Alice [OC, Kobold Express]

Had some down time while out of town at the Indy 500 so I did some Character Concept Work on my Character Alice on my phone.  Turned out alot better then I expected despite being drawn on a phone and on the go.   This Character is a Concept for my new comic Kobold Express.  She looked a lot different in the earlier versions of her but I’m much more happy with this Iteration.

From Left to Right:  Lyta the Ghostwise Halfling, Risedaelia the Elf, Nissa the Gnome, Neptune the Tiefling, Alayne the Halfling.  

Decided to draw my D&D group!  Our group was forced to change into snake themed clothing and one of the jokes was that it was the sexy clothes from Shantae!  And then the DM  said that’s what the uniforms were so I had to draw it. Lol.   My Character is Alayne Fatrabbit to the right!

You start by starting. Find a reference and try drawing that. When you run into something that you can't figure out Google up a tutorial. Things like hands and feet are a pain but don't stress out if they aren't perfect at 1st. Hell I struggle with those still and I was drawing humans before ponies.

If you need a push try using this as a reverence:

Try redrawing that pose. You can also try to turn it into Human Marigold or Allegro.

Or if you are worried about permissions you can use one of my drawings. Just choose one of the characters and focus on the pose, ignore the complicated clothes.

There are also images with those characters solo in the gallery and sketches in the scraps folder too if you wanna use those as references as well.

Good luck! I'm sure you can do it with enough practice!

Edit

Fixed the 1st link.

I should probably learn to draw humans, but I wouldn't even know where to start.

Hey there. I've been reading the most recents updates of OoWD, and I was curious about Rising Star. At first I was like "We wouldn't Derpy want to see her daughter's father?" And it quickly moved to "Ohhhhhhh!! I see now.." I really gotta ask, (sorry if you already answered it before, you can just link me to it if you prefer) Who's OC is Rising Star? I don't think he's from the show, correct me if I'm wrong

Rising Star is an OC that I made up for the comic.  He is Dinky’s Father and Derpy’s Husband although they are separated.  

You can learn more about Rising Star in this Arc, fair warning it gets a bit dark.

I hope you enjoy it! 

BronyCon: The Loots, Part II

Sure, the con was a month ago, but I’m still fondly thinking about it. Sincerely, it was one of the best times I ever had~

So, here’s the last bit of the loot I purchased at the con, the comic by @outofworkderpy that was sold out by the second day. Also pictured, the playing card that’s an important part of the comic, and the Burger King Pinkie Pie toy, just because she was nearby and she makes me happy~

Mod: I'm following you from Tumblr to Twitter. Are you there?

Yes sorry. Been kinda a rough couple of months for me. I do have a twitter but it is pretty vacant. I might start posting stuff to there and other platforms with all this stuff going on with tumblr just in case tho.

For my patrons,

I know I have had my patron paused for a while now, and due to work and life haven't updated the comic in a while, but I wanted to thank you all, current and previous for supporting me and the comic. Love you all!

Rebloging this to the modblog so i can keep if for reference.

Not trying to put you on the spot or anything but didn’t you use that Halloween comic last year

Yeah I usualy reblog my holiday posts on said holiday. Saidly this year I wasn’t able to do a new halloween update so the old ones will have to do. Sorry.

[christomancer]

Yeah, and I made everyone grone when I sang Emcee's song every time he used a bardic preformance. I worked like a whole 2 minutes on that song, and by gosh I was going to sing it, lol!

I don’t blame you, bards that actually have their own music are the best!

Got to play Emcee once so far, and have leveled him up to level 5 for this weekend's game. It was a lot of fun. Just a lot of confusion when the rogue nearly died 3 times and we had no idea how the dying rules worked even with 3 guys with books out trying to figure things out. Pathfinder 2.0 is really confusing for certain parts, and honestly the book is just oddly organized. Anyway, hope you manage to get a look at it since it is at least an interesting setup.

Glad you had fun! I'll have to check it out!

So I guess it's safe to say that the blog will outlast the show, considering season 9 is supposedly the last one.

Probably. Mainly due to my speed and arcs being longer then anticipated. Just because we are about 1/3 of the way though season 3 doesnt mean im 1/3 of the way though the story of the blog. The current story arc is a long one then there will be at least one more storyarc that is the planned end of the blog. There might be some smaller stuff sprinkled thoughout though. At at the current speed probably well after season 9 though.

[christomancer]

Where in season 3 would you say we are now?

I dont have an exact episode in mind but probably about 1/3 of the way through the seaon.

Yo dude, you see the Pathfinder Version 2 playtest rulebook that Paizo just released on their site? Have an actual paper back version waiting for me this Sunday but decided to download the digital one and wow is it a trip. About half way through making a character for playtesting, his name is Emcee Harmer the Goblin Bard who wears big poofy pants ment for a Gnome and his signature song is Lack The Ability To Grasp Me! It is going to be so much fun playing him! You should check out the playtest!

Sounds like a fun character! I need to check the playtest out. Let me know how its been going!

[christomancer]

I kind of doubt it, but are there any plans for a Dinky/Rainy Days rematch?

You will have to wait and see! If things go as planned Rainy Days will make a return.

I guess now I have to ask: How much time has passed in the universe of the blog? Because it's been going for 4 years, and while it's only been updating weekly (at least when you've been able to update it regularly, since IRL stuff can sometimes cause delays), that's still a LOT of posts.

I thought I answered this awhile ago. Sorry for the long delay. Despite how long the story has been going, it still takes place during season 3 of mlp. The plan is by the time the blog ends it will be the end of season 3.
