I’ve been messing around in Procreate lately trying to get a hang of it, and Max Ulichney’s MaxPacks have been excellent in helping to bridge the gap from Photoshop! Highly recommend.

I’m a book illustrator now?? The paperback edition of John Dies at the End 3 by David Wong is out today and my illustration is in it! 

Check out JDATE3 here

As a sidenote--I cannot recommend the John Dies series enough, and to be published alongside one of my favorite authors is an honor

Golly, Malzahar got his rework back in 2016 didn’t he? >.> Here’s some rework stuff for him I did back in 2014! Lots of variations, figuring out if he should lean more towards Shurima or the Void.

"Did you know that the concept of soulmates originates with Plato? It was a myth wherein humans were originally born with four arms, four legs, and a head with two faces. Zeus separated the creatures into two halves, condemning them to seek one another for eternity. He knew they'd be weaker having to search for each other - exhausting them by keeping them apart, and thus relegating them within the confines of his reign. 

Devastating, isn't it?"  - Olivie Blake
