I had been struggling to design some Tekken stickers for the past month, and I realised why I was struggling: I was going about it all wrong! Rather than just drawing characters doing poses, I opted to design these stickers with the mindset of "designed by a Tekken fan *for* Tekken fans". So, many of these are nods to various aspects of Tekken's lore, much of which is light-hearted in nature.
I only plan to design a few of these, but if folks really like them, I'll add to the set! If ...

Bandit Revolver finally resumes again! Thank you for your patience!
Now that we know Prompto's packing heat, Noct shifts his ire towards that--how did Prompto acquire that firearm, anyway?
Next page drops Monday!

Hey, guys! I thought I'd let you know what's going on:
*Bandit Revolver: Updates will be resuming by this weekend--thank you for your patience as I've been working on getting these pages completed! As of this writing, 3.11 and 3.12 are ready for editing, with 3.13-3.15 in the finishing stages with its rendering! I'm going to once again make this a priority in order to widen the gap between public and patron editions.

Hey, guys! The charms for Modern!Tails and Amy Rose have now arrived, and will be available for preorder starting July 30!
A sticker set will also be in the works, which will be using the same artwork as the charms--and will be completely free and exclusive to Patreon supporters! More details will come in the next progress report!

But if you're feeling shameless, or daring, you can download the 600dpi scan of this illustration. It's a little larger than life-sized.

Hey, guys. I'm so sorry to do this (again). I've been struggling and struggling, and I just can't force it. I'm delaying the next batch of Bandit Revolver pages for late July.
I had hoped I wouldn't have to, but the past several days have been very stressful for me. There's been a lot going on at my day job (which resulted in a mental breakdown), anxiety-induced insomnia (caused by the aforementioned job), the stress from my car repair situation...it's made it very difficult for me to...

Hey, guys! So I completely forgot to share the finished artwork for the Tails and Amy Rose charms! They are currently in production and will be available in July!
Tails has been requested--and was always planned to be added to the set! Amy Rose has been added to the set as I ran a poll on twitter (it was between her, Dr. Eggman, Silver the Hedgehog, and Metal Sonic!)!
There's more to come, too: All patrons in the $5 tier and above will receive a sticker set of the Moder...

So, tentatively speaking, the next batch of pages should drop the week of June 28th. Ideally I'd like to get the next five pages out, but realistically it may be three pages--there's a lot going on in my personal life that may make it difficult for me to put time into rendering the next batch. However, I will not work myself to the point of burnout to get these renders done--if I can only get the three ready, then that's what I'll bring, and I'll work on the remaining pages at my own pa...

Hey guys! I figured now was as good a time as any to start rolling out updates for my original comic "Pretty Fierce"! Although I had intended for this to be monthly, I've decided *at minimum* these updates will drop once a month, but some months may yield more updates than others. I'm saying this because I've begun layouts on the comic as well as finalised character art, which may drop closer to the end of the month (though when I will post them is contingent on when the next pages of Bandit ...

Hey, y'all! So, I wanted to let you guys know what my comic plans are from here on out:
BANDIT REVOLVER: Obviously this will continue to be priority. I will try my best to update twice a month. As much as I'd like to take a break from this, realistically it's just not possible with my current work schedule.
I'm also drafting some side stories for Bandit Revolver that will be released at a much later time (2023). I'll be posting progress--largely page roughs--abo...

Okay, so--this is where it's revealed that Prompto was essentially sandbagging himself. While he was certainly careless, he's not incapable of defending himself (as earlier scenes in this episode suggested.). So, why would he try to sandbag himself to Noct?
Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this batch of pages! The next round--pages 11-13--will drop later this month. Please look forward to it, and other updates this month! ♥

Poor Prompto is desperately trying to not get that smack upside his head. Also, I'll let y'all decide if he actually was audacious enough to attempt to ask Noct out. Noct is seriously not having any of whatever Prompto is throwing at him.

Hello, lovely patrons! I'm going to start creating one of a kind original artwork with my traditional media tools! I don't often ask in my public platforms--and I won't--but I will ask you lovely folks:
What would you like to see me draw? I can't guarantee that I'll draw everything suggested, but if I'm vibing with the suggestion, I'll absolutely run with it! If you've ever wondered "It'd be rad if Shadi drew Sailor Moon, or Metal Gear, or Tekken (haaaaaa)~!"

Is it possible to have a jumpscare in a comic? Prompto certainly did (and he's quite good at dodging; OOF!)!
Thanks for bearing with me as I got these updates out! I will have more pages out by the end of this month (this is guaranteed as I have a few in the rendering states as of this writing!).

Prompto continues exploring some of the Insomnia ruins in an area known as "The Fracture". It's essentially the areas affected by the incident ten years ago that leveled the Crown City.
I hadn't intended to keep the graffiti in the last two panels, BTW, but you see vulgar graffiti like that in abandoned places all the time...^_^;

The episode opens on Prompto as he engages in his hobby: urban exploration! I myself am fascinated by urban exploration (I am unable to do it, so I live vicariously through Youtube), and with some of Insomnia still in ruins, I couldn't help but implement this into over the next few pages. Please enjoy, and tune in tom...

There's A LOT of mistakes I made on this cover, mistakes that I didn't notice until I was nearly done with the colouring. (´・ω・`) I probably won't redo this cover--largely because I literally don't have time, so please forgive the mistakes and enjoy the episode!

I'm also working on Modern!Tails and Amy Rose, who will round out this first set (hopefully these two will arrive in time for the June release, too!)!
These charms are roughly 3 inches (give or take a few centimeters), and are double-sided!

Hey, guys! So, I thought I'd share another update with y'all on what's going on. Things have been a little rough on my end--my car broke down, and while I thought initial repairs had done the trick, it broke down again shortly afterwards, so until I can get enough money to repair it, I'm at the mercy of Uber.
On top of that, things at my day job have only become more stressful, to the point that it's affecting my health. I've been experiencing chest pains and slight numbness in one of...

I'm really pleased with how the charm turned out! It's just shy of 3 inches, and on clear acrylic. I made Tail's, well, tails translucent at the top to give a sense of movement! I'll be adding these to my shop once Modern!Sonic and Modern!Shadow arrive!
