Hi guys! Needed a bit of a break this month, so I've been working hard seeing if I can put together a music video for a friend. I've been experimenting with styles, if you can guess what cartoon I've been using as a style guide for these I'll be so happy!

I wanted to show you a small side project I've done! Adoptables are a type of character design. People tend to collect characters and use them for art or storytelling, the way you might use an original character.
I'll be gradually releasing the characters on my social media and taking bids on them, but I thought it woul...

Now we know .. how Nervana got her manager. This is one of the reasons that my social media has had the 'default man face' icon for over a year now ( eg. on https://twitter.com/slimgiltsoul ). I'm wondering if I want the managers to be like. Summoned. fr...

It's time to delete our YouTube channel... I'm trying to get up to the speed for comic making that I had when I was making 'The Pervert'.

I'm so glad they are finally interacting. I'm still figuring out if this is going to be greyscale or color. Greyscale, I could make comics faster - it's tempting for sure. What do you think?

finally ... nervana comic.. very exciting. This is low res since the final version (shaded/colored) is going to be scanned in all over again.

A lot of people said they couldn't tell if I'd had surgery in real life or if it was just a Nervana thing. I feel like that's a sign I'm running the project successfully lol.
Thank you for your continued support! I've started pencilling Nervana comic properly.

It starts getting good now. Skulls, cats, and the Nic Cage saga begins. I introduce twitter to the #30daysOfCage hashtag. No one else participates. I also fail to complete the 30 days.
There's no reason for it, I just like senseless concepts with high production value.

I realised I should really be drawing in pen, even though I worry about making mistakes. I'm really glad you like seeing my sketches and explanations.

Hi guys! Since I'm recovering from surgery still, I realised I have a great opportunity to compile the learning I've been doing privately. I'll continue to write it up in this style.

- If you also draw, or are learning. feel...

I've been working soo hard since I have surgery on wednesday. Here's Nervana's first photobook - it collects all major posts and plot points so far.
I'll be looking into getting it printed in the future, but just sticking to a digital release for now. Thank you for your support, it means a lot to me;;

Hey! I put this up on gumroad and wanted to include it here. It includes about 5 years of comics;; It was actually too big to attach on patreon, so I put it on Google Drive for you.

I had a request to show my work process. I tried hard to outline all the steps I take with the average piece these days. Attached is the full .psd with all the layers, and a copy of the final piece.
If you have any questions, I'm happy to share.

I needed to balance out the pacing towards the end, so added some extra party scene pages. Logo design by Jorden Haley (the guy that does logo + merch design for MSI). I was really honored to get to work with him.
I still have a way to go before I'm happy with the book - I'm going to be re / extra coloring potentially a...

A fake album cover for Kiki's favourite band .. the logo for the actual comic isn't done yet, but hopefully I should be working with a cool designer. I hope you like the zombie AU!
Thank you for your support.

I don't know if you can tell, but I'm so proud of this stuff. I think the '920' book is kind of about the tension between reality / fantasy, especially in your early twenties. It's really satisfying to make some art that's completely the mid 2000s dream.

Since my laptop failure I re-made my old photoshop brushes:
I'll actually try to release some textures/stickers for everyone to use next much! Don't worry if you don't use photoshop, I'll be putting some png/transparent background sheets together, which should work with pretty much everything.

I'm so happy that I managed everyone's request. The quality varies, which is one of the most fun things about taking requests for me - I always do my best, but I get carried away with some.

One of the hardest parts of making a book is the last push over the finish line. The book is 'technically done', but the effort I put in now is going to affect the finished piece. Here is the first set of chapter break illustrations!
I'll be putting together an updated PDF as the project becomes fully finished. I also w...

I'm starting to rough out Nervana's comic, along with script work for her. The scripts and notes aren't the kind of thing I can post yet without spoiling the project, so I'm also trying to do nice 'concept pieces' of her.
She also has an interview with Threadless coming up about her t shirt designs, which is excit...
