Bernie the Badger #11 "Go Fish" - May 10, 2019

Another strawberry. Another chance for sweet, sweet victory. Too bad nature always seems to have other ideas. This time, the culprit that thwarts Bernie's attempt at a little red treat is cold and slimy. And also kinda dumb, apparently.

Silly carp - fish don't eat berries!

Bernie the Badger #10 "In A Pinch" - May 3, 2019

Mr. Raven makes his first appearance - and just in time to see Bernie has finally found himself another strawberry.

Yoink!

Fun fact: Ravens will "pinch" tails and butts to distract animals just long enough for them to steal a scrap. The more you know...?

Just One - Doctor Strange

Finally some personal art! And fanart to boot! This was so much fun to paint!  Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange is just awesome! "Doctor Strange" is one of my favorites from the MCU, and every appearance he makes just makes my inner True Believer (Marvel fan) leap with happiness! It was about time I got around to painting him. My reasons for painting him are detailed (kinda) below, but there be spoilers for End Game ahead! Ye be warned!  

WARNING: End Game Spoilers below....

Ever have those moments when you just wanna chill with a bowl of kale and your favorite nuts, but something just... interrupts you right. as. you. get. settled?

Ever have one of those moments when you wanna watch your favorite show, but you just. can't. quite. reach. the. remote?

It's a known fact that one of the most dangerous animals in Africa is the cape buffalo. One ton of pure muscle and mad coming at you full speed? Two words: No thanks.

A couple little facts about the buffalo when they're threatened:  They will circle back on threats, and it's been reported that wounded buffalo will continue to fight back - even ambushing whatever tried to hurt them or their herdmates. They are relentless to threats, especially when calves are present, and don't give...

Bernie the Badger #9 "Bear on the River" - Mar. 27, 2019

Mr. Bear is facing a very difficult decision... but it might not be as big or as difficult as he thinks. 

Bernie - stop showing up the forest folk, already!

What does a herd of Brachiosaurus do on the weekend? Go to the local tree nursery for a pine and tree-tasting, of course! (There may or may not be references here to a certain "snob" culture... LOL)

Characters in this strip (named only): "Gampa" Rigg (far-right; dusty-gold, old Brachiosaurus), Brecky (farthest-right; yellow)

Who Am I? [Video]

My YouTube channel has officially launched with this video! 

Now that we're formally introduced, (assuming you watched the video....  did you...? O.o) I'd love to know what you think of my first video and  also how YOU got your start on the interwebz, where your username comes  from (or tell me the weirdest, most unimaginative, most regrettable,  coolest, or silliest name you've had)!

I worked on a motion comic...

Welcome to BATS, BATS, EVERYWHERE! It's a non-profit fan project based in the G.I. Joe fanverse! :D

 I did the inks, some colors, and provided a voice to help bring this (massive) project to life. A shout out to everyone who helped make this a reality and to the people who welcomed me to the team! You guys did great work! Hail Cobra!

Meet the llamas, making their first comic appearance here. Hoity and Toity. I'll leave you to guess which is which. 

 Also, it's been officially revealed that the Fuzzles live on a llama  farm! :D (Maybe the "Fuzzles" is the secret llama society? Hmmm...) More  shenanigans will follow, you can count on it.

Brothers - Page 88 - HD

Hekima proves to be a valuable addition to the negotiation team and puts Baya in her place - but for how long?

And Taka... what in the WORLD has gotten you so worried?! First you're running like mad and climbing up rocks, and now you're climbing down rocks and running somewhere again! 

Whatever it is, that head-on with Mufasa looks super painful. >.<

Taka is in hot pursuit and looks like he arrived just in time to see some rather aggressive negotiations. (SW reference XD). 

And oh my goodness, I've been waiting so long (years, in fact) to get to this moment so I could introduce you guys to the invading hyena matriarch... Baya! Her name means "wicked in Swahili", but is she really so bad? Well...

And yes that is a lion skin throw rug Baya's laying on. She was Pule (...

Bernie the Badger #8 "Mistaken Identity" - Feb. 8, 2019

Which Comic Strip Do You Enjoy Most?

I've got 3 comic strips running here. Granted they haven't been going for very long, but I'd like to get some early feedback to compare for later when things get more established. :) This is my first Patreon poll, bear with me. And if you can leave a comment here, feel free.

 And so Uru and Ahadi head out (on what seems like it'll be anything but a romantic outing) leaving Mufasa and Taka to King Khalfani's care. Rafiki and Hekima go along as extra help for the impending negotiations. But how does one negotiate with a poacher? Or a clan of poachers for that matter? Time will tell...

Introducing Hekima! Rafiki's teacher/mentor and one of Uru's friends. While Hekima doesn't appear by mention or otherwise in "Betrothed", what happened between her and Uru is illustrated here in this piece by Rasgonras.

Spoiler Alert! Brothers Character Reveal

I've been waiting to show her off since 2014 . . . 

Meet Baya - or... you WILL meet Baya in page 87 of Brothers. She's mean and nasty and everything stereotype that the hyenas come to be associated with. This lovely lady went through at least 3 concept designs (at least one of which I may post later for comparison if I can find the sketches) and personality changes toward becoming the mean 'yeen that she will be in the comic. If you're seeing this before page 87 is posted, thank yo...

Hekima - Brothers Character Concept Sketches

Sneak peek at what's coming in page 84 of Brothers! Meet Hekima. She is a very old baboon, but don't let her age fool you. She's almost as spry as she used to be (and is a might bit spicy too).

Popcorn - Ref Sheet (Fuzzles)

Meet Popcorn: Like his namesake, Popcorn is light, fluffy, and full of bouncy energy. (He's also slightly addictive if you like cute things.) The little guy always means well, but his innocence and nativity sometimes lead him into trouble - or let him be led into trouble. 

View Post

Nimby - Ref Sheet (Fuzzles)

Meet Nimby: Nimby might just be the best-behaved pup of the bunch. Not because he's worried about his reputation, but more that he's a little frightened of trying new things and going on adventures. This is something that his friend Loki takes full advantage of.

Bernie the Badger #6 "Bearly a Picnic" - Dec. 28, 2018

Bernie chose the "investigate picnic basket" option for his "choose your own adventure" story. Must have been something tasty in there for a badger to look so pleased with himself. But uh-oh... Seems that someone else may have also been interested... maybe this is the start of a... friendship...?

Loki - Ref Sheet (Fuzzles)

Meet Loki: Named after the Norse god of mischief of the same name, Loki is a trouble-maker extraordinaire. If she's not playing with the other pups, she's hatching her latest scheme (even if she only plans it for 15 seconds).
