I've always had a strange relationship with commissions. They can be so fulfilling, and yet so frustrating at the same time. I'm truly anxious to finish these so that I can carry on with Witch Warp, I'm tired of putting it off, but at the sam...

I'll let Vibrissa and Lion do most of the talking this time. They're our up-and-coming stars, after all, and they need to get used to the spotlight. I hope you like the cut of their jib!
Incidentally, I would like to mention what an absolute relief it will be not to have to draw Zandra's freaking stripes all the time.

Hey everyone! I hope you're safe as we trudge through this wave of heat and storms. Sorry for being out of touch for so long, but the climate's been slowing me down too! Well, as always, I could give a dozen reasons for my slow pace. The backlog of commissions being one of them!

First off, let me say thank you and welcome to any and all new patrons, and to all my returning customers who have increased their donation amount! It's so great to have your help, it's already made a huge difference in my life and art. I'm glad to know you!
It's so inspiring, in fact, that Witch Warp is coming to life more and...

I'll be posting this on all my social media warrens. But somehow it feels presumptuous to ask, especially here, on my Patreon page, where I've had so much patience and generous support from all of you already, in spite of my halting pace. It's hard for me to feel like I deserve this kind of support.
Still, self-effacement aside...

He seems nice. Happy Easter/Passover/Ramadan, everyone! If you don't fall under that umbrella, I just hope you're having a good time. And what better time to preview a Pook?

It seems like a good time to post some more of what I've been doing! I'm working on ten commissions in all, but these are clean enough to show off as works in progress.

Ooh. Who's that guy? Another traveler in the Outlands whom Vi and Lion are destined to encounter. Is he good? Is he bad? True neutral? Wait and see.

More of the same, though I think I've vastly underestimated the value of sketch pages up to this point. Just these few drawings of Vi have fleshed out her personality. I now have a much better idea of who she is, and what she wants. Go...

Doing some sketch work to warm up. This is Lion, one of Witch Warp's lead characters! I really want to show you who she is. I want to show you a lot with the new comic! I hope I have it in me.

I had a mind to polish these POOK! pages. Added a "texture" layer that makes them feel more finished. I think.
By the way, if you missed the message, my commission slots are full! Which certainly helps me out to keep me and mine afloat. Thanks to everyone, and I'll have some new art to show off soon!
Oh yeah, and happy Ye...

I got mouths to feed before I can focus on my next comic. So for a limited while I'm offering character portraits! E-mail or DM me if you're interested!

Yeesh. And after posting something as kid-friendly as an Amphibia fan comic! You'd think after a few Black Betty pinups I wouldn't be squeamish, but let's admit, they're pretty tame compared to some of what you'll find online.
Case in point, I'm attempting to match the astoundingly bawdy farcical stylings of Raven Perez, a frie...

I couldn't imagine a better time than the Halloween season to kick this particular project into gear. I've grown really fond of these freaks, and I've written a series of poems that I intend to illustrate, based on the idea that each of the Vorpal Pook has a signature fairy-tale to their name. It's my hope that I can make these into ...

Woof. This one was a beast! A commission of a very, very unique and fascinating character, this took an elephantine amount of time because I initially misunderstood the properties of the character (composing its body out of "ferrofluid", a real-life magnetic substance), and also because I settled on rendering her with speckling. &nbs...

Ugh. Was that the best thing to call this picture? Well, it's Doyenne and Black Betty about two seconds from tearing the room apart. Don't ask me who comes out on top.
And tearing things apart seems like a nice segue back to reality, as it's certainly been a Hell of a month here in America. You may have noticed, I w...
