Another week of sketches as Inktober rolls on. I got a little more distracted this week with some illness in the house. I got 6 out of the 7 for the week done. 5 more to go for the rest of the month.
Sketches for this week were inspired by the following prompts
Medusa
Vampire
Asonists Lullaby
Murder at the Bingo Hall
They're coming to get you Barbara
RE: Brains
Time to find out what offer this Studio wants to offer Stephanie. What do they want? Do you think Stephanie should say yes?
Yes, Mina is just off screen. She just didn't have anything to say on this page.
Next week we will be back to Final Exam, and then in November we will learn what Stephanie's answer will be.
Victory and Grace taking some time out post trades to relax and get some well earned time away from Stephanie and Lexi.
Once again, the great Sturkwurk lent his talents to imagining an updated look for Victory.

Stephanie and Mina continue their journey into Seoul and find they have a ride waiting for them from the music studi. Seems like they are interested in our social media diva.
Stephanie already has a built in audience, in addition to an adult audience. What does the studio want to offer her?

I played a little catch up this week. I missed a bunch in the early part of the week, so I could focus on pages. And the back off of the week I had some time off and got to catch up.
Continuing to use our characters here with Victory, Lexi, Gwen and Stephanie. Stephanie got the most use so I didn't keep doing terrible things to Lexi.
Songs this round include:
The Whole Being Dead Thing from BeetleJuice
Red Flags by Tom Cardy

Stephanie and Mina arrive in South Korea! we are going to follow them while they attend a wedding and Stephanie gets to experience a different culture from her own.
This feels like a talk they should have had a long while ago, but sometimes we forget things and make assumptions. While Mina knows fully about Stephanie's past and who she is, Stephanie was already a Korean woman when they met. Likely made some assumptions, or just didn't think about it.

I forgot that sturkwurk offered this render of well. Victory isn't the same height as Grace, she has some pretty tall heels and Grace is in sneakers. But we get to see more Victory's upgraded bod that she still needs to buy new shirts for. And well, she got looks at the court house before, the large rack isn't helping how people see her there.
BTW : Any nice comments on the art, I'll make sure to share with Sturkwurk. Artists crave feedback. It's like mana from heaven.

Sturkwurk wanted to do his take on Victory post trades. Not too much of a dramatic change for her. Curvier/bustier, as well as gaining a little more height as her wife suggested.
You saw her bust line increase in Monday's page. In Victory's 'Next Month' (whenever that may be), she'll follow through on Grace's suggestion to gain some height back. At least then she'll be even more taller than Le...

We have hit 250 pages! While I didn't plan for this stuff to coincide with a few major changes, we have a few notable things going on.
Victory did her first Trade. She has been changed by nanobots before, but the first time she has done a trade. I'm keeping Victory mostly intact and making some smaller, surface level changes to maybe help out Victory.
Lexi has lost her Scottish Accent. Ultimately, it I felt it didn't work as well as I had wanted to. Because Steph's accent/langua...

Week two of Inktober is in the books. I feel a little behind, but was able to catch up.
The themes this year are inspired by my Halloween playlist. The songs used as inspiration are:
Dancing in the Moonlight | Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem
Vampire | The Orion Experience
Sexy | Avantika | Mean Girls Musical

I think this is the first page in a long time where all the font is the same color and the same font.
So I'm going back to a comic I wrote with Sturkwurk 7 years ago for this page. This is Grace, Victory (Harper's) partner/wife from the Ballad of Harper Kelly available on tgcomics.com
It's unlikely for Grace to come back anytime soon. I mostly felt that if Victory was going to do this, she needed the encouragement and p...

We're back to Open Trade! We are hanging out with Lexi and Victory who is sticking around to supervise Lexi. Lexi is trying to best in her Scottish-Bimbo words to try to convince Victory to do a trade.
Personally, I think Lexi is just happy to have someone around that is her size.
My goal is to split the month so we get some of Lexi and some of Stephanies journey. Been going back and forth if a month is all with one of them or splitting it. We'll see what works best. Do you all ...

We had back to Ella and Cassie at Morris home and Ella fishes to learn more about Morris and Cassie's relationship.
Thank you for your patience with the delayed page. I'm planning on Open Trade having new pages on Weds and Friday this week.

Here are the first batch of sketches from inktober. I sketched most of them early in the week before getting sick and needing to skip Friday's page (It will be up Monday).
I've been making some guidelines for myself. Mostly to work on improving my skills. Either black or white or a limited palette. I'll highlight the palettes in the corner when used.
I started using some of our established characterers so I'm not designing a new person every time. So we have Lexi in two of them, ...

Hi Folks! I'm not feeling too good. Stomach issues. So I'm going to move things around. So I'm posting this today, and pages will be next week. Sorry everyone.

I was a fan of the original anime, even if I had only watched a season's worth of episodes. Obviously given other interestests, Ranma 1/2 is a story that would appeal to me. I'm very curious about the new version of it that comes out tomorrow on Netflix.
Also, pdf attachments are back!

2024-10-04 13:47:50 +0000 UTC View PostI know it is a controvertial choice to have Victory (Harper) do a trade. Especially given her character's history. I wanted to answer a couple questions that will likely come up.
Victory Will be in Control
Victory is taking a random trade. But she will not be making the same mistakes as Steph and Lexi. She will be able to trade back when and if she wants to.
Grace is OK with this.
I feel like we can't do i...
Mina makes a bold gesture to win Stephanie over and give a experience she has been desiring. Stephanie makes a change before going on a trip. Lexi is also here.

It's October and that means it's Inktober.
What's Inktober? Essentially it is a month to encourage artists to use more physical resources to draw something every day. Similar to Septrener that TGC does, but the version for 2D artists.
I've been thinking of giving it a go this year. Instead of the prompts that many people are using, I'm going to use my own prompts. Every year, I make a Halloween themed playlist, and over the last few years, it's been getting t...

Way back in July I took some requests for sketches while I tested out some new tools. I did draw this back in July, but due to the schedule, I wasn't able to get this one up until now.
Cody Sevens asked for any anime character I wanted to draw. Unfortunately, my anime knowledge is a bit limited. So I thought it would be fun to make Stephanie a Saiyan. Dragonball Z being a fav of mine.
As for anime, I'm aware of quite a bit. But I've only really watched like...

Back to Final Exam as our swapped SWP app users, Morris and Ella try to figure out what to do with their new reality about being trapped in each others bodies.
When writing originally I wrote 24 pages, then changed formatting of the page layouts. So the 24 pages I wrote turned into 14 pages. I always had a plan if the story finished earlier than expected, but I didn't think it was going to burn through my script this fast. So get ready for a ride for what I had as my back up plan. I thi...

Final Exam follows Morris as he gets an offer to rent out his body, or rather, paid to take someone else's body in order to pass a college exam. How much are they offering for this service, and will Morris even consider it?

Victory's first time on camera, and it seems like a good time for her to take advantage of the opportunity to talk to the audience. Maybe it can help her fix things.
Victory's tats are shifting a bit as I figure out how to simplify and replicate them easier and faster.
Victory's chest tat is based off a tat a model I used to work with has. It was higher up, but made it basically impossible to hide unless she wore a turtleneck. It was one of her early tats and she kind hated it. ...

Stephanie is getting ready to take off on a flight out of the country. She's more than a little nervous. I'm sure she will be fine...mostly.
Meanwhile, it's Lexi's time to shine!!

Stephanie is off on her trip, leaving Lexi alone to do the stream. Maybe she can talk someone into helping her out.
Putting more work into Victory's tats. I did catch that I entirely missed a page where she was in a tank top and we should have seen a lot of tats. I'll have to go back and fix that one.

244 was a bit of a rough page. I hadn't been feeling good lately. Bit of meds. Bit of seasonal stuff. Feeling much better after some rest yesterday and ready to go, and will likely working on next week's pages a little later today.
Fun notes or comments or questions.
I don't know if Victory realizes she is dressed like Kim Possible. I'm also not sure with the characters ages which ones even know who Kim Possible is.
