Drawing Henrietta

My word! I’ve yet to do any Gunslinger Girl fanart! This is an outrage, to be sure. I still have a ways to go, but this lineart doesn’t look totally horrible. I just looks kind of horrible. I think my main weakness is that I lack the ability to...

Comic Site Rant: Compass Points to the Future

Original Post I felt I needed to bleed the previous comic’s punchline a bit more, so I did. As far as artwork goes, I’m playing around with styles. By that I mean, I’m messing around with how I draw girls. And by that I mean, I’m changing how I...

Comic Site Rant: The House Of Deception

Original Post Oh god, here’s another comic. I really liked the sketches for this one, but as I continued I started to like it less and less. Looking at it now, I’m pretty indifferent towards it. It could stand to be better, but I don’t hate it. I tried...
