Comic Artist | Omnisexual | he/she/they | Creator of the scifi action webcomic: Vital Impact, on Tapas | You're mostly just gonna find lots of OC, Sonic, and Bone (Jeff Smith) posts here so buckle up
Here’s a new poster for my shonen-inspired, sci-fi action webcomic, Vital Impact!!
The plot:
“A kind-hearted super-powered boy named Token, joined by his new plucky bounty hunter friends, goes on a grand perilous journey across the stars to free the galaxy from the war-lords and celestial monsters that rule it with an iron fist.”
It’s got an LGBTQI+ cast, fun character designs, comedy, drama, and big exciting action sequences!!
Nearly 200 pages all available to read for free on Tapas: https://tapas.io/series/Vital-Impact/info
THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING ME?!?!?! Your bone fanart is so cool and i love your art a ton
Here's a Fone Bone!! Hc him wearing a scarf since it's kinda weird he's the only "naked" one if that makes sense lol
The way you drew him is really unique and charming! I like the way you drew his nose especially. I really appreciate the art, and thank you for the kind words =D
An expression exploration sheet for Token, my webcomic protag!!

I have taken off 6 months of work to help my mom prepare my grandfather's home to sell and finalize his estate. I have done this at a significant personal financial loss, and am asking for help to get back on track while I resume looking for freelance work.
I don't know how to ask for help. I'm not famous, I'm not special, I hardly draw anything anymore. I don't have a natural way to make people like me. I am just panicked in a hole and I need help. I can't even offer comms right now, I just... need help. I can't do anything in return, except maybe be able to draw some better pictures in the future.
Livie is an incredibly kind person and immensely skilled artist who truly deserves so much better. So if you have the extra funds, it’d be so helpful of you to send some her way so she can get herself out of this unfortunate rut. If you don’t, then pls pls pls share this so others and help her reach her goal, it’d be really kind of of you.
Some Vital Impact OC drawings!! These guys only show up in the second half of the overall planned narrative... so who knows if I'll ever get to truly show them off in the pages lol

A page of Thone doodles from this morning, because they still have a chokehold on my heart (and I’m planning on rereading Bone for the 40th time soon as well). I have a new Thone fic in the works as well, hoping to finally have it done sooner or later!! (also, the “chew” sound effects are supposed to be “chu”, pls ignore that fghjhkj)
In this video, I want to pitch Jeff Smith's classic BONE. While some might have only heard about the series to the recent cancellation of the Netflix adaptation or might only remember reading it as a kid, this video seeks to explore the value this series has with it's lack of complete adaptations.
