For the first time, I got a new OC that's not connected to any of my writing projects! This is Scraffy, Specter's long-lost half brother. I adopted this cute guy from https://www.furaffinity.net/user/kaiartworkstudio on FurAffinity.

Every webcomic has two stories: the story the artist is telling and the meta story of watching an artist make creative choices over the course of many, many years. You get to watch art evolve and change in real time.
not to wax poetic about webcomics but I think one of the best things about webcomics is that reading them forces you to confront the fact that artists evolve and change over time, and that "style" is a necessarily evolving thing

A new local bat just dropped. Maybe he's a long-lost relative? @thestupidsnake.bsky.social

Human Disguise/ True Form. Mijra's shapes are so different, but you can always kinda tell it's him. See if you can guess what musician I sent the artist as a reference for Human!Mijra.

For the first time, a drawing of Ja'ek and Yetza by @kaiartworks.bsky.social! They had a small part in Episode 2, and they'll be back in a larger way for Episode 3.

Another moment from my next writing project. Marcel stands alone on the Metro platform at Union Station, just after the last train has left. He's got no idea where to go, but he's come too far already to turn around.

The big moment from Wild Shape 2. As dawn breaks over Disneyland, Mijra experiences the human mating ritual known as "kissing". Art by linked-memories on DeviantArt

This is sold out. Who would be crazy enough to see Felidae in an actual theater... with other people???

Me, that's who.

I really hope the Alamo Drafthouse servers working tonight know what they've signed up for.

My last writing project this year was a fake Star Trek novel for a podcast. It was a lot of fun to write, and I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Another drawing by the great Linked-Memories on DA. This one means a lot to me. I've been through a lot recently, and it feels good to imagine myself above everything that's been dragging me down. It keeps me half sane through the worst of it.

Art by n0tta on DA. Mid-winter is one of my favorite times of year in LA, it's usually perfectly overcast or raining heavily. It washes away all of the dust and trash.

Up on Tumblr - I do a deep dive into @temiree.bsky.social 's webcomic Little Runt. I cover what makes it so great, how it got stuck on one scene for 4 years, and why dream sequences are so hard to write.

The Trouble with Dream Sequences
Every writer knows the pain of getting stuck on a scene. It happens for many reasons - lack of planning, unclear purpose, the idea not working as well on paper as it did in your head, having a start…

youtu.be/zMCXOIBsb18... Of all of the "Like the Wind" discoveries in the past few days, my favorite has been this live version from 1985. This is the platonic ideal of 80s post-punk.
