About Me

My photo
I like cheese, dinosaurs, green things, my friends/family/enemies, and comics. I know that I have a long way to go but I cannot wait to become a cartoonist. I love to learn new things, and I hope that by starting this blog it can be my first step towards that goal. I thank my friends and family, and my ability to come up with stories and characters. Here's to the future

Come&Sleep PREVIEW!!!

So, here's a preview for Come&Sleep, a graphic novel written and drawn (yes, that includes lettering, coloring, inking, etc., ect.) by me, Kayla V. Shaggy.

The novel takes place in modern times (the year 2009), in the grand city of New York City, and asks the question:

DO MONSTERS EXIST?

The monsters being vampires, werewolves, aliens, monstrosities, zombies, the Devil himself with his Legion of demons, and one important "monster"--

the kitsune, or fox.

(not to be confused with the band or online reviewer)
(here's a helpful page if you don't know what THAT is)
(otherwise, keep reading...)

Our story begins with a certain, very young, and VERY naive kitsune named Lily.

Her seemingly innocent interactions with both humans and monsters soon gives way to an unraveling story, that she, unknowingly, is in the center of.

Come&Sleep.

But, first, a prologue....










.....that's it for now.

:D

Pre-Sketches

So, like, I make comics, and I totally have a graphic novel. But for now you get a sneak peek. : D

In case you was wondering (which you probably weren't) I use nibs and Speedball ink for the inking process, although I sometimes use Sharpies and Microns for the panels and words.

I usually pencil with a regular HB or a 0.7 Pentel mechanical pencil, although I've been experimenting with H and F pencils as I do pencil heavily.

Some proof:


I usually use cheap-old sketch/notebooks for storyboarding (this is for chapter five) and sometimes make one page equal eight pages, saving on stuff and whatnot, very loosely based on Bryan Lee O' Malley's storyboards.

Most of the time, whenever I get inspired (by anything really, mostly music tho') I come up with character ideas and scribble down ideas.

More below!!! (These are just ones I found in my jump drive, so they're kind of unrelated to the chapter heh heh they're just examples)







So yeah. Afterwards I might use colored pencils and watercolors, although I would like to experiment with just using ink.

MORE TO COME!!!
