Description
Tamiko and her sword, Ruach. I will post the process I did on this soon, just not tonight xD I really love how this turned out and will be posting it on my webcomic tumblr to update the cover image. I also changed the name of the story, which I will put on this image later. Everything is coming together slowly and I’m super excited
Thanks to everyone who's been super patient with me as well. I know I've taken 3 years since I last started, but I think it's worth it! It was funny too, my husband came up while I was working on this and said, "Oh I love the..um..lightbugs... wait that's not what they're called. What are they called?!" I responded, "You mean fireflies?" And he said, "Dang how could I forget that!" xD To be fair he's been on night schedule so I think it's messing with him a bit.

Thank you! It's hard to do, I use color dodge or hardlight and manipulate the oppacity. I might do another layer with an airbrush on the same layer mode/opacity to get it to "blend" better. It's a hard look to achieve tho xD

It was hilarious! Someone brought up they're called "lightning bugs" as well, so he wasn't far off xD
Thank you! It will be this year just not sure when lol. I also forgot to post the process on here, but it is on my tumblr: paigecofferillustration.tumblr… I'll try to get up here too.

Love it! And I really like the new name of the comic too; it seems fitting since it encompasses more than just Tamiko.

Thank you! Yeah I find it more fitting. Tamiko is the main character but it will show parts of stories of other characters as well. I also was sick of everyone IRL saying, "Sounds like Book of Eli!" lol but thank you! I wanted it to have a mysterious aura about it

You're welcome!
Oh, oh no! xD And yeah, I can never just focus on one character either which is why there's four (proooobably more) main characters in Maelstrom.

It's hard! I think there's always a "main" character in stories but there's definitely a group of mains as well. You also want characters everyone can relate to in some way.

I was heavily inspired by LOTR in that respect!

Oh, very true! Man Tolkien did such a good job on so many things, it raises the bar so darn high xD
