Meg is curating a gallery show in honor of her wedding and I was honored to be asked to contribute! What a neat idea!
Meg is from the coast and her fiance is from the desert, and the theme of the show is Join Together, so I used that as a jumping off point for the illustration. I hope you like it, Meg. UuU
Magnolia commissioned me to draw the main characters of Monster Pulse and GOSH it was so much fun! Do you read Monster Pulse? Well you should!
I also threw in the sketches down at the bottom because I liked the way they looked.
I went to Lucy Bellwood’s house last night for a drawing party! Since I finished my SECRET PROJECT yesterday I was allowed to tear myself away from my computer and actually draw in a sketchbook. So I worked on some new Character Page drawings and then drew a bunch of OFF and Yogscast fanart yaaaay.
Also today is the last day to vote for the Stumptown Comic Awards! I’m up for Best New Talent and Best Colorist, and if you could give me a vote gosh I’d be thrilled! Don’t forget to confirm your vote via email or else it won’t count!
Well Sfé posted this and I wanted to make one too!!
Her name is Bones and she’s just me as a monster but whatever, Ronan is just Sfé as a selkie so WHATEVER. Ronan’s last name is Monster so we’re collectively Monster Bones GET IT.
We harass Amanda. Professionally. Hah hah hah Amanda, you thought those signs were left by Sfé BUT IT WAS ME ALL ALONG!!!!
The Michigan Lake Monster joins the InCryptid Field Guide!
I got paid to draw a plesiosaur monster, I can die happy.
Bat wings confuse the heck out of me! So I sat down and watched some videos and tried to figure it out! This is specifically microbat wings, since it amazes me that such a big limb can be folded so tightly and compactly.
It’s not perfect, but it helped me wrap my head around the anatomy, maybe it will help others!
The Kickstarter print is finally finished! Gosh this took a long time, but I’m pretty happy with the results! I hope the physical prints don’t eat up all the detail. A big thanks to Sfé for going “Kory no, you’re not done yet, keep going, you can make it look better” every time I showed em progress on it and whined about not being done yet.

How These Tools Are Different
Photoshop doesn’t do well at interpreting light tablet pressure. Making thick-to-thin strokes requires a lot more care and deliberate line control than would even be necessary with an analog sable brush and real ink. It blows out pressure at the low end leaving feathered lines difficult to create.
BLOB. Line. Line. Line. BLOB.
You get the idea. Since around the time of the Photoshop CS6 Beta, I’ve attempted to create a brush that combats these shortcomings by dropping out some of the lowest pressure mark-making with a combination of flow and texture settings.
The result is a brush that, while not 100% opaque at the lightest marks, provides a hell of a lot more fidelity and control. To my knowledge, no one else has used this technique to create inking tools. The response from peers who’ve tested the set has been unanimously positive.
Pointy tip. Line. Line. Line. Pointy tip.
Here’s a short video showing an early version of just one of the tool presets included in this set.
In addition to several inking tool presets, there are robust pencil tools for blue-and-red-line-roughs and general sketching.
Feedback from other Artists
These are, by far, the best set of PS brushes I’ve come across. The pencil tools are excellent. I love the Sumi Brush and the rest of the ink pens are fantastic. – Eric Merced
‘Been waiting on these longer than a stripper trying to pick up a quarter with no hands! Inking brush is the tits dude! – Eric Brock
Note: These Tool Presets are only compatible with Photoshop CS6.
I’ve been using Frenden’s free inker for awhile and I absolutely love it! So I spent 5 bucks to get this whole set of brushes, and I’m sure it will be worth it. I have a hard time using Photoshop’s default brushes now.
