The Worstest WHM - 2017 Andrew Herrera (Clip Studio Paint)

I always loved the dorky, simple art in the original LoZ NES manual. While working on something related, I decided to do this lil’ doodle in honor of that work. The subject is Soma Yoshitoki, my (now) LVL 70 White Mage, drinking a Phoenix Down since he jumped off of a huuuuuge ledge and killed himself with no one around.

Well this is simple. Lufia and the Fortress of Doom! It was eaily one of the most challenging RPG's of its time, had a massive, sprawling world and incredible music. The music was no Darius Twin soundtrack (another incredible staple at our house) but it kept me busy for years, no exaggeration.

B.R.U.H.: Black Renditions of Universal Heroes (2016)

“The following pages lend insight and inspiration into this philosophy, as these illustrations break down exactly what BRUH means: Black Renditions of Universal Heroes. 

You’ll probably notice that all of them are women. I could’ve said heroine and you may ask why I don’t use this word, but then I’d have some questions for you.”

Markus Prime challenges the norm of illustrations often seen, by filling the disparity of black characters. His characters are constructed in a hyper reality setting and utilizes present day narratives from black culture. Born in Warren, Ohio and the son of military parents, Prime moved regularly to different areas within the United States and overseas. During each stay he would connect with those through his love for art and music. 

Social media provided Markus a localized medium to visually communicate and remain connected with those he met on and offline. His expert use with markers and infectious personality has made his social handles a meeting place for art and culture lovers.

Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry: 40th Anniversary Special Edition (2016)

“Set in Mississippi at the height of the Depression, this is the story of one family’s struggle to maintain their integrity, pride, and independence in the face of racism and social injustice. And it is also Cassie’s story–Cassie Logan, an independent girl who discovers over the course of an important year why having land of their own is so crucial to the Logan family, even as she learns to draw strength from her own sense of dignity and self-respect.” 

by Mildred D. Taylor

Mildred DeLois Taylor (born September 13, 1943) is an African-American writer known for her works exploring the struggle faced by African-American families in the Deep South.

Taylor was born in Jackson, Mississippi but lived there only a short amount of time, then moved to Toledo, Ohio, where she spent most of her childhood. She now lives in Colorado with her daughter. She has expressed her views on the Great Depression as an economical crisis, as well as slavery.

Many of her works are based on stories of her family that she heard while growing up. She has stated that these anecdotes became very clear in her mind, and in fact, once she realized that adults talked about the past, “I began to visualize all the family who had once known the land, and I felt as if I knew them, too …” Taylor has talked about how much history was in the stories; some stories took place during times of slavery and some post-slavery.

Earliest rendition of Lady Beth the pirate versus her final artwork. While the beginning of this comic seems like your usual sausage fest, I actually have more plans for female characters than male ones as the story continues. Please note that her adorable expression here is not indicative of her character as a whole; Jeff wasn’t aware of what kind of a bad ass she was going to be when I was describing her.

[pageturner-comics]

Original concept for Ketsumaru, the silent swordsman, and his familiar.

[pageturner-comics]

Earliest concept art of protagonist duo Will and Zephyr, followed by their updated, final rendition. While I’m not vegan and a pacifist, it was very important for me to create a character that intentionally went against the grain of how a shonen manga should work, and yet still maintains prominence as a character.

[pageturner-comics]

Concept-stage artwork for another protagonist, the almighty Void. He and his familiar Null run a little bit high-concept, but I’m certain they’ll quickly take their rightful spot as fan favorites :)

[pageturner-comics]

Early concept art of another character, known as Caduceus, with his familiar, Scalpel the Splitsilver Serpent.

[pageturner-comics]

Some earlier concept work on the main protagonist, Duzie.

[pageturner-comics]

Original concept for our World Map, a pangaeic landmass composed of different countries run by everything from humans and Elves to Dwarves and Gnomes to Goblins and sentient lava.

[pageturner-comics]

Original uncolored and colored art work for the main protagonist, Duzie and his familiar Krys.
