Often when I think of @charmaemengming.bsky.social I like to pair her mystic/magic esque things that are kind of mysterious but funny enough as she’s gottten more confident with her streaming , her brightly colored jester as she is now is a MUCh better match for personality as she’s grown!

I was going through my sketches and some concepts I did for @charmaemengming.bsky.social ! She was trying to come up with a jester type character and this is what I came up with !

Thank you!!!! That means so much! I’m still learning more about lighting so I tend to eyeball it but I love to make things feel warm and glowy like it’s being warmed by sunlight

A post for day 02 of #DVParty

Introduce your main character !

This is Anenome, a young ethereal being born with the purpose of fulfilling a promise made by those who came before her. She’s very nurturing to everyone and everything around her … almost to a fault.

My main advice I give to ppl who want to write comics:

1: Study screenwriting and filmmaking. Learn camera language, the 180 degree rule, when to use types of shots for diff emotional beats, etc

2: Study storyboarding, especially how to compose & stage a scene.

3: Read so. many. comics.
