Beryl Stapleton

Hello!


In the first words I apologise - I didn't make an another comic strip from the cycle '4 in 4' to the end of January. Lots of things happen but I hope I'll publish the next one pretty soon.

Recently I've got a chance to read Arthur Conan Doyle's novel The Hound of the Baskervilles. It was a great book and also pretty inspiring. When I stopped on Beryl Stapleton's first appearance I couldn't help drawing her. So I made a sketch on 10th January 2020.

Summary of 2019

HELLO!

Happy New Year!, gif.


Blog exists more than 4 years and I've decided to create a post with a summary of 2019. Well, I've never thought of this as a necessary act. My decision was dictated by few things which are worth comments.


  • This year I published 21 posts and - so far, this is the biggest amount of posts published during one year! 
  • I made a lot of adjustments in order to improve blog's functioning. I mean, for example, adding an option "Click there to read more" to longer posts, adding a graphic to the headline, correcting tags and various texts, etc.

Wakana once again

Hello!


Wakana, graphic.

Two years earlier I create a portrait of Wakana. Wakana Ōtaki was a member of japanese groups Kalafina and FictionJunction. Unfortunately Kalafina disbanded in 2018. Currently Wakana gets her solo career moving.
Why am I speaking about her?

4 in 4: the Autumn leaves

Hello!


   Today I'm announcing a cycle which is connected with Seasons' personifications I've designed. Its title is "4 in 4". I shortened this name because I wanted to create a good logo for series. Actually a full title is "the Four Seasons in Four Frames"

    Although winter is coming, I wanted to make this first strip about Autumn. I've decided to publish each and every comic strips from '4 in 4' during actual Season. So for one year you should expect four comic strips. Now's Autumn turn, so the next comic strip will be concerned with the Winter.

   I wrote dialogue in bubbles in polish language but please don't worry. I made the translation in english which is available beneath the comic strip.

    I hope you'll enjoy '4 in 4'. If you want you could wrote your suggestions about 4 Seasons in comments.



1st Frame:

Girl: Hello! What's up?
Boy: Oh, hey! Nothing but trouble, and also - those leaves make me sick!

2nd Frame:

Boy: What's so special about them, different colours, straight up? They fall and one should sweep them up, and if they're wet, it's impossible to walk on them...
Girl: Geez! You will always find a reason to complain...

a Geisha is coming in a sketch and graphics

Hello! 

   Japanese culture is one of my interests. Everything started with fascination of anime and manga in 2008. And my drawing style is hugely inspired by all those lines and forms I saw (and lost my heart for them). I'm still amazed by such masterpieces like Puella Magi Madoka Magica or Mononoke because of their experimentations with visuality.

   Today I would like to show a geisha's studies made just yesterday. It's a sketch created in a blast of inspiration.
