by accident and was surprised. It also supports transparencies now.

Daecon and Evander sharing a late valentine's kiss. Learning to use layers to my advantage, even in the sketching stage

and with the sketch layers hidden:

Rough colours done:

Final colours done, with the ink layer hidden just because I think it looks cool:

And final colours done with the ink layer visible. Next I've got to do a background, and it'll be finished!


Slowing making my way through the comic!! Also you should join the We Hate Knight Stella Club™️ … check out last episode of Butter Bee to see why!!! >:0

Started working on Night’s twin, Day :0 yes I give all my characters the silliest little names I can’t think of, you can’t stop me!!! You might be wondering why Night was a lot paler because they basically look identical and that’s because Night sadly has anemia :pensive: I pay my respects to all my anemia pals out there


A doodle I’m still slowly finishing. I love ballpoint pens so much

Although I've only posted 4 episodes so far I'm midway through making chapter/episode 18. It's a pretty intense chapter and involves some trippy scenes, so I'll get into all sorts of photo-collage/filters, photoshop work. As you can see it's actually formatted for print and then I'll need to chop it up to post on Tapas. The whole thing started as a pandemic project back in 2020 and at the time the goal was to publish in print.

Character design for an upcoming episode.
Forest creatures disguised as mushrooms.

Almost ready to upload Part 4...first 2 pages...or what I think are pages...
The second page took the longest and I now know why -- it's 32 panels!
I gotta start cutting my pages up, dis too much XD

*Also, I JUST discovered File Objects! At the butt-end of drawing. Could've used that sooner! :sweat_smile:
(I missed a prior update cuz I was overwhelmed with life bs but I should get this up Saturday, I promise!)

Bro is that Knight Geoffrey??!

He hasn’t shown up in the comic yet but he will be the main antagonist :sparkles: you’ve only seen low tier antagonists so far … although Knight Stella is PRETTY awful but for context they’re basically besties so that’s saying something 🤪

Now it's all inked. This part is all done by hand. Next it'll be dropped into photoshop for lettering and the two tone gray shading I've adopted for the graphic novel.

Aaaaaaand here's the final version. This page had a lot of text FX and textures pasted in so it makes quite a difference.

Ahh thank you so much 🥺:heart:️:heart:️ I’m trying to give butter bee a glow up lol

I keep on drawing concepts for future chapters in butter bee because I’m very unfocused OH NO I really need to get back on the main plot!!! But a mini Lady Lock and less elder bones Knight Geoffrey?? Huh??? Is that KNIGHT LOCK? No, this is Patrick!!!
