So things have been going alright. I've been organizing time badly a bit so my buffer shrank, but I'm pressing forward and I'm going to try and rebuild the buffer.
I also feel that while I do want gray tones in my comics I need to learn to do a cartoon without using them as a crutch. So there is a batch coming up that will be without grays as I try to figure out inking purely.
Time pressures have made me feel that my progress has stalled. I need more time drawing but I haven't quite got the hang on getting to make it happen. Working on it.
I realized I've been getting hair breakage on my beautiful and expensive brush which hurts me deeply, so I'm going back to using a cheap brush until I learn how to use it properly.
And now to some art extras...
So this is one of the approaches to inking that feels good and I will incorporate over time. It's a Mike Mignola/Street Fighter Alpha hybrid approach. Yes he has too many abs/torso is too long. It's a sketch. The little head below that is not in that inking style, obviously.
Next is a vague poster/cover practice attempt. Little dude is Ramjit "Black Arcane" Tejani, one of the core 3rd Eye Society characters who won't appear until next story arc, probably. The big dude is a version of Mr. Antara a sinister character. Both will likely be redesigned some prior to appearing in the comic, but it was a fun sketch.
The last extra piece. Another cover/poster sketch attempt. That's the whole main cast without mentor characters. L to R: Simon "Zen Panda" Kozlov, Ram "Black Arcane" Tejani, Emma "Cyberian" Schmidt, Derek "Silent Seeker" Stockton, Riley "Doc Destructo" Schmidt, Chloe "Broken Wraith" Martinez, and Alexis "Red Dragon" Martinez.
