Hank is a nervous cat who is trying to fit in with his classmates in wizard school, especially the most popular student, Jack. Will Hank be able to perfect his spells and tricks before the big talent show?

Nothin else for it
Two panel comic of a person with glasses looking down at an open book. First panel reads: I think I might be bad at this. In the second panel they are scribbling in the book with a pencil. Text reads: I’m gonna do it anyway

Made a fun animation loop of a hunter chasing after some prey.

I actually use the body plan of one of the bosses from Hollow Knight Silksong as a reference, Gurr the Outcast. I am having a lot of fun making these animations.

Title: "Pharloom Demon Hunters"
Date: 10/2/2025
Medium: Paper and Pencil

I am currently hyper fixated on two things, Hollow Knight: Silksong, and KPOP Demon Hunters. So I thought, hey, it'd be cool to mash them up.

Title: "Mimic Trouble"
Date: 9/2/2025
Medium: Paper and Pencil

For some reason I thought it would be funny to have all these three characters meeting up

Chilchuck, from Delicious in Dungeon, and Frieren from Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, talking about their experiences with mimics. Meanwhile, the mimic from Secret of the Mimic is casually sneaking up from behind them.

Title: "No Mayhem, No Glory"
Date: 9/1/2025
Medium: Paper and Pencil

Every now and then I like to create a little drawing to combat burnout, like combining two characters together.

01: There is a woman facing you with a confident expression. She has blond hair, messy twin pigtails, a small angel wing coming off the right side of her head, and a devil horn coming off the left. She has a big angel wing coming off the left side of her back, and a devil wing coming off the right. Her right eye is teal and has an 'X' pattern on the pupil, whereas her right eye is indigo and has a circle pattern on the pupil. She wears a pink neckerchief, and a tight sleeveless top that's blue on the top half and dark purple on the bottom. She also has disconnected sleeves, so her shoulders are still visible. She says "HEY!! It's ME, you're OLD OC. Haven't drawn ME in a while, HAVE YA'?" 02: She puts up her hands in front of her, as if you say 'stop it'. She has big, robotic hands. She says "No no, IT'S OKAY! Let's be real, my design is pretty amateurish HAHA" 03: She turns a bit to the side, and adopts a more sympathetic expression, but keeps looking you in the eyes. She says "But I want you to know that I've been there all this time. I've watched you grow. And you've grown SO much." 04: Closeup of her face as her confident expression returns. She tilts her head and gives you a wink. "Proud of ya', kid."

We use the word “palaeoART”… but the vast majority of the genre is actually palaeo-illustration. Emily is one of the (too few, imho) practitioners whose work transcends into art, in the truest sense, whilst never losing its scientific foundations.

Utterly brilliant.

LAUNCH DAY!!! Nyaegling is now available!!! 🙏 Please share OwO nyaegling.carrd.co

(If you saw this on my Etsy before today NO YOU DIDN'T).
a hastily drawn but still appealing promo comic. There are two panels. In the top panel, Bex and her pal Richard smile at the camera. Richard waves while Bex holds up a copy of their comic. Bex says, "I've been working my ass off for most of the last year on a brand new comic! It was written by one of my best friends, Richard Bass, and drawn by me!" Richard says, "hello!" In the second panel, Bex is crying drawing at her desk. She wails, "How the heck do I draw an explosion???" Future Bex puts a hand on the bakc of her chair and says towards the camera, "I honestly think it's the best comic art I've ever drawn. I had to learn a lot of new things for this and I think it paid off." A close-up panel of Bex with her hands clapped together. She smiles into the camera and says, "So I really really really really really want people to read it!!!" An even more close-up close-up shot of Bex. She looks a little bit crazy-eyed and scary. She says, "I'm serious. Please read this." A shepherd's crook appears around her neck. The last panel is very small, a zoomed out shot of Richard dragging Bex away with the shepherd's crook. She yells, "I worked so hard on it!!! pleeeeeeease!" while Richard says "OK, grandma, let's get you to bed."

With all due respect to Gareth, this is bullshit.

If Prehistoric Planet and DeadSound’s Dinosauria and Sauria shorts are any indication, people still love dinosaurs. We just need new, younger talent to tell newer, more creative stories about them.

There's a lot of folks who are afraid to start their webcomics because they don't want it to look 'ugly' or don't know if they're ready yet" but...
You just need to draw it and have something ugly and potentially 'not ready'
That's the secret to starting a webcomic!

Well, Charog would love to show off his wings, but...
He's stuck.

Hey y'all!
Hank wanted to wish you all a Happy Pride Month!!!
This month is all inclusivity and acceptance, and I think a little bit of that can go a long way, no matter who someone is, who they like, or what pronouns they use.

Gonna sound corny, but this is something I tell myself a lot,

They need you hopeless. They need you sick, sad, angry, and above all hopeless.

So doing anything that’s fun, stimulating, fulfilling is an act of rebellion. Go have some fucking fun and be a rebel!

Show off your webcomic and 3 things that inspired it 🐲
I say webcomic, but for now I am making it traditionally, but if I finally finish it I may make it digital.

This is Behemoth King

#behemothking #comic #art #showoffyourwebcomic #inspiration #quotechain
Concept cover for Behemoth King, with the main heroes in the bottom center of the image, the bad guys surrounding them, and a massive dragon looming in the background. The official title and poster for the animated series, Monkie Kid, with the main characters riding a mechanical beast. Monkie Kid was one inspiration for Behemoth King because of the characters and the adventures that they go on. The official poster for the anime, Delicious in Dungeon, with the main characters running away from a menagerie of monsters, all while holding delicious food. Delicious in Dungeon was another inspiration for Behemoth King thanks to it's worldbuilding, magic, and various smaller monsters. The official poster for Godzilla, King of the Monsters (2019), with Godzilla and King Ghidorah about to clash. The whole of the monsterverse was my final main inspiration for Behemoth King simply because of the giant monsters and how they would impact the rest of the world.

Made some more sketches to combat burnout. It's winning, but I at least made this. Also, be on the lookout for something that I have been working on for a bit now.
Spoilers: it's a comic, at least I'll try to finish the comic.

#sketch #art #drawing #creatures #monsters #burnout #creaturedesign
A compilation of sketches of random creatures that I created. Some are based on myths and folklore, like the undine. Others are combinations of real life animals, like the Leatherback Panturtle and Samdfrill. Others are fully original, like the Hermit Glider and Thorn Baby.

A sneak preview of a page from Nyaegling by Bex Ollerton and Richard Bass. The snippet features a red-haired catgirl wearing a red cape fighting with an armored wolf. In the first panel, the catgirl leaps upwards. In the second panel, she makes contact with the wolf woman, who also makes contact with her, and in the final panel, both characters fall to the ground as the impact of their clash begins to affect them.

In the first panel, it is a longshot of her climbing out of a window. In the second panel, she grips an ornate sword. In the final panel, we get a close-up of the character who looks pained.

In the final panel, the protagonist dodges out of the way as an explosion booms in front of her.

Uhhh weird helpful art tips:

-Art is subjective. There is no "right way" to draw.

-If you want to seek "motivation to draw", seek the "motivation to learn". Make a short end-goal instead of a long one. (Like, "I want to make a fashion drawing today" or "I'm gonna reference color scripts today")

Hope yall had a fantastic April, and once again, Happy Autism Acceptance Month. This whole month I have been busy with work, but I was able to find the time to create Hank and the rest of his friends!

Hank the cat; an adorable cat wizard who loves magic and his friends. While nervous at first, he easily opens up once you get to know him. Jack the human boy; one of the popular students at Gifted Wizards Elementary, he is the one who helped inspire Hank to keep practicing magic. Eris the mantis; the most creative and dramatic member of the pack, Eris loves to show off in front of his friends. To this day, he still hasn't taken off his vampire cape from Halloween, he loves wearing it that much.
