Pressure sensitivity restored! Huzzah!  And this is officially the very first, completely finished piece of Hues concept art.

I haven’t done a piece in my signature style in a VERY long time.  It feels good!  I’m not even at the place where I can decide what style I’m going to be using for the comic pages, but I may just throw caution to the wind again and do everything in this style like I did with Garanos.  If you haven’t read Garanos, you should follow this finely crafted link and read my epic fantasy comic: http://www.garanos.com

LINES ARE FOR CHUMPS, HMMPH!

UGH.  Pressure sensitivity isn’t working for some reason, so I’m trying to update my tablet drivers and it’s being very stubborn. B<

A picture of Sami I drew on Friday while I was out working at the coffee shop!  I’m going to work on a colored version tonight while I think up ideas for tomorrow’s Alex’s Guide.

I based the pose off this stock image by SenshiStock.  I find it useful to just browse through her gallery and find something to inspire a drawing.

[Image Description: An illustration of Cherry, a pale-skinned fat woman with light grayish-teal hair cut short and tied in two low ponytails over her shoulders.  She’s also wearing a black bowler with lace hanging down from the brim, a very short white sleeveless minidress, and knee-high lace-up black boots.  Her eye makeup is very dramatic, with orange eyeshadow on one eye and magenta shadow on the other, smeared among black eyeliner.  Drips of color also run down her cheeks.  She’s standing in a sassy pose with her hand on her cocked hip, but her expression is aloof.]

For those who are in the dark (like I was before I kept seeing Cherry fanart pop up on DA) Cherry is the lead singer of the animated band Studio Killers.

First, remember that style comes in all sizes, so the bigger you are, the more style you have. And second, draw attention to your best features by pointing at them, and conceal your flaws by sucker punching anyone who mentions them.

PRRRRREACH, SISTER.

[Image description: An ink and marker drawing of Amanda “The Wall” Waller, a DC Comics character.  She is an intimidating, stocky, fat black woman in a blue skirt suit with a white dress shirt underneath, and gold hoops in her ears.  She is rendered in an angular, geometric style with lots of dramatic shadows.  Her arms are crossed, and she stares forward with a stern expression against a simple black and red background.]

[Image description: A bright and colorful illustration of a chubby girl in jester/harlequin garb.  Her costume is bright magenta and patched in various places with neon colored squares of fabric.  Her harlequin hat is gigantic and reaches to the floor, with large eyeballs instead of bells at the ends. She wears a minidress and thigh-high boots with pointed toes, which also have more eyeballs on the tips. She is holding a small wand/sceptre with a tiny harlequin and many colorful ribbons trailing from it.  She has pale lavender skin and clown makeup, and two swaths of straight purple hair frame either side of her face.]
