Mermaid finished!

I decided to keep it a little more minimal, but I did add a few gradients after I uploaded the last version.

Little Mermaid, but make her terrifying.

I'm really conflicted! Part of me wants to "finish" this and keep going with the shading and whatnot. Part of me wants to leave it alone and let the line work speak for itself. Hm. I might have to think about it.

Mermay in progress!

I was in the mood to draw a mermaid, so here we go! I started out planning to make a betta fish mermaid, and she kind of turned out looking like an angry version of the Little Mermaid, soooo that's where this is going. And titties out, because mermaid.

Redlining for Raeven!

I asked for some images people wanted input on last week, and if you have something you'd like me to give you feedback on, let me know! Still taking submissions for that! Shan sent me an image too, but that'll be a bit more involved, so I'll get to it when I'm home from vacation :).

Raeven sent me this image of a mermaid, and wanted some ideas for the arms and hands, with a sort of kelp effect. (I think I ended up drawing seaweed, actually oops.)

Oh man, we are sooooo close to being done with this flashback/exposition for Connie and on to the chaser to cleanse us of that evil temporarily.

Anyone interested in redlining?

Hey folks, I've got a bit of time before my trip this month, so is anyone interested in having me redline their artwork for them? Meaning, you have a drawing or sketch or something, and would like me to draw over it with some suggested improvements. It can be either specific issues you're having trouble with, or I can just offer some general pointers that I see (anatomy, line of action, etc.) 

Totally volunteer basis, I'll just keep it here on Patreon, and any tier can volunteer. I think ...

Commission for Toni

Developing backgrounds and side characters!

Sorry it took me awhile to get anything out that isn't comics this month, but Raeven brought this topic up, and it's something I actually have some thoughts I can expand on, so here we go! Let's see if I can keep said thoughts organized.

So, like I've mentioned in a few other posts, I try not to get too bogged down in developing every character right off the bat. I generally want characters to have a purpose to the story, and in this case, the story is "Malaya is a werewolf learning to be a we...

Call for post topic ideas!

Hey folks, since I'm updating here already, is there an idea for an essay-type post you'd like to see? I did worldbuilding last time, and that took awhile, but it was fun. I don't know what people are interested in, so toss some ideas at me and I'll see what catches my attention. Writing uses a totally different part of my brain than drawing, so sometimes it's easier to find space for that than more artwork :p

Commission in progress!

Still trying to ramp up my life after C2E2, but I've been working on this commission for Toni of her macaw/harpy character. I like how it looks so far! Now I just have to ink all those feathers lol

Let's talk about world building!

Hey folks! I'm working on drawing the pages for...next next next next week? I have 8 pages in various stages right now, but my brain hates focusing today, so I figured I'd write another totally unplanned, off-the-cuff writing essay. We'll see what happens! I don't plan things much, or I'd never get them done.


So let's talk world building! It's complicated! Here's the deal: I planned very little of HTBAW before I started writing. I knew if I sat down and figured out all the tiny deta...
