New comics promo :3

Some teaser panels :)

Remember when I did that color study? Here’s a panel from the scene it was for. I gotta say, this scene has some of my favorite Bright Side backgrounds in it, though this particular panel might not be the best example….but you’ll get to see once I start posting again, hopefully sometime this month. Which is probably what I said like 5 months ago, but this time I’ve got some finished art to back up the statement.

New comics SOON, I promise!

Finally finally finally this cover. Now I just need a synopsis to put in the space I left for a synopsis except I’m really terrible at writing synopses. If anyone else wants to volunteer to write something for me that would be rad too… 

Fun fact, this was actually painted in grey and turned purple with the magic of photoshop. The reason being that purple is a more expensive color and this would have used a lot of it. Also because I hadn’t decided between purple or teal. I might do a variant witha teal cover also…

Also I forgot how much I hate dealing with large files. Especially large pdfs, ugh @_@

The pile of comics I’ve been falling asleep in the past few days. 

Some Black Butler fanart. These two are pretty fun to draw :)

(gouache and ink. colors kind of weird because of my scanner.)

I drew this as a present for my aunt. I hope it’s not conceited to give a picture of my own character to someone as a gift. 

Sunflowers are a symbol of happiness and longevity. 

Aaaand the girls :)

Some quick drawings of the Masked Shadow boys.

Group photo :D

Ellie’s face is creeping me out a bit, which is weird because usually she’s my favorite. I think Eva might be my favorite this time, although she’s in fierce competition with Robbie’s shirt.

Robin “Robbie” Reinhardt, aka that guy in the mask.

I might just make asian-looking characters with german-sounding names a running gag in my comics and no one will find it funny unless they’ve met me. Probably more like only I will ever find it funny. *shrug*

Some Bright Side art. Rainbow and Egret enjoy nature together. They will probably look at some birds or something.
