Fixing Up Saint Goblin

I've been updating some of the dialog and art in Saint Goblin before I progress further into the story. If you're interested in the updated version, it can be found on Global Comix or the official Saint Goblin comic site. However, I'm gonna leave the old version up on theOtaku because I didn't save those files on my computer! I didn't realize my mistake until I had overwritten the comic pages.

Fresh Artwork in the Making

I've been working on a character piece for Theuderic, the father of Merowing. He hasn't shown up yet in the Saint Goblin comic, and he won't for a while but I wanted to draw him so I could officialize his design. In the story, he wields a great sword called Gladius Imperatoria, which Merowing's sword, the Heliand, is an imperfect replica. Theuderic will lead a group of soldiers known as the Trustis. Unlike the King's Twelve Peers, the Trustis are not paladins. They are more like rogue warriors.

I probably won't be done with this piece for a while. Unlike the 2 hr marker drawings from my sketchbook, full artwork can take me over a week to finish. I was going to make a digital watercolor background for it, but now I'm thinking I might leave it blank or hand draw a separate one. My dad got me a new set of watercolor pens, maybe I'll use those?

To be honest, his character design has become my favorite so far. Used to be Ebbo, but Theuderic's outfit is way more fun to draw! Next I'll try to draw a cute girl character instead of another swordsman.

Saint Goblin pg.9 Lineart

So its been a minute since I updated Saint Goblin and I wanted to let you guys know that pages 9 and 10 are finished inking. Now all that is left is to color them digitally! Since editing the lineart is a process all by itself, I thought I'd show off the pre-color finished product.

This is what I consider the halfway point. After editing the lineart, I finish the page with coloring and lettering. Unfortunately after inking these past few pages, my inks have begun to run dry. I'll need a new ink set. I thought about switching from pens to brushes once I get some 11"x17" Bristol board. I need new textures that nibs can't make.

Saint Goblin Pg. 8 Raw Inks!

So I don't really ever get a chance to show off what my inked comic art looks like before it gets colored digitally, so here is the next page of Saint Goblin in black and white!

This was one of the last two pages I drew using graphite for some of the shading. I bought my gray scale ink set soon after finishing page 9, so I stopped using graphite after this.

I won't be able to color this page until Friday because of my busy schedule this week. But I've got plenty of new pages freshly inked and ready to be scanned! Stay tuned!

New Art Supplies!

I got some new fountain pens from five below the other day. The set included 2 pens, one with an EF nib and the other a XF nib, and four ink cartridges. EF stands for Extra Fine, but so does XF, which is a little confusing.

I wish I could do some fancy calligraphy, but my penmanship is horrific. Instead I just hack away at a page, laying down ink like a butcher. It often feels like I'm drawing with a knife! Sometimes I draw so hard that I cut into the paper...

I wanted a real chance to test my new pens, so I worked all night on a drawing of a character design I've had stored away in my sketchbook. She doesn't have a name yet or a comic that she belongs to, so she's one of my many homeless OCs. She was originally designed with my comic, Saint Goblin, in mind. However, as you can see, her design is too cute not to have a story of her own!

Now, I'm no nib expert but the blue pen with the XF nib felt like it laid down more ink, so it was my choice for outlining the piece and filling in black areas. The detail work, such as the cross-hatching, hair, and embroidery, was done mostly with the green pen with the EF nib. This nib felt finer than the XF nib.
