Tistow's main website has been updated! We're only missing the Cast page now.
I've added all Patreon related illustrations as well as some extra ones under the Stuff page. Patreon's got that nifty tags function now that allows you to view specific art on our page,...

I've been rereading through my books about Victorian clothing for both men and women. The amount of layers and effort they put into everything is amazing.
Here are couple of different layers for our two main ladies. I didn't want Anna to end up looking like a pauper next to Morrie, as the girls ar...

Lotsa trolls! Bestefar's so much fun to draw.

Plus Morrie. Who's not a member of the family but she's here as a comparison to Anna.
Mrs. Goodwill is a little old lady who likes to stare out of windows and stick her nose into people's business. Blessed with old age, she's literally from another century and people find her hard to understand at...

Some concept art for the second chapter of Small Trolls! :3 Fans of Year In Hereafter are familiar with these other characters we'll introduce here, though they appear in slightly different names.
There's little Veeti on the left. (We're taking a little look to what happened two years before ...
Here are thumbnail sketches for pages 37-40~
Now, in case you are new to how we work on things, I'll give a brief explanation of what happens:
This is the "thumbnailing stage" (we sometimes use blue tone sketches instead of these which you might've stumbled upon if you'...

First three pages of Odie (without dialogue this time) just for our Patrons!
Odie is a Kickstarter funded oneshot written by Aaron Sullivan that you might've seen us bang a drum about last month while the campaign was ongoing.
Elli's thumbnailing and inking and Karo is responsible for ...

A little bit of a different wallpaper download this time. I personally love this catch phrase and it's kind of why 75% of YIH's maincast is long haired I suppose...
For now... (Not foreshadowing at all)
If this is the one for you, then enjoy! :3

Here's the next page Karo's working to colour! We've finally got trolls. ♥

Even once in a blue moon Karo puts that little bit of nightly hours activity into good use and actually draws concept art of buildings! :3
This was a request from Elli for Tistow's concept collection.
Oh, and I have to say that I'm amazed that we're getting near to that 30 patrons. When we...
More concept stuff! Jack's little room this time. Whether or not he keeps the bedframes yet, not sure. It's a cheap and simple place after all.
2017-05-16 22:22:00 +0000 UTC View Post
Opp, exactly like the title says, potentially the first two pages for Tistow's new beginning. Whether they'll stay like this or not I couldn't tell you, nothing's set in stone. But I'll enjoy drawing those crowds for sure.
If you want to read a bit further, you can find the script draft for these ...

Free for all to view! After a day at the A&E in Maidstone we're going to postpone updating on the website tonight. The page will go up in colours as soon as Karo's better.

Step by step version of the support wallpaper.
Jack's right hand caused such a massive amount of headaches. Karo was kind to lend me a hand and created the frame for me. It's likely we'll be using it for chapter cover purposes in the future too.

Tistow one this time!

We promised you some trolls last week. Rough illustrations over Karo's sketches. Next up will be the inked version of this!

If you've had a chance to read the script draft for Tistow's first chapter, you'll know there's been a mention of some urchins already. This little fella is one of the two. You'll recognise him from the old story too!
We decided against aging him (backwards) as we quite like the character as he is...

Morrie's turn! She only really got a mention on in the old story but she'll be making a proper appearance in the upcoming 1st chapter.
Known as Miss Fallow, she works at The Anchor as a waitress and later on becomes a sexworker for a reputable house. She also acts as a fence for the urchins.

I had a huge amount of these back in the day but all of the sketches are so terribly old now, I figured it'd be fun to redo some of them.
And it definitely was, so here's some of the main man-child, Jack. He's supposed to be around 20 in these, bit younger, healthier and not so hooked up on booze ...

Couple of panels from random pages from the Kickstarter comic we're working on! Odie was successfully funded and even reached one stretch goal.
We'll be working hard this to bring all the pages to life before the end of May. Other than the pages Elli's got a bunch of sketch covers to work on as we...

Hulloo!
So. Here is the demo I was working on for the 3 months. Not gonna say much, obviously there are things that could be bettered and (hopefully not too many) bugs might occur. But so far it's been a pretty rock solid little thing! This wee plaything won't be worked further, as it was sim...
