Many days late to the party, but I have made quite a lot of black and white comic pages and wanted to share them!
There's some slight tinting because some of the greyscale markers I used had slight warm or cool tints, and some of the scanners I used also imparted effects of their own.

I think I combined a bunch of partially-in-frame backgrounds from a few different cutscenes when I had the bright idea to include that set in a silly comic of my own.... it was so hard to track down anything concrete that I ended up just zooming way way in to avoid showing more than I needed to.

You are absolutely right about that, except the even worse part is that these also aren't mine, because they're actual screenshots (sent to me by static mates).... MY pictures are taken by pointing my (not good) phone camera at my tv screen, because I'm scared of the PS5 file storage system

Gah! O-o-okay, here he is..... I don't really know how to gpose so all my in-game pictures are very awkward, unless they were taken by someone else, so I've included a couple of drawings as well XD

LRT: I have a little sample sheet of Beam Paints, specifically a bunch of pearlescent and metallic paints, and they are such a delight to work work-- every time I pull them out I have a great time. (Though their effects are difficult to photograph, I'd need a moving gif showing their shimmer...)

Continuing to mess around in my sketchbook..... drew Emet-Selch #FFXIV
I had a single magenta marker at the time, so it made an appearance.

Having fun messing around in my sketchbook this week! I brought a really weird selection of pens and like two markers, so not much colour will appear, but I can noodle with the pens to my hearts content.
