Video Collab with Rogue (my editor)! :D

Go check out this fun collab I was in with Rogue Lion, the person who brings us the editing magic that is Betrothed: The Series, from last week! Chaos and chuckles ensue - but what else do you expect from a mischievous hyena co-host? XD

Rehema... you ARE the father! (I mean, we already knew that, but now everyone in comic knows too.  Though "everyone" here is Taka, Mufasa, and Sarabi.)

Do I sense a storytime coming up?

I'm my own colorist for this page. Just felt like it really. XD

I Get Interviewed! Plus New Series Announcement!

My buddy AshWolf-Forever has a video dropping tomorrow! I'm in it and we've got some news! Also, you guys know Ash a bit. She colors pages of Brothers for me. 

Here's a hint at the news: Lions and cheetahs are involved. ;)

I just saw the first look this morning of Episode 6 of Betrothed: The Series, and I think it's amazing!! RogueLion has outdone himself once again with his magical editing powers and really brought this to life!  View Post

Saka Sefu - OC Evolution #2

The Patreon Pride has spoken (see attached poll results image)! Saka is in the spotlight this time!

What is OC Evolution? Basically, I'll grab some old versions of art/designs from an OC of mine (the older the better) and put them for comparison with the newest version/drawing of them that I've done.

Who is Saka? The second entry in this series is Saka. Aka "Saka Sefu" ...

What character should I post as the next OC Evolution post?

Help me decide who the next OC of mine will be featured in this series I started with my very old OC zebra. Who's next? ^^

EDIT: The winner!

Mufasa, are you trying to drop hints? XD Also, who thinks that Taka definitely knows who Rehema is and is just suspicious and/or is hesitant to say anything about it directly?

Rehema... you're really pulling that honor card hard. Zuko (ATLA) would be proud. LOL

Side note, Mufasa's not wrong. Sarabi and he were separated in real time (not comic t...

I'm on Tumblr!

Just in case anyone is still on the zombified website that is Tumblr, feel free to look me up!

I don't post there too often, but when I do, I'll try to make it worth your while. ;) (Possibly gonna try to use it for throw-back Thursday posts where I'll churn up something from a while back and bring it forward to cringe at, admire, scratch our heads about, or laugh at - possibly all of those things. XD)

Zareb the Zebra - OC Evolution #1

This is part of a little, unscheduled series I'm going to be posting. :) 

Basically, I'll grab some old versions of art/designs from an OC of mine (the older the better) and put them for comparison with the newest version/drawing of them that I've done. 

The first entry in this series is Zareb (and yes, it does spell "zebra" if you mix it up, though it allegedly means "protector" in Swahili). He's my zebra stallion who makes an appearance in my story 2021-04-10 05:07:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Taka seems to raise some good points. And also we get a few mentions about previous events. (Laying out the talk balloons here was a chore, so I HOPE it all reads correctly. If something seems off or confusing, let me know and I'll try to fix it up.)

Rehema has some words of guidance for Taka (look at him being a dad and stuff!) and Sarabi tells Sanaa what's what. C'mon - we all wanted to see it. Did she let our ch...

More Livestreams Coming SOON!

I realized recently how much I miss and am nostalgic for regular livestreams. I used to do them all the time years ago (on the now-mostly-gone Livestream site) and I loved interacting with (and singing badly with) my friends and fans. Let's do it again!

Thanks to you guys, my Patreon Pride, I bought myself a year's worth of Picarto premium - which means I get to do all kinds of cool stuff like: record and keep my streams (perfect for sp...

We have POWER!!

My dearest Patreon Pride, 

We have electricity in our house once again! I'm making up for some lost time (and also scratching a major itch since I had to put most of my art on hold during the 13+ days we were without power). I hope you're ready for some exciting things coming your way soon!

Also THANK YOU for your support! Last month's earnings are going to go toward some repairs from the inclement weather that caused the outtage in the first place - and help us put the mess ...

Power Outtage

UPDATE: Now they're saying they have NO projected time for when we'll get power back. We'll do our best to hang in there a bit longer. :(

Just giving you guys a heads up. I've been without power at my home since Friday night and it looks like it'll be that way for the foreseeable future. They were saying they might have power back by Tuesday night but I feel like a miracle needs to happen first. 

I'll be offline for a while longer to conserve my phone's batte...

Does Taka know who Rehema is? (I mean... it is a bit like looking in a mirror, or - er - a water reflection. ^^; ) Regardless, can our dark rogue help straighten out Taka's cheetah troubles?

Now, Sanaa seems to be playing the "innocent" card. Will it work? Mufasa seems almost too ready to believe her. Or has this happened before with Taka lashing out at the Prideland denizens? And who in the last panel seems to have gotten ...
