BW’s Art Soundoff 2017 #12: Justice Lineart Action

Explaining the DC Multiverse Map

On the other the remaining characters could have been introduced like the movie did and now the General in charge is dragging his heels telling Grant what’s going on when he’s going to tell him anyway.

BW’s Art Soundoff 2017 #11: Clip Studio 3D Doll Revisited

After recording this one I’m unsure if I’ll be up to recording any more until I see the regular dentist for the follow-up. This little leftover bone spur keeps poking me in the tongue while I’m trying to discuss this topic and that’s not fun to talk with. That’s why this is short, plus I didn’t have much to say anyway.
