So much has happened in the past few months! I went to a lot of events over the summer including TCAF, MoCCA, and Otakon. I am not sure if I will be going to SPX or APE or not but deep down in my heart I really wish I could go! I already signed up for Canzine in Toronto which is happening this November 1st though. :D I hope to see some of you there! I should have a new zine and mini comic out by then. Please look for it!
I'm working on the pencils for OSCP4 now. I'm 34 pages in! About 1/3rd into the comic... Can you believe it? It was around this same time last year that I drew and finished the first issue of OSCP in two weeks. D: My artwork has changed so much since then. It is really embarrassing just to look at it and realize how bad my drawing was a year ago. It is still really horrible (as in needs more improvement as always), and though I am happy for improvement it is kind of bad how there is no consistency between issues
Inking my pencils has really helped me improve as through the process I realize what is drawn poorly and what I can improve on.

The difference really is astounding! And already my pencils are so much better as you can see from this page for OSCP4!

Anyway, I'm going to keep working hard. Thank you everyone for your continued support! I'm going to try and update this blog more frequently as well. :D

I think it really helped me to keep my lines simpler and thicker. I guess the art has gotten more stylized, and it has helped that I am more familiar with my characters as well.
