Art review for 2020! I spent most of the year nursing an injured ligament, so am proud I still managed to do all of these and make my first comic too <3

Alicia learned all her social skills from Arthurian romances.

Definitely just Alicia. Not me.

It's St. Barbara's day again. As this year's penance for all the sacrilege I put her through, have The Tower but it's a gingerbread house.

I’m old and technology confounds me.

Tumblr formatted my last five posts of four images each in three different ways and honestly I have no clue what controls that ._.

MagicalSquid 17-19 / 19 and we are done with this comic! 👏

It’s super flawed but I’m just really glad to have done this. Trying to figure out what to do next for another step up.

I think Maddie just sticking her whole entire face in that door is one of my favorite panels.

I had said no more body horror but forgot Barbara is one big lightning scar. Oops.

Sliiight mimic body horror in this set, but that's the worst the comic gets.

The silence has paid off. I finished my magicalgirl comic--my first big project ever--and want to share it here since it’s technically still pride month. Four pages a day seems a fair way to spread it out. Enjoy and I’d love to hear your thoughts! <3

I'm a week late for Trans Day of Visbility, and like three years late for Meet the Artist, but whatever. Sorry, digital handwriting is hard.

There's a million different artists' takes on Aphrodite, but have you seen the pansexual pride monstergirl version?

I promised y'all monstergirls and have seriously underdelivered, so here's a tall shark as a peace offering.

Comic Project

I've been supremely lucky to get a table at Flame Con 2020! Now I need to work hard to have my first proper comic finished for the convention. 

I'll be sharing my journey here as I work, and I'll see you live in August with the story of how a mimic squid became a Magical Girl!

Hi Venti. Brought you a turnip.

It's been a long time.

A lot has changed.

I've made some new friends

And lost some old ones.

It's been hard.

But I like to think that

Just like you

They'd be proud of me.

The obsessions have fused. The watercolor baking starts now. Send help.

Practicing some watercolor landscapes from hiking photos. I'm hoping drawing from life will help improve my fantasy painting too.
