I'll tag my posts related to my isekai comic plans as #volpeonIsekai . This time I'll plan it all properly by writing the plot down, creating storyboards, the whole thing.
I could copy the pinned post from the old account, but it isn't Winter and my mood is much better, so that would feel a bit weird.
The reason I created this account was to talk about topics I'd like to keep out of my main account. This does also include more personal ones, but it can be anything that simply doesn't feel like it belongs there. That's why I call this a "bonus account" rather than a "personal alt" and why I won't restrict followers. I want to allow people to find my posts and read them without my approval.
One thing I explicitly try to post about here every once in a while are topics related to my desire to be an animal. I felt this way for my whole life, and so of course it's a significant part of who I am today. I want to talk about my identity and my self exploration using characters and art, and I also want to share my views to related topics openly and honestly. As those of you who followed my old account know, my views don't necessarily agree with those propagated in online spaces related to therianthropy etc, but I will never try to force them on others.
My biggest point of struggle is the chest floof shading. Nothing causes me as much trouble as this because it easily looks weird. The new pose in the second panel allows me to keep it solid, but not the first one.
My progress is still very slow on the comic as a whole because I treat each panel like a proper drawing. But that's okay. Practice will make me become faster and until then it's a matter of patience.
I'm compensating the additional mouth detail by leaving the teeth unshaded. Otherwise I'd have to draw the head more detailed than I'd like (to avoid the "artist's barely-disguised fetish" effect).
I still have to port the yawning drawing, which is scary because Affinity inserts raster images as soon as a single "incompatible" feature is used. This even includes the "erase" layer blend mode which V2 has. So yeah.
Still worth it because I noticed V2 runs faster and there are no worries about workflow-breaking updates.
