Headband... On head!

I had to remove the fan-jewellery bits on the ends because they kept on slapping my ears. So note for next time, sew them higher up to avoid damage to ears.

Here the headband is on my head anyway! Accompanied by flowers and spun wool.










I'm taking it out today for a spin to see if it actually stays on.


Ending with the must have stupid-face. :P

Looking forward to getting back to drawing tomorrow. Been ill for a few days.

Progress on first headband.

Nominations for The Webcomic List Awards 2010!

Hello!

If you like my online story called Skal, why not nominate it for this year's Webcomic List Awards by clicking here?

Yes, this is some self-promotion going on, but what have I got to lose, eh!? :D

Skal - Page 17.

Special thanks to Matt Gibbs for taking the time to call me and help me sort out some of the dialogue.

This was a very difficult page because I have to show two guards having a sort of conversation as a sort of voice over.
Not sure if I made that clear, or if the dialogue makes sense, but I damn well tried :)

Another sketchie~

Just another sketch to get used to the 'new' character.




and...
A haaaand!


Taken from the Cast section of my comic. :P http://www.jenniegyllblad.com/cast.html

Upcoming character... And some ninjas..!

Here's a sketch of an upcoming character for Skal:
(anyone who played Arelith with me should know who she is ;D)



Linework of three small ninjas for my website commission:

Jen's studio!

Welcome to my workplace!

It changes on a daily basis. :P I have loads of a4 cheap copy paper with rough sketches everywhere (as you can see up on the boards). They spread around the room (and sometimes the house :P) which isn't really appreciated.



A French watercolour storybook, held open by my favourite potato vodka.


Charles Vess' book to the left of my computer. (with some commissioned chibi ninjas... o_O)


Opaque thick medium to the left. Oil and Acrylics. Inks, chinese watercolour and gouache on the right in the little spice-rack thingey. 'Wetbox' on the bottom by the covered up monitor. Basically my set of watercolour that is kept wet at all times, using a pipette.

Mushirah sketch.

Had a sketch break to restore sanity.

... relative sanity.

Portrait commission. Another version.

Because the website I'm doing this for needs the portrait to be in grayscale, I've killed off the blue.
And made a black background.

Portrait commission.

Here's one potential painting for a portrait commission I'm doing.

Skal - Page 16, Tweaky tweak!

I'm having some issues with this.
Not art-wise or anything. Purely technical. When I save the image and check out how large it's gonna appear on the net, it all looks good, but then when I upload it, it shows up as a shrinked and fuzzy version.

Not entirely sure why, but I'll have to fix that very soon.

Anyway. Here's an edited version of the latest Skal page. Digital lettering, but with the same colours as the handwritten.
Also fixed the spacing between the rows.
And made it 50 pixels wider to make the lettering easier to read. Now it won't fit on my blog though. Oops :D

Skal Page 16.

I'm trying out digital lettering for Skal. Not sure what I think yet.
Also, even though I'm linking this image on the blog from the same place I do the image at the comic site, the one at the site seems smaller. Or is that just me?
