As you maybe have noticed, I didn't post a newsletter last week, and I'm very sorry about it!
I was on a business trip almost the whole week, and had a lot of things to take care of, so I didn't find the time to give you a full newsletter.
Thankfully I'm back now, and I have some pretty cool things to show you! Plus, we really need to look back on Inktober :)
Come read more of my silly comic!
If you remember, a few weeks ago I participated in a 24-hour comic challenge!
Back then I hadn't planned to do anything at first, but ended up making a paper comic; it was rough and all the text was in my head, but I quite liked it!
And so I decided to clean it up! And it turns out I needed way more than 24 hours, because it's still not fully done :') I already showed you the first page, but today I'm very happy to have two more pages to show you!
It's the story of Maple, who, bored at home, is asked by her mom to fetch some potatoes from the basement. But she'll end up going way, waaay deeper than she ever expected! 🙂↕️
It's a very absurd story that doesn't take itself too seriously, but I'm really having a lot of fun working on it. And I hope it shows!
And yep, sadly it's not completely done yet. It took way more time than I expected, not only to draw and color everything, but also to add the final text and speech bubbles.
But we're almost there! As I'm writing this, I've finished nearly all the ink and color for the rest of the comic, so adding the speech bubbles is the last step before I can release the full thing!
Speaking of releases, I've put the first 3 episodes on my website, where you can read them in a Webtoon format! I'm sure it'll be much more pleasant than reading them in your email client. So here's the link!
the website is also called eatsoap because why not
You'll also find some of my older comics there. It's still a work in progress, so bear with me :)
I'll keep working on this comic in the background, and I should have more to show you next week! Thank you for your patience :D
Inktober is finally over!
I've meant to talk about it last week, but my inktober project is done! :)
In case you missed it, last month my goal was to make a little illustration everyday featuring the adventures of a little duck with a plant on its head and it's friend with devil horns.
All of that to make a gigantic sticker sheets with all of the illustrations put together in one page.
I decided of it on a whim and I really wasn't sure where I was going at the beginning; I wasn't following any prompts, just drawing what I thought was fun and cute. And overall, I'm pretty happy with how it went!
Some are better than others, there are a few I'd even want to redo if I could, but considering the freestyle nature of the challenge it could have been worse :)
Using a limited amount of colors really helped me not overthink too much and get something coherent in the end!
Now that I have the full page done, I need to contact my printer to get it done. Some of you already asked me if it would be available on my shop later, and this will depend entirely on how it turns out!
Colors might not come out well, or it might be very expensive to print a sticker sheet like this; so I'll let you know!
For now here is a higher quality view of the whole thing :) Thank you for following along this month! I really appreciate it
Thank you for reading ! Sorry once again for last week, it was very hectic recently, and I'm glad I didn't push through. I'm back more rested, but I still missed this newsletter!
How are things going on your side? Do you like the comic so far? :)
I'll see you next Tuesday, please stay safe!
Take care, - Nighten
