Words! Are you coming up with a story as you go along or have you meticulously planned something?

About 1.5-2 hours of reading if you like that kind of thing - or just skim the pics if you like.

I read Beowulf and thought I could do better. I guess I probably didn't but I gave it a shot and I'm pretty proud of a few things in there. I'd like to record it in a sing-songy way someday...

No harm, I didn't mean to ask for your apology. You didn't do anything wrong and thankyou for making sure people don't fetishize mental illness. I consider all your comments respectful.

Having thought on it I do think my drawing is probably too direct about it for something lacking a context I haven't added. I think I should have waited until I made some more associated writings so that the nuance in my mind about the topic would have carried across better. Sorry for any distress.

Cable management is the first one I did put of this set! Got through a big migraine just before I started drawing these. I'll keep my thoughts about quintessence a secret, people seem to like the mystery of it.

I'm sorry to hear that. You have my sympathies.

This is inspired by disco Elysium which uses things like drug addiction in positive and negative ways. None of the skills are intended as purely positive or negative, I just use that name because that game had also. I think there are things people suffer from that can make them uniquely better equipped for enduring some circumstances that they fight daily that many people couldn't handle (not that it is a positive aspect in majority).

And not that it matters to me, but the only reason I felt comfortable including it is because it is part of my life and I have been bullied for it. Yes, if I had cancer I might also put that in as a skill too.

Thanks. A few are on the chopping block to be replaced but none of the ones you mentioned.

🔝🥀⌨️🔍choices of someone who has the compulsion to know what is going on, I suspect.

You can pick one skill from each row, and they can't be from the same column.

Interesting, I was thinking people would rank the opposite, but your ranking makes sense as it is also in order of my familiarity with the tool. I'm still learning to use digital and colour, I hadn't noticed it was distracting me from the information density of the actual narrative contents. Digital makes it easy to add things in, I think I'll revisit them when I finish their associated stories :)

Thanks! I've always liked narrative paintings and wanted it to be dissectable, each one puts me in a narrative setting of a story I made (or have yet to make) so cross-referencing should mean the meaning isn't completely obscured, hopefully. And I did struggle a lot with getting that facial expression the way I wanted good to hear it works!

I actually made some little animations with blender grease pencil a while ago, love it a lot but animation's hard. Made my own 2d cloth simulated extension for the parachute one.

I've also taken to importing my Inkscape drawings in and adding little animations bits too sometimes.

Do you use grease pencil for static images or animation much? What kinds of things do you do in Inkscape?

which style do you prefer?

I really like the ones you've been posting lately, great use of limited colours! Is the colour done by some sort of marker? The way you do reflective bits and lighting with it is really cool. And are all the characters part of the same imagined world or do they each have their own little story?
