Collage of six work-in-progress inked shots of my manga chapter, featuring some of the main characters.

I am very alive and hard at work (trying...)!

Some chapter sneak peeks in the meantime :)
(chose them at random but oddly they feel like half a summary of this and many things to come 😅)

Have returned from temporary exile with h̶a̶l̶f̶-̶d̶e̶p̶l̶e̶t̶e̶d̶ ✨saving-mode✨ forces for finishing up this 63-page chapter that I've affectionately baptised Behy (short for Behemoth cause 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 the 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 chapter had to be three times the size of a normal one).
Will update on my vitals... and sneak peeks.

First chapter of my manga Golden Tiger releases January 16th 2026! Chapters will update monthly.

All chapters will be available entirely for free on my website: stoareese.com/manga/

Keep an eye on this account, the website page or my yt channel for more details :)

More videos coming to yt soon 🤫

Small re-edit (wasn't happy with the yt shorts version).
My old first attempt at some sort of 2d rig (?) in clip studio paint. Was so happy to get it done then cause it scared me and took some time.

As for these two, guess who punched the lights out of the other's bullies...

Making a typo right before complaining of a silly mistake feels borderline poetic. I shall hold back on the puns and just. Sleep.

I'm away for a few more days, so here's another of the older animatics I made.

Mitas is tyring her best and so am I... Can you spot the tiny colouring mistake I made ON SEVERAL FRAMES, NOTICED TOO LATE AND NEVER WENT BACK TO FIX?🙃

Meet your... protectors?

Main cast of my manga Golden Tiger: Fera, Mitas, Aqua and Petra, Earth's "official" guardians (temporary license...) tasked with ensuring planetary peace.

What could go wrong when half the planet hates your boss and you by extension?

I have no clue how anything on this platform works. But I will figure it out soon enough. Probably.

Excited to be here, regardless.

I am Reese and have come here to plague others with shenanigans from the people lurking in my brain's gyri. Greetings!
