Day 5 of my current art challenge (characters in relation to their environments): "Pausing at the edge of a cliff as fog rolls in below." Not sure about this one - I don't mind it, but I don't love it either. It might look better with some value variation/color/shading?

I sketched this guy last week for day 4 of my current art challenge (drawing characters in relation to their environments). Day 4 was "Repairing something delicate in a cramped, poorly lit room." I'm not sure what he's working on, but I really like him.

My self-challenge for January is to draw characters in relation to their environment. Day 2: Climbing onto a rooftop just as the city lights flicker on.

Doing another 31-day challenge. This time I'm pushing myself to draw characters in situations, reacting or interacting with their environment. Day 1: "Waiting for a delayed train on an empty platform at night."

My childhood self reading. We had this bay window that looked out into the woods.
Maybe it's the horrors of the present, but I'm getting a lot of comfort drawing the past. ❤️🎨

"A Link To Misfortune" is a humorous retrospective of my time playing A Link To the Past. With very little gaming experience, it was a challenging venture, but I adored it. Most of it. This 8-page folded zine will be available soon on my shop 🫶

A page from my upcoming zine "Be My Magic." I remember collecting ALL kinds of stuff for altars when I was this age. The pentacle is based on my (real life) first one, bought at a local "Renfaire" type event.

"Be My Magic" is a sweet and hopeful zine about the beauty, power, and resilience of pagan faith. It follows a character over time and across religions, through a dark night of the soul, before resurfacing into the joy of God/dess. It'll also be my first full-color zine.

So, I always wanted to have a stack or shelf of books I'd written. Zines and comics are not the form I'd originally imagined for my work, but I'm still so freaking proud of this. ❤️

I had to learn to clean my printer for this zine, but it was worth it! And I probably should know that anyway...

Oct. 28: "The quiet between heartbeats." This is a character from a web serial I'm currently obsessed with. She was around for five chapters, had one line, and made me ugly-cry for half an hour.
