Pride Month 2026 Art Challenge: Comic Crafting Day 4
It's Day 4 already! Argh, I am so slow! XD I'm now in Krita doing the
thumbnails. Or at least trying to lol. I got my template page done with the
guides for margins and stuff.
I still don't really know what to draw. I've fleshed out the story more, but I'm
drawing a blank as to how to composition the panels and stuff. Man, making
comics is hard lol :P
I'm winging everything. I saw Hiro Mashima's (Fairy Tail) YouTube vid,
How to Plan and Draw the Manga Storyboard.
I'm hoping this'll help me lol XD
Hopefully I'll be able to add a rough draft image here later. :P
And here's the rough storyboard for page 1. Crappy, but hey it's a start lol XD

Pride Month 2026 Art Challenge: Comic Crafting Day 3
Day 3! Finalizing the dialogue... or at least that's what I'm supposed to be doing lol XD Most of my time was spent trying to figure out shortcuts in Krita.
At the moment, I can do sketches in it. Hopefully when I go to making the panels, I'll be faster. The comic is going to be super rough lol :P I still have to figure out how to use the comic tools.

Rough comic draft with dialogue (not final):
PANEL (FLASHBACK)
SETTING: Zulf's Juice Bar.
ZULF: Hey, Arus. I got word of a Milknub plant in the southern jungle. Go bring me its fruit. Just give it a sweet offering when you approach, and you'll be fine.
ARUS (BEAMING): Sure thing, boss! Hmm, a sweet offering? I am so on it!
---
Or something like that haha :P
Well, I've got to go back and finish it. Till the next update!

Pride Month 2026 Art Challenge: Comic Crafting Day 2
Comic Crafting Day 2!
Today is all about prepping stuff. Figure out which apps to use, choosing the
comic page measurements, character outfit designs... because since I always draw
Arus naked, he doesn't actually have an outfit! XD
After researching, I'm settling on
Krita. I've only tinkered with
it before, but now it has some built-in comic tools that look nice. I'm messing
around with it as I'm writing this lol :P
I've also been viewing/reading through some comic making resources. I did
Sauna Slumber
ages ago, and I feel like I need to brush up on a LOT of things. Even a short
comic needs a serviceable story!
Speaking of story, here's the outline for my comic:
- Zulf tasks Arus with harvesting a Milknub, a tricky plant that never grows in the same place.
- Arus searches the general area where the plant was last sighted.
- The cheeky monkey finds it, and tries to get the Milknub fruit.
- Complications happen and Arus gets totally milked-out by the plant!
- Fortuitously, the plant leaves behind its fruit after the intense (and pleasurable) ordeal.
- Upon his return, Arus shares his first Milknub experience, which Zulf finds hilarious.
