An autumn chill had gripped the night, the moon hung like a pearl, The men rode out to find a wolf, They only found a girl.
How strange to find her in the wood, with jetsam in her hair, And barnacles upon her skin, No ocean near to there.
In the morning, the men were found, they lay among their guns, Their eyes were wide, their breath lay still, seawater filled their lungs.
You guys, I’m kinda obsessed with Blade Runner now.

Could not ask for a better day! (at Pocomoke River State Park)
Who doesn’t like a good creation myth every now and then?
I had a lot of fun with this one! ^_^
An old sketch from 2009. I like to revisit pieces and while working on the Wildersea, I repurposed the characters. You can find the post here.
Process stuff!! Putting together a new demo reel and trying to come up with a good open card/intro. But at the moment, she’s just for fun.
What is the true cost of piracy to an independent creator?
I just saw a torrent site that had more than a thousand illegal downloads of my Photoshop Megapack … in 24 hours. Seriously, how many people use Photoshop out there?! I mean, of course I’m upset, but I’m equally baffled by this number - I didn’t realize that many people had an interest in making digital art. It’s nuts.
Artists stealing from artists. I can’t understand it.
And I am always afraid to raise my already insultingly low prices BECAUSE I am afraid of more piracy. So, what am I supposed to do here?
The sad truth is that I either DO need to raise prices to make up for the gross number of thefts and keep my income stream from diminishing (which would, of course, make them less affordable for students and young pros), or I need to completely change the business model somehow to somehow fight piracy. I don’t know how to change it, exactly, but since piracy of my products has been steadily increasing every year since I started, I need to figure something out.
Final thought: If just 5% of those people had bought legally, I’d have made $750 today. Okay, okay - that thought will definitely not improve my mood.
If you are a victim of piracy of your creative products, and you have some thoughts on this topic, I welcome them in comment form. Also, if you agree that this behavior is disgusting, and that we artists should be supporting one another, rather than acting like cannibals, then PLEASE REBLOG. Perhaps, if we make a little noise, it will at least make people reconsider using torrent sites when they realize that working artists are behind all of the creative products they love: music, art, film - all of it.
Thanks for reading. - Kyle
Guys, seriously. I use these brushes and pay the ridiculously low price for them. Whether it’s an torrent of a movie or one of my Darkwing comics or these brushes. Taking these for free is stealing.
You all follow the wisdom of Ian Malcom, right? I think he said it best (paraphrasing)…
“You were so preoccupied with if you could do something, you didn’t stop to think if you SHOULD”
Sorry for the re-blog but this sort of thing really really pisses me off.
I use @kyletwebster brushes on literally a daily basis, and I have more top quality brushes than I know what to do with. All at a stupidly low price. On top of that, Kyle updates his mega brush pack for free on a regular basis, and my brush collection has gotten to the point where I don’t actually have enough time to use each and every brush made available for free to me after I actually bought the brush pack.
I can’t think of a single situation in any of my paintings where I would need a brush that Kyle hasn’t already made for me and that works better than any brush I could make. Even for non-pro or student artists, seriously, $15 for an ever growing brush set (and that’s assuming you go for the most expensive pack) of studio grade tools is ridiculously cheap. It wouldn’t even cover most peoples weekly spend at Starbucks.
Just buy the bloody brush packs. If you’re in the market for one, you’ll not find anything better at any price, and picking Kyle’s pocket to save a few bills is such a dick move.

For those wondering, the unicorn was fashioned (roughly) after this odd looking fellow, Synthetoceras. But about the size of Eohippus.
I keep forgetting to share these on my regular tumblr. Though, I probably should have chosen a better one to remember :/
“And so, perhaps, the truth winds somewhere between the road to Glastonbury, Isle of the Priests, and the road to Avalon, lost forever in the mists of the Summer Sea.”
I don’t get around to painting all that often but I might want to reconsider that after this little gem.
The Adventures of Prince Achmen. 1926. German. The oldest surviving animated film in history.
I am sorry BUT THIS IS NOT JUST “GERMAN” PLEASE DO NOT FORGET THE NAME OF THE ARTIST.
THIS WONDERFUL MOVIE WAS MADE BY LOTTE REINIGER! SHE WAS ONE OF THE PIONEERS OF ANIMATION!!!! SHE MADE OVER 40 FILMS IN HER CAREER USING A TECHNIQUE SHE INVENTED WITH HER HUSBAND! WALT DISNEY ENDED USING HER MULTI PLANE TECHNIQUE IN HIS OWN MOVIES! AND SHE FUCKING MADE THE FIRST FEATURE LENGTH ANIMATED MOVIE!! (she ended up fleeing Nazi germany eventually work in north america, both us and canada, on other movies.)
This woman is one of the most important figures in animation HISTORY!
Have a little memoriam movie the animation school Goblin did in her honor.
Look, I love Winsor McCay but I’m extremely pissed that my animation history class in college focused on him and did not mention Lotte Reiniger at all.
Wow! For the longest time, I’d only known this film as “Made in Germany”. I’d say this is some pretty fucking important information that seemed to get left out in history.
Hey guys! Little announcement! I have my very own Patreon for “To The Wildersea”! It will go toward supplies, advertising, dog food, my ever growing mountain of books and people food! If you sign up for it, there’s a “sister” comic to the Wildersea called “Fun with Gus”, which YOU can vote on how it goes. I have some real fun plans for it! You can find it at http://ow.ly/Y8JqJ
Thanks so much!
More Star Wars whatnots. Just being silly. Also, I want a gay Poe Dameron SO. BAD.
Stormtroopers
Watching the Force Awakens, I think in all the fire fights (that weren't villagers being slaughtered) the stormtroopers only hit Chewie. Once. In the arm. I know, it's a given that Stromtroopers are terrible shots. But then look at Finn. He hits almost everything he shoots...once the helmet's off. This leads me to believe the First Order really should probably ditch the Empire's black out eye design. Don't think it's helping them. Just sayin'
And that, my friends, is the end of chapter one! Start with a bird, end with a bird. I’ll be honest with you, when I started, I didn’t think I’d get this far. A year before this, I tried my first animated webcomic and it barely made it six weeks before the whole thing collapsed. So to be here at week 23 feels like quite the accomplishment. I have a long way to go but I look forward to it. I wanted to take a moment to thank you guys for reading/liking/commenting/sharing/ect. I’ve never received a response from anything I’ve done and to see folks who enjoy the work as much as they do really makes it worth it. So, while it may sound silly: thank you for enjoying this. So after a little break, chapter two should start up on Bill Murray’s favorite day, February 2nd (Groundhog Day). Hope to see you then!
Chapter One, book it, done!
I swore my first piece of Star Wars fan art would be Finn, since he’s my favorite character. Or Poe, since he’s bae. Or BB8, since they’re also bae. But this idea popped into my head and I went with Rey (not that I don’t love Rey just as much as the others). Maybe I went with this because I know what it’s like to wait for a ship that’s never going to come along. Also, I friggin love her hair.
It’s been a lot of build up from a while, but I can safely say things get interesting from here on out.
