Hot damn. Look at the shading and lighting on that. Down right reflective. To the point where I'm kinda fuckin MAD THAT THERE'S NO PROTECTIVE CASE ON IT. >:)

2024-09-27 01:25:06 +0000 UTCThanks so much! I'm really excited about this one. It's the first comic in a long time where I am truly feeling satisfied with every panel thus far. Still not totally where I want it to be but getting there.

2024-09-25 19:22:48 +0000 UTCYou've been bound by creative spirits then. "Ooh look at me, I'm Hollering Elk, my soul is tethered to the gods of drawing. Ooh."

2024-09-25 17:42:47 +0000 UTCI literally have no idea how this is happening. This is the nicest phone I have ever drawn in my life and I am stunned. I had to dedicate a whole post to it and it's like one tiny square out of the full comic, lmao.

2024-09-25 16:54:27 +0000 UTCThank you!!! It's still going to have some kinks here and there but loving this new era. I also now have 3 distinct styles. Elk Hunt, The outlandish one offs, and TVD/TCO.

2024-09-25 16:22:42 +0000 UTCThat is INCREDIBLE progress Elk 👏🏻

2024-09-25 16:20:41 +0000 UTCHa! Gotcha! The screen is smudged too, haha. I let my Facebook followers see this as well and they're going mad wiping their screens to see the details, lmao.

2024-09-25 16:16:58 +0000 UTCDude I thought the glare on the iPhone was on my phone and swiped up to see the details better, but the detail moved with it! Well done 😅

2024-09-25 16:16:02 +0000 UTCAlmost exactly a year! I haven't really paid much attention to what new techniques have arised since TCO, but funnily enough, I believe Elk Hunt introduced quite a few in the way of confidently handling flat plains of colors and overlay of small details.

2024-09-25 16:07:42 +0000 UTCWhat's the real time difference between these comics? The detail difference is phenomenal and I'm sure it's not been THAT long since the first one right?
Racheal Winson
2024-09-25 15:45:11 +0000 UTCLikely, yes. Every single object and detail has a purpose, and there are several on Page 3 that will reappear throughout the series. I have a section of my spiral blocked off for time period material, documents, and tech.

2024-09-25 15:09:03 +0000 UTCThis just means you get to one up their nerdy mansplain when the inevitable happens 😜

2024-09-25 15:07:53 +0000 UTCOh you detail devil!!😈
adhd.tiger
2024-09-25 15:06:55 +0000 UTCIt is an iPhone 6s from 2015, and the scene takes place in 2016 and will be noted as such in the corner of her journal there. 😉 TVD is heavily researched, there will be no technological inaccuracies.

2024-09-25 15:05:26 +0000 UTCReddit nerds might jump on you about the front camera on that iPhone :P Edit: dammit. Can’t add photo

2024-09-25 15:03:05 +0000 UTCYou're good! It's actually all the same set of tools with the exception of a handful of new brushes. My technical approach saw a lot of improvement in the downtime between "The Race" and now.

2024-09-25 14:24:22 +0000 UTCDerp.... For some reason I was thinking it was new artist tools on your pad

2024-09-25 14:12:00 +0000 UTCI really have. There are parts of this comic that are so absurdly well rendered compared to previous multipagers I may have to put up a disclaimer. I'm so glad I have y'all here on Patreon to watch how it comes together. I'm so in the zone, I don't want to wreck my flow recording a time-lapse, but I plan to do so for the last page. We also plan to use that for an episode of Pen Pals.
