News (23/4/2015) + Patreon

Some good news for you and me:

My tablet is back. The technical department of Wacom was super quick, so I can work on the comic again.
My patreon is open! If you want to support me, now is the time!
I dealt with registrations, certificates and the tax office today. And now I am supposed to do the paperwork every month so I changed my patreon to the month patronage. I will be drawing pictures every day and I will submit comic pages any time they are done. I haven’t been making many comic pages because of my school and my work last months, but I move slowly, but steadily forwards and I can promise the daily doodles.

If you don’t know how patreon work – it is a service that helps you support your favourite artist in a form of donations – per month or per work. You can donate as much as you want and there are certain gifts for each level of patronage.
If you decide to support me, you would be rewarded with pictures of my super charming cat every week:

These pictures are rewards for all the patrons. If you decide to donate more than 3$ you will get WIPs and sketches of my pictures. Donators of 5$ or more will see line arts and WIPs of comic pages.

For a 10$ donation you can get a chibi of your character:

For 15$ you will be rewarded by a sketch of your character:

For 30$ is a reward colored sketch of your character:

For 40$ is a digital full figure of your character:

And for 50$ is a digital portrait of your character:

Does it sound promising? Take a look at my patron page: http://www.patreon.com/lysandra

…I know, the cat is the best reward of all. Here is another one:

And if you want to be sure, that I really WILL be drawing daily, take a look at my daily doodles archive since 2013: http://elfpluscats.tumblr.com/archive/

Weekly news (16/3/2015)

16/03/2015 Lys 2 Comments

Weekly news in almost a week, what a surprise.

I am on the mend. Last two months were pretty terrible both work and personal stuff. Finally today I finished the project which was killing me and now I should have more free time.

There is my to-do-list:

1) relax
2) catch up with my school
3) interact with people (and answer all the emails Q__Q)
4) draw more comic pages

Sounds promising, right?

I hope that no new disaster comes into my way.

Here are new images from the last week:

A gift for Aiffe and Kavos-pls

I need to scan and process properly these two images.

A gift for Stinohra

I have bought Clip studio paint. What a wonderful software. All the images below were drawn in it. I am still figuring things out, but it works for me!

Dalmayr and his daughter Sennah.

A realised that I don’t have any STRONG female hero. So I made one.

(Please don’t get it wrong, I have many wonderful female characters, but none of them is power fantasy strong.
I couldn’t miss the fun... so this one is now~)

And here is the last one. Mortifer is lost again.

Weekly news after a month?! (17/2/2015)

I am sorry… But there will be a lot of pictures.

The main question is: Where is the damn comic page? It has been a month since I published the last one.

Well… I finished half of it, it is a really long one. But then the exam period at my school happened and it didn’t go as smooth as I wished for. What I learned this semester is, that no matter how unimportant the class may be, if the teacher wishes, she can make the hell out of your life. (Come on, just 1 credit, we usually get 3-4 credits for passing a class.) But that’s what happened. I made it, but most of my classmates are still struggeling with it. Unfortunatelly my energy for interacting with people and creating has been drained and I´ve been having troubles with drawing recently. (And avoiding social contact, sorry, I will be available again, when I get my energy back.)

And what is bad – the next semester is starting this week. But I will try to finish the comic page as soon as I can.

That’s about the news and now the pictures I made during the last month:

Oronae

I was experimenting and kind of hate the result.

Mortifer loves reading!

Totally random elves

Two attemps of a style change.

Another Dalmayr!

Arnay, once again.

This one was a gift :-3

These three were mostly random practice.

Mortifer deserved a little relaxation with a wine.

Another poor looking Niathan.

And chibi time! …with badgers.

Another attemp for a style change.

Well the style change turned out to be pretty good. I haven’t drawn with a pencil for a while, so I really enjoy it.

The pencil lineart together with flat colors and tons and tons of filters didn’t end up as I expected, but, oh, well, I can’t have everything.

And two really quickly done images. (Too tired to do something detailed and good.)

So, that’s all, thanks for reading!

Happy new year 2015 everybody!

I am sorry about the month delay of the comic. My work has been killing me – last two months were horrible and there is still no end to it. But is used the free time the holidays gave me and here we go:

Since I had no time for “proper” art like comics, I tried to sketch and practice anatomy and composition in the meantime.And I guess it worked – at least for my confidence. After a long time this is a comic page I am satisfied with.

Speaking about practice, here are my sketches from last weeks:

My teacher, I had a notebook in the lesson and… it came out… looking like a serial killer. But the teacher is really nice. Erm.

Nothing to say about these pictures. They are totally random.

Elharin. My bad mouthing baby. Poor half elf kid living in Capitol. I guess that he has no chance to make it into the comic, but I guess that he was unforgettable for my RP players.

More or less random pictures again. I wanted to practice coloring gray layer with another layer set to overlay. It came out better than I expected.

This bastard is my favourite. Expect stories about Niathan in the future.

This red haired thing was supposed to be someone… but I can´t remember now. Whatever.

Oh yeah. Vampire Faerlin. I guess that he will make it into more pictures… He´s enjoying the damnation and bestiality. A melodramatic idiot.

More lineart practice.

Not happy with this one. I hope that I will get my coloring skill back one day. I used to color way better then I do now and I lost the skill. The moral story is – when you want to draw “like a pro”, never take a longer pause from it – or never do just one technique. (Before someone comes with “but your coloring is good” I just leave this and this here…)

That´s it. More compilations in 2015! I wish you a good New Year´s Eve party!
