After a year of posting weekly comic strip on my social media, I wanted to film the making of the episode 53 published on the 20 May and build with all the 20 hours of video a tutorial on how to achieve this type of comic strip using Krita, from A to Z! Chapter: 00:00 intro 00:49 Scenario 08:29 Panels 25:41 Speechbubbles 37:59 Layout 40:43 Sketch 44:37 Drawing / Inking 53:45 Coloring 58:03 outro This tutorial has longer chapter on the new comic panel tool (in 5.3) and explains a full setup on how to use it, even for more complex comic pages, and also I spend time on the creation of speechbubbles, text (also new features of 5.3) and consideration regarding the layout and composition. The fundamental stone of getting a comic easy to read! However, the inking and coloring chapter are a bit more lightweight, mainly because I already have many video on my channel about painting, shading, and line-art with Krita and I wanted to keep the video lenght under one hour. I'll certainly make more video about those specific workflow step later! I hope you'll like the video, the first one I record and video edit on Wayland (and it wasn't a challenge at all; everything worked just as expected).

I feel like I may be a latecomer to Obsidian, but I am here to sing its praises. I have been using it for my most recent campaigns, as an information manager to organize all the campaign elements, and it has been fantastic. A game changer for me. Using it has allowed me to keep all my NPCs, locations, ideas, etc, organized and accessible while I am prepping my sessions and running my game. Let’s talk about it.  Prepping Your Game In Obsidian Last year, Josh wrote a great intro article to Obsidian using it for prep: here.

The Beholder Fidget Clicker was a fun little project that I hope brings a giggle to someone. I've never been terribly good at sculpting faces and I thought a happy little beholder would make a great opportunity to practice. The large central eye houses a standard keyboard switch for a satisfying clicky-time.
