Demon Sisters

They reeeaalllyy hate each other. Like a lot.

When compared to humans, the one on the right is THE DEMON, but compared to other demons, she is more like a tiny little angry gremlin. I find that dynamic fun, and is probably why she can relate to humans more than her own kind. Also the pentagram tattoos are now canonically how my demon race shows pacts with other beings. The more powerful you are the more pacts you can handle. Also the more popular of a demon you are, the more likely you're to have multiple.

I'm also glad people weighed in on the color palettes, because I would have never thought of a lot of this if people didn't support my doodles, so THANK YOU if you did!!! ( ; v ; ) 👍

Longer Version: I have been sorta doodling this demon character on and off for about a year. She will most likely be getting some sort of comic in the near future. If anyone has checked out my sketch blog (@finntheartist-sketchbook), you would have seen her before. During the summer I was experimenting with color palettes, and threw some options out to friends/followers for feedback:

These 3 ended up being the most popular. The whole point of her character/story, is to reluctantly assume the role of big sister/guardian to a human kid who summons her. Because she isn't the most powerful demon, until she can be unbound to the summoning circle, she is stuck to him. She tries to get out through demonic loop holes, but ends up realizing the reason he summoned her was just because he wanted someone to talk to. She realizes how neglectful his situation is, and it stirs something inside her, so she sticks around to look after the kid. She is supposed to be a standard demon who by all means should NEVER be ANYONE'S role model. The whole point was to have her be the classic asshole, stuck-up, edgy demon, and then show how that is not only wrong, but literally the opposite of who she is. But because people really loved the more traditional colored succubus (pink/white) palette, it got me thinking... Now she has a sister (one who genetically avoided goat legs, the actual nerve). I imagine that while it would be fun to have the older sister be sweet (as a twist), I think I'm going to go with the idea that in private, she is the biggest asshole ever. It really adds a lot of value for the gremlin one to have her color palette now. I don't know what I'm going to do with the most popular one (the blue one). Maybe she looks like that when she is upset? Or maybe I'll just store it in my back pocket. If anyone has any ideas for these two, feel free to toss them over!!

I am excited to share part 2 tomorrow U-U

A Spooky Client (1/2)

Happy Halloween!

Here ends the Comicween 2024 Challenge!

Here is @finntheart1st and my Comic for the challenge. As recap the challenge was to create a comic during the month of October, the theme was scary stories and haunted houses.

This comic was one hell of an adventure to make and it's still not quite done yet aha so that's why part 1 is coming out today and part 2 tomorrow >:OO. Really cutting it close tonight Q-Q. Come back tomorrow to see how this adventure ends :DD.

FAKE GAME IDEA (would love ideas!!!)

(04-07) Bowling Brawl:

So I had this brainrot idea for a bowling game.

It would combine the standard bowling experience, mixed with special moves and abilities that are unique to every character in the game. The better they bowl, the more energy they get. And you can then use that energy to do combo moves that earn you a whole new type of score based on style points. Both your style points, and your bowling score combine into your overall score. So some brawlers are really good at bowling, and some awful at it, but have really cool moves to make up for it. And they all battle it out in verses battles, to determine who is the best bowler to have ever lived. It was really just an excuse to make a bunch of over the top bowling characters. Here are some of the ones I came up with:

(PLAYER 1)

She's a pretty solid bowler, but she's too cocky for her own good. She spends to much time talking shit, then putting that energy into bowling the ball. (PLAYER 2)

Dude does not know what he is doing. He's probably doing that thing other athletes do where you change your sport mid-career. He knows a lot of trickshots, but a bowling ball is not a basketball. Honestly whoever told him he should change careers, should change careers. (PLAYER 3)

They look like they don't care at all. But that couldn't be more wrong. Ever since [THE ACCIDENT], they've been training in underground bowling rings to take down the fiercest of bowling opponents. Now they're here to take you down too. Their moves might not be the flashiest, but they didn't get the nickname SNIPER for nothing. With pinpoint precision they will out-bowl you in power and accuracy any day of the week. (PLAYER 4)

Is..that a..cat? Are we really letting a cat into this prestigious bowling tournament...? Apparently he has the strongest throws out of any of the bowlers here, but his technique is so bad that his bowling ball ends up in the walls or ceiling, as much as it does the bowling lanes. An associate asked him if he wanted us to pull up the gutter rails, but he got offended and swiftly clawed his eyes out. When asked for comment about his chances of winning, he said "HELL YEA!!" then threw a bowling ball towards a little girl celebrating a birthday party with her family. 🎳💥🧍‍♀️

I would seriously love to see other peoples designs for their own bowling champions to join the roster. If you do PLEASE TAG/@ ME!!! I would love to see them!! >:3 If you also have any ideas for this game concept, I'd love to hear them too!!!

🎃 COMICWEEN 2024!!! 🎃

I participated in a little challenge my friend @the-bog-boy came up with last year. She wanted to do it again, but this time it's public!! Instead of stuff like Inktober, this challenge is designed to be the opposite vibe. All you have is one prompt for the whole month. It would really mean a lot to me if other people gave this challenge a shot. If not, then that's okay too. I'm actually gonna be teaming up with her to make a collab comic for the challenge, and I can't wait to show everyone what we got in store!! I'll draw fanart for anyone who submits a comic that is more than 2 pages!! >:) Oh, and we post on Halloween!!! If anyone does do this challenge, please tag it with: #Comicween2024

🎃 Comicween Update (3 DAYS LEFT!!!) 🎃

I really wanted to post updates along the way of this month, but this month has actually been really hectic. I did wanna post something to maybe inspire some last minute entries. This is basically a callout to any aspiring comic artists out there. ESPECIALLY to the ones who have never made a comic before. Comicween in case you don't know, is one of those October challenges. Except instead of making a bunch of illustrations every day, you make a single comic for the whole month. All you have to do is follow the prompts theme, and make whatever size comic you want. The prompt for this year was (Haunted House/Scary Stories).

Backstory/Update:

We really liked the haunted house angle, so we started to spitball. The premise me and @unhinged-bug went with was the bottom one.

(these might be too grand of ideas for the last 48 hours, but you are welcome to steal anything from our idea document HERE.) I was really inspired by @radiomaru (Bryan Lee O'Malley) and an old 2012 tumblr post he wrote about how he went about writing/making comics. This is where I mention that I've always wanted to make comics, but having had a lot of self doubt and trauma, I would always get stuck on the idea phase. Let alone actually trying to go through a comic process. In enters a really cool person @unhinged-bug who has for the year or two of knowing her, been pumping out comic after comic. I don't know about you, but to see someone just do the thing you want to do. It's really inspiring. And to get back to Comicween, she was the originator. She did it all by herself last year, and out of our tiny group of art friends, was the only one to finish a comic. Which you can read HERE. I never finished myself, but I managed to get over my own hangups enough to make a single page, VERY inspired by the first page layout of Scott Pilgrim.

A lot of the reasons I was afraid was due to feeling like I didn't know what I was doing + feeling like no one would care. And that's what Comicween was actually all about. It's just comic making at it's chillest and craziest. Just make a comic to make a comic. No pressure. Just a comic challenge to share with other comic artists. Less like Inktober, more like Scott McCloud. Which brings us back to this year. I could show you the brainstorm:

or the script. Or I could go into lengths about the story-boarding process.

But I'm actually not. It is as the time of writing this October 28th 2024 (11:08pm). I still have tons of work to finish the collab submission between me and @unhinged-bug. I'm tired, nervous, and scared that we won't finish. But i'm also learning so much, and having so much fun. I have grown more as a comic artist in this single month than my entire 24 years of being alive. This post was really for me to throw out into the void a call of arms to any comic/wannabe comic artists who have an hour or two to kill for the last 48 hours of Comicween. Especially if you've never made a comic before, and even if it's a mess. Don't be like me and hold yourself back from making cool shit. I would love to see what comics anyone comes up with. Even if it's 1 page. Anyone that makes a 2 page comic will get special fanart from me. Let's have fun and suffer together this Halloween >:) 🎃🎃🎃

One Page Comic (I)

I’ve been dabbling with one pages comics, in which i try to show either a full story or a glimpse at a potential story. This one was fun to make, as you can kinda read it twice.

i would love people to tell me where they think it should go/what they would do!!

(feel free to expand below for the full story)

CONTEXT:

In the past there used to be an incredible and fair boxer. She rose quickly in the ranks and crushed opponents stronger/bigger than her with charisma and skill. Unfortunately as time went on, she started to gain enemies. The boxing syndicate disliked the fact she wouldn’t throw matches. They were losing tons of revenue because of her, and sought to get rid of her.

Eventually the syndicate funded a boxing robot that could easily outbox any human boxer, and set up a title match with the champ. And even though the robot broke all kinds of rules, in which the champ could easily have had the match thrown out, she did not. She wanted to prove stunts like this robot couldn’t beat human skill and passion. Unfortunately during the match, the robot began to learn her moves and increase its deadly force, and she was not only knocked out, but died from heart trauma to the chest on the final hit.

Decades later, boxing has fundamentally changed. When the champ died, so did boxing as we knew it. And so when on a field trip to the invention museum (roll with me) a little fuckhead cat is told the tale of the former champs defeat, getting to see both her boxing gloves and the robot/its remote on display. He gets really upset seeing how cool she was until the end, and how unfair the match was, and when no one is looking steals the remote and runs towards the time machine exhibit. He turns it on (it is literally a rusty time machine wannabe, but it somehow works for the first time ever) and teleports to before the match.

The champ asks him what does he want, in which he panics and tries to explain that he’s from the future, and the match is going to end poorly. He shows her the remote and says she can use it to turn off the robot, but she just smiles and pushes the remote away. She explains she doesn’t want to win by cheating like how they are. And that if she gives it her all and loses she won’t have any regrets. She thanks him though for caring about her, and says she wishes more of the boxing world was like him.

She then walks down the hallway towards the fight.

(what happens next is unknown. What would you do if you were the cat?)

I was really sad that my old drawing tablet kicked the bucket, but it's replacement tablet just arrived. It has 4x the amount of sensitivity, and tilt control. I really didn't know if that was going to matter all that much but.. HOLY SHIT, it really does. For anyone curious my new tablet is a Huion HS610. But yea dude, I didn't think an extra 6000+ pressure was really going to be this game changing. I literally spent yesterday like a HERMIT until 4am doodling until my hand cramps forced me to stop. I would explain my process exactly, but i'm still figuring it out. One thing i've been enjoying a lot though is using weird textures, and using different layer masks to warp and corrupt certain parts of an illustration. Anyways, please don't eat me alive. I am new to Tumblr
