Spell Check 6

Posted on February 19, 2023 by Grymm

Due to circumstances beyond my control, Voodoo Walrus is on hiatus for a while. I hate and love this fact in equal measure. I hate the circumstances that have led to this happening. I hate having to once more stall a story that has been stalled countless times already. I hate shelving a setting and cast that I love creating. I simply despise not being able to finish things at the pace I want them finished.

However, I do love that it gives me the chance to focus completely on ConQuest and other works for a bit. Up until now I was bopping back and forth. Finish art for a Voodoo Walrus page, rough out a ConQuest page, work on stickers or commissions, finish a ConQuest page, rough out the next Walrus. The goal was to push out one VW and one CQ page every month and I was getting pretty close to that. It was tiring though.

So, executive decision made. Grymm focuses on Art Wizarding until VW making circumstances are right again.

That said, what have I been up to recently? I figured doing a blog entry would be a good one stop shop for that info.

Most of the past month has been spent focused on the ValenTerror sticker design set and working on ConQuest page six. The ValenTerror stickers can actually be seen in all their glory in the Monsternagerie right now! Page six of CQ will hopefully be done and up on the Patreon within a few days and uploaded here shortly thereafter.

Love is in the air. Like a gamma ray burst.

In fact, most of what’s been done recently can be found on my Patreon for all patrons regardless of tier level:

–Finished colors for ConQuest Page Six

-DEEP LORE: The War Witch and Brevyas’ Tears

-PROGRESS VIDEO: Inking CQ and rambling about the Mandela Effect

-CQ CONCEPTS: Drome Tammet Sigil Graphic

-POLL: Next monster sticker pack theme

Wow, when I type it out it I actually feel like I’ve been productive! Neat!

I keep meaning to sit down and do some writing here and show off some of what I’ve been working on, but things just seem to keep cropping up. Like needy beagles, or video games. If you’ve ever had a beagle’s noise cannon aimed at you, it’s understandable how hard it is to accomplish things under such conditions.

Things are slowly getting done though. Take a look at this little horror I just finished this past week.

narwhal monster noopewhal commission — *Surf ‘n Turf Time*

It’s not every day you walk into work and have someone tell you that they want to commission you to make a narwhal monster specifically to give it to their friend who’s terrified* of narwhals. So of course I had to tackle it. So very happy I did too. I love how this horrorshow turned out.

I knew I thoroughly succeeded when I next saw the commissioner and she had this to say:

“So my son saw the print and said “Mommy, that’s the monster that chases me down the hall when I go to the bathroom at night!”.

That’s ambrosia right there. Absolutely life giving. Chef’s kiss.

In other news, ConQuest page five is slowly coming along. It’s been a struggle to get some of the posing and composition they way I want it, but the roughs are finally all down and the inking has started. I’m hoping to have those finished by the end of the week the whole page finished before the new year.

conquest vaius fantasy comic in wip — *Get your staves and your spells ready.*

The roughs for page 5 are up on my personal Patreon right now if you want to check them out. Work in progress stuff is always available to all patrons no matter what tier level they’re on.

*They really are weird and slightly unnerving to look at. I kind of love them.

Welcome to Grymm Arts. I’m Grymm Grymmowski, and I wanted an alternative to sending people to sub-par gallery sites and gentrified social media sites to find my art. So I carved out this little chunk of the digital wasteland to be an all in one stop for all my creative pursuits.

Here I can post what I want, say what I want ad how I want to, and not worry about shadow bans, demonetization, or trying to fight various algorithms for a tiny slice of recognition.

Expect comics, monsters, horrorterrors, animation rants, and hopefully some drawing videos here and there if I can steal the time away while the beagle sleeps.

The ever adorable Diesel the beagle — *Yes, he’s that adorable. But he makes noises that should probably be banned by the Geneva Convention.*

Ok. Cool. Posting this brings me to a point where I’m finally happy with the set up here. Time for me to actually so work on some actual comic pages before it’s time to feed the furry noise cannon his dinner.
