Replaced the nib on my main powerhouse #Kaweco Sport #FountainPen. I've drawn probably 150 pages worth of original art with it over the past 7 years, and the lines were starting to look a bit tired and syrupy. Looking forward to #Aquapunk inking being a little less frustrating 😌

Not sure if I succeeded, but I think I've created an intensely magical piece of narrative #fiction along the way.
I think one of the questions I wanted to ask was: what might a mythic science fiction tale told by and for non-humans look like? How do I make it interesting to humans?

Redrew - entirely! pen-and-ink-on-bristol! - one of the oldest remaining pages of #Aquapunk: this first page of book 2 is from 2009 😲
I've also decided to lean heavily into the #conlang aspect of the comic - all my #SoundFX is already in Sennan, so why not the chapter titles?

Been plugging away at more #Aquapunk redos! Book 4 is coming along nicely, I just need to set aside time for the tediousness of doing 100s of pages of #HandLettering. Oof.
For more progress shots, comparisons, and self-critique, head over to my #KoFi: https://ko-fi.com/aquapunked

Sometimes relettering takes a lot more than just rewriting the words with a better pen.

I've spent the past year tweaking, improving, and sometimes outright redrawing older pages of #Aquapunk in preparation for crowdfunding and printing. I started this #comic more than ten years ago, and it needs some definite improvement in places.
Here's the sort of comparison on I share with #BuyMeACoffee and #KoFi supporters. The original here is 6 years old.

I think I'm going to spend a few hours today working on #lettering for #Aquapunk. (CW for an illustration of murder.)

If you enjoy my work - any of it - I have a #BuyMeACoffee! (Which is a lot like #Patreon, but they treat their users better.)
Right now I'm going through the December 30-day #worldbuilding #prompts for my #comic #Aquapunk, and will have a ton of #art breakdowns and self-critique posted soon! #webcomics #comics #artist #artistsonmastodon #comicart #illustration #drawing
