10/02/25 ~ CROSS for @BlueStigma A monochromatic commission of the robot OC C.R.O.S.S. (or Cross.) Drawn in bright blues with her signature red scarf, she poses dramatically with stars from her fingers, and a design highlight on her chassis. Polished and very smartly built, she was a delight to bring to the page!

@crybringer's Commissions all start with sketch breakdowns of the OC's key details. Often times, the difference in style, or unique features needs study and/or re-fitting to see how the process will go -- or find difficult parts in advance. Robots and machines are a long-time favorite, so a lot of crunchy details get extra attention.

The most crucial part; posing and composition. Sometimes, a pose is already in-mind as soon as the OC reference comes through. Other times, an idea needs fleshing out. The customer is always free and encouraged to not just choose an option, but suggest alternates or combinations.

The rough draft is the make-or-break moment of the commission process. Customers get a preview of what to expect; yours-truly gets to iron out all the details, changes and head-off any mistakes. With a good draft, the labor of cleanup and colors is as streamlined as possible.

Here's a look at what you get with my #commissions process, featuring the awesome OC "Cross" from bluestigma.bsky.social!

TILDE + MARIGOLD <3 A picture of Tilde (left), a sweet-looking flower-seller and the witch Marigold, singing her praises. Sketched in full color, Tilde is brown-skinned with a flower & clover in her afro, wearing a tabard, shorts and sandals. Marigold is a head & a half taller in dark violet cross-ties made into a dress, along with a shawl and even more flower hair-decorations. A sweet pair for a Sunday evening!

#Denebtober extra!
Not the best Sunday, but Tilde & Marigold make it better.
Just look at them!

DENEB RIBBON [Leader of the Deneb Coven] An page full of sketches of Ribbon, a scarred but-never-scared young witch. Shameless, silly, sexy & severe -- no one ever has to guess what's on her mind.

My secondary hot take is that you need to decide if you like making comics for money, attention, or for yourself - because all of those are wildly different metrics of success and two of them don’t require you to financially set fire to your life (for at least 10 years)

THE DENEB COVEN (March 13th, 2019) A faux fish-eye lens picture of the three Deneb sisters; Deneb, Ribbon & Marigold (in dark purple) and their trusted friend Tilde (in green.) Deneb (far left) strikes a sassy pose! Ribbon (middle left) backtalks her ridiculous sister (and her familiar Shudders shoots a glare too...) Tilde (middle right) gets her wife's attention. Marigold (far right) wonders what all the noise is about? On a stone path among grass & flowers, the witch sister's robust shapes and showy outfits stand out amid the misty-colored scenery.

Scan of a typed letter from 1970, from Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, addressed to "Joel Lipton, 622 N. Foothill Road, Beverly Hills, Calif. 90210" It reads: "Dear Joel: I think it is more difficult these days to define what makes a good citizen than it has ever been before. Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy. Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call "American Virtues" who lack this faith in our country. I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities. Sincerely yours, Charles M. Schulz" At bottom is an illustration of Charlie Brown and Snoopy, a kite wrapped around the dog house.

Written 55 years ago, Schulz's heartfelt clarity cuts through the noise, even today.

I will stand by Monks with Ninja Two Swords skill every time. Velius solo boss? Done, 1st try. Ramza double-punched him back to hell in the name of justice.

"Wiiitchmooot tiiiiime!!1!" A monochrome (green) sketch of the very tall, very busy and curvy witch Marigold, heralding a witchmoot. Waving a knife in her left hand, she shakes her flower-tangled hair and tasseled shawl, yelling for bonfires, questionable potables and magic rites with salacious outfits -- even more than the cross-tied dress she has on. Mari even yells at the wandering magician Targe in the background! Is he invited or is that an order??

It's #Denebtober too, in case you didn't know.
MARIGOLD IS MAKING SURE YOU DO!
