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.

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!
