Description I have to say...that's the hardest I've ever worked on a comic. EVER. This took at least 6 hours... I'm thinking maybe there must be a better way to draw comics, otherwise I don't know how artists spend 6 hours per page making comic books...please tell me your secrets...

This is a Christmas giveaway gift for Meadowfox79, of her characters Cinnamon and Sugar Spice. Sorry if I messed up the colours. It's hard to get the colours exact when I'm mixing traditional with digital art but I hope I got close enough. I really like these character's designs. I hope you like it.


Here is her page, she has some pretty awesome character designs

As a general rule, I do not support homosexual marriages/relationships because I am a Christian and I believe marriage symbolizes the marriage between Jesus and the Church (his bride) Ephesians 5, and as such, since the church is called a bride and Jesus is the groom, a marriage is only to be between a man and woman. With that said, do not think for a second that I do not respect homosexuals, they are people like everyone else and deserve respect and love just like everyone else. And after all, if your kid was living a lifestyle you didn't agree with, obviously you still love your kid no matter what they do, so do not label me as a homophobe. I have no fear of sin and just because I don't agree with it doesn't mean I fear it. Otherwise you could also consider me a drunkaphobe (scared of drunks), a liarophobe (scared of lies), or a atheistophobe (scared of atheists), after all, these are ALL things I don't agree with, but that doesn't mean I'm scared of them and hate them. If I were scared of everything I didn't agree with, I would literally be scared of everything, because everything is tainted in sin. Jesus died for sinners, and we are all sinners, me included. So that's like saying I must also be afraid of myself, because I sin. However it is by the blood of Jesus that things are washed clean, and made into new creatures. You may disagree with me, in fact, most of you probably do, especially those who actually struggle with it. You might say you were born with it...no matter...I was born a sinner. We are all born in sin. However Paul says "Such were some of you" as in, you once were, meaning no more. For those of you who believe in Jesus Christ, Paul offers hope, Jesus can help you overcome anything, anything. Even what you think is your identity, your homosexuality. My identity is my sin too...at least it was until Jesus washed me clean. Now I am a new creature, even though I still sin, Jesus washes all sins clean before God...there is nothing too impossible for Him. But for those of you who don't believe in God, I am obligated to share this message with you, not because I am trying to persecute you as some would believe, but because it is UNLOVING to let others live in darkness without letting them know that there is light... The rest is their own choice, but I must tell you so that you know you have options, even if you reject what I say and don't believe that you do.

Usually I get crucified online for disagreeing with anything society says I must agree with. However I ask that the "tolerance" others preach they would actually follow. Because tolerance isn't demanding everyone to agree with you, it's actually the opposite. It's respecting an opinion DESPITE disagreement. I respect your opinion on this topic despite disagreeing with you; that's tolerance. Calling people homophobes simply because they don't agree with something is not tolerance, it's just name-calling.

With that said, I invite discussion, CIVIL and RESPECTFUL discussion, but I would prefer you to send me a note if you want a response because I'm not always that great with keeping up with the comments.

Anyway, I expect people to unfriend me because of this because that's what always happens but there's lots of people I don't agree with that I am friends with. For example, one of my friends got pregnant before getting married, and she is living with the man she has not married. I do not agree with that, but that doesn't mean I don't care for her. She is my friend, and I will always come to her aid when she calls. Please don't be offended. My husband likewise puts up with all my crap, but he doesn't love me any less. (And trust me, I am very VERY hard to love sometimes).

Looks great. 6 hours is actually the minimum for this kind of quality, it takes more hours for certain artists.

Thanks! I have a "lazy brush set" so the background is actually the fastest and easiest part. It's the shading of the dragons that takes the longest, I just shade directly on the pencil sketch using multiply and colour dodge, all in the same layer.

This is beautiful, and I strongly agree with everything you said in the description. I'm a Christian myself, and I find myself caught in the same thoughts about homosexuality quite frequently; I don't support it, but I also don't judge or disrespect them. But at the same time, it always saddens me how many people think almost all Christians are homophobic, etc, just like how it angers me that some Christians think that all homosexuals should burn in hell. That's not what Jesus would've done. He would've kept loving them no matter what, after all, we all are sinners, yet He still loves us. And I also firmly believe that He doesn't judge you on your sin, He judges you by your heart. One may sometimes act reckless and sinful, but as long as you apologise for it, care about others, love others, accept that Jesus died to save us, and if your heart is in the right place, then nothing can separate you from Him.

Sorry for the long message, I got a burst of inspiration haha. Keep up the good work and may God bless you in your travels and in whatever you may pursue

Thank you, to be honest, most of the people who call me names are "Christians" who twist Scripture to support everything they want to do. So many of them twist it to have sex before marriage, or to get drunk, or to support others in their sin too. It really hurts to have a Christian tell you that Jesus is sending YOU to hell for your obeying his own word. To be honest i care way too much what people think vs what God thinks. You can tell just with how upset I get when other "Christians" attack me. I really need to work on some things myself...

I understand that it's hard, but you know what, I guess the good news is that at least there are Christians out there who truly follow the Scriptures righteously and with all their heart, just like you. Just never give up, keep your eyes on Him, and He'll clear a path for you

Ahh, this looks simply wonderful <33 Thank you so much for drawing this, even if you don't neccessarily agree with their relationship- it really means a lot to me.
That aside, this looks wonderful! You got the designs spot on and I think you did a great job alltogether. Thanks again for the time you put intot his, it really shows.
As for cutting down on comic time, I would say its probably just because of how wonderful and comex your colouring style is. Most comics use simplistic cell shading and simple character designs and linearting themes. Your style is simply gorgeous, just maybe not the right one for making comics.
But thank you again, this means a ton to me and is super adorable!

I'm so glad you like it! I had a lot of fun drawing and shading it although your right, I probably couldn't use this style on a regular basis for comics, it's just too much work XD lol. For 1 page though I guess it works okay. I'll have to experiment some more with different techniques Merry Christmas!

I can't wait to see what styles you come up with, as well! Merry Christmas!
