Bäckahäst - the Brook Horse

Slight delay here! This week a lot is happening for me, as I will most likely soon will have my very own and very first business premises/studio. I also decided this is the perfect time to try soemthing different with my creatures and this weeks will be in form of a comic... But here is a preview for you :)

It does actually take a very dark turn. My mom is sure to e-mail me later how she did not like the comic ;)

 

3/52 Jackalope

So here's number three! :) A mythical creature and fairly recent one in a sense, as people still believed they are about only few hundred years ago. All because of some grotesque bunny virus. This specimen has antlers much like reindeer.

I have been experimenting a fair bit with the coloring of these and switching between Photoshop and Manga Studio. I dont think I have found a good way to color these linear drawings but hopefully will get there soon.

This also happens to be my 200th post... I'd say time flies but actually it took quite a while to get there. Can I get to 300 this year? Maybe. Who knows ;)

Manga Studio Fun part 1 (cattyness!)

Recently I bought Manga Studio under the influence of, well, some stuff I read online and that it was on sale. But truth to be told the one I got was a pretty good value anyway. And on contrary to what name suggests, you don't have to draw exclusively manga on it... The main selling point for me was the fact that it is much better for creating linework than Photoshop. And to be honest, given the low price point (I paid a total of about £50, of which £20 was the shipping from USA) I though: ah, why not treat myself? :P

I haven't really had much time to play with it until now. Although I am still jsut starting out to try all the options, so far I am pretty happy :)

Here is some catty lifedrawing of Ollie the PuddyFat.
