Dani and Sheena revive their dream of rocking the world! But can they work together? Will they fall for each other? 

It’s been hard work to produce graphic novels not just these past five months but also since 2019 when I embarked to have a fully fledged shop of self published original stories. I really hoped this could be my “career” or whatever. I haven’t been able to do that but maybe someday. If you can please consider dropping some support on my Ko-Fi page!

STARLIGHT the graphic novel drops THIS FRIDAY, JUNE 5th on my KO-FI SHOP!

It’s been hard work these past months to crank out this project but it’s finally finished and ready to share on my Ko-Fi shop! Of course the weekly updates will continue on Tapas! However, the book here will be full length to the end, hi-res pages, uncensored (wink wonk) and have additional artwork of designs and illustrations! It’s a way to directly support the artist (me) to keep making comics for y’all!

Anyways please check my comics on Tapas and my commissions on Ko-Fi! Times are hard…

!!!HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!! !!!TRANS RIGHTS!!!

Thank you all so much for your continued support of my projects brought to you by this shy lil enby comic artist and illustrator. I made this piece back in 2023 and decided to update it with my newer characters! 

To anyone who’s out or still trying to figure themselves out, you’re loved and valid and I believe in you! In the current state of the world our mere existence is perceived as a threat, to stay alive, find joy and help where we can is our resistance. Love is our resistance. Let no one take your pride!

At Shackleton Moonbase, Andy (they/them) and Lyra (she/her) continue gunning for the crater’s edge! But they’re being pursued by some unknown hostile force! Also ERNIE their trusty bot companion is there too. 

I love teasing out story moments in these illustrations like some found footage thing or screenshots of an unaired cartoon. Now that STARLIGHT is wrapped up and is planned to release next Friday, I hope I can start the Shackleton Moonbase webcomic soon after as prepared as I can be! 

Still have some characters to design and certain environments to create but uh, I hope I can do in time! Please check out my comics on Tapas and my commissions on Ko-Fi! Being broke is hard…

Rainbow! I used this color scheme for Western Regions comic covers back in 2022 and I love to bring it back can! 

This was at first just a fun small warm up but it turned into a redux of an older 2023 banner piece that I still really like. Put into a square I think looks cool and as I said evokes a time of when this series was arguably at its peak. 

I hope even tho Western Regions is finished for now it can still be my flagship series that I’m known for. Even in the midst of new projects coming about this year.

Some more Zero and the Cyberhunters art! 

I just wanted to see more of Zero and the gang in action against digital monsters in the real world. As usual these concept images are more about just creating a cool picture about what could happen not making canon just yet. I like exploring this new world which is funny cos I already have so many story worlds it can become a lot to keep track all of it in my head or my notes. I dunno, hopefully y’all can keep track of the chaos too lol. Yes as stated before the digital monsters represent human greed, theft and environmental destruction manifested in evil tech gone awry and our heroes aim to defeat it once and for all.

Zero and Maya collage! 

I like to figure out character dynamics with these collages. It’s all still conceptual and very much still in progress but I like where it;s going so far. Story-wise, Zero and Maya become best friends after Zero saves her life from a digital monster attack. Maya is the first human Zero meets and begs for a place to stay where Motherboard won’t be looking for them, (Zero essentially ran away from cyberspace to live as a normal human teenager). Maya begrudgingly agrees, hoping to pass Zero off to someone else but eventually comes around to like having them around. Zero is so naturally curious of the world, naive but also very intelligent, they just have never interacted with humans before. Maya becomes their guide of sorts. 

Anyways enough lore, please check out my comics on Tapas and my commissions on Ko-Fi! Or don’t. Idk anymore. ;;

My yearly single contribution to Mermay! 

I don’t do the whole month but I like to come into the trend and offer my own thing. Back in 2018 I did a whole bunch of colorful mermaids in this same vain. Defenders of Atlantis pissed at you for fucking up their oceans. I did a green one last year so a blue this year and who knows maybe a red one next year idk lol.

How Amanda and Liz get any work done is beyond me.

At Shackleton Moonbase, Andy and Lyra navigate an abandoned base on their way out of the crater. Will this be where they can finally call for help? 

With STARLIGHT wrapping up and releasing within the next month, Shackleton Moonbase will be right around the corner to begin as my next webcomic! It’s been fun teasing out story beats for what was such a brand new concept just a year ago and now it’s fully written and ready to begin once I’m set. Note that these illustrations are not necessarily canon but are rather concept art that depicts how the story could look or go. The webcomic will have some differences but the characters and main plot beats will def be consistent. 

In short, please look forward to when this comic drops in the next few months and be ready to be surprised! Please check out my webcomics on Tapas and my commissions on Ko-Fi!

STARLIGHT collage! 

After Dani’s photoshoot, Sheena does one of her own… I love drawing my STARLIGHT blorbos Dani and Sheena being silly together. Doing spicy art is fun once in a while, makes for really good practice.

STARLIGHT collage! Dani and Sheena do photo shoots to promote themselves and their work but Dani by far has mor experience playing to camera and loves trying different presentations. Sheena gets a kick out of it, seeing her partner/bandmate go for it lol. But of course, Sheena knows how to get at Dani. 

Please check out my comics on Tapas for more! And if you can please consider supporting my work on Ko-Fi with either tips or a commission! I could really use the help!

Warm up doodle of Dakota and Sydney from Western Regions! 

I like making wholesome art when I feel down so I draw my blorbos hugging each other. It doesn’t change anything but it makes a cute doodle. As I keep saying, I hope I can keep Western Regions around even in small arts as i make brand new projects.

More Zero and the Cyberhunters art! 

I wanted to show more of Zero in battle inside cyberspace, the Uncanny Valley city and what Zero’s room looks like. Cyberspace is austere, almost barren. Also that Zero sorta has Motherboard issues lol. Motherboard cares deeply for Zero but forbids them from interacting with humans. Zero heeds this warning, but still wishes to be one of them and chafes at routine. They don't always see eye to eye, prompting Zero to finally break out of Cyberspace and enter the city of Uncanny Valley, where they make new friends. Only of course to realize that monsters followed them to the real world...

Programs perform their perfect functions like ants in a farm while Zero wishes for more, to be human. In the real world, Zero’s battles are different as Zero contends with gravity, air resistance and collateral damage. Cyberspace buildings are easily restored but irl, it’s costly. 

And inside Zero’s room, it’s meant to feel very clinical, like a lab. Zero sleeps on a charging mat. The cables to their backpack SSD are just for syncing the day’s work. I love developing this project even further, while I can say what this’ll turn into in the future, I just like toying with this new idea!
