I have had printed an italian version of the first chapter of The Gifts of Darkness, which should be easier to sell at conventions around. This release is finally in A4 format, oh man, it's big, I'm so glad it's big.

I put it in my shop, where you can also find the english-language releases

And of course you can read the webcomic for free, in english and now also in italian, as I am taking aside some time to publish one translated chapter per month.

TES crushes

Thank you @babyblueetbaemonster for the tag!

Well, "crush" is not something I have in me, for people or characters or otherwise - I think I more so have "scientific interest" in which the "scientific" part is wanting to put them in a glass vial, and the "interest" part is wanting to shake them hard. Maybe crush them. ...Oh, I see, I get it now.

Following @babyblueetbaemonster's example I will append some of my art of these characters where possible. You can click through to the relative posts.

I finally rebuilt my visual list of favorite characters, which I hadn't updated in years. As the description says, this list is so that my friends can know my favorite characters, and for myself to remember at a glance.

A few things I want to note:

  • I redid all the code from scratch. The older version was 10+ years old and all the additions made it become a jenga tower, so I decided to just raze it and rebuild. Rem units are really useful to code with from the beginning, at the end I need to change one single number to fix the scale for mobile.
  • I trimmed the list dramatically compared to its previous form because this time I asked myself a question for each character: if someone asked, would I be able to elaborate to my satisfaction why I love this character?
  • (It's still quite a long list though).
  • Through the years, several people have been inspired by my list to make their own, and I want to say: 1) I 100% approve 2) I don't even take any credit for the idea, it's such a simple thing, and 3) I also give full permission to reuse my code. Honestly, as far as I'm concerned, everyone should have a list like this :D

Better yet, I have made:

All set up for easy editing and reusing. Have fun, and if you do use it, feel free to @ me!

Martin future character from my webcomic, The Gifts of Darkness

…still a few years before their appearance. But in the meanwhile, at least I’ve solidly decided on the shape of the hair. It only took 7 years of drawing them!

Some demons try to blend in and pretend to be human. And then there’s Martin. But who would accost someone who looks like that, just to note that their eyes are somehow too green?

The Gifts of Darkness - Chapter 23, pages 28 to 32

Finally, the kiss.

It only took them 9 in-universe months to come to this resolution. And 9 years of comic work for me.

But it's happening! My hard work comes to fruition at last, and now I get to draw Val and Adrien happy and fulfilled, and they can put behind all that agony of the last few chapters...

There has never been a better time to read The Gifts of Darkness.

Here, let me post the full page of the glorious moment:

WIP Wednesday Thursday

@ritabuuk tagged but it's actually Thursday now for me :P

I think everybody whom I'd want to tag has done WIP Wednesday already or has been otherwise tagged, which is fantastic! If you have done it already, consider this a token for a future Wednesday :D @truth-01001001-liar @elavoria @samu-art-kingdom @babyblueetbaemonster @just-ornstein @glittergear and of course anyone who sees this and wants to share.

So, as for what concerns me:

The next pages of The Gifts of Darkness are in the drawing stage. Previously they finally confessed, they finally talked about their feelings, they finally kissed, and now finally they can release all that sexual tension...

Oh, finally... This was the least nsfw shot I could find, by the way. yeeeessss.

This scene is pretty tough to storyboard. There are not that many angles I can use, and even fewer that aren't obstructed by arms and legs. But I enjoy a challenge.

I am also working on a Maxim portrait to match the Juste one from earlier:

Later I intend to draw Lydie too.

Between one thing and the other, I have this drawing of my character Cyrus that I'm fussing about on my phone. I add like a line or two whenever I'm waiting for food to cook, lol.

I love the textures on Infinite Painter.

There is also this piece that I started last month. Lucifer contemplating his loss - that's right, big deal kind of subject.

And also, I've been working on making a layout for @ritabuuk's new website project. So far I have some ~typography~ going on, and I've settled on the background and the teal accents:

Inviting @disjunkt here in particular - this is what I was talking about the other day, the layout for which I'm pacing around your websites to be infused with something from your style. (Everybody else: please go look at oubliette.nu and the various projects within to see some beautiful ponderous websites)

You read this far! Or at least scrolled here. Have coffee and zeppola, yesterday it was Saint Joseph's day and everybody gets zeppola. I give you a photo of mine.

Idea! Poll game of fictional character names. Character name vs character name, who is the best fictional name. Has it been done? Would it be fun?

This is born out of a conversation with @ritabuuk about: Seto Kaiba. We could think of a couple contenders for the best fictional name but I think it would be one of those that makes it far...
