Hey guys! I actually have a handful of drawings I can share again! I've been spending a lot of time trying to loosen up and draw sexy stuff with Scarlet again for fun without worrying about if what I'm making will feel canon or accurate to whatever ends up happening in the comic. I have to just chase what's fun to draw, since maybe trying to make everything about this story be air-tight is actually sucking some of the fun out for me.
There's a random mix of doodles here but my favorite ...

Hey guys! Time sort of slipped away from me a little bit, sorry this update is a later than I wanted it to be.
This set of pages has the new character I introduced in an earlier post, Edgar's childhood friend and pro gamer, Bananaslamma or Slamma for short. I had mentioned before that I wanted to give Edgar a moment in this chapter but I didn't want to use the store runners since they were based on likeness of real people (even though I changed this in the new version anyways).

Hey guys! I have a few things that aren't Red Muscle pages that I can share this time!
I've mentioned before but Mariel and I are going to table at Anime Expo again this year and we've wanted to pivot to a different brand name since Bumpers has generally been my thing tied closely with Ami, Frankie, Yuka and Ren. We decided we're going to go with the name Gummy Workshop as our brand for any creative projects that we do, which is of course comics and convention merch but also things we w...

Hey guys! Short update for this one but I have a few more sketch pages for you.
Camille was a throwaway character in the original chapter among a handful of characters but I really got attached to her by the end and she became more important to the story since, so I felt like reshaping this chapter to focus on her a little bit more. The other friends are gone and we see Scarlet and Camille bond over nerdy stuff, which let me show off Scarlet's obsessive tendencies that she's embarassed ...

Hey! I've got more preview pages to share with you all today. Sorry that the drawings are really light, hopefully it's legible enough to follow along with what's happening.
After the heavily altered intro from the last post, I tried to keep things pretty similar in this set of pages. The joke doesn't come across super well in these roughs but this first page is Edgar's friends doing a roulette wheel with customers and the current customer lands on a tile that says "must do a backf...

Hey guys! I bought our table for anime expo this year and I wanted to start off strong with a new print that I always wanted to do. I've been obsessed with Metroid and Samus again (i just recently read the metroid manga too) so I thought it would be a great first print to add to the new lineup.
Really really happy with how this one turned out! I struggled a lot to compose the background and tried a lot of things before stripping it down to the bare minimum but I think the textures and c...

Hey guys! Sorry that it's been a while.
I've gotten all the pages of chapter 4 teeeechnically set up but there's a lot of gaps and undrawn panels, so I can really only show the first 3 pages before there's missing information. I also put in my sketch page of the chapter's characters and their outfits. I felt like it would make more sense for Camille to have a wig to be in proper costume so that's a big visual change between versions. She doesn't actually wear normal clothes in thi...

hey everyone,
I thought I was going to be able to finish up more things before the year was over but work is really taking a lot out of me. I'm throwing together the wips I have and some of the sketches I've been posting on my other socials for you all just as a december roundup.
I've wanted to do a group pic of all of my characters I've created over the past few years and this tug of war was one of my concepts that I thought was silly and fun. It's cool to see my full roster of c...

drawing has been tough lately but I can at least churn out some mindless stuff that sparks joy! I drew this Scarlet to replace my phone background since I was getting tired of looking at the old one.
I really love Scarlet's final suit design and I want to build to that sooo bad but I'm stuck on chapter 4 in a bad art/writer's block... for now this will have to hold me over. I also think I overdid it on the size of her ponytail and it looks like her hair is just down but I think it's cut...

I figured I should collect my pics that haven't made it to the patreon yet. Lately I've been having a lot of fun trying to be ok with a rougher ink and mixing that with halftone shading in different ways, I think the results are neat! The rest of the doodles are just little meandering Scarlet scribbles.
It's been hard to get the willpower to draw after having shitty days at my new job so the art has slowed down significantly. I'm trying to kick my ass into gear and draw up an Intro to B...

Hey everyone! I know it's been forever since I posted something on here for you all. Work has been really taking a lot out of me lately so it's been really tough to get myself to draw anything. I felt like going back to this old pic I've had sitting in my WIP collection for a long time (remember Zelda month? haha) and I think it came out pretty sexy.
I drew this before TOTK came out and I remember giving Zelda long hair almost in defiance of her haircut from the trailer. I remember thin...

Not sure where this came from but I drew an Ivy as a warmup and ended up going crazy on this! I wanted to make it look like the SC2 character select with the teal smoke and I think it added a lot to this drawing.
Just tossing this out for patrons first! Not sure what's up next since my new job has been killing me lately so I'm at the whims of whatever pops into my mind that gets me to draw. So for now, see you next post!

I had this silly idea for a halloween comic a few days ago and wanted to knock it out early. I really missed drawing Yuka!! Ugh, I love her so much. It's always been a thing that Ren is a diehard Robin fucker, it's even her phone wallpaper in Weekend With Yuka (have you read it? you should go read it) and I've been thinking about drawing a Robin or Nami picture lately so this just sort of popped out of my mind from it all.
When I thought up Frankie's costume, it was going to be sooo fun...

Hey guys! I only have a few things to share at the moment as I've been on a bit of a cooldown after finished Red Muscle chapter 3. I've still been Red Muscle brained but I'm spending some time thinking about what I want to do with Scarlet from chapter 9 and onward til the end of the story.
This first image is a really late stage story thing so I won't spoil the specifics for you here (unless that's what the people want??) but I wanted to design a new suit for Scarlet that she woul...

Hey everyone! I finished up Red Muscle ch3 just now and thought it would be nice to put it up here for patrons before it goes up on itch. I'm really happy with how this turned out, it really feels worth it to go back to fix these old chapters when I can see the final product. Scarlet and Edgar have a lot more going on for their personalities and I think I punched up a lot of the humor! It really feels like a fun cartoon or early anime now and I hope the reading experience is better.

Hey y'all! quick little update for you:
I've been experimenting with tones and b&w drawings lately because I've been thinking about doing some comics without full color in the future to save time. It put me in the brain space to think about Red Muscle side stories that might be too sexual to put into the main comic but would still be fun for exploring Scarlet and Edgar's relationship.
I thought it would be cool to have Scarlet get into costume roleplay with Edgar (because she ...

hey y'all, it's been a minute since my last update on here. I'm still chipping away at Red Muscle ch3 and only have a few pages left before it's all done, but I haven't had much time to work on much else.
Mariel and I just sold at another convention a few weeks ago and I've been stewing on some new ideas for merch to make and I had this concept pop into my head of a cute girlie holding a tray and tongs and you would put pan dulce stickers all over the tray to customize it with your favo...

Hey everyone!
I'm sorry to say I don't have too much to share at the moment for new exclusive art for patreon, BUT I have been trying to work on some project in my free time to build out my portfolio a bit.
I started writing my design process for a Diablo/Gauntlet style game idea, starting with character designs! I've only gotten through the process for a Warrior and a Witch class so I'll be continuing to work on a few more of these. You can read about my process on cohost:

There's not too much time left before my next convention comes up and I've been so locked into drawing comics! I felt like I needed to unwind and draw something silly and also wanted to draw Yuka again. I had an idea for a while to do a cute bikini babe drinking water with some sort of silly messaging about staying hydrated and I guess it manifested as a faux magazine ad which was fun. I don't really know much in terms of graphic design but I've been slowly trying to get myself to pay more at...

I've got the last set of pages from Chapter 3 for you!
We get to the final fight scene of the chapter. I was always disappointed with my ability to draw action and make a fight look interesting (which I had tried practicing when I did the fight in chapter 7) and it was fun to take the opportunity to add a little more life to this one. The Guppies are pretty harmless and their fighting is played for jokes so I thought it would be good to make it funny when Scarlet beats them up. It's a s...

Hey everyone! I've got another set of Red Muscle pages here for you all.
This set of pages also has a good amount of changes from the old chapter. I wanted to use the gym room from chapter 6 more since I designed the general layout and felt like it would be good to use more. It felt more like a proper work day for them to go in there. The more important change, and maybe the part of this entire chapter I'm most satisfied with, is the way the conversation plays out between Scarlet and Ed...

It's August! I wanted to start the month with an art dump before I bombard you all with more Red Muscle pages. I want to make a more serious effort to learning how to use other styles that I like, and this sumo drawing was an attempt. It mostly came out very similar to how I always paint anyways so I'll just say it was an unsuccessful tests but maybe you'll still appreciate these barely clothed ladies.
I've also got some Scarlets from studying a model I stumbled upon who had really nice...

The month is almost up but I've got another set of sketch pages here!
It's time for Edgar to wake up, and his routine is now much less involved than before (which I think sets up against Scarlet well, he's just a bumbling guy that's taking it easy). I wanted Edgar to try to put a better effort into cohabitation with Scarlet and I thought him trying to prepare something for them to eat would be a fun addition. He's not good at it, which makes it more significant when he cooks Scarlet foo...

Hey guys! sorry for the silence on here for so long. It's been a crazy July so far, with Anime Expo and my birthday right in the first week I didn't really have much time to work on too many new drawings. I have more Red Muscle WIP pages to share with you all as I slowly chip away at this chapter. Again, each page will have it's old version next to it just for comparison's sake.
We come back to the scene of Ula taking off to attack Scarlet's "home base" but gets stuck in the tree. The b...

Hey guys! Anime Expo starts really soon but I figured I'd leave you with an update on how redrawing Red Muscle ch3 is going. I added a few things here and there in ch2 to flesh out character relationships but I think ch3 has a LOT of new stuff that's really building out Scarlet as a character and showing off her personality. I'm including the old pages for comparison.
In the first batch of pages, I made it clearer that Scarlet is really a goofy anime loving nerd that works in contrast t...

I have some more manga I want to recommend to everyone! These two don't really have anything in common but they're things I've started reading recently that really grabbed me for different reasons and I figured it was time to do another one of these posts.
First up is this really gentle romance story called The Blue Flowers and the Ceramic Forest, or Ao no Hana Utsuwa no Mori by Kodama Yuki.

Hey guys,
Sorry it's been a bit of a quiet month for me in terms of art. Just recently I've been picking back up my work on redrawing and fixing up Red Muscle chapter 3 and felt like it would be a good time to share where it's at just to have something to share before the month is over. These are the only pages I have at the moment with every panel filled out with a drawing in them. It's not much but I always like to show the changes between new and old pages.
