Batgirl (new 2021 outfit)

Not surprisingly, Batgirl won my "who to draw" poll earlier this week! Although I really thought Loki might pull ahead. Thinking I'll wait to draw him (them?) after the show wraps up. Anyhoo, here's Babs for ya in all her new outfit glory.

Also it warms my heart that Cleo came out third in that poll. If you haven't yet heard, her animated adventures will start airing on Hulu next week--July 14th. Tell your friends!!!

Stickers!

The space cat sticker vinyl sheets arrived and they look great! I’ll be sending one out to every active patron this month so keep your eyes peeled on your mailbox in the coming weeks.

A reminder to also enter your address in your profile for me if you havn’t yet done so. You should have recieved an alert to do this but if you have any questions feel free to message me.

Thanks so much for supporting me here on Patreon! 😺🚀✍️

Who would you like to see me draw?

So I haven't done a poll here yet and I did promise some exclusive voting power for y'all, so I thought, "Why not help me make  a decision on who to draw next?"

I don't always just sit down and start drawing fan art. Usually, some character's name will come up online, or I'll get inspired by someone else drawing them, or they are on a tv show, or movie, etc... Then I jot the name down on a post-it and get back to more important (aka: deadline-related) work. Once I get a fr...

Supergirl Forest Landing Time-lapse

Here's the time-lapse of that Supergirl piece I posted earlier today! First time doing this so if there are any issues (video isn't loading, blurry/pixilated, too fast, too slow, too big, too small, etc...) please LMK so I can improve it for next time.

This piece took me about 2.5 hrs to do. I kept it pretty loose and sketchy and as you can see, completely skipped any penciling stage and went straight to inks. I'm hoping to use a similar approach as I work on my graphic novel to save me...

Supergirl Forest Landing

Hi, Patrons! I'm back after some much needed time away from my studio, my house, my town and pretty much the entire state of Florida. Really wanted to get some new art for y'all before the month ends so here's a quick illustration inspired by my time in the mountains and forests of Tennessee. This was my fourth vacation in the Great Smokeys and cemented my intention to eventually retire there someday. Absolutely beautiful there (not to mention fantastic bluegrass music playing around every co...

She Hulk Watercolor Sketch

Last watercolor sketch for now! Good ol' sensational Jennifer Walters. Can't wait for the tv show.

I'm heading out on a much needed family vacation tomorrow, so not sure if I'll be posting anything new or not next week. I'll make up for it when I get back though. Maybe finally post a process vid or something!

Mary Marvel Watercolor Sketch

I didn't draw her this way here, but if I was ever gifted a long-form Batgirl Supergirl series, a very young (like seven or eight or something), hyperactive Mary would show up at some point to cause all sorts of playful hijinks and make Kara seem like...well, seem like Babs.

Oh, the fun that would be.

Gwenpool Watercolor Sketch

Another watercolor sketch for another Wild Space Cat.

I had never drawn Gwenpool before. She's fun! I'll have to doodle something else with her again someday.

Cleo Watercolor Sketch

Was able to knock out all the watercolor sketches for my Wild Space Cat tier over the weekend! Which is good because I have a vacation coming up and wasn't sure I'd have the time to do them once I got back.

Anyhoo, thought I'd share one a day this week, starting with my favorite Greek/Egyptian space hero!

I'm treating these as kind of small convention sketches. Working very loose and fast. Being aware of my limitations working traditionally vs digitally ("Whelp! I guess that line ...

Stargirl

I honestly haven't watched, read, nor know really anything about Stargirl--but I love her costume! It looks like something I would have designed.

Anyone watch the show? Is it worth me taking a break from The West Wing to check out?

Space Cat T-Shirts!

Why stop at stickers! Mainly because I wanted some, I made some space cat t-shirts. :D

All of these designs are available in multiple colors & sizes in my TeePublic shop. I use TeePublic because I really like the feel of their shirts (especially their tri-blend option). I've also been ordering shirts from them for years and they've held up well. Also, their prices are reasonable. Also, I make a little...

Stickers!

Who doesn't love stickers? Well, I'm sure there's a few folks out there who don't love stickers, but for the most part I think humanity is quite fond of them.

And hopefully that includes some of you! Because every one of my active patrons is going to receive one the above 4x6 vinyl sticker sheets in their mailbox sometime in the next few weeks! Absolutely FREE! A small thank you gift for choosing to support me on this platform.

The only catch is, I'll need your ma...

Spider-Gwen

Got vaccinated yesterday and felt like I got run over by a steam roller this morning so decided to just relax and color this Spider-Gwen (or is it Spider-Woman now? Ghost-Spider?) sketch from a few weeks ago. Advil finally kicked in so feeling much better now, thank goodness. :)

Some process pics attached. My initial rough kinda cracks me up.

Captain America Process

So for my first (more involved) process post, I figured I'd share a little behind-the-scenes look of that Captain America sketch I posted a couple of months ago. It's been by far the most popular sketch I've drawn this year, so I thought a few of you might like to see some of the steps that went into drawing it.

Like most of my art these days, Sam here was drawn digitally in Clip Studio Paint.

Harley's Acting a Little Fishy

Didn't want MerMay to pass me by without drawing at least one mermaid.

Included a few process pics. :)

Hello!

Thank you so much for monetarily deciding to back me as a creator! I can't properly express how much that means to me.

Introduce yourself in the comments and LMK what kind of stuff you'd like to see here. Characters you'd like to see me to draw? Merch you'd like offered? Posting tips?
