NEW PAINTING

Saw photos of loons calling out in the cold and their breath made a cool wispy effect and that’s about all it takes for me to want to paint something these days.

Swablu, based on the TCG art by Jiro Sasumo.

Another 3D redraw for @poketcg-art's Pokédex collab! I immediately fell in love upon seeing the original card artwork for this, as Swablu is incredibly cute in it. This meant that my main goal was to make sure that it remained adorable in 3D, while taking a bunch of liberties in pretty much all other parts of the scene.

Original and progress gif under the cut:

Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”

Took way too much time off from working on a little comic idea I’ve had for years. I have no idea if it will ever get off the word doc seeing how my attention span is…but for now I’ve finally returned to figuring out character designs. Kyra here has been one of the hardest to nail down. I have probably four different versions of her all just not right.

This one is the closest for sure and I think I like how she’s turning out. I’ll check back in a month and probs want to change stuff but for now here’s Kyra.

I’m trying to make up for the half of my vacation I was sick lol. Here’s another character study of one of the characters from my comic idea I’ve had rolling around in my head for years.

Aspen is a down to earth person but in more of an “I give up” kind of way. They may need some help getting back that hope.

Another character study! I’m having a lot of fun messing around with fountain pens. Def an interesting difference from my usual micron pens lol.

This is Celeste. She has a life many would see as golden, but a life where masks are worn interchangeably every day in order to get through has many shadows.

I love vague labels that make people go "but that's confusing" or "but that could mean anything" Good. Keep guessing lol
