Anonymous asked: Hello I hate to be so annoying buuut, I was wondering did you do the most recent picture with tardis on the computer or was it traditional? What kind of brushes do you use it looks fabulous! Have you ever made any progress shots or tutorials?

That’s alright- I learn from other artists’ tutorials too, so I’d love to share! All finished artworks that I put on tumblr are done digitally (so far at least…) in Adobe Photoshop with a tablet/wacom (wacom bamboo specifically). Brushes you can see here.
Progress shots:

I didn’t plan to make any tutorial from this piece, so I have to screencap it backwards and somehow it looks way more simpler than when I made the actual comic from scratch. lmao.
1. Sketch. In the gif the sketch is already refined. Usually i ‘doodle’ on paper when i have an idea, then remake it in photoshop.
2. For this piece I made the panel first then put everything else (line art, base colors, shading, etc) inside it by adding layers on top of the panel layer and made it as a clipping mask. like this:
 
3. The first thing I do when I color is putting flat colors/base colors on main characters
4. Add in details on main characters (like shadows and blushes) and start putting down flat colors for the background.
5. More details in the background (shadows, reflections, etc). (I kept adding layers. Each panels for this piece have 15+ layers)
6. Textuuuureeeeeesss.
7. Speech balloons and text-

Ahahahahaha that’s how I do my art. This strip took me days (a couple of weeks even, I think) to finish. I’m still learning how to do this more efficiently so I bet there’s another way that is less cluttered than this ( ; ^ ; ) uhuuu
Tip: name your layers if you have lots of them hahaha. And I usually make copies of simpler psd files with some of the layers merged together so my computer could work faster.

That’s all!
I hope that helps and you can understand what I’m trying to say hahaha PARDON ANY GRAMMATICAL ERRORS SOBS ; ^ ;

I tried to play Doctor Who: Worlds in Time for the first time last night and this happened a few hours after that. The space bg was fun to paint! :’D

Sometimes I think I need to join fangirls (fanatics?) anonymous.
Oh, here’s the bigger pic of the doctor:

A wedding commission I did a month ago for my friend’s brother. It was printed on an A1 canvas (my biggest commission yet!).
They’re wearing a traditional Javanese wedding costume. I went to their wedding and met this local public figure/comedian and I lost my shit hahaha-

p.s. Hello new followers! Thank you so much for your kind messages! I’m sorry if I haven’t replied to your messages, here’s a strip from Octopus Pie by Meredith Gran (you should read this awesome webcomic btw) to explain my lack of communication skill:
 

IT’S MASSIVE. « click it.

Ohmygoooddddd. This strip took me forever to finish and I still think this could be better. Background? Perspective? C-c-coloring? Whaaattt #died. Oh. Plus. The tiny bits and blobs on the tardis console… DED. I can’t do this anymore! This strip is done. DONE.

I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. Another Doctor Who strip because I just have a lot of feelings toward this series. BEAR WITH ME.
About the strip: I bet exploring the TARDIS is an adventure itself!
Just in case people can’t figure out what’s what in the drawings (i know i know it’s all weird and wonky looking ; ^ ; ):
1. Random tardis hallway-!
2. Library!
3. The infamous pool in the library!
4. This one is entirely my fault. I imagine since Gallifrey is no more, the Doctor would keep this ‘botanic garden/green house’ inside the tardis to remember his home planet. Hence the silver trees and red grass… I read somewhere the rocks of the mountains are purple and gold, so I used that to color the ground too… and the tree trunk.
5. Some sort of tardis observation deck with glass roof/glass everything. I know I’d cry every time I take a look at the ~*+universe+*~
6. Back to the main control room-

That’s all I guess…
GOOD GOD DOCTOR. Just pick me up already!!!

Nationality! and stuff.

just… some… angst-y stuff I’m too embarrassed to share… ajghsjgfakgf
Sorry anon! I can assure you it’s not important- weeehhh

Nov 6 doodle dump! it’s really big.
Made during breaks throughout this past week.
I always imagine the Doctor as this wise grandfather figure. Mostly because he’s old and he knows a lot, had seen a lot, and I never had a grandfather. That’s why I often doodle myself ‘talking’ with the Doctor. Lots of feelings. Plus there’s Cas doodles in this… So go ahead, add more feelings.

p.s. I wish english were my first language. ugh!

Wonky 10 with extra angst on the side. 

Here’s a drawing of über-tasty food.
A bowl of soupy mee sua and a bowlish-plate (lmao what?) of mee goreng from my favorite restaurant in Singapore called ‘Asian House’. They also serve one of the best ice milk teas that I approve of. ASIAN HOUSE I MISS YOU ; ^ ;
