I’m going to post this for sale on Etsy. I’ve pencilled and then inked it with Pitts artist pen and Staedtler pigment liner. It’s drawn on a piece of Bristol Graphic Canson 250g/m2 measuring 15 x 21 cm.
I’ve tried to capture the characteristics of the comic. It’s was fun doing. I might do more.
And a detail…
I felt like doing some black and white drawing, so I did a sketch of Meenah to try out her outfit. I like the irregular stripes.
If all generals had their own webcomic with weekly updates this planet would probably be a lot nicer to live on.
I’ve had some fun making my own handpainted T-shirts. So far one for my daughter and one for me. I used pens for a central drawing and then paint to splash all over.
First I sketched with a pencil in a way that I won’t mind if it doesn’t wash away. I then used Giotto Decor textile and Milan textile pens. It’s hard to get a clean sharp line and the felt tip gets looses fibres quite quick. I used Panduro’s Palette to paint with. It’s thick and nice like gouache but I diluted it with water to make it easier to get that Pollock effect. The effect I ended up with was a bleed. It’s really difficult to get it to mix with water. My next project will probably exclude the pens and water and just use the paint as ink.
I wanted to have something nice on my Xperia so I fixed a version of a drawing of Aisha I did some time ago. She’s wearing one of the T-shirt designs I have or had (?) in the shop.
Inked with pens and then digitally colored.
If you like it you can use it too on your phone!

I’m hoping to finish a page soon. It must be over a year now? The reason for not updating is that I have a lot less time now with a soon to be one year old baby and when I finally have had time to draw I haven’t been in the mood for a whole comic page. It almost began to feel like work.
Vetres and Aisha are still at the trader’s place so there’ s not much background to do. So here’s a part of a pencilled panel just to prove that there is progress….
