Back in the black... and white... and pink (Patreon)

Gunwale has slowed down because I am struggling/making slow progress with a couple of the elements. It's feeling a little too much like work at the moment which considering how much actual work is sucking up my creative energy is a big deal. I need to do something simpler and fun to recharge (also note: the work stuff is really cool if you like orange stuff but it's also pretty draining. You just need to put 2 and 2 together to know what I'm talking about:)

So for a little mental break from the hard stuff, because I was looking though old art on the weekend, I'm going to do a short Blade Kitten manga story in black and white. For no other reason than fun. I'm aiming for 6 pages but it might go longer if I also stretch out storytelling full-on manga style (so not a lot of backgrounds most of the time.) We'll see how it goes I might get bored of it before I get up to speed. Whatever I'm doing it until it stops being fun.

Here's a quick test I did this morning in Clip Studio Paint - Also a good excuse to really learn the comic features there.
