This bad boy finally has a title! B^} I'm going with "The Sea Beast in Henry MacArthur". It's so nice to have a title after all these dang years!!!
I was just doodling Henry and it found its way to me, so I scribbled it in with the sketch. attached are a few other doodles I've put together of Delmar and Henry. My beloveds!

Drew this up last night, working on finding my style with humor - got a long way to go >:"^}
I decided a few days after posting 3 Gold Moonbeam Hollow minicomics for an early read on Patreon, I'll share the set of 3 on Instagram >:^}

It was a lovely sunny morning and i wanted to flex my comic muscles with a little intro to a few commoners at the Bed n Breakfast that my chickadee oc Breadbowl works at!
Davide is reassuring Gio, saying they can ask Breadbowl (Santino) if he's seen the toy truck when they go back to the BnB for lunchtime.
I'm enjoying my time off ...

Henry has been one of the most challenging designs I've made for a comic!!! He seems really simple but trying to convey strong emotions through a subtle person and sea beast eyes has proven a difficult task @_@ I've been learning from animation techniques and using my own expressions and emotions to try and carve Henry from the inside out in the...

Spent the past two days finishing up Henry. After 4 years of drafting he's finally where I want him, design and personality!
He's a young man of few words, quiet, keeps to himself, knows he doesn't belong with other humans and not with the sea beasts. He holds great respect for the ocean and the creatures in it, even if they do n...

Hey hi and welcome to my first check-in :^} these will be a new thing around here to replace the moodboard posts, I feel these are a little more interesting both to make and (hopefully) to read!
These past few weeks have been artistically difficult. I’ve been struggling with balancing work with time to myself, and as many of you know I...

A fine Fri' morn to you, Patrons!
Time for the final steps of my backpack badges!
Applying vinyl on these was a challenge due to their size. When i apply my vinyl (it comes in sheets) I try to lay it as flat as possible over as much of the image as I can, with some extra room. The bigger your image is, the h...

And I got to thinking - maybe you'd prefer something a lil different to share twice a month - perhaps a check-in, some pics of what's been defining the time for me, something nifty where I share how I've been, what's been up, what I hope for the coming weeks, etc etc! 2021-03-01 19:53:43 +0000 UTC View Post
Part tuh-woo! I went ahead and chose black colored pencil to line my badges (oops... 9-Spot joins the party?). Most of my pens either bled or didn't give me the right look. Colored pencil had just the right amount of freedom and forgiveness!
I erased most of my base pencil until there were faint guidelines. Then once I had m...

OOPS! I went a little batty this morning and decided hey.... I bet I could finish a short comic in 4 weeks!!!! Why the heck not?
For the next 4 weeks I'll spend an hour a day working on a story concept I came up with last year about a loser named Coriander who's trying to break out of his shell and find love. He works at a diner called The Pu...

Happy 2 am, Patroneezes! Here's the main "message" for M13-711 - I'll work the plot around this. It feels good so far!
(Plus an octopus friend & a ring with a compass that Shift receives from Fizzy)
Next I'll be working on more characters for this story since oops... I only have 2 so far. Sleep first, though!
I'll have some more interesting stuff / lore to share about this story soon, but for now have this wip that I'm chipping away at! The final piece will be available to the public but you're gonna get all the sexy sexy secrets...

Good morn! This was a fun experiment - I wrote out all the settings/places/locations I could imagine going through my 2000's-based story, and then I went back and added sparkwords in black. It helped a ton to get some new ideas for the plotline and for fun scenes!

New character concept! Pryce is a penguin and Mint's best friend. He's a bargain bin hunter and a realist. He's the only one of Mint's buddies who really wants to "hang out" with him anymore.
He'll have a toyhouse page soon!
Kintal's weirdly goofy, parental energy was leftover from a long-ago plotline. He's more of a foolish pirate-type now! More to come soon.
I'll have to rework this scene a smidge, I made it a few weeks ago - since then, the polls have spoken! Henry will know some French! Good for him!
