On the DEWLine 2.0: Dwight Williams

Following up a bit on local comics creators and suchlike.

One friendly acquaintance of mine from the long-dissolved Orléans Comic Jam sessions, Dominic Bercier, has a Kickstarter fundraiser/project going at the moment. Timing might be tight for you if you're interested, I understand that...

Anyway, here's the link.

Of course, I haven't really rested today. The following things got done today:

- vacuumed two floors of the house
- picked out stars to host a half-dozen or so planets on that Edge of Midnight map project
- did two walking/shopping trips mainly for exercise
- practiced a bit more for Clip Studio Paint via the Cintiq tablet/monitor
- uploaded a scan of a sketch I drew for my Amateur Press Alliance back in 2006 to various social media outlets for the sake of self-promotion and because of Batman Day
- cleaned up some of my kitchen mess
- applied for another job
- cleaned my CPAP gear, as I need to do each weekend
- wrote a note of comment to the Ottawa Board of Health about protection measures against SARS-CoV-2 and other contagions of note and worry

I'd like to get a new "office/studio" chair, but barring some surprise via trashnothing.com, that's probably not going to happen soon. The one I use currently leans a bit to my right because of years of my leaning to that side when I sit down in it. Also, it deflates an inch after a certain amount of time sitting down.

Artists: have any of you heard of such a thing?

Good evening, everyone.

Digital artists: you've all found yourselves gravitating to specific brushes in whatever programs you use, haven't you.

Some of those WIP sketches in Clip Studio Paint I mentioned yesterday:




If the image files don't display properly - which has happened with files I've uploaded to Google Photos before - please let me know ASAP?

I finally drew things again tonight after supper. It's been weeks-to-months since I did that, either pencil/ink on paper or digitally. I need to get back to that. More often, more regularly.

The cold snap is over. Now we'll be back to bouncing back and forth across the freezing point.

More specifically, I'm looking for something like this:

I've already given up on the idea of getting a sketch finished per day...and I still want to try for addressing every item in the Inktober prompt list for this year anyway.

Sketch # 2 - "Scurry"

This was the first thought I had for it.

I needed to review these links:

https://inktober.com/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jake_Parker#Inktober

So, I can't claim to be participating fully, as I'm working digitally rather than with actual pens, fountain, cartridge, marker, ball-point and so on. I can and do claim this year's daily prompts as an inspiration to resume regular practice for self-improvement.

I'm going to have to amend my postings on Twitter and Facebook accordingly. Later today.

Meanwhile:

I have to wonder, given this context re: Clip Studio Paint...

Yes, Krita exists as an option and so does Affinity Photo...but I bought CSP for specific reasons of comics design suitability. So did many others.
