Viktoria tries out a little low-fashion style while enjoying a refreshing beverage.
I'm pretty sure I drew this picture last summer, but it was a pretty warm day today and Spring is just around the corner, so here we go!

Squeaky clean is relative… But the pinups on my DeviantArt are about as unsafe for tumblr as you’re going to find.

Any advice for those who want to make their own comic series?
YES! A lot of things!
If you’re not familiar with doing a whole lot of comics, don’t jump into a long series. Start small and work up: 4 page shorts, 10 page shorts, 20 page shorts, etc. After a few projects are complete, THEN consider doing long form. You have to learn how to start, climax, and resolve stories. Endings are the hardest part because people usually don’t get to do them!!
Design characters that are easily replicated cause you gonna be drawing them 200000 times. I’m used to drawing more complex characters but if you read my comic start to finish you’ll see I simplified them over time cause OOF. It was too much even for me! And honestly if I started over I would make things sooo much easier to draw.
Make SMALL casts too. You’ll regret drawing those group shots of 20 characters in one panel. *looks at @tristikovart 👀* I can’t exactly tell you a recommended size but 1-2 mains at minimum you always follow.
Come up with an art style that’s also easy to produce quickly. I’ve had to experiment with this for years to find a good place. You have to update frequently to get readers and to do that you have to produce pages quickly. So don’t digitally paint your pages or draw every head hair unless you KNOW you can produce them quick enough to make it worth it *looks at @tristikovart again 👀*
You’re gonna wanna redo your pages because the style changes over time. Resist. I’m not against revamping at all cause I have and WILL do it, just make sure you can still produce NEW pages too! If you pause producing new pages to redo your old ones, you’ll get stuck in a perpetual loop of reboots. It happens to a LOT of new comic artists. Get used to imperfection. YOU CANT BE PERFECT.
Be reasonable on story length if it’s your first too. It doesn’t have to be your Magnum Opus. Round it out at 300 pages, 500.... idk. You don’t have to make a 10,000 page story. Please don’t in fact, if it’s your first go. Please.
IT WILL TAKE YOU A VERY LONG TIME TO FINISH SO YOU GOTTA COMMIT TO THAT. 5 years, 10 years. 20 years. It’s gonna be your fictional child you’ll have to raise and put through comic college. Do the math: there are 52 weeks in a year. If you update once weekly that’s 52 pages each year. If you have a 500 page comic? That’s gonna take you around 10 years. Twice weekly? Still gonna take you 5 years.
That said, take breaks if you’re mentally unwell to handle it! Breaks are fine and needed sometimes and if people complain they can DEAL 💖 you are giving people free entertainment and you owe them nothing if they start bitching. True fans will understand and support you!
Write outlines and scripts. Know how your story will start, climax, and end. Know where things will lead at LEAST roughly. Long form changes a bit over time, but so long as you have a guideline you can keep the story consistent and it’ll save you many headaches!
Experiment and have fun! It can be hard finding time to do Webcomics and financially and mentally taxing at times. So when you’re able to do them, just do the best you can!! They can be a LOT of fun and very rewarding!
These are my PERSONAL hot takes from my on and off 12 years of experience. I made a lot of mistakes so I’m trying to save others from my fate! Hope it helps you, Anon, and anyone else who reads it too!
Miss something? Please reblog and add to it 💖

Made some adjustments to the Art page on worldofavania.com to neaten up the tag list, and also showcase some fanart and trades featuring Avania characters that I’ve received from other artists! 
You can mouse over the pictures for artist credit, and click to go to their respective sites. Since I’m still just basing this out of tumblr, you can only see the images at full size if you right click and open the image in a new tab, but I figured I should actually have some art on the page when its URL is “gallery.”
Has anyone used the art and/or character name tags to filter art posts on @worldofavania​ or @tristikovart​ ? You can also search @avaniacomic​ via character tags too (links are in the cast page.)
I’ve tried to make the comic and blogs more searchable via tagging, and I hope it will be useful as the number of pages grows over time. Have questions? Comments about the site setup in general? If you’d like to provide any feedback I’d be happy to hear it!

Time to get inked for the new year! I've been experimenting with brush settings to get away from the default brushes I've used for years now, and try to introduce a bit of the grit inherent to real ink on paper.
As I mentioned in the sketch version of this pic, I started yet another AU... It's a totally ordinary early 2000s setting, but with SPACE RAPTORS! It doesn't follow any particular logic, I just just felt like it would be a fun way to express Chasse' personality in a vastly different setting than usual, and draw some fun clothes that wouldn't fit in any other continuity too.
Chasse, and the rozenich species were both designed by @alfafilly

I wanted to explore ways to develop the look and feel of my line art, and this portrait is a quick test using elliptical brushes with a bit of noise (I've just used basic round brushes for a long time now)... I'm surprised at the difference just the brush shape alone makes though!
I'll keep experimenting until I find something I like well enough to use for larger pieces. What do you think? I'm happy to hear comments and suggestions!

Before the day is done I want to wish a Happy Birthday to @alfafilly with a gleeful sticker drawing of her oft-sadboi: Forte... And thus complete the trio of sparkle raptors doing the pose that I started years ago.

I had this idea and sketched it down near the end of 2022, and I intended to make a more finished design sketch or even a finished pinup, but I've had so little time to draw lately it just hasn't happened yet... Never the less, I still like this sketch a lot, so here's a somewhat cleaned up version!
Griffin Armament makes all sorts of parts, with suppressors being a specialty... They also make some sweet t-shirts too, and being me, I couldn't help but imagine a sexy anthro version of their logo's heraldic gryphon / griffin silhouette.

Whew, seeing a therapist is looking pretty desirable now!
As my signature there reveals, I actually drew this sketch back in 2019. I've had it pretty much all cleaned up for a few years now, and it was one of the very last mostly-finished sketches from the before times that I had not posted yet... It was originally prompted by my and @alfafilly's comic and misc. imaginings of a Viktoria / Arpeggio cross-over, and since we haven't touched that particular subject in a while, I guess I was waiting for a "suitable time" to post this sketch.
To be more serious for a moment, 2023 has turned out to be a rather difficult year for me: being a father to an extremely busy little baby who has trouble sleeping, going 14 months now without a solid night's sleep myself, dealing with ongoing family issues, and recently a very serious health matter with my own father. It has been a challenge, to say the least.
As I'm sure many other artists feel, drawing, writing, and bringing my characters to life is more than just a hobby to me... While sketching sexy anthro Ospreys and the like doesn't sound especially profound as a form of personal expression and emotional catharsis, it is none-the-less something I deeply enjoy and an activity which nourishes my soul. It is also something I've had precious little time to do now having made the commitment to be a dad.
I am not unhappy with my choices though; I look with eager anticipation to what lies ahead as a parent, and also to what I want to do with my art as time allows... I just wish I could focus on fewer life-changing matters simultaneously, or at least get a bit more sleep.
TL;DR, Life is not static and I'm really tired.

A new pinup of my yet-unnamed gryphon girl, conceived as an unofficial mascot for Griffin Armament. She's uh, a 3-gun competitor and totally not a Gilda expy!

While working on the finished version of this pinup, I went nuts experimenting with different color variations... Well at some point when I was turning layers on and off, I wound up with just the line art and shading on beige, and damn if it didn't look kinda neat! (Then I slapped some katakana in there to make this happy little accident look purposeful).
