(Finally boy Ranma's back, despite all the asks about cold showers that clearly wanted girl Ranma taking a shower. The lord giveth and the lord taketh away.)

The Perfect Pumpkin Jacket

Every time fall rolls around, I always think about Akane’s adorable pumpkin jacket and wish I could reach into the manga pages and have it for myself 😔

ARAR sketch - Hitchhiking

Some older art, I think from around 2019 or so, featuring some slightly different tourist t-shirt designs. I was brainstorming the idea of the boys having to hitchhike in order to make it back to town from the beach, but wound up comin up with Ranma's nightmare sequence instead, so I decided to just have them grab a bus instead.

ARAR update sneak peek

I thought my patrons would enjoy seeing some work-in-progress sneak peeks for the next Ask Ranma And Ryoga Update!

I typically start out brainstorming ideas on a single canvas, this helps me to warm up and get my thoughts/ideas organized. Then, I’ll start setting up the pages themselves, copy/pasting the doodles from the brainstorm canvas into a new canvas. Then I’ll sketch any additional details, start roughing out the general panel layout, text/word balloons, and just sort of twe...

Training Days - Too Small

This is a silly little comic about a brain worm that I’ve had since about 2018 or so.

I’ve been considering making a little comic about Ranma’s time on the road training with his father. The manga and anime both leave a lot to the imagination in regards to these years, which leaves a ton of free real estate for me to get my grubby little hands on.

If there’s ever more serious news about “Training Days” becoming an actual thing, my patrons will be the first to hear ab...

6 years of Ask Ranma And Ryoga!

My Ranma 1/2 ask blog just celebrated 6 years on Tumblr today! I redraw the blog's desktop web banner and icon to commemorate--it's pretty wild to see the comparisons side by side!

Ranma Tokyo Streetwear Looks

Ranma reppin’ some Tokyo streetwear!

The first one is obviously pretty classic for him, with the pants being baggier. For look #2, every time I see harem style pants I think of Ranma, and this is also my take on a more modern interpretation of his signature look. As for the third outfit, well...Nabiki would probably give Ranma pants with cats on them as a joke. He only wears them when all his other clothes are dirty...they are actually pretty comfy, though. And he looks damn good in ...

Ranma Redraw - World's Weakest Man!

I'm gonna start getting better with posting all my newly-finished pieces to Patreon first and foremost, before releasing to the public. So, here is a new Ranma Redraw of one of my favourite scenes in the manga (betcha can't guess why)

Patrons are gonna get to see new art from me a couple of days before public release, and ARAR updates a week ahead of public release!

RANMA: I seriously hope not.

Backstreets back, alright! 

HEY! So, that was one hell of a hiatus, huh? There hasn't been an update since September 2020. 

But I'm back and ready to work on this comic again. For now, I have a bit of buffer made up to manage some bi-weekly updates. So, for now, the *tentative* update schedule is every other Sunday! Patrons will, as always, be one week ahead of public release. I'm gonna see how I do with bi-weekly u...

ARAR update announcement!!

Ask Ranma And Ryoga is finally returning after a lengthy hiatus this summer! 

Patreons, as always, can expect updates a full week ahead of public release. The first update is on June 12th, just two days away! Here's an overheated Ranma enjoying a rocket pop to tide you over until then.

Thank you for your support!

Hello, new patrons (and some returning patrons that decided to pledge again once I rose from the dead), thank you all very much for supporting my work and I hope you enjoyed the Ranma Bomb. Have this Ranma as a token of my gratitude.

I’m a little over halfway to my first goal tier, which will unlock monthly updates of Ask Ranma and Ryoga as well as monthly Sketchbook PDFs where I share lots of WIPs, sketches, behind the scenes shit, and more.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Ask Ranma And Ryoga Update - 51

A little factoid about Ryoga's very awful tourist t-shirt: In the Edo period of Japan, Nerima was mostly farmland and was known for growing daikon radishes. The soil in Nerima is part of the Kanto loam layer, consisting of volcanic ashes from Mt. Fuji and ideal for daikon cultivation. So Nerima being considered the "home of the daikon radish" would be a fair statement! 

I am really looking forward to not having to draw their tourist t-shirts, anymore. I always think ideas are good ...
