Not the best ink drawing, but I did this on the road... unfortunately, travel makes it hard to do art.

Chapter 3.05

I've been trying to get more backgrounds in my comic. It's easy to fall back on old habits, like avoiding backgrounds, but if I'm going to improve I need to keep pushing to do things like backgrounds.

Inktober 2018 - Day 1

Inktober has started, so that means that I'm going to attempt to do an ink drawing every day and probably fail. But at least if I fail, I attempted something.

Here's day 1. I decided to go easy on myself and do a little wizard hat.

I'm not trying to follow any specific list this year, but I am trying to make comic related art.

Chapter 3 - Cover

Hey guys! It's been a hot minute since I last updated my comic. The planning stage takes a while.

I'm thinking of updating my patreon tiers soon. I'm sure it's no surprise to you that I'm terrible at updating patreon, but I think if I organize things a little differently, it may be easier to keep up with updates.

The first update I'm going to make to tiers is having an early page access to the comic. The rest of it I'm still trying to figure out, but I'll be sharing that update once I st...

Trees

Hey everyone! I've been trying to get back into the swing of things since finishing up my anthology, and one of the things I decided to do was take some 'me' time to work on something completely unrelated.

So, I painted some trees!

I have a lot of art supplies that I tend to ignore, so in the spirit of trying not to waste things anymore, I used up some paper that I just had lying around, got some gouache and watercolor paints, and tried out some ink. These are the results!

My goal ...

Matcha!!

I've been playing with this design for a little bit! It's not anywhere near done but I've been thinking about how this could be either an enamel pin or a sticker.

A lot of my free time is spent working on a variety of comic projects, but sometimes I get a little time to do something more fun like this!

Toivo enamel pin design

I’ve been playing around with an enamel pin design based off of Toivo. This isn’t the final design, but until I make concrete plans to make this, I probably won’t be finishing the colors. I’m hoping to make this sometime this year, though!!

If there’s any other ideas for pin designs, feel free to let me know. I’m thinking about doing a dragon one next.

Teen Toivo

I’ve been playing dungeons and dragons with Toivo lately, so I drew what he looks like in game. This ALSO happens to be what he looked like around the age of 19. Will it be brought up in comic? Maybe.

Top webcomics incentive 1

I put my comic on top webcomics dot com to see if I could drum up a little bit of new readership through it. It’ll probably take a while to get that going but this is one of the voting incentive pictures I did for it!

Side Hustles

Some of you may know that I was accepted into a comic anthology recently. I’m still in the early stages, but I’m hard at work getting the thumbnails ready so I can just focus on making the pages when it comes to it.

Zine: I Broke My Arm

In 2015, I slipped on some ice and broke my drawing arm (only 3 years after breaking my non-dominant arm). Determined to keep drawing, I started drawing with my left hand, and later compiled all the early drawings into this zine.

Inktober 2017: day 1
