tw tw Cat with Gun comic thumbs 3

tw) Cat with Gun comic thumbs 2

trying to work out how to tag for violence/ideation etc for next few pages. I've decided if I think there is sensitive material, I will write 'tw' at the start of the title so you can know in advance. If you have an idea or preference please let me know. Aside from the next spread coming...

Cat with Gun comic thumbs 1

thumbnails that the artist I'm working with will be going from, thought it would be fun to show you my notes. This is a story from partway through the narrative so we'll have something interesting to pitch.

Creature design (graphic novel)

Each time I do a book, I want the style slightly different at least, so I keep growing and don't get boxed in.I have never been crazy consistently drawn to military /weapon themes, so I'm arbitrarily forcing myself to at least try it as a challenge. This graphic novel (working title 'CAT...

Extra art !!!

top picture is from a zine compilation I was asked to take part in ! bottom pieces are kind of personal art but not like super serious. thank you for being interested in my more personal work. I'll update with new book plot stuff soon (next month)

Danajiru paintings

a little concept art, and some fanart for the game Cruelty Squad. I included an undersketch, and how the second painting looked before digital processing. The comic book project is really coming along now, I'm excited for sharing new month

cute and fun compilation 1

for the first time, i present .. low stress, fun and nice drawings. I hope you like it. I will keep posting proper high finish drawings and concept art too, but may post 1 cute compilation a month if you are happy with this.

katu nervana poster

I spent a long time on this for such a simple design!! I'm proud of it (reference to russian band t.A.T.u), plus bonus outfit breakdown.

Concept art - CwG

The first two pictures are technically fan art for the game 'crueltysquad'. Considering making a fan game on my own time.In the next month aiming to have the graphic novel pitch for this project done.

personal art

i have been rediscovering joy by doing sketches for friends. I find it hard to do 'personal art' , but recently what has been making me happy is drawing little guys and saying 'thats you' to various people i know well and do not know well.

New comic announcement - CwG

I am developing this character setting into a series, working title 'Cat with Gun' / cat with gun in snow. I am working with another artist, which is a first for me, guest/co-writer is twitter user @danajiru.this is still pre-publisher-pitching stage, so not posting a lot of actual developme...

New FULL video - elias and the error

song by 'elias and the error', used with permission(it's from this album https://eliasandtheerror.bandcamp.com/album/blackpill )Just a mini video but trying to be like, very efficient with my time as an experiment, contrasted with spending a whole year on a video (2020 was a bad year tho...

Personal Sketches : )

I'm really proud of the poster of Hana! The character with light blue eyes is a cat who lives in the snow, and I was drafting some cute adopts with friends (SwollenBabyFat + CampMonday from twitter).It's really hard, but I'm trying to unwind a little after my big project! I hope you like...

upcoming work + sketches

Hey I wanted to fill you in on what I'm planning this year but I'm deliberately giving myself a bit of freeform space after music video. Going to finish up promo work for 920 with extra hana content soon.I have also been doing some game dev as a personal project, which I'd like to show y...

920 bonus - Hana dance animation

I'm doing a little more promo work for my comic, it's really fun to go back and revisit stuff. How are you doing?

Finished video!

thank you for waiting!! im just doing final changes and then I'll probably get a schedule for when its going up.

THE VIDEO !! (rough rough cut)

I'm still finishing the final version with some errors corrected, shading finished, added effects and pans. This version is the super rough cut. Please stay by my side as I finish it ok ^^;; it is going to be so much better, but it's exciting to show you a preview.pls dont repost/share the l...

Lip sync - pt 2 !!

I'm cutting things so close with my deadline, but I'm so proud of how this sequence looks. Attached are the other private internal production guides that I use for the characters, since it would be a waste not to show you them, it kind of has a charm ( nb. the first guide has bootleg collage...

Lip Sync guides!!

Here's the last section I'm working on! I really wanted it to hold up, so I asked for advice from a colleague. They said I needed to brush up on lip-syncing for this section, so I've been trying my best.I'm sorry for making this short, I've been working really hard and my head hu...

Nearly there!

I was wondering if I should show the video so far - I've been learning to composite it myself and do all the effects. As soon as I finish a couple more effects, there's just one section to go.I feel a little weird that I've taken so long doing this, but last year was really hard for ever...

is time travelling kosher

I didn't make them actually kiss. I was told I can basically do whatever in the vid.Learning special effects has been fun, watched a lot of transformation scenes with light effects I liked and drew diagrams. I'll be making it glow in post production.Gonna limit it to 4 posts this month so it...

close-up!!!! animation preview

I hope these updates are okay - I'm trying to always include at least two shots in each update so I'm working twice as hard.I kind of enjoy having no schooling in animation, it's going to end up looking weird even if I aim to do it professionally. I'm trying to balance the digital/tr...

How to animate an angel

In some downtime I was playing around with some wire + paper tape, and I made this little mock-up based on diagrams of how bird's wings are structured. The wire underneath means you can fold them in or out, so I posed them and took photos to get a rough idea of what I was doing. (photo of the mo...

Music Vid - preview now up!

This scene is based on Fallow, Rook's video game, which is coming out early next year. It's this slow paced kind of melancholy adventure in this decaying world.I just moved house so production is delayed by about a month. Aiming to have everything finished by the end of January.

Music Vid - character acting!!

I moved my workspace around and had a real breakthrough, I got a huge chunk of the lines done. I'm feeling really excited for this to come together. (this is the scene where rook from the future visits her past self).

Music Videos - character shots!!!!!!

Finally. Finally. finally. Time for the characters. I've had these scenes in my head (and on post-it note storyboards) for so long.Am feeling guilty that Devi's character is not really in this one, but I have plans for solo stuff too in future.

Music Video - painting process

I started doing something I learnt from Hazel Newlevant, shading on the reverse side of the paper with the inks - you can see the outlines well enough to use them as a guide, but when you scan them, you have way more flexibility editing the layers.These were the hardest shots ever. I know there will...

Music Video - painted backgrounds

Can you tell this shot is a continuation of the story from the last video? ('I f*cked in Heaven' by Mom). Into the sinister clinic.

Music video - background inks!

I've been working super hard - nearly at the end of all the backgrounds. Also checking back on earlier plans for the shots to make sure everything still makes sense.It's at that stage where it's 'nearly' all coming together.Also shout out to anyone that picked up a black dresses ...

Music video preview -- pt 4

This section has scenes from Rook's video game, Fallow. It's looking like Fallow is going to come out around spring next year. I've never done a real video games launch so I'm sure there's lots of polishing you have to do.The game itself is kind of this color palette, and very be...
