This right here is sheer horror. A monstrous volcanic eruption nearly engulfs the otter brothers, when, of course, their huge lion buddy, Vince, saves them! Slowly, this comic’s coming together, methinks.
Fun fact: During volcanic eruptions, plumes of ash and smoke can generate electric charges, causing literal lightning strikes. Truly a sight to behold!
Working a drawing from sketch to colored in picture can be a tad time-consuming. Right after you finish the drawing, then you’ve gotta trace all the pencil lines in Illustrator. It’s a lot of work! But, the end result makes it worth it.
In this scene of this comic in progress, after the otters end up in the jungle, the otters find their somewhat grumpy pal, Billy! He’s a big help when going into deep lakes like this one.
Now, kindly fantasize about riding on humongous monster hippos!
Okay, back from a long break from posting my artwork online, finally! It was a nice vacation.
I’ve been missing my beloved shark for a while, too. I’m still quite proud of how he came out. Surprised it’s been a year since I finished making him!
I’ll probably make another massive shark doll at some point in the future, especially after I learn how to sew.
Ever wonder what causes big windstorms or wildfires to spread out of control? You’ve got Wendy the giant wolf to thank for that. Her wind powers are truly unmatched!
As a fun fact, I took inspiration from the Big, Bad Wolf in The Three Little Pigs story when I came up with her.
Finally, we start to get to the waterfalls far off to the left side of the picture!
So, whenever I paint rocks, cliffs, etc, I tend to add yellow or red paint and mix them with blue paint before painting them black. This way, I can get the dark grayish or brownish color of soil and rocks. Works every time!
Another scene in the comic I’m working on (I’ll have to create a separate page for this project). Aiming to speed up their travel through the cold, unforgiving polar ice caps, the otters and Melvin slide down a magical Aurora Borealis stream!
I promise that, when this picture’s colored in, it’ll make a heck of a lot more sense.
Finally, we detail the water some more, add some fog, etc.
One of the most gratifying things about being an artist is seeing a challenging picture finally start to take shape.
And, boy, is this a challenging picture.
Finally, I start adding the first details to the lake that these fish are in. This picture is coming together quite nicely, I’d say.
