Kor and Nor Ink Sketch for My Comic Book Series

Описание: I’m back at the drawing table for an inking session, sketching Nor—The Ethereal of the Merging Stars— and Kor (The Etherea of Chaos). Both are from my creator-owned series set in The Realm Etheral Universe. This piece revisits the epilogue of The Dream Awakens and teases threads leading into my follow-up, The Sky Dreamers.

I’m working fast today, minimal pencils, straight to inks. Since I can’t “scale” traditionally, I redrew the figure smaller and leaned into form, shadow, and dry-brush texture. I’m using a brush pen with a cartridge for convenience, though I love inking with a Windsor & Newton Series 7 when I have time to fully set up. Inking is my favorite stage—there’s something honest about committing to the line.

Lore-wise, Nor hints at a larger order of Ethereals beyond the ones you’ve met so far—alongside the Ethereal Guard and Metaterrans like Casia. I’ve been building this world for years, balancing a day job with long nights of storytelling and art. Expect bigger conflicts ahead (yes, a major Ethereal vs. Ethereal throwdown is coming).
