08-07 A fine mess

hollyqk post 08-07 A fine mess from patreon

I know this cat has been a bit full of itself since its appearance, but you'd still expect it to try to be a better guest.

That background in the middle panel has appeared in a previous WIP snapshot on Patreon. I talked about how it took a while because I scavenged around for reference in o...

08-06 What about Momo?

hollyqk post 08-06 What about Momo? from patreon

This page was a bit of a turning point in the art—specifically, the way the cat is drawn in that bottom-left panel prompted me to go back and edit all the previous cat drawings to match it. Naturally, it also directly what the cat would look like in all the pages that would follow. The cat up u...

Momo's strange adventure continues...

As she ventures into a familiar scene, the presence of her new feline companion is enough to make it seem like a different world entirely.

ch. 08 WIP: Better grounds

hollyqk post ch. 08 WIP: Better grounds from patreon

This page was mostly finished, except the backgrounds were pretty ugly. In contrast, I'd been reading some manga that had good backgrounds that caught my eye just recently, so I went back to it and referenced it to find out how to make things a bit nicer. Next is working on drawing buildings by h...

hollyqk post 08-01 Momo and the nameless cat from patreon

[Chapter cover including pages 02 and 03!]

Usual morning.

It's chapter 8! As with I think all the previous chapters, I tried yet more new things in this one, this time mostly related to inking and screen tone usage. You'll find that there are less tones now, which I think help allevia...

hollyqk post 07-32 Just beginning from patreon

It's the end of chapter 7! That's seven whole chapters of WisteriA, or 84 pages, or 10 months of updates. It's time to start organizing the first printed volume. (<= may or may not be a real plan)

The main cast is assembled now. By main cast, I mean the four main characters that I had pl...

It's also a cat festival.

I knew I was setting myself for a bunch of hard-to-draw things by writing this story, but it's good practice in the end. Great!

I think chapter 8 will be a bit shorter than chapter 7. Say ~16 pages, or two months of posting to reach completion. Initially I ha...

hollyqk post 07-30 Budding from patreon

Did you know? Wisteria bloom in mid to late spring, just as summer is about to take over. It takes a fair bit of work to get them to blossom, and even then, it takes several years before new roots can produce flowers at all.

When they do, it's a sight to behold, fully worth the time it take...

It's a work in completion!

It's already started publishing, as you might know, though I only really finished off the very last of it today. I'll be writing/drawing chapter 8 from now on, starting with storyboards, as usual. Great!

hollyqk post 07-24 Love the challenge from patreon

This ties back with chapters 3 and 4, a two-part story arc that dealt with Momo's thoughts regarding the direction she wanted to take her own art. The learning experience never really ended... and now she gets to share it with someone, too.

At page 24, there's only 8 more pages until chapte...

Yes, that is a photo of the sky that I happened to take and decided to use for this page. It looks better than any clouds I could do by hand with tones, in any case.

Fun fact: today on 7/23 publishes chapter 7, page 23! Only for the Patreon's early access...

I think it's a common factor for a lot of people deciding on taking up things... Maybe not directly, but if there's concern regarding appearances while undertaking something new or worries about how it'll look to others, to an extent it's a matter of people's expectations and our conforming to wh...

A perhaps unexpectedly anxious Azalea appears...

I was reading some manga lately and realized that there's so much you can do with panel layouts, so I was like... yeah, let's just try whatever. Awesome!

Are those birds a little big? Oh well.

Sometimes an Azalea can't help but be a little sweaty.

Especially when she has business with a Momo...?
