A quick update

I imagine most people here probably saw this coming from a mile away, but I've decided to shelf my webcomic, Hedgehog's Dilemma. Mainly it's because I flat out lost interest; I feel like I've drifted a bit too far from the characters emotionally, and just haven't been able to write them in a way that feels natural, the way it felt when I started...

no thoughts head empty

practice sketches!

With EFNW around the corner, I decided to start practicing my traditional sketching a bit more on actual paper!

These are a bit larger than what I plan to sell -- I ordered a stack of 5x7 cardstock for my "mini sketch" commissions, and I did these practice runs on pieces of letter-size cardstock cut in half (so closer to 6 1/2 x8 1/2). 2024-06-17 01:09:24 +0000 UTC View Post

Sketch stream?

It's been a while since I streamed and I was thinking about taking some themed sketch commissions live on stream...if I did that, what would you wanna see? Planning on sticking to known IPs so anyone who joins can ask for something (plus I feel silly taking commissions for my own OCs anyway lol)

Katy Kat

Sketched her a few more times at work today. The top left one is from a trip I took back in December and I decided I ought to fill the rest of the page in :)

Hedgehog's Dilemma #33

I promise this is going somewhere. Also I just realized I never published #32 anywhere publicly despite finishing it nearly 2 whole months ago, so that's where my head is at. LOL

Another sketch comic...

Thanks as always for your patience! As usual, work's been keeping me busy, so it's been hard finding time to draw. Here's another sketch comic with this new batch of characters that I've been workshopping.

Dating Profile

This is probably nothing, I just really wanted to draw Hilda being mildly annoyed with technology

Honey!

I've been playing some Sonic stuff again and I had to draw one of my faves. Sega needs to put her in a new game ASAP.

pizza night

get a load of these dorks

Jewel Emote! (And some other silliness.)

Apparently today is Jewel the Beetle's birthday (a.k.a. the anniversary of her series debut) so I did this emote for a friend to celebrate in my own little way! Also attached is the sketch it originated from, also drawn today. Also, Bean/Trip. Because I have so many random shipping brainworms when it comes to making up Sonic crackships.

Hey!

Sorry things have been so quiet around here! Work's been crazy again lately so I haven't had a chance to draw a ton outside of my work for EFNW 2024. Hoping to get some more casual sketching in soon so I can share some stuff here again! Thank you for being so patient!

Sleepy Hildas

Work whupped me good this week and this is all I could manage while attempting to doodle tonight

Hedgehog's Dilemma #32

Told you I'd get it done!

Hedgehog's Dilemma #32(?) WIP

Been a while since I shared the pencils for a comic here, so here you go! I'll probably ink it over the weekend or something, we'll see. Gotta get more writing done too. Happy to be back at it again!

Hedgehog's Dilemma #31

Everyone I know had a drawer like this in their kitchen, honestly. Not pictured: the dozens of packets of duck sauce and orange sauce from previous Chinese food take-away orders, also stowed in this drawer.

Bike ride (or not)

Still hard at work on day job stuff and commission stuff...have a few little cooldown sketches from today in the meantime.

Hedgehog's Dilemma #30

No, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you! it's them! It's really them!!!

More Hilda

Been dealing with some more shoulder pain lately, so things have been a bit slow...but I'm still cooking stuff here and there when I can! Here's some assorted Hilda sketches. Thanks for your patience <3

More Hilda and Portia

Sorry for the quiet! Same as usual, I've been wiped out and haven't been doing much outside of my job. But I have been cooking a bit more with these two new characters. Here's some more sketches that I can share here!

Thank you for keeping up with me while I've been slowly cooking over here. I'm hoping to have more exciting news for y'all ...

Some new characters...

Still unsure what I'm doing with them yet, but meet Hilda and Portia!

Hilda is a bit of an oddball in her social circles. She's a bit stubborn when it comes to computers, and would prefer to pass up reading web pages in favor of reading a good book...or maybe reading a fortune or two, if she has an audience. Some say that Hilda might be a ...

A quick update!

Just wanted to apologize for the lack of updates the last couple weeks! Work's been a bit more taxing than usual since we're short-staffed, so I haven't had as much time to doodle on the side, to the point where I still haven't even updated Boss Beetle this week yet. That said, I have been able to doodle here and there a bit, but I keep forgetti...

Continuing Secret Project...

Another little concept sketch for that secret Sonic related thing I'm doing with a friend for fun...just sharing a character sketch, I don't wanna share more than this sorta stuff since I don't wanna give away the project just yet!

Tangle doodlin'... (timelapse)

Sorry that it's been so quiet lately...work's been kicking my butt a bit harder than usual so I haven't really been up for more than the occasional doodles. I just remembered that the timelapse function existed in CSP though, so I decided to put it to use for once while I sketched to unwind a bit. I might do this more often if people are interes...

More sungazers

Just some doodling inspired by the recent comic drop + some lizard OCs, Frill and Punk (though my handwriting makes it look like it says "Plink" which I honestly like the sound of too lol)

Trip the Sungazer - swimwear concept sketches

Sorry for being so quiet lately! Work's been busy so I haven't had a ton of time for art projects lately outside of occasional doodles here and there.

Here's some outfit sketches I drafted up last night, some pals and I have been kicking around an idea for a Sonic thing and if it comes to fruition, I'd probably utilize one of these outfit...

dusting off the cobwebs

Hedgehog's Dilemma #29

New year, new comic!

Charlie @ Work

Haven't really been in a "comics" headspace lately, but I won't let it stop me from drawing some Charlie.

Decisions, decisions...

It's been a minute, eh? Still working on actual comic stories, but felt like doodling these fools in the meantime...maybe or maybe not based on a true story.
