Decided to really go in and try some ink wash. It reminds me of water color but just doesn't blend as well. Much more permanent

This is Arlow and Sigurd from my work in progress comic. Working title "Revenant Bloom"

A couple of blurbs from my comic. Can't wait to start inking. I've got quite a ways still! I've cut some stuff from my original note cards that I feel I no longer needed in the story.

Here, Arlow comes face to face with an old memory...

Found a painting I made about 2 years ago I still really like. I forget exactly what the theme was, but I was researching flowers that had negative symbolisms associated with them. One of them was rejection. I can't remember the others exactly!

Story snippets from a book I'm working on. Working out the panels and flow of the story in the manuscript. Still plenty of room for changes, nothing set in stone

Sort of rushed to finish this, wasnt super happy with how it was coming out. I wanted to make a griffin sort of inspired by a harpy eagle. I find with digital painting it's really easy to get lost in wanting to make a lot of detail too early

Quick painting of Arlow, from a story I've been working on. Been trying to adopt some of the things I've learned while strictly working traditionally for a few years now. It's really refreshing to do something different!

Hey all, been a bit! Despite life, I persevere. Decided to get back into painting digitally for fun, trying out a new program. I used to use paint tool sai and Adobe sketchbook back in the day, but I'm trying #krita out.

Little practice sketches from the other day. Starting to feel my way around with this medium, but still feeling like a newborn fawn lol. Decided to practice with my main character of my next story.

Still plugging away, I'll be checking in every so often

A body shot and two headshots of Arlow, the main character in my next story. They are just scribbly sketches in ink.

Sharing some of what I've done recently! I started with notecards to figure out how I wanted to draw the scene/story. Then moved onto translating it to comic panels. There will be more on process in the alt text 🧙✨

#gabtitoart #fantasyart #comics #wip
An experienced mage casts a frosty spell with his catalyst- a set of 6 rings. He blows the spell out into the musty area around him and makes an icy and misty setting. Perfect for cover and a getaway for his crew. I "finalized" how I wanted the panels to be on the final run, but I am still very open to changes and different ideas. I'm always changing things up until the last minute. Here was my first test of the panels for this scene. Nothing much really changed, I wanted to emphasize the 4th panel the most, I knew that much. This is the original set of notecards depicting this scene. It's just a flow of the story, not indicative of how the panels will lay out- though I really put a lot of work in the "beat" of the story. I had a lot of ideas in between this and the final test. Originally, this character was going to have a wand. Now he has a set of rings that act as a catalyst to cast spells. Arlow, the main character hears a call from beyond a wall. Behind an illusory wall, he discovers a strange weapon... Just wanted to include a bonus page!

Having a lot of fun copying some images from Arthur Guptill's book Rendering in Pen and Ink. These light exercises paired well with my coffee this morning ☕

Hey y'all! Look at this stack of cards! Sorry I haven't been posting much, just not a whole lot to post at the moment. I did a bit more practice with pen and ink this morning as well. I'm thinking of doing some small 1 pager comics to practice more!

#gabtitoart #wip #oc
My stack of story cards for my next project. A bunch of crude drawings make a story. my next steps will be to get the pages together and try to condense the story more and think about what I like and don't like. Some more hatching practice from this morning with pen and ink

Had a bit more political anxiety than usual but I haven't checked out and refuse to. Art wise, I don't have much to post, just been working on my notecards. Didn't really have much time to work on anything this morning (had some dinner stuff to prep) Almost done with this part.

8 panel page on my new project. The page depicts a sort of nymph hiding in enchanted ore trying to seduce the main character. Somehow, he breaks out of it. Drawn very quickly

Playing around with a character design floating in my head for a bit. Some more information in the alt text!

#art #oc #fantasyart #gabtitoart
Two rough sketches of an "elven" like character. She has 4 thorn like horns with a darker color at the tips and hair styled back, matching the flow of the horns. One sketch plays with the idea of a cape, the other doesn't. Her skin like armor amplifies her elemental magics, something granted only to a certain few amongst her people Close up of one of the sketches, drawn lighter and not darkened. Shows a better example of the skin like armor in a full body shot. Dark sketch showing elf like character in a fighting stance, showing the armor amplifying the magic. The horns act like an antenna and may also play a part in amplifying magic.

Fast sequential sketches from today's morning session. I like working with index cards because I can move them around and create a new narrative or idea

Indulgent amateur ink practice. Definitely would do the ink on a separate layer if it came down to it

A small sketch before work today. Not much to post this week, been mostly writing. I'll write in chunks and then draw it out and then change the story around if needed

Working on a new idea before work. This is usually how I'm drawing all week and rarely get to make finished pieces. Basically storyboarding! I'm just unloading my ideas from my journal and seeing how it plays out. Still have a long way to go...
