April 2024 Pinup

There were a ton of awesome suggestions for this month's pinup, but ultimately the Lifeguard Patrons chose Raven! And who can blame them? This super-powered goth girl has conjured herself some entertainment, but forgot she needed to be able to speak those three magic words to turn it off...

Physical Merch Now Available!

For a while now I've had people asking about being able to get print copies of A Polycule of Mars or Demon Layer of if I'd ever make any of the stuff I sell at conventions available for online purchase. And the answer is now: YES! ABSOLUTELY!

As a member of my Patreon, you're getting first access to my physical merch! C...

Whew! Splash pages, man. They get shockingly complicated. But I think this one is well on its way to being a real dynamite page. Lets see how much trouble Cheong and Darjoon are in...

I've been working out the next scene, where we'll shift focus to see what Darjoon and Cheong have been up to!

Sketch Cards 04-19-24

Some sketches today! Amazingly enough of all the Alice’s I’ve ever drawn over the years, I don’t think I’ve ever drawn Disney’s version.

Kirsheen is back from setting up the Probulator and she is unimpressed with the science that has been going on! You know the old Martian saying: "If you want a job done right, you need to jerk it yourself." It loses something in translation, but you get the idea.

Did ya'll see the sun disappear on Monday? That was wild! I took a trip out to Texas to see Totality and celebrate my birthday. Woo! But now I'm back in the office and I'm drawing pages again. This page should get finished up tomorrow, and then we'll be on to the next scene!

Next page WIP! Jhailee came for the fucking, but methinks she's staying for the smooching.

April 2024 Pinup Suggestion Thread

Every month, in addition to all the comics, I do an illustration based on suggestions from you, the Patrons! I work up thumbnail sketches of the most inspiring suggestions and put them to a vote of the Lifeguard Tier Patrons. Whichever sketch receives the most votes gets turned into a full color illustration! So, if there's a...

March Pinup: Jasmine and anthro-Rajah

The office reno took a little longer than I originally hoped for, which delayed finishing March's pinup... but here it is! We had a lot of excellent suggestions for March's pinup, but ultimately the Lifeguard patrons had a thirst for everyone's favorite Arabian Disney Princess.

She keeps that tiger around for more than...

Office Update!

The last week was spent redoing my office. New paint. New furniture. New… pretty much everything, and it pretty much took all week. I’ve only just gotten it back to a functional condition, and I can’t wait to start drawing in it again.

It’s a wild transformation from before…

Out of the Office

I’m going to be out of the office for a bit this week as I finally get to redo the whole thing.

Like so many artists, I’ve spent my whole career making do with what space I could. I’ve always made sure to have the tools I needed to do the work, but the space itself has often been whatever spare room was available ...

A Polycule of Mars pages 35-36

Now that's giving it your all... for science!

A Polycule of Mars pages 35-36 inks

I'm really pleased with these lines. It's going to be smoking hot when its all finished up!

A Polycule of Mars 35-36 pencils

I'm really pleased with how these pages are coming along. There's a couple of tricky angles, and that size difference is... not always easy to keep consistent. But I think we're all in for some good times!

Profile of an Artist "The Ideal Commute"

I mean, if you can make a living out of fishing... it's probably not as much fun. Art is probably one of the few careers where you can turn a hobby into a job and still have it be a good time. Even if it is a lot of work.

Alvarez talks when he's nervous... but he shouldn't be, because Jhailee is here for what he's offering.

A Polycule of Mars 33-34 inks

Damn they're cute together. They'll be even cuter when Alvarez gets his glasses back!

Sketch Cards day 3

More cards! I may not be able to part with the Elisabeth or Elster ones, I love them so! 😭

Profile of an Artist - "SHAZAM"

Admittedly, this is a joke that lands better if you're up on the different magic-user classes in D&D. But "motherfucking wizards" will never not be a funny line.

Sketch Cards day 2

I’m really pleased with how these are coming together! It’s really refreshing to crank out a bunch of little and relatively easy drawings to balance the marathon that is comic pages.

March 2024 Pinup Suggestion Thread

It's a new month! That means that it's time to solicit suggestions for this month's exclusive pinup!

The most inspiring suggestions will get sketched up and submitted to the Lifeguard Patrons for voting. Whichever they select will get turned into a full color illustration before the end of the month!

So, if you've...

February Pinup: Brinks and Cheong

Commander Jennifer Brinks and Mission Specialist Sarah Cheong engage in a little crew bonding...

I'm quite pleased with how this one came out!

Monthly Pinup Feb 2024 wip

This one has been taking me a little longer than I expected. Damn background and perspective and nonsense. So, the colors aren't going to happen until tomorrow, but I wanted to show off how it's coming together. Which I think is really well!

Sketch Cards day 1

I’m doing some premade sketch cards for AwesomeCon, which I’ll be at in 2 weeks. I’m a little mad how good a little marker makes these drawings.

Jhailee's just showing off now. And no one's mad about it.

The eternal question: touch grass or work?

APoM Thumbnails scene 1

A little sneak peek at the rest of the first scene of A Polycule of Mars part 2! Jhailee and Alvarez have themselves some fun!

Profile of an Artist 003 "Surviving the Enemy"

Art is an endless process of learning and improving and refinement and practice. The most amazing endless struggle you'll ever experience.

A Polycule of Mars pages 31-32

Alvarez makes a hell of an impression, and Jhailee may have some false impressions... but is here for it!
