Friday night's 8PM stream is set and scheduled! Feel free to stop by and watch me HOPEFULLY finish the last two pages for the chapter before I bolden the linework and add dialogue!
We got sidetracked (as I do) and made an absolute gem of a comic. More people need to be aware of and learn the beauty of the Lorem language and this comic does just that XD. Hey, think of this as a "create your own story" story! Enjoy!

Only a few people know this, but over the weekend when I went to open the PSD file for CNMC, I discovered that the file was corrupted. So all of the work I did last week was GONE. But with the help of CasVA and MickelPickel, we took screenshots from last week's streams and were able to do the proper linework over those! So here's a preview of things to come!
This week I'll be streaming on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 8PM EST on YouTube unless something comes up. If there are any hi...

Streaming again tonight at 8! Hoping to finish the (character) linework and colors for at least 2 pages - no text dialogue will be shown on-stream. I wanna started posting completed pages this weekend!
Anyway feel free to stop on by!

Tonight at 8, I'll be continuing my doodles for CNMC. We got the sketches in so it's time to make them a little cleaner. Swing by if you're interested, or bored - I'd love to see you!
If YouTube acts up, please check my Picarto channel as that's my backup channel!

Weekday stream times are set - if you're bored at 8PM EST this week you're welcome to stop by my evening stream from tomorrow through Friday. Tomorrow's will be private, but either Thursday's or Friday's will be public.
Hopefully this time they'll be no more fires -_-. We're gonna pick-up the comic again so let's have a fun, relaxing early Christmas-y stream together!

Happy Friday! I have some art, some prints and a date night planned just for you so read on!
Cover Done!
The print version of the cover for "Christmas Needs More Cilantro" is finished! It took me a while to render it, but it was well worth it. Thank you Patrons for hanging out with me these past few days to finish it!

I'm off today and that means stream day!
The oil change is taking longer than expected so I’m pushing the first stream to 1PM. The second stream will begin at 7PM EST. Sorry for the delay, but you can never fully plan around life!
This will be a public stream hosted on my Picarto Channel and will focus on finishing the print and cover versions of this comic before we start working on t...

Nothin' to do tonite? Stop by the Cove while I finish the front and back cover of "Christmas Needs More Cilantro"! Might also draw rough sketches for a few pages depending on how fast I finish :3
If you can't stop by, no worries - the recording will still be available on YouTube!

Now that it's November, I'd to announce that I'll be working on a short comic for the holidays called, "Christmas Needs More Cilantro", where Nick is tasked with bringing Judy to Bogo's Christmas party after she ducks out after work. Judy and Nick bond over tales of their past Christmases while creating silly new ones together in this slice-of-life story that further builds their friendship / ambigous relationship XD.
The above cover is a rough draft that I'll build up over a st...

I dunno how we went from drawing scarves to creating a whole mini story about how Nick and Judy get their faces stuck in Dreamy Mode, but I'm not complaining! A little rusty, but I like the general idea! I wanna get back to drawing clean lines, but honestly this tells me that I might be good as a Story Board artist in the future - I could've continued on with this easily if I didn't want to also make something clean.
Speaking of "clean"! Here's what we'll be developing tonight!

Now that I've voted, gotten all $6000 worth of dental work done, got over my crown pain from yesterday and made that previous post, I'm ready to make some art! Here's some Nick sketches I did to warm myself up to drawing again. A little rusty, but I had a good time just re-acquainting myself with this guy.
You're invited to the Cove tomorrow night at 8:30 EST!
I'll be drawing... I dunno what, but you're more than welcome to come by the stream! 2020-10-29 03:40:21 +0000 UTC

Long time no see, guys! I really hope you’re doing well in your neck of the woods (and if it’s getting colder, get those fuzzy blankets out). October plans changed RAPIDLY after California, so I spent the majority of my time on real-world stuff + the animation course I took on the fly right when I got back so I've been VERY quiet, I know.
This is post is long overdue, and while some might not care for it, I think it’s important to make some changes to my Patron. W...

Danggit, I cannot get Youtube to work on this new channel! I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to puch it again until this weekend, when I originally planned to stream. I'll have both a Sat and Sun stream starting sometime between 9 and 11am EST. Feel free to swing by!
Here's my new, empty Youtube channel. Maybe YOU guys can make it work XD

I found out that Youtube needs me to wait 24hrs after account verification before I can stream, so I'll have to postpone to TOMORROW at 9PM EST via my new channel - sorry, guys!
But I WAS meaning to share some studies I'd done before I left! Not technically Zoot, but the studies are extremely beneficial and help me draw better in the end!

It's FALL!
Here's a little piece I finished last night for my friends Mick and Cas, who commissioned me on a little comic called Tagalong a few-ish years ago! First version is the wallpaper version (1920 x 1080) just for you and the version with my logo. And for those who use Photoshop, I've included the PSD as a little goodie. Next time I'll need to record the timelapse because it looked very different in the beginning!

The results of the Sunday stream! Lots of randomness, but lots of good talks. I love how sketch Nick turned out (bottom left), and the color study was...an attempt XD. But I looove the Nick and Judy backpacks!

Didn’t realize how badly I needed that break! But let’s get back to work... with a stream on Sunday! I’ll be turning my mic on to chat while I draw, eat grapes, and talk about how one three-day event may have been the final deciding factor in my Disney dreams. Will also share some [concept] art I happened to find from the actual creatives who worked on the film!
Join me if you’d like @ 2PM Eastern on Sunday! Will be streaming on Picarto unless plans change. See you t...

Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by for a commish, and thank you kindly to those who visited my streams to watch the progress! I'm gonna take a breather for a week or so since I have a three-day art event to attend starting Friday. So no streams (might do one Monday though).
When I come back I'll be moving to my animatics!

I'm moving tonight's stream to 9PM since I went over by 2 hours today. While you wait, have some doodles from the past 2 streams!
Storytime!
Doodle 1: I was having trouble with my last commission in which I'm drawing a bat, and while I got two solid figures I was having problems with a frontal shot. As always, [feral] Judy was used to voice my frustrations.
Doodle 2: After the file saved last night, I woke up to find the file...corrupted. It wouldn't open. I tr...
