Thank you for hanging in there for the final chapter. I severely underestimated how long 15 pages would take! Also thank you so much to everyone who shared and reblogged this along the way.

My dream stache.…someday… 

My dream stache.

…someday… 

Been toying around with the idea of an Alice in Wonderland illustration for awhile now. Here’s my take on the mad hatter.

Here’s my process for the Kaguya Hime illustration.

Near the the end, there were a few things bugging me that I fixed:

I realized the moon and stars were taking all the focus of the image, so I shrunk the moon, and got rid of about 80 percent of the stars. The moon is a big part of the story, but Kaguya Hime is the main character, and this is her final moment, so I wanted the focus to be more on her, not on the sky.

I brought the warm colors to the front and the cool colors to the back to bring the foreground forward.

I balanced out the hills a bit more to help them frame the focus (Kaguya), rather than just be a bunch of neat hills in the distance with no purpose.

Kaguya Hime
The princess returns to her home world.
I did this illustration earlier this year, but am just now getting around to posting it. I’m still not totally happy with it, and may end up redoing it at some point. It’s a great story, and I’d love to a full set of illustrations for it one day.

With the thumbnails out of the way for my next comic, Rocket, my next step is to draw each page at half size. Did a whopping 10 today and I hope I can squeeze in a few more tonight. Once these are all finished I’ll scan them in, print them out double size, and use a light box (or a bright window since I’m poor) to trace them onto bristol board. Then just slap on some ink and call it a day.
Finished comic coming soon!
僕の次の漫画(ロケット)のサムネールを描き終わって、次のステップは全部のページを原稿の半分サイズで描くこと。今日はそれを10枚も描いた~~っ!出来れば今夜また何枚か描こうかいなと思ってるけど。これが全部出来たらスキャンして、サイズを2倍に印刷して、ライトボックスでBristol Boardに写す。そしてその上にインキでスパッと描く。
漫画が仕上がるまでもう少しお待ちください!
