Apple Art Card No. 14
Character card number 2 is Edward! Adding onto the idea of the previous card, this one would be the second card in a set of character cards you'd find in a cereal box or pack of gum or something.
I'm not sure yet how many character cards there will be in this fake set.

Apple Art Card No. 13
Apple character card number 1. The general idea behind this one is to be like a character trading card you might find in a pack of gum or like in a cereal box.

Another title card today. To mix things up some, I used some markers I got from 5 Below like 4 years ago.
The results are okay, but I'm willing to chalk up some of the roughness to me not working traditionally for a while (too used to undoing mistakes in digital work lol).

High contrast title card today. The idea is to use this as a comic cover down the line.
I gotta work on my hand drawn font skills more - they're a bit sloppy. (Although, I think some of it comes from me not being totally comfortable with the markers yet.)

A Mustache cover card featuring our boys sporting some fancy facial hair.
This card serves as a proof of concept for the cover art for the forthcoming An Apple a Day book and I think the colors are pretty rad.

Spooky vibes today featuring some undead candy corn.
I'm pretty happy with the lighting I was able to achieve with this one.

A simple title card for the comic today.
Doing these cards has given me some freedom to just mess around with different aesthetics and styles for the comic and it's been pretty nice tbh.
I'm working my way through this pack of Strathmore artist cards at a pretty decent pace.

Tried to go for a stretchy apple today. Also, I painted a giant Apple on the cardboard I use to blot my markers on.

Posca paint marker on vellum Bristol paper.
Just a bunch of little guys doing their best. The light blue Posca marker exploded on me today. I guess I primed it too much.
I've been pretty wrapped up with the web comic recently that it's nice to work non-digitally for a change.

I know I've been quiet here the last few months but, I've been working on bringing my boy Apple back to the Internet!
I've been working on reformatting "An Apple a Day" for viewing on Webtoons Canvas. #webcomic

For Jess.
I made this for my friend as part of a Christmas-time art trade. I tried to keep it tastefully creepy but mostly wholesome.

Quick time lapse replay of one of my favorite pieces of art from last year.
It's roughly inspired by a memory of a piece of art my grandmother had when I was a kid that, while it didn't have ghosts or spooky shadows in it, it did feel cold and lonely.
