More Finished Commissions

I've always had a strange relationship with commissions.  They can be so fulfilling, and yet so frustrating at the same time.  I'm truly anxious to finish these so that I can carry on with Witch Warp, I'm tired of putting it...

Witch Work in Progress

I'll let Vibrissa and Lion do most of the talking this time.  They're our up-and-coming stars, after all, and they need to get used to the spotlight.  I hope you like the cut of their jib!

Incidentally, I would like to mention what an absolute relief it will be not to have to draw Zandra's freaking stripes all...

Commission: Swirl

Hey everyone!  I hope you're safe as we trudge through this wave of heat and storms.  Sorry for being out of touch for so long, but the climate's been slowing me down too!  Well, as always, I could give a dozen reasons for my slow pace.  The backlog of commissions being one of them!

This erotic pictu...

Finished Commissions

Gotta make ends meet!  And I'm still not done with all the jobs I took on over the past few months.  Man, being in demand can be exhausting.  But it's better than the alternative!

As you can see, most of these are finished versions of 2023-06-04 13:13:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Witch Won

The goal's been met!  With the Patreon campaign reaching the $1,000.00 a month threshold, Witch Warp is going into production!  Go team!

Thanks everyone.  It means so much to have this kind of wind at my back!  I've begun making the script and thumb...

Witch Warp WIP: Panda Box

First off, let me say thank you and welcome to any and all new patrons, and to all my returning customers who have increased their donation amount!  It's so great to have your help, it's already made a huge difference in my life and art.  I'm glad to know you!

It's so inspiring, in fact, that Witch Warp is com...

Pitch Warp

I'll be posting this on all my social media warrens.  But somehow it feels presumptuous to ask, especially here, on my Patreon page, where I've had so much patience and generous support from all of you already, in spite of my halting pace.  It's hard for me to feel like I deserve this kind of support.

Still, s...

Witch Warp WIP: Pooka Zin

He seems nice.  Happy Easter/Passover/Ramadan, everyone!  If you don't fall under that umbrella, I just hope you're having a good time.  And what better time to preview a Pook?

Zin is a sibling of Black Betty, and the first of his kind that we saw in 2023-04-10 00:40:54 +0000 UTC View Post

Commissions in Progress

It seems like a good time to post some more of what I've been doing! I'm working on ten commissions in all, but these are clean enough to show off as works in progress.  Character portraits of Philomela for our good friend Simone Spinozzi, the mysterious Ze for SueZeev, a curvaceous demoness for Hat, and MihoshiK asked m...

Witch Warp WIP: The Wretch Wizard

Ooh.  Who's that guy?  Another traveler in the Outlands whom Vi and Lion are destined to encounter.  Is he good?  Is he bad?  True neutral?  Wait and see.

For the charity list this week I'm adding a GoFundMe for a trans woman and her wife who desperately want to leave Florida before things ...

Witch Warp WIP: Beat and Bite, the Orthrus

This is getting fun!  Starting to spread into the ancillary cast now.  Meet Beat and Bite, the Orthrus!  Because obscure mythological creatures deserve to be monster girls too.  Expect them to cause trouble for 2023-02-28 07:57:13 +0000 UTC View Post

Witch Warp WIP: Vibrissa

More of the same, though I think I've vastly underestimated the value of sketch pages up to this point.  Just these few drawings of Vi have fleshed out her personality.  I now have a much better idea of who she is, and what...

Witch Warp WIP: Lion

Doing some sketch work to warm up.  This is Lion, one of Witch Warp's lead characters!  I really want to show you who she is.  I want to show you a lot with the new comic!  I hope I have it in me.

It occurs to m...

Commission: Shockbox for Scribbleykins

The first of a series of commissions.  I was asked to come up with a  doodle from anything in this Something Awful forum thread.  I saw a  jack-in-the-box gif and said, "Why not?"

If you're looki...

Pook Progress

I had a mind to polish these POOK! pages. Added a "texture" layer that makes them feel more finished. I think.

By the way, if you missed the message, my commission slots are full!  Which certainly helps me out to keep me and mine afloat.  Thanks to everyone, and I'll have some new art to show off soon!

O...

Commissions Open

1/29/23: Okay! Slots are full, store's closed. Thanks so much to all customers, I look forward to showing off your characters!

I got mouths to feed before I can focus on my next comic.  So for a  limited while I'm offering character portraits!  E-mail or DM me if  you're interested!<...

Dominos: The Other Side of Ten Years

Ahh, I thought I was done with this Amphibia stuff.  Funny how your muse can leap out like a swamp creature and pull you back into the muck of your imagination, and suddenly you're stuck flailing in obsession for one more thra...

For Raven's 25th Anniversary (explicit)

Yeesh.  And after posting something as kid-friendly as an Amphibia fan comic!  You'd think after a few Black Betty pinups I wouldn't be squeamish, but let's admit, they're pretty tame compared to some of what you'll find online.

Case in point, I'm attempting to match the astoundingly bawdy farcical stylings of...

POOK! - Holiday Special

If this gives you the absolute creeps, I feel it too.  Hey, I didn’t come up with Krampus!   You can blame Alpine folklore for that.  It only occurred to me that  he may be a Pook in disguise, and I had to incorporate him ...

POOK! - Black Betty

Luvva God, why is art always so much harder than I think?  Do I really want to strap myself back onto this wheel??

Now, I’m pretty sure this wasn’t what you would’ve expected from a poem dedicated to Black Betty.  But I want kids to be able to open this book, y’know?  No nudity!  And more to ...

A Flower for Kim Jung Gi

Renowned artist Kim Jung Gi passed away recently, and his family asked for drawn flowers to be sent instead of real ones.  If you're interested, you can read more about it here.

POOK! - Page 1

I couldn't imagine a better time than the Halloween season to kick this particular project into gear.  I've grown really fond of these freaks, and I've written a series of poems that I intend to illustrate, based on the idea that each of the Vorpal Pook has a signature fairy-tale to their name.  It's my hope that I ...

The Anti-Muse

That's what I call it.  It comes in various forms, whatever takes me away from my work.  Negative feelings, obsessive-compulsive distractions, or just mundane obligations.

You ever have one of those Summers when everything needs to be fixed?  The stove exploded, we had to sell a car, we're babysitting dog...

Tiger Boy: Malchiel of the Grey Home

I don't know why I never got around to posting this, but do you remember Tiger Boy?  It was fan fiction by Stacy Dooks, set in the Zebra Girl universe, about a guy who ...

Pinup: Sally Southpaw in the Shower

I think Betty can forgive us for leaving her out of a picture or two.  I hope!

“Southpaw” Sally is a character whose story very much deserves to be told, but I never quite found enough room for her in any of Zebra Girl’s chapters.  2022-08-05 04:25:09 +0000 UTC View Post

Commission: Jael

Woof.  This one was a beast!  A commission of a very, very unique and fascinating character, this took an elephantine amount of time because I initially misunderstood the properties of the character (composing its body out of "ferrofluid", a real-life magnetic substance), and also because I settled on rendering her ...

Pinup #5: Wild Animals

Ugh.  Was that the best thing to call this picture?  Well, it's Doyenne and Black Betty about two seconds from tearing the room apart.  Don't ask me who comes out on top.

And tearing things apart seems like a nice segue back to reality, as it's certainly been a Hell of a month here in America.  You m...
