Camp Nanowrimo 2017 :: July Edition (A Comic)

Well... You can't say I didn't try!

-Sarah. 

(P.S I've made a page-thing for these guys that kinda sorta explains who they are and stuff... Don't have to check it out, but should you want to, you can find the magic page link either 'Here' or at the top of the page next to Home ^-^)

So... It has come to this... (A Comic)

So there you have it, a blog post and me* complaining about all the Pinterest bugs via a comic in one big mess :) 

I feel a tad accomplished now....

And also sick, so I'm gonna go take a nap now.

Byeeee!

(*more specifically my character called Creativity...)

(And also thank-you Jane with helping me with the words n'stuff and being my let's-complain-about-Pinterest buddy)

(and sorry it isn't as fancy as my other comic..)

Baby Panda Drawing Diary (AND HAPPY NEW YEAR)

*Karate kicks the door open*

HEYOOOO- I'M BACK!

Phew, I haven't posted here since last year.

[Beat]

Sorry that was terrible...

Moving on!

I was thinking of doing another drawing/painting process (feat. my random thoughts) blog post and so here we are :D


Disclaimer: I often have moments where I have absolutely no clue what I am doing so please bear with me.

[ahem]

-STEP ONE-

Look up and collect all the references you can find while remaining completely focus- AWW LOOK AT ALL THE BABY PANDAS.

-STEP TWO-

Ahem. After staring at picture references for who knows how long (during which I somehow ended up looking at Star Wars pins), I sketched a very basic idea of what I wanted it to look like.

Very. Basic.... and er, bad.

 Oh well.

-STEP THREE-

I traced over it with another brush and added a balloon (because cuteness that's why) this time being much neater... I think.

I also added a single tooth to give a ferocious/cute look. Why just one tooth you ask?

Observe my dear reader:

Now the panda is just ferocious (and maybe even a little bit crazy looking) with very little cuteness effect.

That is why I only put in one tooth :D

-STEP FOUR-

Next, I re-checked my panda reference pictures and blacked out the necessary areas to make it look as much like a panda as possible. (This is where the reference pictures often come in handy.)

-STEP SIX-

Next I did the eyes and mouth.... and that's about it.

._.

-STEP SEVEN-

Checked my reference pictures again (after lunch) and realised that panda's aren't just completely white and black... Huh.

Looking back, I probably could have just left it at white and just called it a day, but I like to experiment with colours so.... 

-STEP EIGHT-

Yah. I might have gone a bit overboard...

Oh well! :D

Because it looks a bit messy as just random blobs of colour we shall do this!

Change previous brush to this one:

Continue on to next screenshot.

Smooth out the colours... And repeat a thousand times until it looks about right :)

-STEP TEN-

Okay! Smoothing out blobs accomplished, now for the balloon :D

Haha.... Just kidding, we have to smooth out more blobs.

(95% of my colouring technique right there: Place Blobs. Smooth Blobs. Repeat until looks right. Done.)

Last but not least, I added a simple light grey blob for the panda's shadow, add mah butterfly signature and....

All done :D

The Idea Process (A Comic)

 So.... this might become a regular thing. Every few months or so I'll sneak up on you guys and surprise you by whacking a new comic over your head. Sound fun? :D

Anyway, that's it for me this year (I think)... Hope you all have a very merry Christmas! (And a happy new year too I suppose :P)

The Adventures of Pizza Ninja Supreme and Her Trusty Long-Suffering Sidekick! (An Introduction to the Character)

Huh... That's weird. Usually I like to wait till the last few days of the month before panicking and writing up a blog post.

But here I am. Early. Since when does that happen? O-o

..More importantly, how does that happen? o-O

Well, it all started when I randomly mentioned  how I wanted to create my own graphic novel/comic one day on a group chat with my ''Camp Nano'' buddies (we shall never disband! Mawhaha)...

One thing lead to another, and my friend Jane and I ended up with the super amazing concept of Pizza Ninja Supreme (*puffs* bit of a mouthful that is). 

Then came the brainstorming, where we worked out what Pizza Ninja Supreme (from now on wards shall be referred to as Pizza Ninja, 'cause that last word is simply too much for everyday use :P) looked like, how she behaved, and whether she was more Pizza or more Ninja (very important).

Thankfully, figuring out what kinda power she would have was never really an issue, as it was pretty much the first thing decided. (Hint: it's kinda in the name...) 

Jane's a superhero now! :D

Surprise! They have to do with Pizzas. Still not sure how it works exactly... But hey! Imagine having the ability to create gourmet pizza's out of thin air! Who cares about the science-y part, right? :D (Hm..  science/pizza, science/pizza... Sorry Science, but pizza wins every time.)

Of course, her personality would've been a little bit harder to pin down, but Jane nobly offered herself as template to be based off. From there it was a simple matter of figuring out much sense the character (and her world) had to make!

Also featuring, the Sidekick! Whoever she is *shrug* Need to work on that a bit more...

Basically, none at all...

"Oh wait"

All that's left to do is work out a plot, come up with a suitable Villain and hey, presto its-a ready! :D
