Deviation Actions
I plan on revamping the style of Demon Battles a bit, well it's more like a makeover than a revamp. I'm changing the line art and toning. I'm going to keep working on the areas I already know I have issues with and have been working on (such as hands and stiffness). Going to keep improving all the technical stuff. As for the line art it would be slightly thinner, like this (it's incomplete, but I was just practicing before work):
And for toning I'm going to try to do it more like I did this drawing:
I'm going to only really shade in dramatic lighting and not have everything colored in, except dark areas. I already exported the most recent Demon Battles pages from this chapter showing the tones so it can be more consistent with the new style when I submit it to Twelve Gates. Here's an example of how it looks:
I finally figured out how to save it right while still showing the tones. It still looks a little busy in some areas, but when I do it with less shading, it would look better.
And as for the issues with Angel, I think it's more that I just haven't gotten around to exposing her personality flaws or go in depth with her as much yet. The first Volume was more of a prologue to the series. I told one of my friends who is an excellent writer and has two webcomics about the plans I have for Angel and how I was going to show her as being not so perfect. She really liked my plans for her and is interested in seeing her character development coming up in the series. So please be patient with me when it comes to Angel. More shall be reveled soon.
And as for my objective for Demon Battles, it is a series about the spiritual battles we go through growing up, the internal struggles between doing the right thing vs the wrong. The teenage years can be kind of rough with trying to discover who you are and how you fit in the world and dealing with hormones. Demon Battles is not only an action, but a little bit of a romance too. The story follows Angel and Malachi and the spiritual battles they and their friends face as they go through the final two years of high school, but also shows the budding relationship between Angel and Malachi as well as their spiritual growth. Angel and Malachi were specifically chose to physically fight demons cause of their gifts, but we all go through the spiritual battles as Christians. And that's what DB is all about.
Please let me know what you guys think. I'm trying to make sure I'm going in the right direction with this.
Edit: I'm also making some slight alterations to some of the character designs. Here's an example of some practice sketches.

Going to be Streaming
So, I decided after a few years to finally start streaming again. Here's my twitch account in case anyone is interested: https://www.twitch.tv/fabulous_gabulous777
I can't promise a consistent streaming schedule because my hours are different every week at work, but I'll keep everyone posted when I am streaming. ^_^ Next stream is probably going to be late Monday morning or early Monday afternoon.
Leap of Faith
About two and a half years ago, I moved up in my job from part time to full time. At the time it was a huge blessing. Growing up lower class my entire life I was thrilled at the prospect of finally making it to middle class. It was one of the things I wanted most in my life...or so I thought...
Four months into working full time, that's when my issues with anxiety at work began. I was struggling to juggle working on my artwork and writing, as well as working full time. I felt like the job was starting to consume my life. Right after clocking in one day, non provoke I started crying and couldn't stop. I had to be sent home. My supervis
Revamping my Tumblr Account
Going to leave this here, just in case anyone is interested: http://fabulous-gabulous-theartist.tumblr.com/
Art Feature!
The first ten people to comment on this journal, I will put their avatar and the three deviations I like the most from their gallery on the list!
If you comment, you have to make a journal like this and do the same thing, putting me in the first spot.
The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone! If you don't re-do it you will be taken off the list.
