Sketchbook Shoutout – 1

This year on Patreon I’ve been doing shoutout requests every month. How it works is every month a $10 patron can DM me with a small request, it can be Mikael and JP, the patron’s OC, fanart of other fictional characters, etc. Then I’ll draw it up and it’ll appear in my sketchbook pdf for them for that month. It’s been a lot of fun to see what people will ask me to draw and brings me out of my comfort zone a little.

There are a few things I’ll refuse. I won’t draw any gore, nsfw, homophobia, certain characters of mine that I’m more personal about (ask me if you’re unsure), and I will not draw myself.

Lupin One-shot: A Confession

Black and white comic page. Panel one shows Zenigata looking to the left with a pained expression while Yata is happily behind him saying "Looks like they got away again, Sempai. I don't know how he keeps slipping out from your fingers like that." Panel two, Zenigata looks down so we can't see his eyes and he adjusts his tie as he says "Alright Yata, you win. I admit it--" Panel three, a profile shot of Zenigata's serious face as he says "I'm in love with Lupin." Panel four, we zoom back out to him looking at a flustered Yata saying "But it has nothing to do with this case and you know it." Panel five, we have moved to the inside of their car as Zenigata pulls his hat over his face and says "Just drive me back to the presinct." and Yata looks tense.

Black and white comic. Panel one, Yata is still in the car behind the wheel and Zenigata is out and leaning in to talk to him through the window. Zeniagata says "Now go home Yata, you were on the stakeout almost as long as I was." While Yata averts his gaze from Zenigata and says "Yessir." nervously. Panel two, Yata is touching his own cheek and looks at Zenigata as he enters the building. Panel three, the hand touching his cheek pulls off the latex mask with a RIIIIIP. Panel four, we see Lupin sitting in the car completely surprised and blushing as he holds the mask tightly in his right hand and against the wheel of the car. Panel five, Lupin leans his head down on the steering wheel, the blush reaching his ears as he frustratingly says "Damnit Pops, how am I supposed to respond to that?" to himself.
Michelle wrote this one after we’d brainstormed the idea a bit together! I like the idea that Yata’s been trying to get him to confess for a long time now. Yata seems like the teasing type if they’d actually give him a personality like in Prison of the Past. I also like it when Lupin has no idea what to do in a situation. Especially if it comes to someone else’s feelings. He’s not a feelings guy.

Clip Studio Test! It’s here for android finally!

Just got CSP (which I’ve never used before) for my S6 yesterday and I’ve been having a good time testing it out – although I have this really strange glitch that happens on every art program I try with my Staedtler stylus where I lose pressure sensitivity every few lines while in landscape mode. I have no idea what causes it or why it happens! So now I usually just draw in portrait.

Lupin One-shot: Steak & Wine

This was a comic I did for the Lupin zine “Gunpowder and Perfume”. This was one of the first comics I actually tried really hard to write properly by myself.
I’m not really a writer. I’ve been drawing comics with Michelle for over six years and that works super well for me!
I know I did Gender Slices myself but I don’t really count that as ‘writing’. It was messy and drawn more on the fly. Most of the time I wouldn’t even thumbnail it.
So this comic that I did last year was my first proper attempt at writing something myself. 
This was also before my style changed and before I really got a good handle on these characters, but I’m really proud of it regardless! 
I do have my bigger Lupin comic that I’ve been working on that I’ve written and I’m working on the art for it now so I hope y’all are excited for that one ’cause I think my writing has really improved lately.
Sometimes all it takes is a little practice!
