Hey hi folks! For the past couple weeks, once I was done with all my recent travels, I've been exhausted and not very productive. It's been a pretty big bummer for me. Thankfully, I've still managed to produce a bunch of stuff: Inktober has kept me busy, I did an art stream where I practiced manga-fying more of my friends, and I've been experimenting with speeding up my art style.
I can't always...

I drew a kid! (Not a squid.) Based on a friend of mine, this pic is also an experiment where I tried to bridge the gap between sketching and final line art. If I can do something that works reasonably well without doubling my time by redrawing every line super cleanly, I hope I can achieve a speed I'll feel comfortable with.
(High-res and work files uploaded to the appropriate folders!)

Hey hi folks! Sorry for the sparse updates recently, I've been incredibly exhausted lately and it's taking me so much energy just to draw a pic a day. I've been getting progressively better, though, so I hope to get back into the swing of things soon. Here's 14 more witches from @ochibrochi's witch prompts! Just one week left and I'm really pleased with how comfortable I've gotten with pen dr...

Hey hi folks! Here's my latest art stream video, where I draw faces of folks! It still boggles my mind how it's possible to draw someone recognizably with a few lines.
Files have been added to their respective folders. As always, thank you so much for your support! ❤

2016-10-16 21:54:49 +0000 UTC View PostHey hi folks! Gosh, so much has happened!
Since the last update, I spoke at a panel I helped put together for GaymerX4, I had a wonderful time at that convention, I made a lot of new friends, I made more progress with my digital art and I completed a new Design Delve series! I've been feeling very productive lately and it's done wonders for my self-esteem.
I'm about to start a new st...
Hey hi folks! Last weekend I went to GaymerX4, where I was fortunate enough to speak on a panel! Ayla, Mint and I put together a presentation on how to overcome personal inertia; basically, tips and techniques to help us do that thing we've always wanted to do. It got a lot of positive feedback and the panel itself was such a great experience that I definitely want to keep doing these in future co...

Hey hi folks! October is upon us and I'm doing Inktober again, because it's been so long since I've drawn with a pen. It's really interesting to see just how different I draw on paper compared to when I use a tablet, so I'm progressively trying to experiment with this medium to see where I go with it. I'm following @ochibrochi's 31 Witches prompt list, so expect more witches as the month progresse...

Hey hi folks! Here are the remaining 6 daily pics of Mousemaid, bringing the total to 20 consecutive takes on the same character. It's amazing how far this has taken me both artistically and creatively - I'm so in love with the character now that I have to do something more with her. I'm looking into making a comic or something like that; a way to tell her story and keep drawing cute maid outfits ...

2016-10-06 19:34:00 +0000 UTC View PostHey hi folks! Time flies when you're recovering from a convention!
The past two weeks have been incredible for me, art-wise. I've been drawing daily thanks to a personal challenge (the mouse maid series) and the progress I've made has been so motivating. I also completed my Jedi Academy Design Delve series of videos, and started a new one on Sonic games, which has been quite revelatory! I'm draw...

Hey hi folks! I'm going to be speaking at GaymerX this coming Friday, on a panel about overcoming personal inertia; essentially, techniques to help with starting and finishing projects that seem daunting or impossible. As a lead-up to that, I gave myself a challenge: take a pic I drew but wasn't happy with (the little mouse maid at the top left) and redraw it every day. That was two weeks ago.
I...

Hey hi folks! I'm currently working on two different buttons that I want to make soon; one is based on my anxiety comic (on the left) and the other, on a character I've been drawing daily as a challenge to myself - more on that later! These are still concepts for now, but I'm hoping to make a small run of the anxiety button soon so I can bring a few with me to GaymerX in two weeks. I'm slowly givi...

Hey hi folks! Yesterday I wrapped up my latest Design Delve series, where I play through a game and discuss its design. The game this time was Star Wars - Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, my favorite of the Jedi Knight games! It's not a perfect game, but I think it's the best of that particular franchise for many reasons. I hope you'll find its study interesting! :D
The videos will be released publicl...

Hey hi folks! Here's my latest pic, showing Blue driving a 4x4 that just happens to be possessed by a demon. This took way too long for me to draw. >_< Still, for a 4-hour endeavor, I did learn a lot of tricks I can use again for other pieces, and that's very motivating. Also, some of the effects I wasn't sure how to pull off - like the portal Suzi's halfway out of (she's the demon) - turned...
2016-09-13 03:13:27 +0000 UTC View PostI finally managed to complete the last of the League of Heels comics, I made an actual physical comic book out of them, I made the PAX Rumble IV poster, went to PAX West to do some meeting & greeting & merching, and came home the most exhausted I've been in a long time. But I made it, thanks in no sm...

Hey hi folks! I'm currently reorganizing my channel and will soon be putting up all my biweekly art stream videos. Here are your links to them in case you missed them - they'll be going public over the course of the coming days.
A few weeks ago, when I visited Otakuthon (an anime convention) here in Montreal, I made myself a promise: next year, I would exhibit at a convention as an artist. I figured one year, give or take, would be enough time for me to improve my skills and have a body of work I can be proud of - and sell some of it. And this weekend, at the League of Heels PAX Rumble panel, I sold my first-ever comic bo...

Meant to be a callback to various key events of League of Heels history, this strip was also a good opportunity for me to try to represent crowds in different ways (because I didn't have the time to draw everyone individually). Turns out that ...

Hey hi! The Friends at the Table button I drew and designed finally arrived in the mail! I picked the right size to get legible text, and I've learned a lot - there's not a lot of leeway with dark colors, so I should concentrate on lighter tones in designs. I'm also excited to make smaller buttons next time! :D
They get pretty expensive in small runs, but I'm glad I did it as an experiment. Next...

Hey hi folks! During my last art stream, I began cleaning up a design for a button depicting AuDy from Friends at the Table's wonderful series COUNTER/Weight. Here's the finished version! I stayed up entirely too late last night finishing it in a rare burst of inspiration. I just ordered a trial run of buttons and I can't wait to see how they turn out! I'll post an update once I have the physical ...

Art streams have continued (thanks again for helping me meet that goal!) and we finished a picture together, then started on a button design! I'll be uploading videos of that soon, and hopefully returning to Design Delve - it's been especially hard to keep doing those as I've been working very hard to get material done in antici...

Hey hi folks! To mix things up, I'll be having my art stream Saturday instead of Sunday! I've got a lot of work on my plate right now, so I'm moving things around to make sure I'm as efficient as possible. It'll start at 1 PM EDT and should stream for about two hours; I'll be starting from a sketch I posted earlier and turning it into a button! :D Hope to see you there!
