Last page of concepts for Yuna & Kawachan. These were some rough color guides I made for my friend @samikerwin who helped with flat colors in the last few eps. The bottom left was me asking my editor how the final panel should look so it really makes me smile looking at it 1

More bg refs from Street View. Some of these are much closer to the ref images I used but there's still a lot of adjustment to get the visual information to work with the layout of the super narrow but tall resolution of a digital scroll comic 4

Having simple, reusable bg palettes is a huge help taking out some coloring guesswork. Weekly comics are brutal to produce to anything that can help streamline is important. Also mapping settings and figuring out visual direction is SUPER important for explaining action 4

Monster concepts, my background palettes, and some early color tests for my original Webtoon pitch. I'm not great at creature design so it was daunting to come up with the monsters for this comic but somehow I ended up liking the early sketches I made. Some are very cursed tho 4

Gumford Drop is a sentient gumdrop boy, Joe is a noodle-armed humanoid (alien?) who gets into sketchy situations due to Gumford, and Dennis is Gumford's skeleton roommate. His tiny sweater is Gumford's, which is why it looks like a crop top. 4

Since these characters were vehicles to test storyboarding, all their stories were written as I went which made their adventures very "random." This was the only time I attempted a comic of them but I never cleaned these up 2/2 4

Found an old unfinished comic while looking for Y&K concepts I might have tucked away. Gumford was a character I made to practice using Storyboard Pro and he and his friends Joe (and alien?) and Dennis (Gum's skeleton roommate) were fun enough that I attempted a holiday comic 1/2 4

Moving on from main characters, here's some side char concepts! Yuna's brother and friends were originally important parts of seeing who Yuna is/was as a person and most flashbacks changed between versions. The "date scene" was one of the last Canvas scenes I was working on 4

Spoilers if you haven't yet read my comic Yuna & Kawachan. Mori notes! I think there were more over the years but some failed attempts at figuring out Mori may have been lost. 3

Apparently I have more memes made about Kaito for my editors than I do actual concept art saved on my desktop 3

Don't have a ton for Touma but he was def one of my favorite characters. Very curious, a little sheltered, but very kind. And he wears a cute sweater so he's a man after my own heart 2

Junichiro notes. Because he was an early character I had to struggle keeping his design working with the style but once I got more comfortable, his look got more consistent. I really hate some of the early Junichiro drawings and I'm very happy I finally figured him out 2

Itsumi was a character I really liked working on. I think she went through some variations on who I wanted her to be but once I figured out her personality she sorta all fell into place 4

Yuna & Kawachan concept art and notes 2018-2021 thread. Will update these in the next few weeks. A lot of my concepts were drawn loose and aren't portfolio neat, mostly to save time for me while I was freelancing. 1/ 4
