In light of Tumblr's recent update, I ask that you please do not comment on my posts in the reblog itself. Please use the tags or replies; I'll still be able to see it, and it won't affect whether I can see notifications on future reblogs.

Tumblr screwed creatives over with this update in particular, so for now, this the best way to ensure that my art remains in a state that credits back to me. As of right now, adding to a reblog chain on a piece of artwork is almost tantamount to reposting, not through the fault of any of us, but through Tumblr's team's decisions.

Thanks!

Thank you, Tumblr, for rolling the update back!

Y'all feel free to comment on my posts in whatever way again--and thanks for bearing with me for a day, LOL.

Falling Leaves

Chapter 1 - Title

Falling Leaves is back!

The first four pages of chapter 1 are up thus far (as well as the prologue; click back to the first page if you haven't read it!); updates are one page every Monday and Friday.

Ninea, a Messenger whose duty it is to ferry vital blueprints across her planet, discovers the means of its destruction--and must help find a way to escape before its programmed death.

If you like character-driven science fiction and microbiology/cell biology, this comic's for you. The world and characters, though standalone as a setting, are based (loosely) on cell molecules and functions!

My portfolio site now features a little segment for my current work in progress, plus details on the painting process and the thought behind the piece.

The photo and descriptions will change as I proceed with the work and with future paintings. I don't fully have an email newsletter set up yet, but if you would like to preemptively subscribe to see new process photos as they come out, feel free to do so.
