I draw the comic (mostly in traditional media), write a few of the characters, and do a lot of the editing in later chapters.

We're currently on a between-chapter break as I get ready to start posting Chapter 19.

Promo graphic for #MeetTheWebcomic. 
Text reads: Tamuran. Genres: Epic fantasy, adventure with heart. 
The story of a cursed kingdom and the motley assortment of outcasts, shapeshifters, and monsters who (against all odds and any stretch of reason) may be its last hope. 
www.tamurancomic.com 
Image is a watercolor illustration of two characters poised for a fight in front of a mossy stone wall carved with knotwork in the shape of a tree. A tall, brown-skinned man with long braided black hair and glasses wields two knives. He wears a loose white shirt under a green vest and looks warily determined. In front of him, a pale elf with long, white-streaked red hair, tattoos around one eye, and a heavy blue-trimmed tan cloak nervously fits an arrow to a bowstring.

Thank you, that's good to hear. I wasn't sure if it was better try to describe the image as objectively as possible, or how much to include of tone and intent. And I'm glad to have input from someone who can see the thing I'm trying to describe but also makes practical use of the description πŸ’š

Watercolor painting of a huge dragon skeleton still perched in vigil above the ruins of a crumbling temple carved into a stone cliff, deep in a forest. A staircase corridor winds up and around the cliff, and plant life and old dead vines creep across the facade. Glowing magic lights still hover along the path and in the tumbled stone ruins below. The colors of the painting fade from bright yellow in the sky, down through bright greens and blues to purple at the bottom.

I don't think I posted this here. Watercolor on Arches paper for a zine on death and decay

In my novel setting, dragons are living geographical features, sort-of deities, and conduits for magic, anchoring the spirit world to the material. This is not from those stories, but maybe it should be…

#webcomic day you say?

Here's a teeny look at my process!
I draft traditionally and scan the image into my computer. From there I use #CSP to digitally ink/color/shade/texture my pages!

I can have as few as four layers and as many as 25 layers depending upon how I'm handling elements!

Step by step process of how I draw my webcomic Aster and the Fire, from sketch to final rendering. The jump from the flats to rendering is quite frankly ridiculous.

Our rough draft is a chat log to begin with, and the formal "script" drafts get done in Scrivener, too, but notes on the process and concept sketches go on paper πŸ™Œ
