textless version of the third panel because i think it came out nicely, considering setting up scenes in perspective like this is mad difficult for my brain
Page 4! More Exposition-Via-Television, or maybe I just want an excuse to draw little CRTs :)

2024-10-31 07:52:19 +0000 UTC View PostHi guys! So just to get this out of the way, you may have heard that Patreon is forcing everyone to switch to subscription style payments instead of first of the month payments. This is because Apple said so if they want to keep the Patreon app in the App Store. Anything for our billionaire tech overlords, I guess.
The change automatically...

2024-10-22 01:52:47 +0000 UTC View PostAn updated design to Sonny’s spacesuit! although there wasn’t much to change besides adding some extra details like pockets and a quick-release latch for the helmet. It’s nearly identical to the standard utility spacesuits used by the rest of the ISA Peacekeeping Corps - fairly flexible and lightweight as far as spacesuits go, but you woul...
2024-10-21 22:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostFinally giving myself the time to tackle the cover art for Wyvern vol.1! I think I’ve been refining this concept since 2022, so it feels good to have it coming together at last. This WIP is probably 90% finished.
I spent a looooot of time trying to wrap my head around the gravitational lensing effect. In the end I know it isn’t fully a...
2024-10-20 22:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post“Furry courtroom sketches” is a concept I’ve had for some time… so I decided to make a custom oil pastel brush in procreate and finally bring this idea to life.
What did he do? Use your imagination!
That’s not the proper way to title a case? I don’t care!
Based off this iconic sketch:

Cowlach and.. uh…. Asableion ?? thumbnails a made a few months back for a painting series based on the character portraits in Baldurs Gate 3. the rest of the gang will be coming at some point. And yeah, I loved the game to bits. BG1 was one of very few video games I played as a kid and it’s still a fav.

Wanted to try making a fineliner brush in procreate, and decided to experiment with some colour as well.
2024-10-19 01:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostMore stuff from my digital sketchbook. Ok a couple of these weren’t done in procreate, but whatever!
2024-10-18 22:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostA digital painting commission for Archer, thanks again! Made in CSP. Crop below!
Side note: I’ve managed to really build up a backlog of non-comic art lately, so there are a bunch of posts queued up for the next while - some crossposts, some new stuff, some old. I’m also trying to promote Wyvern and the rest of my work more o...

2024-10-18 07:09:39 +0000 UTC View PostPage 3! In which we meet Dani, Sonny's mum, who works as a fantasy illustrator. I made a thumbnail for her painting and it turned out so cool that I need to find a way to show the whole thing somewhere...
Also trialling a new typeface for dialogue...
Page 2, also the chapter title. Sonny lives with his mum in this little terrace house in the western Sydney sprawl. Bc so little of the story takes place on Earth, I haven’t actually put a lot of thought into what a futuristic Sydney would look like lol… It would probably be more realistic if they lived in med/high density housing, but I wan...
2024-10-11 04:42:48 +0000 UTC View PostIf you've seen my post for Page 1, I mentioned that I decided to stop using screentones in favour of a digital ink wash method for toning the comic. I went back and tested this on a page from the prologue and was immediately won over. I feel like i'm able to pull so much more life and drama out of the art for a fraction of the effort, honestly!...
2024-10-10 02:33:15 +0000 UTC View PostHere we go! Here we fucking go!!! Sonny makes his entrance!!
Very, very excited to be able to finally share this story I've been working on for (checks notes) 10 years.... 💪😭 oof!
You might notice that I've ditched screentones in favour of a digital ink wash. Hopefully this decision doesn't bite me in the ass, bu...
2024-10-04 05:35:15 +0000 UTC View PostTime for a big update! Here are the pencils for pages 17-27, concluding the first chapter of Wyvern. You can see me gradually figuring out Procreate and starting to shake off the dust. This is a very dense chapter so I’ve still got a bit of refining to do, but I’m eager to start inking ASAP. While the iPad has been awesome for sketching, I ...
2024-09-25 04:58:59 +0000 UTC View PostI’ve always enjoyed typography but more in the sense of graffiti, in that it’s fun to break rules and draw shapes. Most of my inspiration comes from Roger Dean, David Rudnick, and industrial safety iconography/incidental design. In particular I wanted to replicate that 80’s airbrushed mirror chrome style in the first pic (still a WIP). For...

The Pelican is a bird that lives in Egypt by itself on the river Nile… It is said (if that may be true) that she kills her own offspring, and mourns them for three days; then she wounds herself and revives her children by... 2024-09-10 04:17:47 +0000 UTC View Post
Forgot to crosspost this one! I've been working very intensively in colour this year but I keep feeling myself gravitating towards greyscale. I think a big part of my recent development as a painter was coming to understand the importance of grey and the subtlety you can squeeze out of a narrow value range, as well as how to effectively group va...
2024-08-29 23:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe procreate timelapse for this drawing! I’ll probably be uploading all my timelapse videos here for Ace members. Watch me mucking around as I get used to the new workflow and experiment with different pencil grips. I also don’t know why it exported a flipped version, but oh well!
2024-08-29 03:27:04 +0000 UTC View PostHi! A couple pieces of good news if you don’t know already -
I’ve been gifted an iPad! I’ve spent the past couple weeks getting myself familiar with procreate, which I used for this drawing. My intitial sketch was made using an overhand grip on the Apple Pencil - my preferred grip when sketching gesturally with traditional media, an...

2024-07-14 07:41:16 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone, sorry things have been quiet lately. Over the past couple months I've tabled at FurDU, moved house, and then had to immediately enter crunch mode for a major commission project. I can't share too much about this, but it will be a 9-page full colour comic released in a printed anthology. It's also probably some of my strongest work t...
