How do people keep up with such large casts of characters?

The short answer, my lore is what helps me keep track. Thanks to that, I know how each character connects to the other or what kind of impact they might have later in the story.

What is the most time consuming part of your art process?

Definitely lineart, and I'm inclined to say rendering but rendering is the fun part But while I enjoy making slick lines, I noticed it really does take up most of my art time truly...

What Aesthetic is your Series? State it & Show some of your pictures!

My novel definitely touches on a mythospheric, mythical aesthetic. Cosmic horror somebody once told me, I think that fits the bill. XD [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] [image]

MEDIEVAL artists: How do you create your backgrounds?

One thing that helped me a lot is look at buildings that are old (I like to use churches as a reference for this) and compare them to examples of fantasy concept art. This is how I usually begin to inspire myself and study the possibilities of what I can do. I'm not per se a champ at drawing fanta…

Comics with a less commercial or traditional plot, this is the place!

Ah mine is actually a collection of short comics based on the world of my novel, does this count? XD

Show off illustrations you've made with your comic/novel characters!

Oh I just adore threads like these, haha. Some art for my novel I did recently! [image] [image] [image]

How do you just draw?

Hmmm....might just doodling something work? Not something with intent but just doodle, see what happens? I recently started doing this and I found that this and drawing stuff from refs tends to help also. You still polish skills, but it doesn't have to be anything.

How long will your story be?

Oof, mine is gonna be so big haha... I definitely know Jade Kingdoms' first book will exceed 100k already, which is why I took out the entire prologue and turned it into a comic.

Why are you doing comics?

To get better at them, cause I love bringing the lore of my web novel to life using this medium. I'm still new to them, but I feel my art is improving so much just by making a few pages.

I want community back- idk rant

Off Topic

I remember the days in which deviantart was actually a good place to build connections, make friends and network with your fellow artists and be tight-knit. Nowadays...ugh. It's become a sewer. I had the same community move with me to Tumblr and that also went alright until the big nsfw purge, and n…

Cancel culture vs creators

Thank you for elaborating it perfectly.

Cancel culture vs creators

Non-black people using 'cancel culture' in the absolute wrong way again huh. Simply put, holding somebody ACCOUNTABLE for their actions is NOT "cancel culture". And that's all this is, holding people accountable for being an absolute fuckshit. Y'all really keep on assuming people are out for a wi…
