As you may or may not know, every month I make and mail out a Risograph print for my Patreon Riso Club! This month’s print is actually a redraw of an older mini comic of mine that has only ever existed as a sticker.
I feel like my drawing style has changed a bit since I first drew the original version in September of 2020, so I’ve been meaning to redraw it for a while now. (I’ve posted the original comic further below!)
Here’s the new riso print + new digital illustration:
And here’s the old version:
I remember I was rewatching a lot of the first season of Sailor Moon when I drew the original, and so I was paying particular attention to how all the characters’ flowing hair was drawn. (Side note: the ending of Season 1 of Sailor Moon was unexpectedly tragic, from what I remember?? I was only trying to watch a silly, goofy show in order to distract myself from the world in lockdown, but no…)
I think I might actually prefer the color palette of the original comic, but I’m limited when it comes to what colors I can riso print with! I currently only have 5 ink options, and it costs about $400 to buy a new ink drum/color for my riso machine 😳 So I am verrrry slowly building my ink collection haha.
Bonus mini comic that I drew in an attempt get out of an art slump (I’m not sure if it worked, but at least I made something?):
