Hourly Comics Day 2024

Black and white hourly comics split into panels by hour. 8am, my alarm goes off. I play Pokemon sleep with my spouse. I put on my T-gel, I have tea and breakfast while reading my RSS feed. 9am, I check my emails and make tasks in Notion. I start sketching my NDA work. Max yells “OH FUCK!” I ask “What’s wrong?” Xey respond “We left the brie out!” I say “Oh no!” as we both look at the sad brie. 10am, my narrative director says “Can you make this pose more intense?” I do sketch revisions, the sketch now has a devilish grin. I grin like the sketch saying “Much better!” 11am, sketching more poses for work and listening to Barry play Chrono Trigger! Barry says “Frog!” from my computer.

This year’s Hourlies are in, hot off the press! This is my NINTH time doing it and I really enjoy putting these together every year.

Lots of Pokemon Sleep and Pokemon Go, watching Barry’s VODs to get me through the work day, Tasting History for lunch, Oh No Ross and Carrie in the evening, and I Can’t Sleep before bed. All of these, I highly recommend watching or listening to!

All my previous hourlies can be read right here~

Sketchbook Shoutouts – 41

One image with three black and white inked drawings. The first is Vash from the original anime and Vash from Trigun Stampede looking at one another confused, with “Shoutout for Khiari” under the drawing. The second is two original characters, a man wearing a navy outfit and hat hugging a girl with large wild hair against his chest, both are smiling, text under the drawing reads “Shoutout for Rocket”. The last drawing is another original character, a big burly middle aged man with a greying beard, he’s cleaning a beer glass and wearing an apron that reads “Shoutout for Tabbie”.

Three more shoutouts for my Private Collectors! I’d finished rewatching the original Trigun back in 2022 and boy, it’s so incredible! I’m so glad I got to draw some Vash. I also love drawing folks’ OCs for these requests, it’s so fun seeing how other people make characters.

Every month that someone’s pledged to my Private Collector tier on Patreon, they get an inked request that appears in my monthly sketchbook The request acts as mini commissions and folks can ask for their OCs, my OCs, or any kind of fanart.

January 2024 Lupin Weekly Art Prompts

Rectangular image of a greyscale drawing. Lupin, Jigen, and Goemon are all crammed inside a very small round car. Jigen is angry and saying “Lupin, we gotta take it back!” Lupin replies “No way! I love the pea car.” With Jigen muttering “…more like sardine car.”

Rectangular image of a grey scale drawing. Zenigata is at his desk without his coat or hat, just in a tie and button-up shirt doing paper work. He’s holding a fancy looking fountain pen in his right hand and answering like someone just asked him about it. He says “Oh, my pen? It just showed up on my desk one day. I don’t know the name, but it fits in my hand perfectly and it never skips!” to the right of Zenigata is a narration bubble that reads “Zenigata is unaware that his “every day” pen is actually a Nakaya Tamesukashi, worth $2583.00” under this is a little chibi head of Lupin winking with his tongue out.

I started hosting the weekly art prompts over on lupiniii.club which has been really fun! I’ll post them weekly over there, then make a compilation post to post every where else.

January 15th: The gang gets the wrong rental car

Okay if you haven’t seen the pea car, you need to see the pea car! Also excited to really do all the weekly prompts in a similar way to how I did all my advent calendar ones.

January 22nd: Zenigata’s favourite pen

I went with a fountain pen because, like I said, I’m a big pen nerd! I did some looking in to old Japanese pens. It was tough to pick between Zenigata having a really shitty pen, or a stupid expensive one. In the end I went with this one.

Lupin Canon vs. Headcanon

Large image divided into 12 rectangles. At the top of the image is the text “Draw fanart of a character… template by Tagasaing on twitter. On model/as close to canon as possible. In your style and/or with your headcanons” In the 12 boxes are 12 black and white drawings. The first two are of Lupin, one in his part two style, and the other in my own style. Beside that is a part two Jigen, then Jigen in my style. Under those, show Goemon in his part one style, then my own style. Beside that shows Fujiko in part one and then my style. Under those shows Zenigata in Miyazaki’s style, then my own style. Beside that shows Yata in the part six style, then in my own style.

Saw this template on twitter a while back and had to try my hand at it! It’s very fun style matching, especially since I’m doing that for my day job right now.

I drew my version first then tried to match various Lupin styles that inspire me and put the characters in the same pose/expression.

Give it a try, it’s a fun challenge!

Lord of the Makas

Long panorama style drawing done in pencil crayons, of the cast of Lord of the Rings as Darumakas. They’re all in profile and walking to the left of the drawing showing each personality of the character.

A square image of a drawing, showing Darumaka as the Eye of Sauron, also done in a traditional colouring style.

Had been working on this one for a little while. I’d drawn the Gandalf right before my wrist issues last year and a lot of my personal drawing had been put on pause. A few months ago I felt good enough to come back to it, since I don’t normally colour art traditionally, it took a while but it’s DONE!

I’m really happy with how this turned out. I’m such a big LOTR fan so I had to do a crossover!

Sketchbook Shoutout – 40

One image with three black and white inked drawings. The first is of Jigen as a werewolf from the side with his arms behind his head, text reads “shoutout for frnz”. The second is Jan and Isabelle from the comic Touchdown playfighting over a football, they’re both smiling, text reads “shoutout for TLC”. The last is Mikael and JP from Dead City smiling at a cake that has candles on it, text reads “shoutout for Khiari”.

Three shoutouts for my Private Collector gang, werewolf Jigen is always really fun and folks like my OCs enough to request them?! What a joy!

Every month that someone’s pledged to my Private Collector tier on Patreon, they get an inked request that appears in my monthly sketchbook. The request acts as mini commissions and folks can ask for their OCs, my OCs, or any kind of fanart.

Lupin Advent Calendar 2023 Days 16-24

Black and white drawing of Lupin and Jigen out in the snow. Lupin is sculpting a pair of boobs onto a blank faced snowman. Jigen is poking his head into frame with a scowl saying "Come on..." Above the drawing reads "Lupin Advent Calendar Day 16: Snowman"

The last 9 Advent Calendar drawings I did based on prompts posted over at lupiniii.club and what a fun event that was! It felt a lot like when I’d do inktober every year, which I do kinda miss. So many I’ll do another Advent Calendar for 2024!
