Hey #PortfolioDay, I'm Rik!
I draw, ink and colour comics! I've worked on Sonic the Hedgehog, TMNT, Transformers, MLP, Miraculous Ladybug, Felix the Cat, Godzilla and more in some capacity or other!

Book in a jam? Need someone to help get it to the finish line? Hit me up!

The cover to Sonic the Hedgehog: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds one-shot, cover B by this guy right here. Featuring all your favourite sonic characters like Jet the Hawk on their racing vehicles from the hit new videogame 'sonic car design and I guess also racing but it's mostly a big fight would you STOP SAWING MY CAR IN HALF JEEEZ' at least I think that's what it's called. The cover to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures #30 B cover by this lil mutant aka me. Featuring the lads surfing through the sewer except they're skating but I still called it sewer surfing because of the game and I'm not very smart. I covered the bottom of the skateboards in nods and throwback references to the TMNT's long and storied career because I love those goofs. 9.95! The cover to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures #18 B cover by a me you might know. Can you believe they let me do this twice? Well this was the first one but you know what I mean. I wonder if I cross my fingers real hard and make a wish they'll let me do another one. This one being my first meant I had to involve my favourites so that's why Casey Jones is flexing in the top right because he's the best. Also weirdly despite it being the first time I ever drew him I REALLY like how Rocksteady looks on this cover. He's tricky and I think he looks on model! Good job me. Okay so I haven't done four solo covers yet so have a random pinup style illustration of Sonic The Hedgehog because otherwise I'd have to post a one off sample of me inking or colouring someone else and that wouldn't be fair making me pick a single sample. I've inked/coloured a bunch of super cool people and honestly I love working with them all. I just try my best not to ruin their work but I've got a long way to. As you can see from my awful colouring job on this cover, I really need to focus on that this year. But the special stage is a nice nostalgic hit for me and I've not done any full solo art I can share just yet in like a year so I can't use that really but just you wait JUST YOU WAIT. I got a big thing dropping around June maybe it'll be fun. It involves not one, but TWO penguins. That's all I'll say about that. Also Chaos Emeralds ae rad and the Classic Sonic Special Stages are as follows: 2's half pipe > 1's rotating nightmare >>> > 3d blasts boring bridges >>>>>>>>>>>>>3's blue spheres.

True coolness wasn't inside you all along, it was totally in the shades this whole time!
A quick edit of some pics I did to remake the 'Cooler Daniel' yearbook meme because I'm a hack and my zine needed a cover and I had no time.

What do you mean David Hasslehoff made a Pingu Rap? How did I not know about this?

Happy Tangle and Whisper Day to those who celebrate! I don't have anything new but here is a smattering of fanart I did when they first got introduced!
A mock cover for Sonic the Hedgehog I did in 2018 or something featuring Tangle A mock cover for a potential Tangle + Whisper comic I did in before they got their own official one way back when! A terrible Tangle and Whisper pic I did in like a day, I'm including it here because I like Tangle mustarding the hotdog! A mock card I did for a Sonic the Hedgehog card game mockup thing I did. Please excuse the IDW logo it was gonna be for a bunch of varying franchise aspects like Fleetway and Archie and have their respective logos on it!

Throwback thursday (on a friday) to when I drew this back in- wait, what. 2020?! That can't be right...
The main character from the smash hit videogame Balan Wonderworld. See I didn't even accidentally type wonderland like I was expecting. A jester type teal haired smiley face character in a big hat with frilly sleeves. Y'know I actually still kinda dig the design, shame the game was what it was. I haven't played it but I've heard good things about the story if you read the massive tie in novel you need to order off the internet that isn't mentioned anywhere in the game though.

Try making comics without any dialogue. If you can tell a story from point A to point B to point C without any verbal explanation of how you got there, you’re way ahead of the curve. We work in a VISUAL medium.

I fell short of 100 but I think 95 isn't too shabby a score!
(I'm not even gonna be salty about Rovio/Atlus games being on here!)
A chart of Sega titles and checkboxes for if you've played each one. There are 120 games/series represented and I've scored 95/120. I need to get a hobby. Or other hobbies? Or just get out more I guess.

Where are you at mentally?
Calvin stood next to Hobbes, exclaiming "I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul." Because really who doesn't feel like that on a daily basis eh? Isabelle from Animal Crossing with the important advice: "Resist the urge to engage with posts created to cause a response of anger. These posts are not worth your energy. Block early. Block often." Moomin, sitting at a table and having some bread. With text that reads "my main goal in life is genuinely just to have a good day." Sgt Frog's Keroro and Fuyuki with a caption that reads "Pros and cons of being my friend: >Pro - you have a friend >Con - it's me."

Been a while since I saw a film as satisfying to watch as Rental Family (2025). Great script, solid cast, lovely cinematography. And Brendan Fraser plays a Dreamcast. 10/10, no notes.

This Sonic car decorating game is pretty fun.
Tangle sitting in a badly decorated motobug car in the character select screen of Sonic CrossWorlds.It is very colourful but also kind of terrible and simultaneously very amusing. Not quite a literal clown car but to be honest pretty close.

Been rewatching 12th Doctor episodes and can I put in a formal request with the universe to have Peter Capaldi play Don Quixote?
Peter Capaldi in The Musketeers (2014-16) who I'm now trying not to picture as playing Billy Connolly in some kind of movie because they have similar facial hair in this picture and I guess they're both Sco'ish. That being said they'd play good brothers in something.
