Pasg Hapus! To celebrate, I have made eggs.

Haha they're actually board game tokens for Fox and Geese! Playing with a friend later today.

I mean, with publishing you have a set of people who have already validated that your book is marketable (read: people will like it). Publishing online is a freefall. Will people like it? Will anyone say anything literally ever or will I just be feeding the void??

So it's understandable.

Nice bravery 😎

I definitely have the same 'themes!"

Character sketches of Queen Helene and the Prince Consort from my graphic novel Janus in Tartarus

Finally have a lil moment to work on character sheets! Important to note that these aren't design sheets. These just remind me of what I've already designed and used in the comic 😅

Kudos to you for having a discernable style in high school! I'm sure younger you would be excited about what you're doing now

Quilting (poorly with one hand for the camera) for National Quilting Day!

Drawing of a ramp that should be stairs

Everything within me is avoiding drawing these stairs again.

Watching through Kurukshetra: The Great War of Mahabharata, having to explain to my family every other episode that Krishna isn't evil, he just makes sneaky faces sometimes.

Betraying Pi Day in classic Ides of March fashion this year.

Me: I'd love to letter and print out this comic scene's pencils.

Computer: You know what I'D like you to do..?

3 hours later I've fixed a macron problem that does not affect the penciling of these pages in any way, shape, form or fashion. Hurray for progress.
