still a long way off, but eh. hmm, helm. >:/ ya.
sketch.
</3 aw dion :(
arawn looks fat from this angle lol
its for the chapter 4 cover :)
the kids
alia isnt a kid, no
she like, 26-27 in horse years, man. lol
see how animated the sketch is before the final steps lol
yes hello i love you sahail ;-;
r.i.p my guy </3
characters for a little kiddie story i'm working on :) idk for like... my siblings and stuff. and for my mom. somth
she wanted me to write one so
I might have known you before from somewhere, but now I just don't remember.
You'd best believe I love you.
lol
:)
idk this is ugly
I've wanted to draw Carousel for the longest time ever ;-;
He belongs to Imagination-Soars on dA! :)
man, I usually like horror stuff, but the whole time i was thinking about how the carnival horses are just the most terrifying, like, a REAL fear. They look like tortured souls shoved in carved big toys for kids. who'd make those things for kids eh?!? what sick person started this alksadjajlsdhld
well i'm sorry hunny </3 :(
i tried a weird pose, it's probably off but idk
different man styles xD
sputty laughs at them all
fab sput
i think arawn's style is cute though
ugly choppy thing
Hayla (akhal-teke who works under Volke) tending to a wounded Hilt (warrior for Volke - he's the boss. i'm planning on a comic of it after i finish sots - it basically takes place a long time after sots, with similar elements and magic and void :)
sketch
ok
lol helm and bess are tucking the kids in bed
i love them
ok but are u even listening boy?
well bless me, i haven't drawn a page in so long my newest (chapter 4, page 2) looks so dang bad im gunna die lol
i worked on it a full week and it still sucks, im so tired of it so whatever i'll fix it later geez
comics can be a dang pain in the butt but i like doing em
i miss sputs
also i fogot how to draw legs
kids
ribcage
younger dion
yeah i'm up with my trash again while i still got time lol
im trying to make it mind-boggling and real-fake, the comic. it'll help develop arawn's character better i guess.
"I'll sleep here until the days become a blur."
This is super sketchy and messy, idk if im going to fix it later
heavily inspired by Bru's lil drawing ;-; so yeah thanks so much Bru!
I actually think it's canon that the Lost Herd have a willow (I changed it and made it an oasis in the desert, more like a swamp-oasis really where they live so)
lol nightmare pages are my favorite to draw because they're so random and creepy and different from the story line. arawn's gonna get some heckweird dreams, and they're gonna help shape his character by a lot and determine his actions. 8) it's not the same sots as the draft yo, this one's got a slight tint in the plot.
i blocked out speech bubbles for spoilers.
scraps
geez arawn
uh huh so
quick sketch of the girls being happy for once
smug helm lol
this didnt make it into the page :(
i hate chapter 4 only because i have to draw 100000000 background characters lol rip
i hate background characters. x_x pain
5 minute sketch thing
idk tried some pose
zzz lazy boi
yay an ok sketch for once

random sam & rance from dac comic strip lol

8/16/17: also if i get on less it's cause i'm doting over my new chickens ;-; my brother bought 10 ladios on friday. he fixed up the pen so *hopefully* these chickens won't die by raccoon jaws. they're such precious ladies i love them so much gah
so cute ;-; but they're so slow to cope they're still staying next to the pen but they love
me because im their waitress and entertainer
they run to greet when i visit like 3 times a day
lol
at their peck and call
anyway i love them bye
8/17/17: lost grey spotted chicken to heatstroke :( it's so hot down here.
I mean she got stuck somewhere for hours in the daytime, under the sun. she couldn't get unstuck and didn't have access to water. and when I came out to check on them it was already too late. she was breathing but with a super fast pulse and a head drooped as if dead. i freed her and tried to put her in water to cool her down but she died right there.
I hate my state. so. much.
rip, beautiful girl </3 :(
raising chickens is painful what it doesn't have to be this way
sorry im just sad and mad at my myself for not removing that object she got stuck in. like how couldn't i have thought of it
dangit
Yassss, freedom, you opened commenting finally! <3 Okay let me just retrieve that comment I saved in notepad...
ReplyDelete(edit: this might be slightly outdated idk xD)
ReplyDeletearrgghh I can't believe I'm five months late commenting on this, that's like half a year :'( why am I always so slow man ... Ha! You have no idea how many messages behind I am girl. xD
1) boi that's a lot of layers... I can tell how much effort and time it takes! And gosh this particular page looks gorgeous... those butter-gold twilight/sand aesthetics. <:)
2) ahhhh sputty is always so dark but handsome at the same time, how do you do it? ;-; lol I love that superior glance there! And Alya talking omg. <3
3) Whoa you're really improving with your scenery. O.O I love these panels so much!! The colours you've chosen are a perfect combination ahhh. Also you've injected a well-developed mood for Helm there! (poor helmy ;-;) Seriously wondering what the void are up to there though. xD (actually it's giving me horror and excitement vibes!) About your thoughts concerning Helm... hm, well tbh I don't think almost obvious if you see what I mean? (it's a writer's thing haha ^^;) Anyway I can't wait to see more of him in the newer version! :D
4) welp getting some feelings for dion here ;-; I love the grey-ish mood of this one despite how downcast it is... I think it's something about the unsaturated colours and how it fits in well with Dion? Not to mention, it's always interesting to see the other sides of darker characters. ;-; (man I must be going deep but this concept is compelling ok)
5/6) Ahh your covers are so effective as always!! It makes me want to find out what exactly is going to happen. ;-; Also love the various different poses you try for Arawn. I really need to catch up ahhh. But another thing I can't forget to mention again is that it's great to see you've included the initial sketches! :D (I always wonder how you make your drawings look so pro. <3)
7) I'm really lacking the commenting oomph today but heck I LOVE this one! (how do I even express it? ;-;) It makes me excited when I see all your characters in one haha. xD (maybe it's those anime-ish vibes idk lol) The varying expressions combined all in one really makes this so energetic and highlights their key features in character. <3 (yasss I'm going to call her Len from now on <8) and sahail omg what r u doing son ... Alia is so stoic, I adore her temperament but I'm sure I've already expressed that a lot haha, and you've captured Arawn's brave personality perfectly here! lovelies <3)
8) Wow I really like how you've revealed the process steps in this one!! :D I love Alia, so elegant. ;-; Anyway this pose in particular is so striking, the way it's slightly slanted and how her (gorgeous <8)) hair tilts with the pose! Yes I'm really intrigued when you share process steps of your art ok... (augh atm I'm finding it really hard to type since I'm on a laptop this time... keys are so far apart x'D)
9) no why would you write 'rip' don't even suggest that drama, poor sahail omg ;-; he's so soft like why would anyone hurt him. But this picture is so cute ahh! That superior expression and his formal ribbon aww. xD But Sahail is a CINNAMON ROLL why would you even consider- <3 (yes you know the rest ;-;)
10) Ahhh it's so cool you're doing this, they look super cute! <3 I love the simplicity in this drawing with those infant-like colours/patterns and the simple names too, it's giving me childhood story vibes! What did they think of the idea? :D (my mum wanted me to do art for a younger audience too I think but I never got round it welp ;-; these concepts are really fun though, like stepping back into your childhood haha!)
11/2/3) man this is sad and angsty <:( but it's giving me chills, I love it. somewhat ;-; Ahhh I don't really know 100% of what is going on but heck the void is sinister! u_u WAIt is this all about Alia? And Sputnik? Omg. *dies* okay I'm so ignorant I don't know what is going on half the time but omg this is intriguing and I must know more *sob* ;-; feels T_T
ReplyDelete14) Bess and Helm!! ye they're rivals for sure right? This is funny though, it seems like something has gone well for Bess and has had the opposite effect on Helm. C': Love these two leaders! <3 (helm ;-;) Also love how you've drawn them here! <3 (like the interesting contrasts in their appearances... e.g. helm's lighting-rigid mane haha)
15) Whoa, this piece is really gorgeous, I don't know how to say it to you. o.o It's giving me one of those emotional thunderstorm aesthetics... (asinkajsndkajsda I genuinely don't know what to type right now, I'm stuck for words... x'D) Anyway I love how this captures a blue and forlorn aesthetic for Dion with its gloomy and simple blend of unsaturated colours... you can really see the kind of emotion being drawn out of it! In terms of the picture itself, the viewing angle is literally stunning with the front of grass and Dion in the centre, balanced out with the cloudy yet glowing background... and speaking of glowing, how did you achieve those soft blues there in the sky and the red effects on Dion himself? (I'm curious, this really is a fantastic picture! ;-; and welp I feel something for Dion there ^^') This is really a masterpiece and really inspiring too! <3
16) (I see what you did there!! xD Are 15, 16 and 17 all based on song lyrics?) NO you can't hurt my feels like this *sobs* ;-; this relationship is seriously emotional with the sputty, alya and alia fam <3 Plus the quote really matches this well it hurts! T_T There's so much symbolism in this aaahhhh... y u have to do dis 8'(
17) From #15 until here... wow these pictures really fit so well together... it gives me film trailer vibes! The void and Arawn have a very uh complicated relationship it seems. xD This is such a nightmarish aesthetic lol. (poor arawn :'()
18) Haha yesss is it the Sahail-Arawn-Lenore fam? xDD Sahail is always a cinnamon roll, I could spot him anywhere <3 (euh somewhat, I'm not that good at spotting my faves actually ;-;) These panels look super awesome! (still super hyped for SotS!!)
19) Omigosh Helm looks so royal in his red coat/belt there!! <8) That side-stare gives him a superior I-am-the-best impression haha. He's always so formal and handsome, how do you do it ma'am
20) How is this "ugly"? How dare you say such a thing about a beautiful portrait of my son. u_u (omg xD) I don't know why but like I always seem to associate Helm with lightning because of his beautiful sharp mane and those bright yellow eyes lol... but you always draw him so fantastic okay?? I really want to see a tutorial. ;-;
21) Well I guess it's just another version of a clown eh? ^^; But ye seriously they are kinda creepy right? Quite an interesting concept! Anyway, I love how you drew this!! The carnival/theme park vibes are phenomenal albeit sinister! :D Kudos to Imagination-Soars for the inspiring character of Carousel too! <3 (also I seem to remember you drew something about carnival horses before too right? xD)
Delete22) ouch poor helm and why ;-; There's a very... ah intriguing concept about this blog and its void-vomiting horses :)))) (but seriously I wonder, can the void be so harsh on them) ya it's good to see you drawing more poses ma'am!
23) Oh and if I were a horse I think I'd be A. (omg jk xD) Yo this looks like a great compilation man! As I always say, it's interesting to see you try new things haha. Totally support this idea!! I REALLY need to see more of Sputnik with that dashing mane style that he's rocking there lol. (harr bby <3) Lenore also looks fab (if that's Lenore! x'D). ok but can we get more braided manes 'cause it looks super cool. ¬u¬ (still fangirling over sputty omg <3) Also since I'm so sloppy at spotting who's who, can you verify that Alia is above Arawn there? (haha imagine if I'm hopelessly wrong x'D)
24) What??? this is SKILL. How did you physically animate this really cool thing? I love how Arawn materialises from just a few ellipses and transforms back (wooo power! xD) ... it's phenomenal and frankly breath-taking. (I wish I knew your secrets to animating so amazingly ;-;)
25) Love this colour version too! Haha how did you go about this exactly? Were you like thinking of both animating and colouring this one simultaneously? :D (pls show me ur skills hana pls)
26) *sniff* you're bringing these lads into a new comic 8') Ahhh just love this piece though! Hayla looks like a fantastic character with the unique style, the strawberry red/pink + curls - can't wait for more content!! <3 Plus Volke always has potential wherever he is right? >8) so excited for this and SotS too!!
27) WHERE'S SPUTNIK?? where's daddy #1?? >8( haha ok helm had better take good care of li'l sahail that naughty boy. u_u (no jk xD) It's funny how you turn one of your comic panels into this... now why am I thinking about pictures with drawn-on mustaches and top hats/devil horns? (ok now don't let me ruin Helm's reputation lol)
28) quality meme. x'D also #relatable ;-; But oh my if only I worked that hard on just a page of doodles ... how do you even manage that girl? I mean, I barely do any art all week now (even just sketches), I really need some of your motivation skills over here Hana! >.< (thumbs up to helm there)
29) yay more sputty doodles! xD "also i fogot how to draw legs" why did I hear that in a 5-yar-old voice LOL ... but seriously I have never even known how to draw legs properly, like ever. ;-;
30) *insert dreamy tone here* Ahhh Alia is so dashing if I hope you don't mind me say again. <8) (That particular drawing is really well structured there though, you nailed it on the line-of-action have to say! :D) yes i love my children.
31/32) Whoa, I'm really thinking of lava lamps here... this "ribcage" aesthetic is fascinating! Interesting to see the differences between the first and the last, how those colours and lighting effects really set off that vibrant and perhaps vicious motive? Those swirls following Helm make him look like he has superpowers lol (okay maybe not idk haha). This one's super cool overall!
33) Yass I love Arawn <3 (although I suppose that comment is not new :P) The expression is balanced out really well with the pose here, and also I just noticed, do you usually choose a slightly grey-ish white to reveal the contrast against a blank background? I never really thought of that lol... (I don't know if I made sense there but I mean kind of like how you'd choose a grey-ish black when colouring black areas inside black lineart if you know what I mean. xD)
Delete34) Heck yes I didn't know I needed younger Dion until I saw this and now I know. <8) he sure looks handsome sir. And innocent too, must say. ;-; (wahh I really like this one, he looks so pure <33)
35) Aaahhh angst, lovely angst, my friend ;-; <3 *sob* my heart. why.
36) LOL Sahail on a tree? Why not! 8D Jokes aside, this actually looks gorgeous, isn't it the cover or something? xD I really adore those after-dark purples conveying dreamy imagination ... and not to mention purple is my favourite colour! ^^; Sahail shows up really well amongst those darker colours, kind of like the "star on the holiday tree" if you see what I mean. x'D (hm do you name your layers after the dialogue in the panels? Let's see... "It wasn't hard" "Sahail? Good" noice) rip arawn's character
37) *deep-breath* Oh my, this is simply charming... O.O Ahhh the view and focus on Alia is so irresistibly perfect and the circular viewpoint made by the trunks passing into the oasis is just so picturesque?? I'm really in awe! :D Also I really admire Bruneydog's beautiful and inspiring concept of Alia there... I mean, purple glows for Alia's mane? Sign me up!! <3 (And as I just mentioned above I personally find purple shades so fascinating! xD) Love your collab pieces as always, Hana! The quote is super fitting too! C:
38) You really seem to have a nice purple aesthetic going on here! Yasss I support nightmare pages!! (if, you know, everybody is ok in the end that is ;-;) Your choice of colour really reflects the theme well! (welp I think you may have made a mistake; I can vaguely see the speech bubbles in the icon in the top right corner. x'D Don't worry I didn't read them, thanks for the heads up!) Looking forward to this chapter haha...
39) Your villains are really, um, villainous. (and too cruel >8() It pains me to see Sahail in agony *cries* pls someone stop this evil beast. :'( Anyway I see how these drawings fit in the comic panels above... so do you draw them elsewhere first and then paste them in or something? ^^' Ah and I can see where the Sputnik jigsaw piece fits, in that empty square hm. (right?) Gosh you really are cruel to your characters ma'am, who let you do this. >8( (pls let sahail be ok pls <3)
40) Arawn's face there is me when I try to draw you something and then realise I've butchered your OCs.
41) haha what's going on m an? xD Is helm telling him secrets? >8( (good heavens sputnik looks really handsome ... watch that mane lol)
42/43) *hold breath* i am DEAd/. HANA I'M STARING AT THIS MASTERPIECE IT'S SO GOOD OMG. how idd you do that??? Aren't my girls so beautiful? ;-; Honestly, they both look so elegant and carefree here! I personally tend to see Alia as the gal who naturally slays without having to put any effort into it and is generally dark/distant (like sputty?) but simultaneously really cool (and your fave lol) and Lenore as gentle, caring and tranquil (?), if that even makes sense? xD And here you can really see the contrast in their characters being brought together by an emotion they share, a spirited feeling, and I think that's so awesome right... ;-; The calm depth in the background conjured up with those light pastel colours give an overall dreamy mood that matches their lively expressions so well! :D (Ahhh I don't know if you've uploaded this to dA, bc I haven't really been on, but this would definitely go in my Masterpieces folder if you have!) so good gosh. <3
44) At first I smiled bc yes he does look very smug and smug!Helm is the best thing ever and then I frowned bc you said it didn't make it. >8( How did this not make it into the page missy? You'd better have a good reason for it. u_u* (okay but I really, really like that expression on him, it just suits haha... just imagine it being his reaction to everyone ,like, ah- nevermind.)
Delete45) Oh gosh I kind of laughed in relief, I thought they were all goners. x'D (I mean I just glanced at the picture without properly understanding it... welp I'm so stupid <:)) I can see Sahail is uh having issues with Sputnik then? Wait he ventured off... hm... I really have an itching urge to read this chapter aah. Oh and the background characters! You really manage them so well all the time, much better than I ever would! (I just had a very strange thought... what would happen if you rode Sahail? <8) nope sorry that's a daft thought rotfl)
46) This is NICE! :D And just 5 minutes? Haha if only I could draw amazing things like you can in such a short amount of time (this for instance? It'd probably take me, let's say about 5 hours and I'm giving you an honest value there ;-;) Anyway I can just tell that blue backgrounds suit Arawn really well! (Maybe it's the red, white and blue theme idk xD) You nailed it on the pose too! <3
47) ya lazy boi. ^^; (aka me in the morning) Aww I love Sahail. <3 And I'm really jealous of the wide ranges of pose you manage to draw so professionally. ;-;
48) Huh? All your poses are more than "ok"?!! u_u Where's your secret to having ideas for such a wide variety of poses then? :D This one looks super cool too, I love the turning effect it has!
49) Hnnnggg why are the void so mean to poor sputty. >8( One thing I just noticed here is that you actually draw your poses in really good depth too? Like, if it were me, I'd probably draw him so that all four of his legs are on the same level omg. x'D (maybe I should stop being lazy and actually look at a proper tutorial for once) Yaaay Sputnik fan club! xD
50) pff, honey you didn't screw up here, you did really well, you're just denying it. C': That pose is superb! I love the focus on Sahail's signature red ribbon and his stunned expression... how can this get any better?
51) "roasting and judging" ye that's about the right way to say it. <8) (why so harr though...) I live for that mysterious darkness about Sputnik where he just decides to take it easy and microwave them all with his gaze lol.
52) (oh September... that just proves how late I am xD) Wooo congrats on finishing another page! ;-; Sahail looks super cute here with his innocent side-glance. <3 (I'm starting to really like Sahail more than ever eep ^^;)
53) HEY RANCE HOW U DOING BUDDY <8) ah my boy is backkkk!! <33 AND HIS HAIR IS DOWN AAH omigosh is this real is it CANON??? *fangirl hype* ok why am I always so dumb and over-excited. Waaahhhh I really like this sketch I need more. C': *sniff* BUT WHY aaaahhh. *dead* rip me y'all. happy days. rance is pure. (why so cute T_T) Okay fine I'll be serious with you, this "5 minute" sketch is SO GOOD. His golden expression, the way his hair falls realistically, everything!! ;-; can I buy this? (and can I pat his head rotfl x'D) bye rance have a lovely day <3 (Your comment there just gave me a nightmarish intrusive thought... Rance with short hair... would he be Rance anymore? just imagine Rance and not-so-Rance i mean, nope. xD ... also see what you mean there, and relatable I guess! <:))
54) ROTFL!! 8D Sam is mood tm and Rance is disney prince ... this is GOLD! Definitely need to see the DaC comic strips, where are they? ;-; But aww Rance is a cutie here, he has no idea poor thing lol. And Sam doesn't realise how desperate he is haha... or if she does she doesn't care LOL. Rance is a cinnamon roll. <8) <333
Ahhh it's great to hear your brother bought some new chickens! :D Ye it's ya "waitress and entertainer" xD But the second update is so sad! D: I know it's been ages since (welp that was August and we're now January...) but I'm really sorry for your loss! Poor thing. <3 (speaking of which, which names did you give the new lot? ^^)
DeleteWell guess I've reached the end of the post! ;-; I'll get round to your newer ones soon too hopefully! :) (Really enjoyed commenting on this one and as always I'm such a fan your works! <3)
(EDIT: I genuinely had no idea my comment would take up this much space and ahh Blogger's commenting system is super irritating. >.<; sorry about that! D: I must look like a jerk commenting what looks like an English essay!)
