This looks brilliant! :o Eagerly awaiting that Linux version so I can test it out ;v;
Bozhko Dimitrov@bozhkodimitrov.bsky.social · 5d agoA dear friend of mine has made a painting program from scratch. It's great, and has so much cool stuff. Unlike PS it's 1 buy and keep forever. And also it's brush engine is more fun. It has a free trial to test out ofcourse. www.kalapaint.app
A big commission set I did for my friends's DnD game! With that, I'm finally done with commissions and focusing solely on comics :'D
I made the Beryl-shaped one for myself for having a good 3D pose reference for drawings, but I realized I should make more and put them up for free! Get them below
I swear, doing colorist work for Haven is healing me x'D. I feel like I'm getting paid to have fun in the best coloring book!
Also, I'm working with the Haven (www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/605966/) folks again as an additional colorist for Book 2 and I'm really enjoying it! It's always nice change of pace to work with other people's art, ehe. The stability that comes with regular work should help me with Everblue too!
Haven and the Fallen Giants by Jen Xu, Kate Rhodes: 9781984836427 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books
A shining city in the desert. A legendary giant asleep for years. A poor outcast girl who is determined to survive. All three come together to create a fantastical and stunningly illustrated advent...

Got another MRI as a followup to last time and my artery dissection is healing up ;v;. They didn't have any recommendations other than keep doing what I've been doing and avoid activity that might wrench my neck xD.
I'm 39 today! Thought it'd be a good opportunity to post this self-portrait I did a few weeks ago for practice x'D
Today is HAVEN and the Fallen Giants release day!! 🌟✨💙🩵 The book turned out SO beautiful! bit.ly/havengiant
The next page is almost done! Just need to a little more lighting stuff! I wanted to stream more, but a two-page spread with this many layers is apparently pushing the limits of my RAM, ahaha x'D
Since I last worked on an Everblue page with Krita, the updates have been gradually inching it toward feature parity with Clip Studio (for my uses, at least), and it's definitely a more robust comic-making tool now. I don't know if any app will ever do magical vector layers like CSP though, lol.
Thanks for coming to the stream! Finished up all the flats for the new pages and completed this new Facebook profile icon, haha
The day has finally arrived!! “RIFT”, my new webcomic series starts updating today and every Friday going forward! 💫 Today’s update features the cover for Chapter 1, as well as 3 new pages! You can read here, or start by reading the prologue! 🌌 riftseries.carrd.co #comic
Almost forgot: health update! Been to a bunch of appointments (with more to come), but still don't know what my condition is. However, after some weeks of physical therapy, and new daily medicine, I am feeling much better than I have in a looong time (hence getting back into livestreaming, hehe).
Just finished the inks for pages 143-144! I'm super happy with the feel and quality of the lines here, I feel like it's some of my best work in Everblue so far ;v;. Also, I'll be streaming the colors on the Twitch tomorrow! Stay tuned for the post if you'd like to catch it!
Working on a new (left) profile pic for the Everblue Facebook page, which I noticed has had an old one (right) for quite a long time x'D
A new set of Everblue concept sketches are up on Patreon! What could they mean...? >:B www.patreon.com/posts/develo...
Oh! And I've got a question for any fellow artists who stream! I'll be using OBS as usual, but what's your go-to software for displaying stream alerts (twitch follows, donations, etc) nowadays?
Finished up my last big commission, so work on the next page is finally in-focus now ;v;. It's a two page spread! Might try to stream later!
I hate to post this again so soon, but I'm behind on my utility bill now (tax payments until Fall take priority), and work has been slower than I hoped with my weird health. ko-fi.com/everbluecomic If you want to support me, my ko-fi has exclusive donation art, and/or comics/brushes for sale ;v;
I noticed I've been doing this a lot in my sketches and I think it's my new favorite good-enough shorthand for "eye looking in a general direction" xD
Everblue AU where the Skyward is a stubby little seaplane.
Excited to get back into the comic soon! I did a very relevant sketch of Luna >:3. Also, the full illustration is up on Patreon! www.patreon.com/posts/aflame...
Still need a bit of food money to get through the rest of the month! I added some new exclusive sketches to my Ko-Fi gallery for any donos! :3 ko-fi.com/everbluecomic/
With my taxes paid for now and my website bill coming up, the money I have is locked up and I'm in need of grocery funds, so I'm gonna drop my ko-fi link again x'D ko-fi.com/everbluecomic There's some new Ten and Luna sketches viewable in the gallery since last time :>
Without stating your age, post a movie that released when you turned 18. It was the end of a very conflicting era, lol.
