From left to right: Doggy & Weaver.

Doggy Lebowski is like Mickey Mouse, if Mickey Mouse was crazy like Walt Disney and hated the whole world.

And Weaver is like a mafia wife who has to deal with her husband's "business," but is also compliset.

A fake ad in my book, which also functions as an origin, of sorts, for a group of characters. Loosely based on a Sea Monkeys ad for authenticity. There's artwork associated with this ad, but that'll come later.

Tell me you wouldn't pay money for this:

An excerpt from "The Misadventures of Claire Taurus." It's a dark romantasy, of sorts.

The whole book is essentially a surreal black comedy, but with elements of scifi and fantasy. And now, romantasy. I'm going to use this word and see if it helps me with sales. I need them.

An excerpt from "Bombshells & Boomsticks," the opening short story in the book.

I pride myself in my writing; where I genuinely believe you'll have no idea where it's going, but when you get there it'll all seem inevitable.

The Prolog to Liam & His Shadow Go To Hell. I might work on it some more. I'm in the middle of editing and proofreading.

Tell me, does this invoke your curiosity?

Actually...

I agree.

If you see this, post an anime you love.

I've heard fans of the game hate it, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Here's another song for your timeline. It's about my girl, Claire Taurus. Inspired by the old Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball theme songs. It's kind of still a work in progress, I don't know.

It's meant to be poppy but with a rock edge. Imagine Miley Cyrus singing it.

Batman Returns and The Terrifier.

It's that time of year for these wonderful single serve containers. Have to enjoy it now before SNAP is gone for good.

Hated seeing the empty space at the top left corner. I couldn't help but put on the text myself. I'll still type the other stuff, though. Including my credit.

It just pops, doesn't it? Wait till it's inked! Now back to writing...

Completed pencils of the cover art. I think it turned out well. And unless I use one of the other stories for the cover, I like this concept of: what mess did these two get themselves in now?

The format: a short story at the start; next, an episode of Liam & His Shadow; then finally, a novela.

Had something else in mind for the foreground. Let's see how I'll put it all together.

Reread a little of Liam & His Shadow Go To Hell, felt inspired.

Word balloons: "This wasn't part of the deal! He's just a scared little boy!"

It's coming together. All the text here will be added in later after I take a picture of the final inked version. This is basically an ad for the Claire story at the end.

I'm not sure what the main picture will be right now. Till then, I'm going back to writing.

Forgot something important: the number of the issue.
October 21, 2025 at 10:41 PM
With title...

It fit better than I thought it would. I don't usually measure things all that well, but it looks good, I think.
October 21, 2025 at 10:27 PM
How it starts...

I'll post as I go, section by section. Wouldn't that be nice? I'm hoping to produce a great cover for Issue 2, attract some sales.
