Spell Check 9

Posted on March 31, 2023 by Grymm Grymmowski

Grymm has entered SLUMP MODE. Projects have been completed. Things are in motion. Now is the time for two or three days of low to no art creation. SLUMP MODE ENGAGED.

Slump Mode is important though. Even though I’m not actively working on art during a slump, I am using the time to do promoting and gallery updating, and social media garbage, and making updates here on the site. All those things that the brain puts on the back burner because The Art is the priority.

That said, what Art is now done? The big thing is a new ConQuest page has dropped. Page seven is now live and we’re starting to focus on Monti and the Dromers.

I’ve also just posted the this month’s Patreon monster stickers to the Monsteagerie section. The winning theme ended up be classic and nostalgic movie monsters. I think I did a pretty good job with it.

Speaking of Patreon and monster stickers, the poll to decide on April’s sticker theme is now up and available to all levels of Patreon supporters. So even if you’re not into getting stickers in the mail, you can still have some input on what you’d like to see me tackle next. Right now “Creepin’ Crytpids” is in the lead.

I think that’s about it for now. The Beagle is currently yelling at me because it’s raining outside and that’s making it a bit difficult to focus. So I’m going to mosey along and do some more Art Wizard Slumping. Like a boss.

I’m listening to 90’s grunge, alt-pop, and ultra niche space wizard rock. The beagle is snoring on his bed next to the art table. There’s a partially colored ConQuest page in the works. Not a terrible way to spend an evening.

Wish I had more to report art wise, but page 7 of ConQuest has consumed my art time the past couple of weeks and now I’m just determined to finish it as quickly as I can. If you want to check out the roughs and inks for this page, both are available on my Patreon for $1 and higher patrons.

I’m hoping that these colors will be done in the next couple of days. Then I can make proper headway on the next batch of Patreon exclusive monster stickers. This time the theme has been voted on my patrons directly and the winner is “Old School Nostaligic Monsters from Film and Television“. I’ve already got some great ideas jotted down on the sketch app in my phone, I just need to properly realize them. Gonna have fun with this theme.

Note to Future Grymm: You want to talk about the creeping dread that is cartoon cereal mascots at some point. It deserves its own post.

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.

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.

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.
