Ever Skyward/The Witching West
Comic drawer, videogames player, dog-and-cat petter.
I did the thing, too. I have forgotten how to draw anime/manga. I think the nose/eye overlap is still very tricky to get right.

Duet for the ages.

Has anyone made this joke yet?

Finished this thing, forgot to share. Enjoy.

Did you ever try Pizzerolas? It's kinda the same flavor you describe, though.

“How’s the comic going?”
I’m making a cutting board

Ippatsu!!!
Commission of Ironeye from Nightreign. I didn’t know what to do for the background, so I turned it into an anime wallpaper.
Row! Row! Fight the power!

To help celebrate the release of my wife's final book on the Spectrum Legacy series, I did a drawing of each of the main characters.
Zaide, Andriun, Tula, and Lark.

Them: we need someone to draw some crazy cats! I mean, just wild, straight-up-evil-looking cats!

I'm convinced that the people who call Superman woke really have no idea what the character has always been about.

Rewatched How To Train Your Dragon this weekend with the daughter, and reminded me of this piece I did back in 2018 of Toothless and Stitch. My daughter laughed

Human artists!

Use one piece to convince people to follow you!

For my Memphis area folks, I’ll be at Benjamin Hooks Library on May 31st, with physical copies of both Ever Skyward and Witching West, as well as art prints and other stuff. Come say hi!

It only just occurred to me that, if I’m trying to grow a following, then I should also share what I’m working on, so here’s some thumbs for ideas to go with my Farosh piece.

If you see this, post your painting/drawing of a dragon.
First time joining one of these! I tried to emulate old woodblock prints, but I think I could’ve simplified it more.

Hmm. How accurate are you trying to get? I have a pair of Figma Max Archetype poseable figures and one Phicen. They're pretty good for general anatomy and posing.

Doing some referenced studies to remind myself that, actually, I DO know how to draw.

We rescued this girl off the street in late July. She was just over two months, skinny, and covered in fleas. Her name is Yuki and she is a little gremlin, but she can be really sweet sometimes.
