Sun Sprain Guest Artist - Frances Tsounis (Vemrill)
One scene in Sun Sprain follows Beat over a few years of being alone, and to help give some exposition I decided to share a few journal entries they would've made over the months of vagabonding around the pacific northwest. I've always been all for doing my comics 100% on my own, but I thoug...
🐕Nintendogs Zine Early Read
Pointy ear edition cuz floppy edition had a couple weird scans <3Pointy ear edition was made on a copy of the original earless version, which ended up becoming floppy ear edition. The colors on this version are slightly off from the original markers I used.Whole thing drafted, inked, and finalized i...
🐕 Zine in the works
I got accepted into the ANW artist's alley in January, so I'm working on stuff for my table, including a zine called "I'm your Nintendog and I'm still okay". A little nostalgic romp 💕 I have a guest artist for Sun Sprain working on a couple asides for the next set of pages...
🌦️👟🌤️Sun Sprain Release Promo
December 21st!!!!! Thank you all for your support. I haven't made a comic in over 2 years so the fact a few of you have been so trusting and generous and faithful in me has seriously done so much. I appreciate you all immensely. Whether you're around for years more or just a little longer, I...
Promo wip 🌞
Going to write the end of chapter 1 tonight and come up with a release date. I'll reveal it this weekend. Probably releasing chapter 1 sometime in December to play it safe. I'm really nervous about this but I think it's time to announce @_@ wish me luck!
Opening scene for Sun Sprain is finished!
Milestone reached tonight! Hooray!!!! 25 pages make up the first scene in the book, and all have been finished, reviewed, and given their finishing touches. I wasn't even fully sure I'd get this far, but I'm so happy to be here. These next few scenes will (hopefully) take a much faster t...
Page 1, Cameo...
Page 1 of Sun Sprain is an interior shot of a college house party, so I figured I'd add some loose reference to a few familiar faces from another comic concept of mine... DeAndre, Benji, and Kath from Thrift Island :^} I try to avoid easter eggs in my comics but I couldn't pass up the opport...
Complex page layout progress
This page was made in several sessions over about a month. I just finished it up now so I might end up tweaking a few things later (always save your layer files!) if I'm unhappy with them, but overall I'm calling it done!! I was having trouble getting Beat and Brad downstairs without a lot o...
Page wip - The Cooler
I'm enjoying this page and I have a feeling some of the detail is gonna get blupped out when I start adding the lighting/shading, so I figured I'd share a little lights-on peek with you! Those layers... do I know what's going on? Barely
Late nite workin + TH upload tomorrow
Pushing through it! Page 18 and 19 (adding an intro page to clarify/establish setting). Sometime tomorrow I'll do another Toyhouse upload, so look forward to that! I've also been putting together playlists for both Beat and Brad that I think I'll add to their profiles in case you want so...

☀️Cut page sketches
Evening :^] Full-steam-aheading this scene right now, if I'm unhappy with how something's going I just toss it and try again. Here's some sketches / lineart from a few pages that I've scrapped for tweaked versions.
Sun Sprain release concept / wip page
Hey there! I'm working on this page at the moment and want to talk a bit about some ideas for how I'll be releasing this story.If I'm being realistic, I can't finish this comic in the way I want and still have it out before 2023. I think instead it might be easier on me (and maybe mo...
☀️Sun Sprain Minicomic - The Cockerel
Just somethin small :^] <3 I had an idea that while Beat was vagabondin' around, he stayed in one town a lot longer than he typically would... maybe it was the scenery that appealed to him, or maybe it was the hottie boy java stop that would offer him food n water. We'll never know for sure....
☀️Page wippage
Chugging through this beginning scene. Mixing up some media with this one, going full-digital for a couple of pages until these two come out into the sunshine. Using the shaded scenery as an excuse to make doing lines a little easier x_xI'm working on a release date for this, not sure what it is...
Toyhouse upload on Monday

Page Wip :^}
Wanted to share this behemoth in progress x_x still coloring, then coloring the lines, adding text, fine-tuning a few things, and adding another panel above the first in that empty gap.You a fan of these progression shots? I'd love to share them a little more often if they pique your interest!

☀️The first pages
Not of Sun Sprain, but the first two in Sun Sprain that I've finished! I'm happy with the technique of digital to traditional to digital, but I can see other pages being done in other ways. Time will tell where the extent of mixed media goes in this book.I won't be spoiling too many page...
☀🏃 Illustration process
So it begins! Starting with a scene just after the very first few pages (still figuring out the dialogue, which really bases the pictures in a scene for me). I'm trying a different strategy of illustration for Sun Sprain - while with other books I've done full digital, full traditional, or t...
