Before and after progress

I thumb my pages while I script so I can see my pacing in real time, but that means a lot of the time I’ll just scribble something down and be like “that’s a problem for future Kelly”, in case anyone would like to see the nonsense I leave for myself to sort out later.Some of the things that ...

Every day I dream of a future where I don’t need to draw this horrible fucking fish anymore.

Pipeburn Ch01:P31

Jesus I don’t know why this page kicked my ass so hard but I had a miserable time figuring out the logistics of it. Everything just felt so crammed and difficult to follow. As detailed as these pages get I try very hard to maintain clarity and strong contrast between detailed inks, tones, and empt...

Bionic knees aside I can’t imagine Gray is great at running, he’s a lifelong smoker and he’s probably one of those “running kills gainz” guys.

Shawn is the kind of guy who asks what animal the Pink Panther is.EDIT: dammit I just noticed the typo, I’ll fix that when I get home from work tonightEDIT EDIT: okay typo fixed

Pipeburn Ch01:P28

OKAY so that move ended up being the most brutal one I’ve ever been through, turns out when you live in a place with a big closet and an attic for ten years you accumulate a lot of stuff that you don’t really need to bring with you. But I’m here in the new place with all the modern convenience...

Pipeburn Ch01:P27

I’m still moving (it’s going slowwww) but I had this realization drawing this page like wow, this creature sure takes a long time to draw. And this environment takes a long time to draw. And these chains all take a long time the draw… so please enjoy watching me make these poor descisions in ...

Pipeburn Ch01:P26

I’m gonna be moving soon so I hustled to get this out the door before we start so I don’t leave everyone hanging about the thing banging on the door.

Pipeburn Ch01:P25

Hope y’all are ready for this to get wacky…That said if I slow down posting pages the next couple weeks it’s because we are potentially going to be moving soon depending on whether we get all the lease paperwork we need to sign in the next day or two, so just a head’s up on that.

Another call for extras

If anyone wants me to throw them/their characters into a big crowd crush, drop me a link to a reference! (If they don’t make it into this page, I do have more crowds to populate in later pages)

Chekov’s Flood Warning

Pipeburn Ch01:P23

I redrew the faces and poses on this page so many times trying to make expressions more fun to look at than “flirty disinterest” or “sultry boredom”, but eventually settled on Jax pawing at Gray’s face and Gray trying to make up his mind whether he thinks this is cute or annoying.

Pipeburn Ch01:P22

When you don’t know a guy well enough to fill him in on all the medical and life problems that might make you difficult to date, just say you’re really busy.

Pipeburn Ch01:P21

So in answer to the question that was posed a while back of “what did Poppy and Shawn think was going to happen here”, the answer is “they were specifically asked to wingman this interaction and Jax has been waiting around for Gray to show up”.

Pipeburn Ch01:P20

Man, I dunno if it was just because I kept starting and stopping this page to do Family Christmas Things, but drawing it was like pulling teeth the whole way through. Maybe all those panels where I had to draw four people doing the same thing.

Pipeburn Ch01:P19

Sorry, too much unmitigated ptsd to discuss the thing in the lake right now.

Pipeburn Ch01:P18

Gray probably just took like 30 pills that say not to consume with alcohol to keep his brain from melting out his eye sockets and the first thing they do is grab him a beer.

Pipeburn Ch01:P17

Gray has *definitely* been to the Stag Lounge in his spunkier days

Pipeburn Ch01:P16

There’s this saying when you’re talking about how strong a motorcycle is; “fast enough to get you into trouble, not fast enough to get you out of it”. That’s kind of applicable to the way Gray uses his brain.

Pipeburn Ch01:P15

We are 1/3rd of the way there! Gray is about to show off exactly why he was getting that Swan paycheque.

Pipeburn Ch01:P14

Okay, Gray has been embarrassed enough, it’s time for a flashback

Pipeburn Ch01:P13

Shawn is going to talk about this in his speech at their wedding.

Pipeburn Ch01:P12

I actually learned a lot about why Irish bareknuckle boxers stand like That making this page.

Pipeburn Ch01:P11

He likes ‘em fancy

Coming up next: Gray Gets Twitterpated

Casting call

Since it’s probably gonna be a hot minute before I get to the colour slipshine comic again I’m taking all the people that volunteered to be in the gundam lineup and putting them in the crowd at this cage match (there will be a LOT of crowds in this chapter) so if anyone else wiuld like to get in...

Pipeburn Ch01:P09

Man, I feel bad this one took so long but this is probably the most complicated single panel I’ve ever drawn in my life.

Pipeburn Ch01:P08

Hey all, been a hell of a couple of weeks. I actually drew about half of this at Wasteland, but I just couldn’t focus well enough plugged into a solar battery on a folding lawn chair out in the Mojave to sort out all those pipes and had to finish it when I got back.You may have heard already but m...
