This one will likely become a print, so it has to be painted beyond the margins of the normal comic page edges~ It would make a nice companion to the one I have irl of Ravi :)
This one: (edit: lmao I forgot to put up the picture)
The last page of the book will be this lovely illustration of Arka that would make a beautiful print ///
Just a bit more to go!! aaaa

look at this lol. I love when a moment in a page accidentally becomes really funny lmao
I promise the rest of this is explicit 'not totally played for laughs' smut lol
it was quite hard to choreograph the first panel but I think it looks great :)

Thanks for your patience everyone :) (The password is on the pinned post for Patrons at the top of my Patreon page). I pulled a tendon in my hand from overexertion (I do hand stretches regularly, but sometimes you move in an unexpected way where you hurt yourself) and it's been feeling bad for a few weeks but it's feeling better now.
Here's a rundown of the other stuff I uploaded / have been up to lately:...

Next: The Void Calls page 2, along with the rest of The Void Calls and Guardian of the Forest, then The Ritual and the book is done!! :D
After I finish The Void Calls page 2, I'll upload the next batch of finished pages onto the Archive :) More details in an upcoming text post~

now with background~ got to love those satiny sheets ///
stylizing the blood because I liked how it looked in The Wolf. I know how to render blood realistically, but for the sake of both style and time, I think this is a good compromise :)

Biting and scratching and all manner of fun vicious things.
Notes: The dripping from Verus' 'head' is wetness not c*m, Arka however is coming inside him ;) The lines that aren't inked are part of the background - they're in Verus' bedroom. Probably finishing this one and Sanguine 1 tomorrow :)

it really rustles the divine scholars jimmies when arka runs on all fours like that lol
and with that, Zelandia is over! Now I'm going to work on inking these and the two pages of Sanguine, and doing more of The Void Calls. Lastly, the final story of Skyset Knights 1, Guardian of the Forest, where we learn who Arka's parents were and of their fate..... :o
Also, if you see any of the characters' outfits changing mid-scene, that's because 1. I wanted to see them in a different outfi...

Hand axe bandit and hawk bandit versus swordless swordsman, featuring owl! I watched Princess Mononoke in preparation for Arka'a backstory and the 'the natural world is grand, beautiful, and terrifying as it is home to monsters and gods' vibe lol.
Really capturing the feel of the page with the darkness on panel 4 /// I had to work on something else this week but now I am switching back to comics - so I'm sketching out the last two pages of Zelandia now, then I'll be inking Sanguin...

look at how cute Arka is :)
design notes: I poke fun at him looking cute and harmless but in all seriousness one thing they got right with Ardbert is that, when he holds his axe, his silhouette screams 'executioner'*. An axe just says 'something is getting chopped off or cleaved in half' in a way that a sword doesn't. I think that's why almost every Fire Emblem bandit has an axe. It's an evil weapon befitting of henchmen and monster hunters lol
* I know what he did.

A remix of the mythology of the changeling as metaphor for neurodivergence :) I rewrote this post explaining my choices on this page several times, but I think the writing and art might speak for itself.
TL;DR, I'm autistic, so is Arka, and this is one of three pages confirming it in canon.
also: there's a smart bit of wordplay on this page ;)

Now the cover is finished :) ...Because I drew the final version of Set's design! He was originally in a placeholder outfit on the cover, but now I have written exactly what he will do in their guild / in the story so check out his new design!
He is wearing drawing gloves, as a tribute to his status as one of my oldest ocs and the oldest example of my art style :) (its be...

2022-09-16 03:22:50 +0000 UTC View PostAs I am working on Dog Training page 1, I'm restarting my computer so Photoshop can run better lol - and I'd like to take this opportunity to show you guys a little bit of what goes into making a Skyset Knights page!
SCRIPT
For this page, a few passes of script were written. This short story is 8 pages, and I wanted something with BDSM, petplay, and some humorous elements to contrast with the intense stimulation and edging. This page is as follows, you might remember how many mont...
2022-09-15 03:12:30 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone! Just letting you know what I've been up to - let's get right to it! :)
Right now there is a campaign running to fund development time and the printing of Skyset Knights 3: The Divine and The Cursed. Check it out here!: bit.ly/skyset3
reminder that some of the stories like this one in Skyset Knights are safe for work and might just be only funny or cute - there will be erotic stuff after, don't worry :)
By the way, Arka's adolescent stage is absolutely cursed, lol. he looks like one of those bootleg dreamworks knockoff movie characters.
redrew a bit of Celestin on the last page sketch of this section because he's supposed to be in his 20's when Arka was little :)

Arka was a funny little creature when he was a hatchling :) This was 30 years ago so Celestin is 20-something here.
