#birch barker: practiced paranormal investigator

Somehow this was made in MsPaint, literally one layer. Would this qualify as pixel art?

From Act 3 of The Snake That Never Sinned...

So have had the urge to go back into my old art recently. This is a slightly modified design but tried to keep it as close as possible. If you can't tell this is one of the earliest models of Birch's design. I am still really proud of how far she has come as a character but also in her design. The cloak she is wearing is actually something that gives her the ability to see the supernatural.

Page 3 of The Paranormal Pages, from the world of my Birch Barker Series. I'm really proud of Shaliver's poses, and also of improving how text is presented in my art. Also Lou is always this strong, he just wears lots of baggy clothes normally.

My art for my latest reel on instagram...

I wanted to take some inspiration from Carles Dalmau recently. If you don't know he worked on Cult of the Lamb. So I made this illustration based on some of his work. The closest to the style I got was the angles and visual story telling in the background. Despite that I'm still proud with how it turned out and am excited redoing this later for practice. I'm hoping to improve upon this in the future, specifically in this piece.

The original was made 2 years ago from today, my art powers have evolved. Jokes aside though I've recently wanted to redo this piece. It has always been a favorite of mine and now I will love it even more.

For starters, the posing feels much more natural in my latest one. The anatomy in the older one has the head be off from where it should be. Also the glowing goop on her doesn't glow as it should. And the perspective on things like the pizza, camcorder and slushie are off. There are some of those elements taken out of this recent version but I love it regardless. Life has me busy so once it has settled again I'll try to get on Act 2 of The Sinless Snake. Thank you for your patience and enjoy my work.

The Snake that Never Sinned (Act 1) is officially out. Birch is helping an old acquaintance find a new home in Fatemore. I'm working on the art for the second Act now and will publish once they are done. If you checked out the Paranormal Pages on Tapas/Webtoons you would have seen him cameo.

(Accidently posted it on my other account, it's here now.)

Made an updated version of one of my comic pages, annoyed me every time I saw it. There are both tapas/webtoon versions but the best quality will be on Tumblr. It is also really cool to see where I've improved since then.

Recently experimented with my line-art style after the horror comic covers. Very happy with the results of the redraws. I will try to implement this in future images. Also did some more watercolor-ish style for the shade\light. Really liking the rough look that it.

Here are the originals...

Title :)

Just going to make a post to ensure this account is active. Just working on other things. Including the next addition to to the Birch Barker Series.

Birch's Nightmare By Avinoctic (Based on The Nightmare by Henry Fuseli)

Wanted to do some digital painting practice so decided to make this. Character are based off my series, Birch Barker: Practiced Paranormal Investigator. Check out my main account for links and art from the series itself.

[casual-avinoctic]

This is a webcomic series of one page or more short stories taking place in the world of Birch Barker. This comic is based off my novel, Birch Barker: Practiced Paranormal Investigator. As stated before the short stories are within the series, but will feature moments not shown in the novel. This could be considered a slice of life in that way. Anyway if you like the characters then check out the novel on Tapas which also includes are of mine. Reading this will make your day better. #Birch Barker: The Paranormal Pages #webcomic #WEBTOON

First page for Birch Barker: The Paranormal Pages...

Again this isn't a overarching story comic but more on the episodic side. With each 1 or 2 pages there will be very short stories with character from my Birch Barker series. The novel is on Tapas and the comic will be on both Tapas and Webtoons.

Just the cover for the comic series taking place in the world of Birch Barker. It will be called Birch Barker: The Paranormal Pages. There is no overarching story, just characters living their lives in the city of Fatemore. Consider it something to try before checking out the novel if you haven't.

Will be done between installments of the novel, coming out this Friday!

Made this for an instagram reel but it came out blury on there. So decided to upload it here as a consolation. Pretty happy with out it turned out.

Here's the two images that came before it, you can probably guess which format it is. A hint, it has to do with a whistle.
