Pinup #4: In Sync

Happy Pride Month!  Sorry for keeping you waiting so long, but GOD, drawing Zandra is a pain in the butt.  How did I do this for almost two decades?  How is it still so easy to forget what I'm getting into with her??  I'm scripting Witch Warp, still daring to dream that I'll get it off the ground before year's end, and if I ever do then it is going to be such a relief drawing a main character wh...

Really Sketchy Amphibia Fan Art

Well, Amphibia's ending, so I figured I better get some fan art out there. I'll even include the fan theory about everyone suffering specific injuries. Guess time's almost up! What's Sasha saying? You decide.

Spoilers for Moon Knight:

I saw the show, I liked it.  Some people were wondering what kind of unique outfit the Jake Lockley persona would have. Guess I was inspired!

Pinup #3: Betty and Michelle (Mature Content)

Happy Easter, to everyone who celebrates the occasion!  And to everyone who doesn't, have some of the cozy vibes anyway.  It's renewable energy.

Here's another in my series of heathen sex drawings, this time demonstrating how Betty and Michelle maintain a healthy working relationship in spite of Betty's merciless teasing.  I like to think this falls within the parameters of "tasteful" nudity, but what do I know?  Well.  I went to art school.  I've got no ex...

Black Betty Pinup #2 (Mature Content)

Shock!  Scandal!  I feel dirty.  Well, that's why this series will be locked under the Patreon shell.  If you'd like to see, enjoy it responsibly.  If not, pass it by with your head held high.  Leave us to our depravity.

I'll give it this, it's pretty good practice for drawing anatomy, even when it's grotesquely exaggerated for a perverse fiend like Betty.  But like I say, I don't usually publish erotic art, so someone tell me if I'm doing it wrong! View Post

Files from the Stone Society: Inkblood

Hi, everyone.  Before I unfold the latest lore of Zandra’s future world, let’s address the elephant.  The situation in Ukraine is far from over, and it may get worse before it gets better.  If you’re in a position to help, here are some resources:

Black Betty: In Her Element

Hey everyone!  I'm so sorry I haven't had more for you lately.  Been a little occupied helping my father move out of his home, and he's got lots of stuff to manage.  Not to mention his dogs!  Yeah, let's blame them today.  That'll work.  But thanks again for all your patience and support, it really does mean the world to me.

I'm making another Stone Society illustration with accompanying text (trying to address the breadth and scope of View Post

Files from the Stone Society: Tale of a Tiff

  Happy New Year, everyone!  I hope you have a lot to look forward to in 2022.  This isn't a particularly commemorative illustration, but it might be the last of these Files from the Stone Society for the foreseeable future.  I have a lot of resolutions to catch up on, including (hopefully) a new comic to begin on the horizon.

Witch Warp

Season’s greetings, everyone!  Thanks so much for just being here, and for being you.  These are still kind of tough times, and I hope we’re all taking care of ourselves to take care of others.  And don’t forget to recycle any gift debris!

And by way of gifts, I present the announcement of another prospective sister series to Zebra Girl, hopefully arriving sometime in the latter half of 2022!  Witch Warp is the story of Vibrissa Sendo, an abecedarian sorceress ...

Tales of the Wooden Castle: 5

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!  Whether you celebrate it or not, I hope you have a lot of prosperity, and friends to share it with.

You might be able to tell that I originally wanted to post this on Halloween to sort of bookend this series, but it wasn't anywhere close to being done in time.  And Thanksgiving might be a more appropriate occasion, anyway, since it concerns family.

These last few pages were inspired by a conversation I had with my sister back in March. &nbs...

Amphibia AU: Sasha Waybright is a Super Badass

I publish original art since the turn of the century.  My tweets get 4 or 5 likes at most.  Kids half my age post fan art and hit 2K in an hour.  So!  Made in a day, here's my Amphibia AU, Sasha returns to school as a super badass.  Can I be popular now??

Files From the Persephone Society: In Finite Generations

“You know, Tulip, it’s fair to say that most of us Earthlings go to other worlds with magic, at least in our native timeframe.  But you and I know that science can lead the way just as easily as sorcery!  Then again, calling it ‘easy’ depends on who puts in the elbow grease, doesn’t it?  Now there’s a funny term.  ‘Elbow grease’.  Do you know where that phrase comes from?  I’m honestly asking, I haven’t a clue!”

Tales of the Wooden Castle: 4

Aagh.  Oof.  And I mean that sincerely!  Might’ve finished this sooner if it wasn’t for the back pain.  I was fine for a while, then out of nowhere it suddenly feels like my arm’s falling off.  It’s mostly better now, but only mostly, and if I sit and work too long it creeps in again.  Age, right?  That’s what a lifetime of poor drawing posture and mouse-clicking does to you.  They say we hurt the people we love, but it’s the things we love ...

SnowBuni's Dark Ride Now Available

Rebranding

  Hi, everyone.  You might have noticed I've been spiffing up the place.  Well, it's high time.  I can't really use Zebra Girl as the sole focus of this Patreon page since the comic's ended, can I?  Even if I continue working with the same canon, I still need to rebrand a little.  Especially since the Persephone Society project turned out to be so popular!  Well, popular by my standards, anyway.

Happy Pride Month!  Just under the wire, but someone's got to bring up  the rear in every celebration.  I'm rather ashamed that I've never done  anything for this occasion before.  It really feels like something  that's owed.  And a great excuse to do something colorful again!   Getting me used to my new art programs.  I've been experimenting with  Clip Studio Paint and Photoshop Elements.  I was worried about the  latter, but i...

Happy Mother's Day, Everyone!

Just a Quick Word

Hi, everyone!  Sorry I've been so invisible between posts.  Got a lot going on at the moment.  My father's moving out of his house, I had two huge ingrown toenails removed, did the tax returns and stuff, and I finally brought a new computer!

Yes, the old grey Mac can rest at last, after painful years of tenuous life support.  It's the merciful thing to do.  I would be using its replacement now (instead of my phone), but I'm having to jump through all sorts ...

Reasons to Celebrate

Remember to keep wearing those masks, washing those hands and keeping  them away from that face, maintaining that decent distance from others,  and maintaining that generally positive outlook!  Maybe look up a  charity or two, if you're so inclined.  It could mean the world to  someone!

And for everyone who continues to support me and my work, especially now....  Really.  Thank you very, very much.  It keeps me going in more ways than one, an...
