Livestream Schedule

Hi all,

The next livestream will be Wednesday, February 26th, starting at 6pm CT (7pm ET) at my Twitch Channel.

I will probably be working on the art book cover and talking about some excit...

Cover Thumbnails

So, in conjunction with another project currently underway, I'm finally putting together that art book (art, mini-comics and tutorials collection).  I've got some things to show you all soon in relation to the other project, but I'm torn on the cover design for the art book and so I thought I'd ask your opinions.

A Dwupdate

I've been able to get Dwight to play with a string toy and the laser pointer, which seems to have helped put him at ease in my presence.

Also...further progress! (video here)

Step 1: Infiltrate defenses with treat spatula
Ste...

Arts

Some patron art of late. Church hasn't appeared in the comic for a while, so it was nice to have an excuse to draw him again.
Also in the mix -  the original pencil drawing for the Western Deep art because I forgot to include it in the original post.

Comic Preview

A Patron-only preview of a sizable chunk of the next comic update. It just hasn't been colored yet (sometimes I think I like things better in grayscale anyway, though).

Poster Art

These are some yet to be publicly released posters.  (They aren't directly related to Lackadaisy, of course, but I have been taking on extra work like this for a Lackadaisy-related reason - to help fund the beginning stages of something I can't wait to tell you all about.  Soon!)

The first piece is a trio of ...

Tripod Update

Little update on the injured feral cat who came for the holidays and needed a leg amputation.  He seems to have acquired the name Dwight in the meantime. Heh. I guess the marking on his head made me think of that high-domed, parted-down-the-middle hairdo.

His surgical scar has been healing up well, he eats with gu...

Manuscripts Don't Burn

Some patron art I got rather carried away with. It's a sort of a crossover piece with The Master and Margarita, a novel by Mikhail Bulgakov. As a dark comedy/satire written in the 1930s in Russia, it's somewhat amazing that it managed to survive the rampant censorship of the Soviet regime. For those unfamiliar with t...

Livestream Saturday

Hi everyone,

The next stream will be tomorrow, Saturday, January 18th, starting at 4pm CT (5pm ET) at my Twitch Channel.

I'll be working on a painting and probably talking about som...

Lackadaisy Confessional

Comics have always been difficult and challenging, but this one...this one just about broke me.  I meant to have it up three days ago, but the power of coffee has a hard limit. I am sorry to have taken so long, but I do hope it's still worth a read.

Holiday Visitor

Some of you have expressed an interest in the past in hearing more about the feline rescue situations I keep finding myself embroiled in, so I thought I'd share some more about the latest. (This is what I had to cancel/reschedule that livestream for, if you happened to read that post.)

This poor fellow is a feral cat w...

Livestream Sunday

Okay - let's try this again!

The next stream will be tomorrow, Sunday, December 22nd, beginning at 4pm CT (5pm ET) at my Twitch Channel.

I'll be working on the comic update, listening to so...

Livestream - Friday **CANCELED**

Hey,

I'm SO sorry to cancel on such short notice. I just caught a feral cat with a broken leg in a humane trap and I have to get him to the emergency vet right now.
He's been a regular visitor since summertime (I have shelters and food out for the ferals) but he vanished last week and I hadn't seen him since...unti...

Holiday Wallpapers - Ornamental, Wreath and Lumine

I hope you're all having a lovely December so far.  It's been a while since I updated the Wallpaper Library, so attached to this post are a few new ones for the season!

Each download contains a set of images in common desktop and device background aspect ratios but feel free to crop and edit them for any personal ...

Art Soup

Art board sketches, small commissions, reward art - just a few things from the past year.

Comic Update Preview

Hey all,

Some bits and pieces from the upcoming update.

Had a false start with these pages recently. I ended up being rather dreadfully unhappy with how I'd structured it and how I'd written the dialogue, and so I tore it apart for some major revisions. It's a difficult but very plot-important set of pages to ta...

Livestream Sunday

Hi all,

I'll be streaming this Sunday, November 24th, starting at 5pm CT (6pm ET) at my Twitch Channel.

I'll be working primarily on some comic art for the upcoming update, but if there's t...

Art Stuffs

Some Patron art of late - Wick, Elsa in a pre-war keepsake photo, Elsa as Elsa, a memorial portrait of Chester the cat, and Ivy.

Lacrimosa

Was going largely for a German Expressionist sort of look here (kind of an assortment of artistic movements from the early 20th century that peaked around the 1920s).

Anyway, whoops - this was morbid. But fun to draw.
Happy Halloween, everyone!!

Cat Pile

Hey, thanks to those of you who came around for the livestream yesterday. I had a great time and I hope you did too!
After wrapping up the stream, as soon as I swiveled my chair around, this is what I saw.  I hadn't even realized they were there. (It's an old futon in my art/computer room - pretty much designated cat ...

Livestream Saturday!

Stream is live now!

Inspiration

Been working on comic dialogue rewrites lately. Frustrating.

Artwork PSD Files

Hey all,

I had a request for higher resolution versions of these. You'll find PSD files for each attached to this post. I included some layers I still had in my working files too, so you can sort of see my approach from early stages to completion.

Are downloadable, layered PSDs something you'd like more of in th...

Q&A Chat Transcript

Hey all,

Some of you might have heard that, due to a recording glitch, the audio file for the last Discord Live Chat was corrupted.  Sorry about that!  I did have some notes to work from for all of the pre-submitted question...

Mrs. Bapka

Request was a challenging one - young, human Mrs. Bapka on her wedding day. She looks a bit like a Slavic Gelfling...but I suppose that's more or less what she is. =P
Lots of clothing reference used. Slovakian traditional garments are prettier than I've managed to convey here.

It's Drocky the Rockon

Some art some of you might recognize from the last livestream.  The prompt was for Rocky as a dragon.

Livestream Saturday

Hey all,

I'll be streaming tomorrow, Saturday, September 28th, starting at 4pm CT (5pm ET) at my Twitch Channel.

I'll be working on some reward art, and I'll try to fit in a request sketch ...

How About A Chat?

Hey everyone,

The Lackadaisy Discord will be hosting a chat session this Wednesday, September 25th, starting at 7:00pm ET / 6:00pm CT.

If you have any questions about Lackadaisy, art or somethi...

Lackadaisy Illumination

Hey all,

Sorry for being so quiet the first part of this month. I was going to post a much smaller preview of this, but decided to just plow through and make it more like a full update instead. This is still a Patron-only look at the new chapter for now, though.
