I just found your comic today and holy crap Nickelodeon should be hiring you
Also quick question, do you have tips for lineart? I know the general rules of thicker lines for borders and stuff you want people to focus on, but I can never get it to look organic. Your lines are literally the kind I’m shooting for lol
Anyway keep cooking 🫡
I always suffer my way through lineart lol. It is my least favourite part of the creative process, but I'll try my best to show how I do it o7.
For this comic in particular, I have been trying to keep the lineart a thin and consistent (ish) weight. The lines are thicker and darker where the shadows lie or wherever the character's weight falls.
When mimicking the Rise cartoon I follow the animation style of having solid closed lines. My personal line style has more gaps between lines. I enjoy how both look tbh
The thicker borders start to happen once depth comes into play. Objects closer to the "camera" have thicker borders and more details within that border. Objects further away get thinner lines with fewer details.
I don't have it down to a perfect science and it's bound to change the more I do comics, but I hope this was helpful!

Raph may have pulled Leo from his textbooks and forced him into bed, but that doesn’t mean he’s staying there.

Sometimes sad cat wizards deserve to get swept off their feet by their narrative foils.
Many, many thanks to both @flappingduster-scribbles and @aboxthecolourofheartache for helping me un-weird the anatomy. Why did I need to un-weird the anatomy? Well, let's look at the reference below the cut...
Leyendecker painted a gorgeous little picture here! But if you look closely, you might notice that the gal in this painting has...no mouth. Also, no nose. She and the dude are just lamprey'd together at the face. It's pleasing and totally works in the reference (which is a crop of a larger painting), but it just looked really, really weird in my painting. So, I had figure out how to give Caleb back half his face, making a lot of stops in the uncanny valley along the way.
Here's the initial sketch! Essek's hair was a fun challenge.
And a bonus: Essek might seem pretty tall in this picture, but if you zoom out...
They make it work.
