Free Comic Book Day-- PSA

Hey everyone! I hope everyone had a fun free comic book day and made sure to pack water and take a very light bag. Cause I did not.

I know last week was very sparse, so expect to see plenty of new art this week and the cover for Slug At Work, Chapter 2! Plus more Blackwell deception, and hopefully a new speed draw

2017 Review Illustration: Pony Power!

Y'know what I realized? That I never posted the final drawing from the 2017 review!

I honestly wasn't planning to post anything today, until I found this thing while doing some site updates

Introducing the pony versions of Wonder Woman, Wingblade from transformers, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur from Marvel, Mae from Into The Woods and Rey from Star Wars

Happy New Year 2018

Happy January 1st everyone!  Here's to a new year and thanks for your support!

Christmas Card 2017!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, all that Jazz!

I don't usually make a Christmas card, but this year, at the last minute, I decided to do it. And by last minute, I mean, literally 3 nights ago.

Whatever you celebrate, I hope it's a merry time for you all, and a Happy New Year!

Sincerely,
Tegan Dumpleton aka The Sluglady!

Blackwell Convergence Title Card

And here's a close up of the title card for my Blackwell Convergence Letsplay. I gotta say, I am really proud of this one. It's been a while since I've done a full illustration and it feels SO GOOD to get back in the saddle. And I really wanted to do something different. This is the third Blackwell titlecard I've done, so I wanted to do something more dynamic and detailed this time. Speaking of which....

 Here's the image without the logos. I put a lot of detail into the Countess' face, even though I planned to cover it up with my logo.

(The Blackwell Logo Assets are not mine)

I'M GOING TO BE AT THE ART WALK!! And sketches!

Earlier this week I showed you guys this picture from a secret project.

I am pleased to announce that that secret project is THE EDMONTON ART WALK.

Every year, Edmonton's Whyte Avenue becomes art central, with artists selling and making art all down the street! And this year, I'm gonna be one of them.

So what does this mean for updates?

I'm still getting use to my work hours, but with me working on stuff for the Artwalk, you should be seeing regular art updates. Now, both of these projects are going to take up a lot of time. Heck, just getting a few things worked out in the last two weeks was so insane, I couldn't work on fixing Slug At Work.

But I won't be selling comics at the Artwalk, which means I'm definitely going to attempt to make comics at the same time so I don't get withdrawal or something! I don't know how, and I'm going to be extremely busy, but I'll do what I can to make it work!

Basically, updates are irregular from now till the ArtWalk

Oh yeah, I promised sketches for you guys, right?

Well, I'll be honestly, these aren't the greatest sketches, because I was drawing super light and running out of pages,(i have now turn the book upside down and drawing on the back pages) but heres a few rough sketches for now

And the one nice sketch!

So you can see a bit of a theme going on. Sharks and Slugs. That's still not final, I've got mermaids and betta fish paintings on the way too and possibly some other things.

That's all for now guys

Wish me luck. Cause its going to be and interesting two months!

Great White Flight

I know I said I was going to post some WIPs, but instead you get a finished piece, one of many future ones to come. I'll wait a little longer to tell you guys what my secret project is. Though i will post some sketches on thursday. But enjoy what is, well, the first acrylic painting I've done in YEARS. Feels good!

Night In the Woods Title Card

And here's the close up of the Night In The Woods title card. The only assets on this that don't belong to me are the logo and the leaves

SlugLady Sketchlog Intro Lineart

 So I realized that I never posted the final images for some of my speed draws! So here's the first!

The final lineart for SlugLady's Sketchlog Intro. You can watch the speed draw here 

And the version with the logo!

Speed Draw: Night In The Woods TitleCard

New speed draw is up! Today I draw the titlecard for my Night In The Woods letsplay!

Sketchlog Art TimeLapse

Hey guys! Friday Timelapses are back! The new one isn't ready just yet so I'm posting one that's been on the back burner for a while! The linework from this post: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWZswddZ1yA



Yes it is long but honestly this drawing did take AGES to do. It was my first big picture I had done since getting my new, more powerful computer. I spent a lot of time testing out different techniques and linework ideas. Not to mention drawing some characters I've never tried before, like Swerve. Nice thing about have 2 computers is that the second one can show me my reference while I'm recording

Blackwell Legacy Title Card

Hey guys! Here's a closeup of the titlecard for the new letsplay I'm doing! The Blackwell Legacy! Hit the link here to see it or the Youtube button above!

This is the new logo design for my letsplay stuff. I decided that Click Draw just didn't fit with the rest of my er... marketing.

EDIT: tweaked a few things and fixed Rosa's collar

Sketchlog 2.0 titlecard

Hey guys! I just realized I never posted a close up of the new Sketchlog title card. This is going to be my title card for video reviews. Like I said in the intro video, the review itself will be pretty typical, but with an art time lapse in the background. These are going to vary from large, rendered pieces, to small sketches. (Hopefully to sell as prints or buttons!)

I'm currently working on the Patreon page. Should have something up in February for that!

Older Art part 1- Zanni Drago Dragons

Hey guys! Things have been a little slow on the sites while I've been busy with non art things. But as I've been going through the art on my computer,  I found some art from my school days that I still really like. So I figured, why not post it? Up first is the dragons from an old story concept called Zanni Drago

Slug At Work Extra: New Computer

New image is up at Slug At Work! No new page today cause I've got myself a new computer to work on!

Transformers and Halloween Countdown Titlecard

Title card for the Transformers review. Most of it was done in pen and pencil, with color and gradient overlays. I tried to mimic the cover of the movie, but decided to keep the background very simple. Usually when I do a title card, I only use my traditional pencil textures and use Photoshop to add color. Here I combined more Photoshop brushes. Honestly I still like the pencil texture the best, but it was an interesting experiment

And this one... this title card I made a few years ago, right before going on that long hiatus. It was for the original Halloween project I was working on but had to stop. Getting the different textures with my pencil was a lot of fun.

Happy Wonder Woman Day!

Whew made it before midnight! 

I've been sick all day, so I'm really REALLY happy I got this done in time. Based on the original golden age Wonder Woman. And this is just a preliminary drawing. Not only am I going to redraw the image on better paper and dazzle it up, I purposely made it very simple to use as an experimenting image. Something to test inking and coloring techniques without too much fuss.

HAPPY WONDER WOMAN DAY!

Lira of the Scorpions

So... honestly there's not much I can say without spoilers. All I can really say is that this girl has been through hell and back, but she has small friends that are willing to help her.

Not completely happy with the proportions. But as a concept image, I like it. Lira is a character that I find hard to draw as a child because she's very adult... and has very thick eyebrows.

When I get to writing her story, I'll probably draw it again, but with actual reference. And context.

My Reaction to Random Stuff

New article up! This time, I let off some steam by giving my reactions to random stuff. 

Also premier of a slightly new style I'm trying out.

Happy Canada Day! Color

Here it is! The colored version of my Canada Day illustration! I ended up decided to post it today, and use one color per person. The other would have had... a lot of brown and black grouped together. I blame the suits.

Anywho, lets see what we have here...Starting from the top:

Nelvana of the Frozen North is flying across the sky with he banner, while Shatner holds on for dear life. Video Games Awesome is getting ready to play some Wii, after watching a mini concert by Ed Robertson of the BareNaked Ladies. In the back, Optimus Primal and Gordon is enjoying the festivities, while Riley Rossmo is wondering what's going on in the corner. Jack Layton, Frank and Kurt Wiebe are gawking at Wolverine, who is being caught red handed by Svetlana Chmakova. Captain Canuck is trying to pretend he doesn't know Wolverine. Bob and John A. Macdonald are having a little chat while a certain sneaky slug serves Tim Hortons. Nathan Fillion and Ryan Reynolds are doing a Green Lantern Fist Bump. And Arkada, a young Emily Carr and David Suzuki are enjoying the refreshments.

I love fanart.

Okay, that's it for now! Next week I've have a few new sketches up, and the rest of the week will be site updating/organizing. Now I'm off to some festivities!
