Here are the study sketches I made over the past couple weeks from the references I generated. This was a really fun exercise, and I’m really happy with how they turned out π I definitely won’t be changing my style itself any time soon, but this was great practice for future projects and pieces.
This has been a productive week. I’ve taken the 400 something AI images I’ve generated and have been breaking down the style and adapting the techniques and correcting the Machine-Mistakes. This has honestly been a great exercise. AI images are not a substitute for real art, it doesn’t actually know what it’s drawing or how to draw it. Instead of using AI art as a crutch, let’s use it as a tool to strengthen and inform our own learning.
Don’t let the machine think for you. π€―
Anyways! I’ll be doing some digital studies next to see if I can pull some rendering and color tips from the mass of absorbed AI learning. Steal back the stolen art and absorb the AI’s ill-gotten power. π€

(Doing a piece in pen and ink was super fun. πβ¨ Let me know if you’d like to see more stuff like this )
First digital illustration of 2024. (Outside of comics of course) I’m excited to see the progress I make this year. I’m optimistic that, with some adjustments, I’ll be able to update Timepiece more often during this semester. Plus I hope to post more art content as well.π
Let me know what you think and if there’s anything you’d like to see from me! π
Timepiece Episode 8: Meet The Catrovans Pt 1 is up on Webtoons and TimepieceComic.com
Phew! Glad this episode is finally done. (And just in time for College to collapse back on top of meπ ) I’m optimistic that I’ll be able to put in at least some time towards Timepiece episodes during the semester, but still expect a couple of months π.
But feel free to let me know what you think of the story so far! Please share it with your friends, I’ve really appreciated hearing from those who have, and every little bit helps more people find the comic.
Background colors are now done for Timepiece Episode 8. All that’s left is Rendering and Lettering. I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to get the episode finished before next week. π
