Happy pride month! Instead of trying to get you all to buy my books, I'm asking you to help me get these stealth queer books into the hands of the people they were made for: teenagers!

Another little bit of animation I've stitched together for the Secondhand Origin Stories book "trailer".

Just to be perfectly clear I do not and will not use AI for my covers. These are hand drawn, down to every shard of glass and leaf, by me.
I love these goobers & want the best for them.
I mean I am going to put them through the torments.
But they do deserve covers made with love and care.

Well this is not the cat we were trying to trap, but they're greasy and very hungry and out after midnight in the snow so...guess we'll coordinate a vet trip for a chip scan and warm place to stay while we figure out where they need to go.

Fuck it, I am stressed about the US election so- both my late YA books are free till we get election results! Do what you can, then come and enjoy a distraction with themes of hope and struggling with systemic injustice- but with nanites, superheroes, and explosions etc.

Still needs a bit of detail work; some color tweaks, highlights in her eyes, etc, but I am really, really happy with this. Gonna change up the timing of the audio a bit but I gotta remember what the hell program I use to do that.

Not especially pretty jam, but our first ever batch of jam from this garden TASTES amazing. It's just ground cherries and sugar boiled down, with the skin providing all the pectin needed. The seeds are soft and not noticeable when you're eating.
Tastes like citrus, pear & honey and we added spices.

Bit of animation test from my "trailer" for already released novel Secondhand Origin Stories. Done in Clip Studio Paint. Voiceacting by Kelson Bain.
I'm really trying to work on expressiveness and shifting facial expressions.

My pen arrived! This is my new Hongdian M2 Black Forrest Mini with adorable cuddling kitty cap. Not really a collector but I needed to replace my missing on-the-go pen.
Feels sturdy but not heavy, big enough for my big hands when posted, and not scratchy but not too juicy (I don't like juicy pens).

I can't get this one to trim so enjoy this bit of seeing my shading layer. I enjoy the hair and expression. #animating

This one involved some modified rotoscoping (because I am very much not shaped like this anymore), a ladder, and a lot of patience. #animating

Here's another one I like a lot. All of these are for my "trailer" for my book Secondhand Origin Stories, which was released long ago the second book is also out now.
Because I'm only learning to animate ON THIS PROJECT so I'm slow. #animating

Ohhhh I can't post GIFs but I can post clips of my animation!
Behold! Of my own free will I learned how to use CSP's 2D camera and I animated light moving over shattered glass.
