Ep 178 preview 2

👀 hmmm

This episode is more focused on Mucku ;)

I hope the art still look all right! It’s a bit sketchier but it’s helping me get the episodes finished on time 👍

Ep 178 preview

Kappa’s doing great 😎👍

Next week I’m going to my best friend’s wedding so I’ll probably post another preview of this episode!

Ep 177 preview

The sketchy lineart has really helped me get work done on time so I’m feeling a lot better about staying on schedule 👍

Ep 176 preview 2

Uh ohhh.

Can’t believe I finally got to make this episode :) can’t wait for you guys to read!

I’m hoping the final season will be ready to launch by June but the return date is up to webtoon.

ECCC 2025

Thank you to everyone who came to see me and got a book! It was so much fun! 🥰

I didn’t get a lot of pictures so I stole a few screenshots from Ten Speed’s instagram. Friday I did my first ever panel with Purpah! I was terrified but I think it went very well 😂 and Saturday I wandered around in my lobster outfit. It was SO HOT with all the bodies around, I got very sweaty and had to go home and shower at one point.

There was an artist at one booth who drew a portrait of...

Ep 176 preview

I can only finish part of the episode this week because I’ll be at ECCC starting tomorrow! So I’ll have another preview to share next week.

I’ve been averaging about two episodes a month lately which just isn’t gonna cut it on the webtoon schedule so I decided to make some changes. Previously I was doing a full sketch layer and then a polished lineart layer on top.

I’ve decided, starting with this episode, I will just clean up the sketch and use the sketch layer as the...

Ep 175 preview2

Was rushing to get a few episodes colored and turned in this week so here’s more panels from 175!

ECCC signings and panel

Hi guys, here’s my schedule for ECCC! I’ll be doing my first panel and I’m a little nervous but I’ll be up there with Purpah the creator of suitor armor so she will give me strength 💪

If you get the chance to attend ECCC I would love to see you! If not I will try to attend more events in the future! :) (also I’ll be handing out more postcards and stickers!)

Ep 175 preview

Guys I had suuuuch an awesome cliffhanger planned for this episode but it ended up being too many panels so I had to move it to the next episode and settle for a less interesting cliffhanger 😩

This episode and the next one are scenes I’ve planned for so many years and I’m finally drawing them 😎

Bird Boy Test Page

Sorry for the late post. I worked on this today to get a feel for how I want the bird boy comic to look.

I really like the more detailed line art but I’m not sure how I wanna handle the colors yet.

I also toned down Mouse’s fluffy hair lol.

Valentine’s Day animation 💘

Did something a little different this year. Hope you like ;)

I only had today to draw this up so I wanted to do something a little less polished and I’ve been wanting to try low effort animation for a while lol.

BB Sketches feb 8

Just wanted to sketch mouse a little since I haven’t drawn him in a while.

Ep 174 preview

This episode has the first big reveal in this season. There will be a lot of ‘reveals’ lol.

Also I was a bit frustrated with how long it was taking and I realized it was because there are ten characters in a room talking to each other so it’s just a lot more to draw.

I used to split up episodes based on panels and tried to get a certain number of panels drawn a day but I’ve realized that some panels take way longer than others because there are more characters. So now I ...

Distraction sketch

Sorry for the lack of an update last week! Here’s a little sketch I did of the boys ;)

Last week I was scrambling to get some episodes colored and uploaded before the month rolled over so I could get paid lol.

Ep 173 preview 3

I’m traveling this week for a bachelorette party so I don’t have much to show but I wanted to post a few more panels. Hope you’re all staying warm 💖

BB sketches Jan18

I woke up with a cough so I’m willing myself not to be sick. Here’s some birbs 🪶

Ep 173 preview 2

Kappa practicing his magic ;)

Also! To give you guys a heads up, I’m gonna be at ECCC in March here in Seattle (just doing a panel and possibly a signing not sure yet) and I’m also going to be doing another book signing at The Elliot Bay bookstore again! It’ll be on June 3rd in the evening ;)

Ep 173 preview

This episode has a lot of characters and crowds in it so it’s gonna take me an extra week to finish I think 😩

CS Vol 2 Process

Hey guys! You probably already know about the second book already since it’s been up on Amazon for a while now haha. But it’s you don’t, it comes out on June 3rd and preorders are already available!

Here’s the process of me working on the book cover. You’l...

Ep 172 Preview2

Here’s another little preview of Ep 172. I’m a little behind after the holidays but weekly episode previews will continue 👍

I hope you all had a happy new year! Do you have any resolutions for 2025?

My main goal is to finish the first half of season 4! I hope to have enough episodes to launch by April and then it’s up to webtoon to decide my return date.

Thanks for your support as always! 💖

What was your favorite Castle Swimmer Art this year?

Just because I'm curious ;)

Holiday 2024 Final

Hope you like the final colored version ;)

Hope you all have a happy holiday tomorrow! 💖🎄

BB Sketch 12/21

Harpy got a design update! And I also have a new working title for the comic ;)

I’ve been drawing a new Brainstorming update today so I hope to have that uploaded tonight.

Holiday 2024 Lineart

I was hoping to get the colors done today too but I always underestimate how long all the little details take me to draw lol.

The lines took me about 5-6 hours to finish.

I think I might hold off on doing the colors until Monday since I wanna draw some bird boy stuff this weekend. I’m cutting it a bit close to Christmas but that has been the pattern this year 😂

Holiday 2024 Sketch

Here’s how it looks so far ;) I think I’m gonna put tiny jellyfish inside of the lights.

Holiday 2024 Draft

I went to the coffee shop this morning and had no idea what to do for the holiday art. I originally thought of something with presents but ended up with kappa and siren in front of a coral Christmas tree. And they get a little distracted while decorating lol.

I want to try and push the perspective a little bit on this drawing just because I always tend to do illustrations with a normal front-facing view. But we’ll see what I end up with!

S4 End of Episode Mascot

There was only one little creature that felt right to represent the final season ;)

Ep 172 preview

Just letting you guys know that next week I’m gonna put some time aside to work on some Castle Swimmer holiday art! And also finish up a few other things so there might be either no episode preview next week or just a small one from this same episode. But I will show the process of the holiday art ;)

Ep 172 sneak peek

I’ve taken to working at coffee shops lately lol. I’ll have a better preview of the episode either tonight or tomorrow!

Ep 171 Preview

This is one of those episodes composed entirely of Siren and Kappa being soft together.
