Duskbirds #31 | “Stardust”
This one shows Elsium instead of the usual Duskbirds (you can tell by the horns and leaf tail!)

One of my "duskbirds" chasing a wisp.
Rough 2d frame animation to practice some basics - only a test and not intended to be finished. Learned a lot with this one that I want to apply to my next attempt, which I DO hope to be more finished. :D

Managed to mostly finish the layouts for Duskbirds vol 1 & 2 yesterday (text and deciding how to organize the comics took the most time) - hoping I can bang out all the art edits today
Here's one I just reformatted (vol 2). #15, from 2023 - things seem the same or worse now, eh

Had a few conversations this month where "The Endless Forest" came up, which reminded me of this older artwork - it's two of my duskbirds drawn in an Endless Forest-inspired way, with the symbols on the forehead and halo
Does anyone remember that game? Did you play it?

Many thanks to @mellific.bsky.social for this photo and including Duskbirds alongside so many wonderful zines!

Thinking about Duskbirds, I consider The Harbinger's Path my "first" comic, as it's the first I was able to draw in that more traditional comic page style. (Duskbirds is a comic strip or "gag" comic)
I've wondered how much practicing with my Duskbirds "side-project sketch-comic" helped w/ Harbinger

Potential cover mock-ups for volume 2 - I like how it gives me an excuse to use this illustration of Elsium. I've always enjoyed how distressed he looks in it, haha. It seems to fit Volume 2's theme.
Volume 1 is "lighthearted comics"

I have a few of Duskbirds Vol. 2 left, and if I reprint Vol. 1 in the future, they'll be added to this new "Printed Comics" gallery that's now up (Duskbirds zines are toward the bottom)
The page has info about what's in each book, how they were printed, dimensions, etc.!

Look at those birds! I can't not laugh at them
Initially planned only on the blue shrimp, as I'd been looking for an amusing card holder. Found the birds later, and friends went, "It's on-theme for Duskbirds!" and I didn't need much convincing after that
More photos! landylachs.com/sketchblog/2...

Attempting some additional materials for the Apr small indie comics con so I don't look too out of place with my lone 2 Duskbirds zines lol
Harbinger's still in production so I'm thinking of giving away postcards, front w/ cover+info and back showing a page - does one pg work better than the other?

Lol Duskbirds makes me ruminate - I also started with editing volume 2, the "introspective" comics. Which could just as easily be called "emo comics," haha
Fairly finished with vol 2's edits - on to volume 1! The "lighthearted" batch, which contains cheerful, silly comics, to balance the emo

Adding slight art touch-ups, mainly to earlier comics. Nothing major, just attempts to have them read a little more clearly
Such as adding outlines here - this panel is from 2023, about the Apple Vision Pro. That tech died, but it could just as easily be about genAI now. We have learned nothing!

-I'm trying out formatting a small, mini-zine with a selection of Duskbirds comics. Currently thinking of splitting them into two mini-zines - one with "lighthearted" themes, the other with "introspective" themes

Aw thanks Kyris, that's so cool to hear! I use this brush sometimes for comics (it's just a round brush with all the settings turned off), and started using it more in the animations after the Duskbirds one - it's oddly been easier to draft with it, and made me want to try a drawing with it here!
