To pro marker, or not to pro marker

So lately, I was introduced to an adorable piece of software called Fire Alpaca. Very similar to Paint Tool Sai but with not as many brush options. This is mainly down to the fact that the software is fairly new. That being said I'm enjoying using the software to quickly get my ideas visualised. The more I use it the more I'm questioning whether to integrate it into my final character designs instead using my lovely pro markers. Perhaps I could do the line work in Fire Alpaca and colour with promarkers or do the line work with fineliners and pro markers, then go on to colour on fire Alpaca. These are the choices I'll have to make pretty soon!

Ghouley blobs and horned skeletons

Meet the blobbiest, most slimy ghoul ever. I thought this was a fun idea for one of the cards and what's not to like about a blobby ghoul? Not sure what powers he would have yet. I'm imagining a situation where he could throw up on another player's character causing temporary blindness. The utterly delightful things I think of! This is creepy, right? Thinking of making this a reaper sort of character. Jealous of the living.

New projects I'm working on

Back in uni, two new projects to do. The first being to design character/images for a made up table top card game. I've been greatly inspired by Andy Hunt's card game Necronomicards Click here to check it out It's a horror themed card game with monsters from all different cultures and mythologies. This theme is my kinda thing so I'm very excited to start creating these characters. The second project I'm working on is to design a book cover. Unsure of which story yet but it will be horror/thriller/mystery themed I can say that much .
