Modeled/Textured and generated a rudimentary rig for my own #ClipStudio drawing mannequin! I really wanted something that was the exact proportion of my comic character. Hoping to create a custom rig on the next pass, and get the other two main characters in now that I understand the process. #3dart

Made my own Miro for my personal comic project. Current compilation of character and environment sketches (not seen: a web of messy stickynotes where I'm working out the plot lolol)

Screenshot of a miro board containing images of several characters and environments done in a cartoony style.

More vis dev for the comic idea! Currently compiling sketches and ideas on a board to figure it out. Some characters came together quickly! These are the Sea Serpent twins Lorelay and Zelos (names tbd)

Big props to the team that worked on rendering the character surfaces in Dream Productions, cause me and my daughter can't stop talking about how we wanna eat these sparkly Lil' jellybeans and theorizing what flavor they all would be XD

Screenshot from Dream productions where all the delicious jelly bean characters are looking at a memory.

Recent studies where I trolled around on Pinterest for poses and then applied them to a single character. Also been taking a wonderful #schoolism course on gesture drawing (Alex Woo) every morning instead of consuming any news and it’s been awesome :)

Bunch of sketches of a cartoony character in various poses. Sitting/leaning/reading attempting to convey a mood or action

My therapist wanted me to try some art therapy, and told me to illustrate what it looks like when I have racing thoughts at night. Special guest star Robin, who usually has a pretty good sleep ;)

An illustration in black and white of person lying awake wide eyed checking their phone when they shouldn’t in bed, a kid is lying on top of them

Started a new lunch exercise instead of watching the news. I call it Pinterest Practice, where I just pull up Pinterest alongside procreate and draw from whatever photos it serves up.

Characters drawn by thr e lead artist Matt Perlot. They look super cool standing behind the logo.

Sat across from two artsy cool teens on the commuter rail today and I felt like a dried up 1000 year old fart. Should I have dabbed at them? Maybe I could have flossed or mentioned skibiti toilet…
