A work in progress side project

So I'm working on a side project for fun and maybe profit?? Who knows. It involves making a hand puppet of my possum fursona. In my spare time ive been watching tutorials and learning how to make patterns for 3D objects.

Home-Bound Pitch packet (spoilers removed)

So I just sent the Home-Bound pitch off to a few publishers, and as I mentioned before I'm sharing it here for the curious. However, though "don't censor spoilers" won the poll, it was advised I still redact details because I added a new publisher to the list of those I was sending it to, and it seemed better to hedge my bets...

Sharing Home-Bound pitch: Spoilers censored?

People expressed interest in me sharing the Home-Bound pitch I'm sending to Hiveworks, so I will, but I'm curious if people would prefer it be with spoilers blacked out or not. Giving y'all chance to say. 

Character designs for upcoming webcomic (Home-Bound)

So I'm finally biting the bullet and putting together a submission for Hiveworks. I'm gonna be submitting Home-Bound as a webcomic and am working on a small pitch packet.

With that in mind I finally sat down and figured out how I want the characters to look. Porrima and Hitch have had the most changes. Hitch just needed...

Feel free not to payout for May or divert money to BLM causes

I only had 1 post in May, and it was just some pages demonstrating the contract comic gig that kept me so quiet and busy for months. Now I'm getting back up to speed with other jobs, and have stuff to show, but didn't want to cram it into the last week of May just to justify a Patreon payout. That felt insincere and weird. Li...

Please feel free to not pledge this month!

I have been busy with family drama, quarantine stuff, depression and jobs I can't share previews of, so I've had no content for Patreon or time to produce content just for Patreon.

Secondly, while I am between income sources and a payout is appreciated: I am fine. Whether I like it or not, I'm with my family and I at le...

Worldbuilding: Home-Bound - The Darned

In my last worldbuilding post I talked about "threads," and what cutting and mending/darning them means. Today I'm talking about The Darned. This is less spoiler-y than the last post, but there are some underneath the image I've provided.

So, like I said: when objects and people are "cut" by Rend and "sewn" by Darn, som...

Worldbuilding: Home-Bound - Porrima and Remnants

If you're interested in someday reading Home-Bound when I make it (the comic with the rat girl), don't read past the drawing in this post, as its nothing but Spoilers.

Porrima lives on a floating island in a pocket dimension that circles Mainland Earth, and twice a year when the orbits are close enough, there is a bridg...

Apologies for lack of February posts

I'm fixing this today and the following week, but I got hired to do a rush coloring job for the month of Feb on a comic I don't own any intellectual copyright to, and that's mostly been what I've been working on, on top of picking up trainer shifts at the restaurant that's my day job. So I haven't been in a position to share ...

Horny sketch for fun

a warm-up. Wanted to doodle these 2 horny idiots.

Spoilers I guess? They both start out as rivals in that lesbian space harem comic but by the mid-point realize they're super into each other, and all their fighting over the protag was out of their own weird-ass sexual tension.

Faux Holofoil Sparkle tutorial (Clip Studio Paint)

I have finally sat down to start making Patreon-first tutorial videos, and today's is about a sparkle effect I wanted to learn, did, and thought I'd share.

Note: The video is unlisted, which means its private so long as y'all don't share the link. I'll make it public on Youtube someday, but not yet. So please respect th...

Sent off a pitch packet

I've mentioned that I've been prepping a Starry Knight pitch, and I figured Patreon was a good place to share that I've actually sent it off to the first publisher on my list. Well technically, its the 2nd publisher on my list, but a friend with an editor there gave me their email because I might have something t...

Black and White Style practice for Starry Knight

I did a live stream where I practiced some style stuff for Starry Knight, primarily how I want it to look in black and white/grayscale. The one I like more (with her hilt-wand raised) leaned on inking way harder than the other one did. That seems like a good direction.

Starry Knight - Costumes + Upgrades

Trying to finalize the costumes and their story-relevant permanent upgrades. Can't have a proper magical girl comic if their costumes don't change after Character Development, y'all.

Iris and Angel pencil previews 83-84

Just some pencil previews! Tidying these up for approval/inks

Character Design Dev Work for A Thing

Here are some character designs for a project I'm working on with a team. I'm being vague cuz it's not going into production until next year, and its not my sole project so I don't know what I'm allowed to say about it while we do dev work. But I am ok to share a few doodles if I am Mysterious.

Anyway, this is me brains...

Starry Knight concept art - Waverly

Long story short, an opportunity to do a pitch for Starry Knight as a published comic after the year ends is coming. So I'm gonna be working on finalizing designs so I can put the pitch packet back together after Christmas.

So expect to see a bit of that here as I draw and write it up.

Something I'm still trying t...

Clowntober #3 - "Bait"

Another clowntober! Wanted to do something cuter than the last one, so enjoy this clown fish mermaid. I now am in love with her and wanna draw more of her.

She can fit in your hand.

BTW, for convenience all my posts are phone pics, when Inktober is over I'm gonna scan them all properly and compile them into a down...

Clowntober #2 "Mindless"

I wish I hadn't colored this and just left the inks but it's too late now, I got carried away!

Clowntober #1

So I'm gonna be doing a themed Inktober for Patreon! This first post will be public but the rest of the month will be $2 Patreon-only.

I'm following the "official" Inktober theme list, but clown-themed. Here's #1. I had to buy new fineliners cuz I haven't inked traditionally in a very long time!!

When I'm done, I...

NSFW - Horny Spoiler-y Space Harem doodle

Doodled this and realized it was a little spoilery for my future lesbian space harem comic? So I'm sharing it here, where all spoilery doodles go.

Gelada and Lav basically start out as rivals fighting over someone, but later become exclusive girlfriends with eachother. Just two property destroying lesbian aliens.

Apologies for lack of September posts!

Just sayin I'm super sorry for lack of September posts. Its been a weird month for a few reasons and its resulted in me not having a ton to share on Patreon this month, but a TON next month. So October is gonna be a big month for sharing comic pages and development stuff.

So if people choose to cancel their September pl...

Patches concepts (MKR character) NSFW

 Drawing I'm posing to Patreon. I had a dream that the MKR cat girl (in future chapters) had quilted patch work ears instead of "real" cat ears, but that were totally a part of her, and fell in love with the idea. So now she's named Patches.  ...but then wasn't sure how far to take the rest of concept.

 i...

Regarding the influx of posts during June.

Y'all may have noticed that I've been sharing a lot more here after about mid-June. For those who don't know, I quit my waitress day job a little under 2 weeks ago as I transition into full-time comic work. This means I can actually make extra content, but also that I have a lot of projects to work on, and therefore share pre...

Sketch of Ellie and Rachel (Toxic Witches) and some character details

Previously only shared on my private twitter, I'm trying to restrict most of my Toxic Witches sketches to private or Patreon since its actually being developed slowly and I DO wanna keep some of it mysterious in the lead-up.

Anyway, I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but Ellie and Rachel are best friends when the...

Thumbnail/sketch for future illustration - Rachel and Ellie

A quick sketch version of a stylized illustration of Rachen and Ellie I wanna do later. One of those illustration that needs a little more planning than I'd usually do.

Pre - Protag of Lesbian Space Harem comic idea (bio and story details)

I talk a lot about a kinda raunchy lesbian space harem-anime-inspired comic I wanna do eventually, and figured I could start writing about it for Patreon along with the other ideas actively in development.

So our protagonist, Pre. Her name is lazy because I kept just calling her "protag" and settled on Pre as a code. An...

Iris and Angel Ch 4 pg 75-76 pencils

Pencils for Iris and Angel

Still working little by little (224 inks)

I haven't had a lot of time to draw on comics over past few days but damnit I spent them on this.

LMN 224 Ink Preview (WIP) - Plus some news

Sorry I haven't been very active! I was hoping to have some things done before the month ends, but May was a chaotic month. I've actually finally been making progress on LMN pages, and have a bunch to ink and share with y'all. I want to get a buffer built up, ideally.

I also have another project a publisher e...
