Oh what a flowy line you have <3 Please give me your sketching-skills?
Aww thanks guys
I'm just glad that people like 'em ;3;
Got page 3 of my comic done :V
Selene (the woman) was the biggest pain in the ass for this. She always gives me hell to draw for some reason >:Y
Hurr I made my own textures again. I used a star brush to tone the sewing box and a decay brush to texture the walls.
Used woodgrain brushes for the chair, table, and window frame
OFFICIAL SITE: http://catcrazy.smackjeeves.com
DEVIANT PIC: http://mokenda.deviantart.com/art/CC-Prologue-Page-3-162650790
For being decayed, the walls look pretty nice.
And that woman really does look hard to do.
Maurine? What'd that frog ever do to her?
I think the perspective is wrong :/ Looks like the table is taken from a very highangled view and the woman is from, front or flat view, hard to explain but hopefully you get my point.
And there is almost no contrast, which I like in black/white comics. Maybe you rely on the brushes too much?
Oh my, I critique too much! Must say that the woman's anatomy is very good, and her HANDS are lovable. Also, I like the way you did her nose.
@Cuddles:

Aww thanks X>
Lol naw, she's calling to her daughter, Maurine

Yeeeah, I think a lot of the reason why the table looks so funky is because I got pissed off at the woodgrain. I couldn't get it how I wanted it so I just left it like that haha.
Mmm I don't know if it's so much that I rely on brushes, seeing as I only used about 5 and all of of them, except for the window in the bg, were for texture. I just like to shade with greyscale a lot :P Maybe I went overboard? idk lol.
Also I've never really done backgrounds before, seeing as I've always hated drawing them. That's part of why I started the comic, to get better with backgrounds and perspectives :>
Uuuh I don't know what you mean by front/flat view :I Sorry ^^;
Aww thanks for the compliments on her. She took forever to get drawn. Her hands kept giving me trouble. Glad you like how they turned out XD
Got the next WIP for that painting I've been working on.
I'm almost done with it ;w;

I'll try and see about getting a HQ shot for the final version :I
Looks like your hard work is paying off. I could never have the patience for anything like that.
That BG must have been hell… And I mean the edges of stuff.
i love this. it's coming out great!
Aww thanks guys.
however I swear to God that I will never do anything like this ever again. I think this one's killed me enough for a lifetime :I
Looks amazing! Paintings are always awesome!
Aww thanks, Alina ;3;
I really need to finish up my digital projects so I can sit down and finish the painting D: (work overloadlolol)
Anywho, here's 2 of what's been slowing me down. One's done, the others WIP
Here's the completed one
Requested by my friend. I haven't seen him since we graduated high school so I couldn't refuse <3
He wanted my interpretation of a chaos griffin. I wanted to try doing it without lines, I have mixed feelings over the result lol
Been working on this as a b-day present for another of my friends. She requested her character, Greg (the horned dude) offering my character Leopold (the pompous looking ass) a muffin.
However Leopold knows by now that you should never accept muffins from Greg.
Ever.
LSD flavored muffins are not Leopold's favorite snack.
Hopefully I can get this finished by tomorrow or the day after. Then I can focus my energy on finishing my 1/2 of my art trade with Gunbunny and hopefully get to finishing the painting XD

Lol that looks awesome so far Moke~ And the painting too! o3o Love all the lil' details!
Aww thanks, Chrissie ;3;
Finished the pic!
Now I can dedicate my time to the art trade with gunbunny! yay!
DO NOT ACCEPT MUFFINS FROM AWESOME HORNED GUYS. THEY ARE LSD FLAVORED.
Greg (awesome horned guy) is my friend
Leopold (pompouss ass) is (c) me
(PS never drawing/coloring poofy neck shit ever again)
Got page 4 finished (finally)
As you can see, toning has reduced considerably.
Explaination here: http://mokenda.deviantart.com/art/CC-Prologue-Page-4-169162924
Also, here's an illustration I did for a guy who wrote a novel. There are others, as well, but they're on my Mom's comp (on my lappy atm) so you'll have to wait haha
Anywho, the guy told me to spread the word on it, so here's a link to it. It's a downloadable book which you can read on your comp. It only costs $10. Get it if you'd like (you'd be supporting me~ ;D)

Got page 5 done. It'll be officially premiering on smackjeeves at 6AM tomorrow.

That girl looks familiar.
Do I know her?
As always, the art is very nice.
How long (in working hours) do these pages take?
Aww the comic is cute
@ Cuddles: Mmm well she is the younger version of the main character of the comic? Maybe that's it? :T
Uuuuh… including the time it takes to sketch it in, usually about 2-6 hours depending on what I'm doing in between lol (has a bad habit of accidentally internet surfing when I'm supposed to be looking up references) :>
@Animesoccer: Aww thanks so much :>
pops head in not sure what that is, but it looks like you scanned a page from a manga, so take that as a compliment. :)
What? Seriously? 8I
Awww thanks so much Captain! ;3;
Sketch dump time! And for once I have One Piece pics~ (although it's only one page worth :I)
One Piece
! Zoro looks wierd :V
Done for my cousin
Cat Crazy
! Random pic of Maurine at the top
Not so random chibis of Maurine, Sam, and Nicholas at the bottom. They're gonna be profile pics for the comic site.
! Lotsa random pics. Includes chibis of Maurine, Leah in a dress, Rio shirtless, Sam smilin, and cat :V
! Uhuhu I got random and stupid here. Nicholas is a bad influence on people lol
And the bottom are pics of Maurine and Sam which came out looking better than I expected 8D
! For a future storyline.
The angel is Maurine's Mom. Yes, I will say it now. She's going to die. She's going to be dead by the end of the prologue :C
! OH SHIT SAM IS PISSED
He can and will prolly kill :V
! Possible antagonist designs. Got any idea for names for them? :>
! For a future storyline. Personally I'm really looking forward to this one. It sucks that it's so far away though D8
! Riooooooo! No that's not a tattoo on his neck. I leave it to your interpretation :V
! Nicholas being grumpy and Maurine posing :B
I just realized we need more OP art in your style because it's so damn SEXY. @_@ Zoro's hot and I rarely find Zoro hot. =U
Cute art for your comic though you just spoiled me….;3; Y IS SHE GUNNA DIE?? She is a purdeh mom... coughs As for the antagonist's names...my ideas:
Catherine or Elisa for the girl with the short hair and cute dress, Eleonore for the ladeh, Caius or Gunther for that gentleman below the lady and for the last guy Sheridon or Raynard. =U
your one eyed people make me think of sanji. lol. i likes your kitty
FFFF you do draw a sexy Zoro, I agree with Chrissie! Your sketches are always so wonderful!

Lol really? I thought Zoro came out looking wierd XD
I sowwy, but it's something I've been planning ever since I thought up the comic ;3; It gets harder with ever page, cuz I like her more and more… only to realize in the end she's gone D;
Ooo~ Chrissie is amazing at choosing names~! I'm coming to you from now on :V
Going with Elisa, Eleonore, Gunther, and Raynard <3
Yay thank you~!
your one eyed people make me think of sanji. lol. i likes your kitty
PFFFF perhaps they are his children :ninja:
Lol I have a bad habit of not drawing both eyes when I get one how I want it and aren't sure if I can do the other one as good. Mom hates that habit of mine XD
Aww thanks. I was actually kinda shocked that I got it right. Especially since I haven't had a cat since I was 4 and haven't been around cats in about 2 months lol
FFFF you do draw a sexy Zoro, I agree with Chrissie! Your sketches are always so wonderful!
I must draw more Zoros for you.
Awwww thanks so much, Neko hug

Awesome work Mokenda.
Reminds me of how I can't work a pencil though, but eh.
I submitted this the other day on PatchTogether and it's been accepted!!!!
And what is this design you ask? Why it is a chibi of Maurine~!
And what is going to be done with this design? If it gets enough votes, it's going to be made into an actual figurine~!!
HOLY SHIT WHUT?!!
That's right! AN. ACTUAL. FIGURINE.
And I'd REALLY appreciate it if you guys would help me out in getting the votes through D:
http://www.patchtogether.com/designs/maurine-3830.html
Click the link and vote for it to be made into a toy!
I think you have to join to vote, but there's 2 advantages to this: 1) You can submit your own stuff 2)It's free~!
Anywho, click the vote numbers 1-5. You have the option of leaving a comment, but you don't have to. You can just click the "confirm vote" button

PLEASE VOTE AND SPREAD THE WORD!!
If you'd like to see the quality of the already produced figurines, please view the 'in-stock' section of the store here. If you'll turn to page 2 you can really see the detail in some of these figures, particularly in the 'Anya' and 'Jonas' figures. (if they weren't out of stock I'd sooooooo buy 'em!!)
I'm still working on the rest of the set (Sam, Nicholas, Rio, and Leah), but I'll post the links to them when they're up for creation too!!!
Got the Sam chibi done. Gonna worry about submitting it to patchtogether.com tomorrow. I'm too frickin tired atm to spend 20 mins resizing images to its likings :V
Also, I have the WIP for the 2nd of the 9 picture set I'm doing for my friend, featuring her character (Felicia) interacting with each of the Straw Hats. She requested Brook for the 2nd in the set :D
Input requested plz<3
Holy shit, I love how you drew Brook! All those minor details, like the curving and bending of the lines that make up his bones, and his hair and even on his clothes! (lol @ the panties) And I like the shading on the first one, but I think you need to take some more risks with shading, like shading from lighter colors to darker colors with hardly and transitionary colors between them.
(dammit ap art, you've found your way into my vocabulary)
Lol is it obvious that I might've spent a little too much time studying skeletal structure over the years? XD (coupled with the fact that I was watching kingdom hospital at the time XB)
Mmm how would you suggest my going about doing that? I've never really tried anything but colors that immediately compliment the base color. Any tips? o_o
(uhuhu welcome to the darkside)
Hey, you draw skeletons better than I do, so I wouldn't be complaining. xD
Just color whatever you feel like coloring. Maybe put a bunch of colors in a hat and randomly pull out some and use the ones you pull out as colors for your next picture? Like, if you get blue, black, and pink or something, you choose black for the hair, pink for the outfit and blue for the eyes. Or Pink for the hair, black for the outfit and blue for the eyes. Or blue for the hair, black for the eyes, and pink for the outfit. There are so many combinations you can use that you don't need to just stick with safe colors (colors that compliment the base).
(second year in ap is all it took)
Lol I'll have to do that for the next chibi. It's an 8 yr old. The color combos for the clothes will be endless XD
Did a sketch for my friend tonight. I submitted it to DA and immediately got 4 favorites, 3 of which from people I don't even know.
Apparantly boob-grabs get favs XD
Remember that character of mine? Gharron? Yeah. I did a genderbent version of him and his lady, Ari.
Why? cuz I can >D
Will probably ink/color eventually. Unless someone wants to ink it for me. eh? eh? lol
I finally got my butt motivated enough to join that page and vote for your cute chibi dear~ 8D
That Brook pic is awesome! 0.0 Love the details on Brook! The panties made me lol :P
I already visited your boob-grab on DA ;D
Yay~! You should submit some awesome magical stuff of your own 3
I need to hurry up and finish Felicia so I can get to bg work and coloring \o/ lineart done!
lolboobgrab
Here's the lineart for the Felicia and Brook pic!
Voting link for Sam is up! Please vote so he can be made into a figure ;3;
