some concept art from the very very beginning of this project (oldest being the im westen nichts neues poster) from when i had planned to make it traditionally. these are only sketches, but i actually have some more with ink, which i can not upload with these because of the post limit :/
all of these were made between late february-early march and april
also sorry for the bad quality of the photos, digital has its benefits ig, but let me know if you'd like to see more
i think i'm going on hiatus for a bit, things are not working out at all and it's just frustrating at this point. i'm not satisfied with the state at which i am right now and i don't see progress. i hope to start getting back into it in about a week, but i'll see what i can do.
anyways here's a sketch of paul until you hear from me again
giving myself a little pat on the back because you can tell my art got more dynamic this past year unlike what i had expected
like you're telling me i don't suck at improv as much anymore and don't need to copy references 1:1 all the time?? aww thanks
detail from a warm up i did
damn, i was born too late to witness all quiet getting banned somewhere for antiwar and antimilitary sentiments, at least i was born just in time to witness all quiet getting banned somewhere for antiwar and antimilitary sentiments tho
sketchbook stuff and some storyboards for the graphic novel yk yk
art is starting to be fun again
this year has been challenging for me in the worst ways possible, but i want to thank all of you for giving me a sense of purpose through the support you've shown me and my craft
i wish you all a better, healthier and more fulfilling new year
i didn't appreciate the last AQOTWF adaptation from a storytelling point of view, but that movie's visuals are the core inspiration for my project and the reason i started thinking about it altogether.
here's a gouache study i did approximately one month before starting to work on the comic book (so probably january or february of this year)
