I've been taking a few steps away from the comic I've been working on since last year to try and hone my skills in the digital art realm a little better.  Been having a great time doing it, and have also been coming up with new ideas and characters that I hope to implement in other comics.

A while ago a submitted a picture to NG for a halloween competition.  It was my first submission using Manga Studio, and I've really grown attached to the character since then.  So I'm working on a new piece featuring her in a more fleshed out environment in the hopes that it kickstarts some ideas for these other comics.

Here's a snippet of the new piece (no background just yet)

I'll post more as the progress continues.  I've been using a lot of reference material for this piece and will be crediting those other artists (from hairdressers to urban photographers) as more updates follow.  Now that I have some more free time coming my way, the updates should be pretty frequent.

Laters.
