Hello, and happy Memorial Day Weekend!
I wanted to provide my patrons with a novel update. Above is a preview of the first page of chapter 2! In this chapter, I start with the 2nd half of the prologue then jump back to Raina. I'm very excited for the rest of the prologue, as it helps flesh out my world. I get to draw a lot of Nevma's history. I'm eager to share it with y'all!
That said, I hope everyone who has bought a copy of chapter 1 has enjoyed their book. Again, I am EXTREMEL...

She can run, but she can't hide.
I'm having a lot of fun making these comics longer. And I'm getting faster at drawing them.
I'm fast.
I'm very fast.
P.S. Yes, Raina's in a Reaper.

Lt. Jacob Clarke is only a little attached to his mech... I thought this would be fitting for his character. After all, he and his machine been through a lot together.

Well my internet decided to be slow AF tonight, and I was not able to live stream. SAD FACE! My Specialists had voted on a Levin speed paint, so I will still be honoring this request on the next Draw & Chill, Saturday 5/27/23 at my normal 7:00 pm PST time.
To make up for my poor interwebs, here is a re-post of an early concept piece for my novel. If you would like to download it, the attachment is at the bottom of this post. Copyright applies - please use for your personal enjoyment...

I'm sure Raina will appreciate the help.

I updated my Silver Knight character cards. Wanted to polish these. I've also added Brien Ingolf to the Squad cards. Just fyi for those who haven't gone back and dug through my old posts, Brien is Raina's sister. She served on the Silver Knight Squad with Raina for 6 years before she passed. Since she was around for so long and plays a key role in my actual novel, she'll continue to pop up.
I'll have Levin's card back up later. He's not the only Oasian, so I will be having his card toge...

"See for yourself the beauty of Knight pilots coming together."
Seth and Konner will most likely not be asked to help with recruiting again... At least not if they are left to their own devices.

Happy May 1st!
Please enjoy this new Levin x Raina wallpaper. I'd love to turn this into a poster eventually.

If you are wondering what I listened to while I drew this, I basked in Two Steps From Hell's album "Miracles". Mostl...

Here's the aftermath of the grenade launch. Could have been worse, I guess.
The miss was entirely Levin's fault. GO PUT YOUR RIZZ AWAY AND SIT IN THE CORNER, SIR.

Here's the concept art for this Oasian weapon: a shoulder grenade launcher. It's beefy and easy to reload. Have not thought up the official name of it yet. Though I really want to name it "Chonky Ka-Boom"...

*Posting a little early for this one, as I will be slammed over the next few days.*
Raina shoots an Oasian grenade launcher. Levin underestimates his rizz.
Aaaaaaaaannd.... the last panel was my favorite to draw. LOL

I'm using this Oasi Bit as my announcement for anything new and exciting that I need to post to my socials.
Obviously it's commissions this time around. lol
I love the chaotic energy of these boys.
Cheers!

Here is the extra merch that will be available on my shop when purchasing the first graphic novel issue!
(Left) A signed copy of the Oasi's Fallen mini poster.
(Right) A set of 6 peel and stick water-resistant stickers
I'll have coupon codes for you awesome PFC and SPC patrons who want to purchase these with the novel.
I've included a couple of pics of the stickers in use. I honestly would love to deck all my monitors out in them. Haha!

Here is the complete set of stickers I'll be releasing in a package deal for the graphic novel! Patrons will be getting a discount code for these. :) I'll have another post up of the stickers actually in use so you can see what they look like after being peeled off.
I decided to include a couple of baby idonogos since the little guys are such a hit. Hope y'all are happy with the first set!
CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERS!

The drill sergeant in this meme looked too much like Lt. Clarke. So it had to be done.
Just fyi, I don't have a Nevmian sergeant character in my bits due to the way knight squadrons are structured. Our main characters make up an elite branch of their squadron known as the "squadron head" which is directly overseen by the whole squadron's first lieutenant (1LT Clarke). The captain works closely with the squadron head which is also why we see a lot of Captain Gilcrest himself. Sergeants a...

This exclusive 7 panel comic is done in the style of my novel. However, it is in B&W which I reserve for some flashbacks in the book. The heaviness of the inking gives it the right feel.
Despite my fun bits, Oasi's Fallen is a serious novel. It has some humor throughout, but the majority showcases war and the toll it takes on humanity.
**!!!**SMALL SPOILER AHEAD**!!!**
Please do not continue reading if you wish to read the graphic novel bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. I kn...

Hell yeah, you get two bits this week!
I recently watched "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent" and absolutely needed to pull a meme off this movie. It slayed me quite a few times.
It's fitting 'cuz if I had to pick someone that reflected Konner's personality, Pedro's performance would come very close. (ON THE CONTRARY, RAINA IS NOTHING LIKE NICOLAS CAGE! lol. But dang his facial expression was useful!!)
As stated in a previous bit, Konner often takes his mech places it ...

I wanted to share another panel process, as I haven't done one for a while. This was a nice shot from page 26.
You can see how pages take me a while as they each have anywhere from 3 - 10 panels I must color and paint. But I do love it. Each panel is important and I take my time doing this process with every one of them.

When the squad is having technical difficulties, Klaus often finds the issue. Humor, on the other hand, is not his strong suit. His joke falls flat this time.
Hadn't had the chance to drawn much of Klaus in the Oasi Bits, so here's the lanky boy.
Cheers!

Here is some more artwork for the most recent pages!
1st sketch is from page 27 (ready to be lined). This will be one of my favorite shots from the whole chapter. Even in the sketched form, I'm obsessed. Action panoramas are the bombdiggity.
2nd picture is a completed panel from page 26. I think I nailed the color/light contrast for this one. I'm not a big fan of purple and yellow combos, but this is where it belongs. The contrast almost hurts the eyes just like a flash of light w...

Levin and Raina rest in a cave. As does the baby idonogo that has tagged along with them. It cuddles with Raina as she sleeps, causing her to say some... things. Levin is shook.
Drawing the Oasi Bits is a huge way of how I practice working on character continuity/expressions (while also entertaining my awesome supporters). I'm excited to be able to draw more of these two in the actual graphic novel. Chapter 2 has a lot of Levin and Raina, so I have to be good at drawing them from all as...

Here is some previews of the most current pages!
1st pic is a snippet of page 25 (minus dialogue). The last half of this chapter is FILLED with explosions, which I absolutely love drawing. Chaos is very satisfying to paint and I can go crazy with lighting!
2nd pic is from page 26 - it's ready to be lined, which I will be doing today. Hopefully the fun of drawing explosions will help detract from the sadness of the next couple pages. Or I may just be a hot mess of tears and concent...

Needed to pull from this famous meme "Dramatic Dmitry". This is probably my favorite I have done so far.
Aside from cracking myself up, this was great anatomy practice.

Levin and Raina traverse the Oasi terrain. This is absolutely canon. Lol
Fun fact, my favorite piece of clothing to draw are Levin's boots.
Hope y'all are having a good week! More goods this Saturday, as it is a special day!

Figured I would draw some sauce in time for Valentine's Day. So here is Raina accidentally discovering Levin's shaving habits. It gets hot on Oasi, alright?
Just for clarification, when I show Raina and Levin, these bits takes place AFTER she gets stuck on Oasi. When I draw her and her squadron, those take place BEFORE she gets stuck on Oasi.
Raina and her squadron are Nevmians.
Levin is an Oasian.
I know lots of characters can be confusing; I hope this helps. I'...

Sharing my current status on the novel. First pic is the completed colored page 24 and second is page 25 that is now ready to be lined. I'm very excited to only have 6 pages left until I complete the chapter! After speaking with my editor, I've also decided to include my first 5 pages of my prologue. These are complete, I just need to resize them to the correct format for the book. Still on track to publish this summer! I'll be messaging my patrons when that time comes s...
