"Come with me to the dance floor,"

"You and me,"

"Cause that's what it's for!"

Haptic Art

I've been testing a workflow lately and decided to try an illustration with my Proto OC Haptic fighting some monsters.

Art - "Fletching" (Lineless Art)

I changed a lot just out of curiosity -- I also really wanted to push for something interesting. I got rid of one of the creatures just because I felt it distracted the character's form a bit too much.

I thought about getting rid of the other, but I really liked the idea of having at least one light-doggo, haha. The result is one character being much, much lighter than the other, so I hope it isn't too distracting by itself :P

Lineless Art - WIP

Creating some more lineless art out of boredom.

Art -- Boot Test

"I think it's turning on!"

WIP -- ??? (3)

Making some surprisingly speedy progress on the coloring / painting.

WIP -- ??? (2)

Three friends wait in anticipation as they begin a boot-test on a Protogen they've recovered, built, and programmed after discovering an old ship-wreck.

Protogen ideas -- war (+ small update)

Hey. I've decided I'm going to keep the Patreon going, for now. Thanks for the input and advice, I really, genuinely appreciate it a lot. <3

I sketched a couple more ideas for drawings today-- something that was spurred on from listening to Halo soundtracks. So the influence should be fairly obvious, haha.

The first depicts some jetpack-dudes. The second is a Protogen taking down a much larger foe w/ a knife and some natural agility. I might finish them both, who knows.

WIP -- ???

I still don't know what I'm going to do with the Patreon. Not feeling good. In the meantime, here's an idea I sketched.

Considering shutting down the Patreon

Hey everyone. It's taken me a while to grow comfortable with posting this, but as the title suggests, I'm considering shutting down the Patreon. There's a few reasons for this which I hope are somewhat understandable.

The first is that, most of the time when I'm thinking about this place, I'm stressed. I don't think I do an adequate job at providing accurate updates as to what I'm actually doing, and I haven't had the motivation or incentive to create better rewards for you or anyone el...

Small Storyboard Project

Alright. I redrew some frames and added small details to other parts (and "shaded" the beginning). I might shade the rest of the figures at another time to make the poses more readable, but honestly, I like things how they are for now ^^

It's definitely over-animated for a storyboard, but it was still fun to do.

Small Storyboard Project -- [WIP]

Hey ya'll. I managed to finish this short action storyboard in 4 days-- but there's still some parts of it I'd like to smooth out before I release it anywhere else. Hopefully you find it interesting.

Explorer

Alright, so, yeah, this one took me a while and quite a bit of effort lol

Hope you like this painterly style-- I think it turned out pretty well!

WIP art -- "explorer"

Gonna color this tomorrow, most likely. I did some grey-scale in the meantime to test out some lighting. ^^

Special Find

Lee & Sparrow doing some scavenging.

WIP art -- "special find"

post-apocalyptic coyote girl

Comic "Hyn" page (?)

I'm trying, but I'm honestly not very confident. Here's a page I managed to finish. 

Snowball

Hey, look. There he is lol

Sorry I'm not updating the WIPs in a more detailed manner. Life is pulling me around.

WIP art -- snowball

the ball

Storyboard / Animatic side-project progress

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates. I've been a bit busy with some part time work, and I've also been reevaluating my time somewhat. I do want to keep working on the comic as well as new illustrations, I'm just sorta figuring out how to get a better foothold.

Part of that has been testing a work-schedule with this storyboard you may or may not recognize from several months ago. I completed the above sequence recently-- synced to "Indy's Very First Adventure" ^^ 

I'd love...

Comic Update -- "Hyn"

So for what it's worth, I figured I'd reveal some pre-production things that I've been experimenting with for the next comic, "Hyn."

"Hyn" (the third comic of the series I'm working on) is a follow up of the antagonist from Breaking the Mold, just like Ghosts was a follow up of Wesley. All this pre-production stuff is part of what I want to do differently going forward, as the last comic didn't have a pre-production stage or anything like that. 

So far, I've made character co...
