Maybe this is what they mean when they talk about “suspense” vs. “horror”. Have ...

tags: inking, literally



This is building a bit on ozoneocean's previous newspost on developing a sketch! For most comic artists, after having perfected a sketch (or at least getting it to an acceptable point) the next step is inking. I don't think I'm alone in saying this is one of ...

Waiting for October

kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Oct. 5, 2015
