I started Hellhound I 2021 on a whim (kinda) and it’s still going!

I’m 132 pages in (5 completed issues)

What is working? Stubbornly moving ahead even when it’s hard to do anything at all.

What’s difficult? All of it. All of it is difficult. But I’m trying anyway
Early page from chapter one of Hellhound- the title character is attempting to fight an ogre. The pages in black and white/grey scale because I didn’t really know how to color it yet 9-panel page from early chapter 2 of hellhound- the main character (John) has just woken up and is doing boring morning things like brushing his teeth and waiting for coffee. In full color now. I figured it out A weird flashback in issue 5 (still chapter 2! It’s really long) where I left a lot of the pencils pencil and it’s John on the floor being tragic A newish page from the not-finished-yet issue 6 which started a monster battle (a battle with a monster not a really big battle) that I’m only just getting to the end of

I survived multiple pages of monster fight I deserve a fun pose to end it
Sketchy WIP pose for the main character of my comic Hellhound finally finishing the first monster slaying of the book (non-spoiler, he was clearly going to win he’s the title character)

$0 for the queen. Gozer was tossed out of a car as a kitten because people are horrible. Gozer is perfect, however.

Spay and neuter your pets!!!

$136 from a shelter for this doofus, but he came freshly neutered and with his first few kitten shots

He was totally worth it

I forgot I had a third trading card. This is what happens when the whole party are artists and designers.
Same drawing of John in the school teacher uniform drinking coffee only with the card border and a notebook with spells written in red crayon in the background

It’s possible I’d have more done on Hellhound if I would stop drawing DnD related art but here we are
Trading card with John as my dnd character- he looks like he normally does, in a black suit, he’s showing off his magic The second trading card I did for our campaign- John is shirtless (all those stupid tattoos are why he’s never shirtless in the comics) and juggling flaming daggers In the current leg of this campaign he’s a defense magic teacher at a school (doubling as security)— this is him in uniform finally drinking all the coffee he wants from a mug that reads “it’s fine! No one died.” Full body drawing of John in the uniform of the school he’s now teaching at (I feel like making a teacher of teenagers is a really bad idea but whatever)—he’s conjured a fireball because so far he’s pretty much just thrown fireballs at the students and hoped they block them

Now that I have a fancy new pinned post, take this, a two-page comic summary of Hellhound that was easier for me to make than trying to write out sentences lol
Two pages made as filler for the first printed issue of Hellhound that explain the concept -- basically a guy who screws up so badly he ends up trapped in a magical contract to be a guard dog for the city he lives in.

Hi there, I'm a professional Graphic Designer and I make a comic in my free-time. It's called Hellhound and it's just about a guy trying, and sometimes failing, to figure out life. Oh and he's a wizard, so there's magic and monsters and stuff.

hellhoundcomic.thecomicseries.com/comics/1/#co...
The main character (John. No last name) in his Hellhound uniform of a black suit and black bird skull mask. He's using fighting magic and probably about to go kill something. A page from the first issue of Hellhound. It's in black and white because I hadn't figured out how to color it yet. There is a monster with lots of eyes and tentacles and teeth and John is trying to stop it from eating a crowd who are busy taking video of him with their phones last page of chapter 1 of Hellhound -- John is fighting ghouls in a cemetery. He's wearing the mask and suit and using magic. A page from chapter 2 of Hellhound. 9 panels of John freaking out because his clothes are wet and he has to leave. He uses a spell (probably modified that he's never used before but you don't get to know that yet) to dry it so he can get dressed.

it looks a little sparse but I have all my layers turned off so I can actually see what I'm doing (next page of my comic. Chapter 2 is up to 64 pages so far send help)
page 64 of ch 2 of Hellhound (up to 130 pages consecutively). Four panels each with a tiny John fighting a tiny monster. So far only each John has been inked and they aren't done because I just started

feast your eyes on this, my most terrible child. At some point in the night he got ahold of a bag of gooey butter cookies and chewed a big hole trying to get to them. He wasn't even successful. Now no one has gooey butter cookies.

Art vs artist 🩵
Drawing of John, the main OC in my comic Hellhound, in a full-length ballgown with a lot of cutouts on top and a full skirt. The dress is black and the skirt has gold stars. He’s covered in occult tattoos and a lot of them are visible in this dress Me in a shark Onsie with a Jaws trunk display in the background and my dog dressed as Quint from Jaws in the front

This weeks Halloween flavored work fits. All chosen because I wear them all the time anyway because they’re summery fabric. Some of my stuff is def for fall and I will have to wait until it’s no longer 90 out there before I can be in true fall mode
A dress with jack-o-lanterns and bats all over it. Not pictured, the black cropped sweater (I have in four colors) I wore over it. Black dress with candy corn print and an orange cropped sweater- also wore orange Birkenstocks I bought just for this outfit Pastel orange dress with a flower and ghost print and the same orange cropped sweater I wore yesterday. I have white Birkenstocks and white sunglasses for this

I'm back at work after being off Friday and everything is crazy BUT over the weekend I made a lot of progress on this, and as messy as it started out, I think it looks good! I am, dare I say, proud!

Quote with your queer characters

I have way more than this but of the characters that have appeared in the comic so far, just these two idiots
John, the main character in my comic Hellhound dressed as the hellhound (black suit and black bird skull mask) doing some fancy fighting magic in a very pink environment-- he is bi/ace WIP of Griffin, a wizard character from my comic Hellhound - he's getting ready to light a cigarette with magic and wearing a floppy hat. he's Bi Finished page from Hellhound chapter one with John talking and gesturing his way through three panels while Griffin stands there and listens to him. John is tall in a black suit with black hair that is definitely hair of some kind (what is it doing? Who knows.), and Griffin is average height with red hair and layers and a wizard staff on his back John, the main character in my comic Hellhound in street clothes (which are a pink ribcage shirt, sweater that may or may not be purple and covered in pins and a colorful hat. he's drinking coffee out of a unicorn mug and has headphones on -- he is bi/ace

If you see this, QRP your art with the moon in it 🌙A
A old drawing of John in blue pink and black standing in what appears to be an alley but is super crooked and has graffiti eyes all over it. He's covered in pink blood and seems happy about it (I guess it's not his) and the night sky is behind him including the moon

lol In that case
Slight improvement in position brought to you by my favorite drawing model
Closeup of the comic page WIP I am picking at- it is in the “pencil” phase which means multi colored scribbles. The closeup features a figure on their back kicking a monster The action figure version of John I use as a drawing model balancing on the arm of the chair I’m drawing in on his back with on leg up like he’s kicked something in the face. The figure has a silicone “skin” over a metal skeleton so it poses and holds them pretty well

One of the reasons I draw digitally instead of on paper is I have always drawn too large for the space I have. I can’t not. This whole thing is too big! I have shrunk it multiple times and it’s still too big!! Luckily I also build in way more bleed than I need so I can shrink the page at the end
Comic page I am still trying to figure out. It has barely progressed from vague scribbles to less vague scribbles and all of it goes past the safety area so I am mad at it. It’s fine because I have a ton of extra bleed so I can shrink the art to fit the page after it’s done (I need to remember that when I letter tho or my text will be smaller than I want)

Artists! Please show:

✨ the first piece you did in 2025
✨ your favourite piece of the year
✨ your most popular piece
✨ your most recent piece
A comic page from Hellhound (my ongoing comic) - this is the first thing I did in 2025 The main character from Hellhound - John - in a black and gold dress, posing in a door or hallway. I was inspired by a show I watched called the Great British Sewing Bee - one of the contestants made this dress and I wanted to see it on John. I actually hate drawing him with his shirt off (and I did it twice this year! I'm ded now) because, not only is he covered in occult symbols, I haven't figured out what they are yet but it's my favorite thing I've drawn in forever A splash page from hellhound with the text boxes removed - John (the main and title character) is in a black suit and black bird mask using magic (he's a wizard). I had a lot of good compliments on this when I posted it so I think it was my most popular piece Oh look it's John again - he is all I draw now. BUT this is actually for DnD where I am punishing my friends by using him as my character. They are all sad now. In game he's in sweats and a t-shirt and an actual bathrobe with bunny slippers. This is because my whole group is my design department at work and we have been making stupid things like playing cards with our characters on it - this is John as the Jack, one hand is raised and has what could possibly be lightening that bisects the opposite image of him. The other hand has his usual "sword" which is just a yellow magic rod because that's all he can do - I finished this a couple days ago (I'm not totally happy with it and we haven't figured out what symbols we're using for the card suits yet so it's not totally finished)

ok it might be better. If nothing else I have finally gotten a coloring style I like and have more or less stuck with (also I've managed more than 100 pages of comic)
white box with the words "Art at beginning of COVID" A black and white comic page with a character named John who is looking at some magic stuff on a table. I don't even remember what was supposed to be happening in this comic. It was probably the fifth attempt at getting this story started and like all the rest, lasted a few pages before I quit. This is the closest to my current art style of anything else this old and older and was the direct predecessor to Hellhound White box with the words "Vs. Now!" A page from Hellhound - the comic I started in 2021 and have managed to keep with so far. Over 100 pages and still going. In this page John - the main character - is yelling at an unseen character in a room filled with blood. He is also admitting in narration panels that he has no idea what his job is supposed to be or what he's doing (which shouldn't really be surprising to the reader) and thinking about how he's getting blood on his shoes. This page is in full color done in my coloring style of "throw everything on the wall and see how it looks then leave it because why not"
