#OMG: Minor Character Illustration!

With Check, Please!  ending, I thought it’d be fun to draw some of the more minor characters from the comic. I wonder how these characters will look like with my 2020 drawing abilities?? Who should I tackle first?

  • Project Freetail. This is the project that is a  collaboration with a "larger comic company." It's still touch and go! 😩 Working with publishers and companies has been very different from making Check, Please! and throwing it up online.

Process: Adjusting A Stay (J&W fanart)

Process: Adjusting A Stay (J&W fanart)

What ho and all that! If you didn't know, I'm a big fan of Jeeves & Wooster, a series of humorous stories and novels by P.G. Wodehouse. I live for Bertie getting in the soup, Jeeves extracting him from said soup, and for man and gentleman's gentleman soldiering forth to the next misadventure with a tally-ho.

Here's a step-by-step breakdown of an illustration I did recently! View Post

Day & Weekes #3 - The Duel

Day & Weekes #3 - The Duel

It's an episode of dueling and diversions: first, Captain Thomas Day keeps his word and participates in a mock-duel with Dr. Richard Weekes. You might call the match a toss-up. And then, finally--we get some chess. 

"...for Tom, chess was not a battle, nor a duel--it was a dance. And it was a dance that left one with endless knowledge of his partner--Just as so much cruc...

Chirpbook Progress (Long Post 😅)

Hello patrons! 👋👋👋 I wave to you from that mysterious, lonely, atemporal land that exists under all rocks. This is where I have been living since November and while I was toiling away at the CHIRPBOOK. Which is done, mostly. I'm doing my best to proofread this evening so that we can get the book sent off to the printer before the 23rd or 24th.
