The Diary of a Strange, Weak and Determined Creature

An only slightly fictional diary of my life in comic form. Start at the beginning!

Hi everyone! I’m Jessamyn Pratt, AKA Pertelote the Red Wolf online, and I could use … Jessamyn Pratt needs your support for Help Jessamyn Get Bottom Surgery!

Depression’s been hitting me hard lately. I’ve been telling myself that it’s okay to rest.

[determinedcreature]

Still working on the new site. At least I’m still horrifying my coworkers!

[determinedcreature]

I’m not sure if this counts as filler art or a promise. My journal update here would honestly be that I’m working hard to bring Dragoness, my desired second comic, to life.

Here we have our main character, dorky indie game dev and 12 foot tall dragon. What crazy adventures is she going to get up to? Just wait and see!

[determinedcreature]

Whelp! So beings my hunt for a new primary platform. I don’t post explicit content here, but I do discuss some things tumblr may not like in this new era. Here’s to hoping I find a new home!

This was a commission I did for a friend of mine who is helping me learn how to draw. I look at it and see nothing but flaws, but I know it’s better than some of my other stuff. Thanks pal!

[determinedcreature]

Just posting this here to make sure you folks get something. I admit, it’s been a crazy week.

The pic was a quick sketch for Opti of the Neo Anarchist Podcast fame. Check out his stuff! http://neo-anarchist.com/

Sorry for the slow updates, I have been practicing my color and shading and it’s really tricky.

[determinedcreature]

And now it’s time to fight.

I have a long way to go with shading, just like the world has a long way to go before it heals from the nightmares we’ve seen cropping up.

But recent events have suggested just a shred of hope for the universe, and I’m  taking a moment to appreciate that.

Hoi Chummers! I’ve been putting together a Shadowrun Game and it is both incredibly fun and ludicrously complicated.

The way things are going it could also come in handy. In general principles at least.

[determinedcreature]

Support virtually every minority if you can.

[determinedcreature]

Joan gets a lot of repeat messages of me complaining. I need to do something nice for her.

[determinedcreature]

I may end up expanding this into a full educational comic, but I wanted to get some serious shading practice in. Special thanks to Dawn KE for some last minute advice!

[determinedcreature]

This is another design I did for the Trans Liberation Art Coalition. It wasn’t very popular, but I liked it.

[determinedcreature]

This is a truly shitty comic, but I had to get it down on paper. This happened tonight and it’s the only time I’ve asked a manager to check out a customer for me.

[determinedcreature]

Doing some buttons for another art show!

[determinedcreature]

Yes. Someone actually spent their time to do this.
