Sometimes The Best Writing Advice Is "just Let It Be Bad." Revolutionary. Terrifying. But It Works.

A retelling of me reading todays Aurora page:

- Page loads

- Audibly, ‘WHAT’

- I start hyperventallating

- In my head, ‘Ok Kevin, you gotta calm down they’re fictional characters and they’re going to be ok’

- Breathing slows

- Scrolls to the bottom half of the page

- Sees the last panel and nearly cries

I hope you’re happy Red

Chapter cover art! Woo! Doesn’t look like red posted it on tumblr yet so I figured I’d put it out there

If I had a nickel for everytime the long haired redhead cinnamon bun character gets grabbed in the face by a monster in a webcomic I like I wouldn't be able to buy much because twenty cents is not a lot.

almost forgot to fuckin post these

I call this one

Fire Starter.

This is Dainix from @comicaurora. Not a whole lot of symbolism to say for this piece. I just wanted to draw my favorite fire boi <3

As for technical things, I used 6B Pencil from Procreate for the ink (I’ve been using it so much since I discovered it; WHY WHERE YOU ALL HIDING THIS FROM ME?) and a custom coloring brush I made. I used a whole bunch of chromatic aberration and red/blue rendering bc it looks amazing, but the hardest part was trying to render the fire in Dainix’s cruicible form. This was mostly a practice for an upcoming project of mine, but it went out of my control and ended up as a fully rendered piece.

i love characters who are always like fear not, i shall take care of this problem for you….. by sacrificing myself!! and everyone else is like i swear to god if you pull this shit again i’ll kill you

spot the difference

woah this character is so cool i wish they were covered in blood their whole body trembling with a look of absolute horror on their face as theyre struggling to breathe in panic
