Storytime – Drawing Comics

by Janeil_H | Sep 27, 2018 | 2018, Art, Comics, Storytime

I’ve been drawing for quite a long time. I sadly can’t say I’ve been drawing for most of my entire life, but it’s safe to say I’ve been drawing for 1/3rd if not more of it.

As described in my previous story about deviantART, my art skills didn’t really take off until I had access to the platform. A couple of years before that I had taken a short three-week special course at Walters State in a summer drawing class. That helped up my skills a whole bunch over my pre-teen drawings. It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t terrible, either.

13th Doctor – Doctor Who Birthday Gift

by Janeil_H | Sep 26, 2018 | 2018, Art, Fanart

Something I threw together for a Facebook friend, as today is their birthday. Originally it was just going to be the cake, but while on a tangent I decided to just draw the new Doctor in a more retro outfit. I’ve never really watched or seen the new Doctor Who series after Matt Smith, and this is how I envisioned the new Doctor to be in a way. A sort of clean and trim Victorian kind of style. I did retain a version of her jacket, though.

Friday Night Doodle – Benthessia’s Hug

by Janeil_H | Sep 15, 2018 | 2018, Art

This was something I cooked up on Friday night. This is Benthessia, the protagonist’s new girlfriend from my Todd Squad Delta webcomic that I post on r/AntiMLM. I wanted to show her with a more softer and less stoic look, versus her regular appearance. Originally it was just going to be the figure, but it turned into a piece with a background and such.

I think I need to spend more time on Friday night drawing.

A Guide to Elite: Dangerous Ships – Part 1

by Janeil_H | Sep 12, 2018 | 2018, Art, Comics

This was something I cooked up upon a person I’ve known from an Elite: Dangerous group called my Type-10 a space turtle. While this was nothing new, she had previous described other ships with varying names. I decided that this finally needed to be put down for posterity, along with sharing to the entire world.

This did get posted on Reddit with almost 1,000 upvotes and 25,000 views. Suffice to say it was well received. In fact, commenters wanted a Part 2. Looks like I have my work cut out for me.

Comic – Asp Safety Blanket

by Janeil_H | Sep 7, 2018 | 2018, Art, Comics

With the whole Gnosis snafu that happened, there were quite a number of unhappy pilots. More notably a good chunk of explorers were parked there, most equipped with unarmed Asp Explorers (no weapons = lighter weight = bigger jump range). Thanks to a very priceless comment in one Reddit post, this comic was the result of that.

Hats off to you, poor AspX explorers. Let’s hope the odds are in your favor the next time.

Sanae & Scafflebun – Creepy Parts of Reddit

by Janeil_H | Aug 31, 2018 | 2018, Art

This was something I did for Scafflebun off of Reddit again, and posted over to r/touhou. I was in a good mood Friday and rather than just a rough sketch, actually derailed into a semi-full piece with this. I’m glad he enjoyed this!

Twitter Art – Kizuna A.I. – “NO CARL”

by Janeil_H | Aug 11, 2018 | 2018, Art, Comics

This is something I had doodled on Twitter awhile back. During one of Kizuna A.I’s video playthroughs of Detroit: Become Human, she had firmly declared “NO CARL” in English when her character was asked a question. Of course my mind went in a different direction and saw this instead. Sue my imagination for seeing Ai-chan actually pushing someone in a wheelchair around. >.>;;

Mobius PVE – Gimme My Stickers

by Janeil_H | Jul 31, 2018 | 2018, Art, Comics

Now and then we have contests in the Mobius PVE group. Most of these revolve around cartography data, finding griefers and even art contests. This recent one was for who posted the most amount of genuine content, which would result in being in the top ten contributors in the Facebook group.

The ten lucky boffins got picked, but I got special mention for the comics of the group! So when filling out the form to get my sticker packs, I had to upload “photo proof” of why I qualified for stickers. I got snarky instead, composing this instead of a screenshot.

I love Elite: Dangerous, I really do. But it’s a shame the only “fighter-like” ship is an Eagle or the things you launch. Even then, it wasn’t to my liking. So I doctored mine a bit. External missile points, a WW2 paint scheme and even a refueling probe on the nose.

Let’s hope the stickers get here soon.

Comic – But it’s Empoooowering!

by Janeil_H | Jul 23, 2018 | 2018, Art, Comics

This was something I had done for the r/AntiMLM subreddit several months ago. It’s safe to this piece jumpstarted my current comic trajectory; after getting the feedback I did, I delved more into drawing for people such as Twitter requests, the Todd Anti-MLM comic among other things. I think it was a big change for me, and I’m happy it opened up other stuff for me to do.

On the Road – NYC 2018

by Janeil_H | Jul 23, 2018 | 2018, Art, Social Updates

I’m heading out to NYC for awhile, and definitely plan to snag you some interesting photos if not stories for you guys. In my absence, enjoy this piece in the meantime. I’ve always joked about sticking someone with older-fashioned clothes in a car for a road trip, so I’m glad to finally properly get this illustrated.
