Had to! #STONEHEART ship from fictional Tv show #Demonheart from @britta_lundin 's SHIP IT. No idea if I got the characters right, dont quote me on their appearances. My favorite character is def. Rico. Cute book, a few wtf moments, but fun! #ya #fanart #shipit #kidlit #bl #slash

I keep trying to change my art to be less dependent on line work, but my brain won't cooperate! This warmup went beyond its allotted time, haha! It's a design for Odile Von Rothbart from my Last Wild Swan story. Definitely looking at Howl's Moving Castle for this. Oh no, I wanna watch Howl again! #odile #odilevonrothbart #swanlake #raptor #sorceress #clipstudiopaint #huion

Tine for coloring flats! This is the stage where I lay flat colors and decide what colors form the base of the comic! #kidlit #graphicnovel #comics #clipstudiopaint #clipstudio #coloringcomics

I just remembered! I really still want to make short stories about my gay superhero sidekick son, Kid Kupid, who's hopelessly in (unrequited) love with his mentor. I'm not so good at coming up with short stories, though. Not yet, anyway! #queerwebcomic #lgbt #boyslove #bl #superheroes #romancecomics #romance #sidekick

Dug up a page from an unfinished Kid Kupid story! I really want to continue it with a writer. It's the story of a teen gay sidekick in unrequited love with his mentor. #superhero #sidekick #gay #queercomic #bl #lgbt #boyslove

Been watching Call My Agent on Netflix. Fun show. #dixpourcent #callmyagent #Netflix ugh today is so blahhhhhhh. I need a change of environment.

Erin Song from Unplugged and Unpopular coming from @onipress this October 2019, written by @mat.heagerty colored by @itsmikesartstuff edited by Robin Herrera and lettered by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. Promo art: colors versus rough sketch! #ONIpress #unpluggedandunpopular #kidlit #graphicnovel #middlegrade #middlegradebooks

New graphic novel from @differenceenginesg and @reimenayee coming out next year (I think). Having a blast with these kids learning to blend art skills with STEM! #KIDLIT #graphicnovel #STEM #middlegrade

What's this? A new graphic novel script in the making! Finally starting again, with the process I learned writing Unicorn Sword. Visual scripting with a fountain pen. Erasures are impossible, so you're forced to just go with the flow! #graphicnovel #script #visualscript

Quickie sketch. Ren from #piratesofdarkwater #FirstCartoonCrush

Its Friday again? I'm fine, I'm dead. Ugh. Warmup.

#johnwick #keanureeves #allthisoverapuppy #babayaga Ok no spoilers but I enjoyed John Wick Chapter 2 MUCH MORE than what I saw yesterday. ~_~ warmup sketch!

Finished manuscript revisions. Time to let these idiots fly.

Idunno..another character design I guess.

Unplugged and Unpopular Coming October 2019!
