Bad Kitty Percy
I've been TRYING to get into the habit of doodling at the end of a workday, granted I have enough time for it??? Let's see if I can keep it up!I've been toying around with the idea of just pairing up Dragon Leeds (from the new years art - basically just Regular Leeds with horns and scale...
Kitty Percy
I wanted to draw something as fast and loose as possible after work and peeked at this year's April Fools drawing again (added to the lineup if you missed it!) I think Percy makes a really cute calico cat!!!Ok I have to go to a picnic!! Have a great weekend!!! π

The Empty God
Occasionally I like to take breaks and mess around with drawing Walking Gods characters! Thinking about them is like a personal hobby of mine. I poked at this over a few days after thinking about WORLDBUILDING too hard.This is a bit of a thought experiment, but it's more or less Dhio! Mostly! Yo...

BARBAROUS Chapter 9 is under way!!!!
Ananth and I are both working on thumbnailing chapter 9 RIGHT NOW!!! This part has been becoming more and more fun as we pass files back and forth and mess with each other's layouts like dolls in a dollhouse. Ananth hasn't really drawn a whole lot since he was a kid but he DOES have a really...
The winner of the outfit poll is...
CALBRAITH! By 2% over Winter!!! Thank you so much to the 108 people who voted! It felt fitting to draw Alexander in Alexander McQueen! I hope Winter gets her time in the sun, but I was really happy that those two were the top contenders. I'll try to pick more unusual menswear in the future for t...

Chapter 8 / Page 23 breakdowns
Yay, this was such a fun straight-forward shoujo page! Lots of tall panels with an emphasis on expression and nice amounts of negative space for introspective dialogue. No backgrounds, just bokeh (supplied by Hyewon).It was really fun to do Percy's slow descent into "maybe I AM evil?" Wh...
Happy (belated) Year of the Dragon!
Why did it take so long for me to finish this illustration, it's already March?To my credit, dragons should be celebrated every day.Thank you again to the folks who came and hung out while I inked this! I'm kind of relieved I didn't do any coloring on stream because for some reason I did...

HAPPY VALENTINES 2024!
Hi everyone, Happy Valentines Day from BARBAROUS!!! ππβ¨I had to put a hold on both doing the Year of the Dragon AND the livestream just because of the structure of the week so far - unfortunately having two people working full-time in one room means I can't do any sort of livestreaming w...
HAPPY YEAR OF THE DRAGON!!

Percy & Leeds outfit turnaround
This is for a little side-project but I thought the lineart was cute enough that I should give it a color! I'm usually not a fan of greens but I think the lime green top really compliments the purple-representing-brown I like to use for Percy's hair. HMM...Anyway i love making paper dolls wh...

OH NO I'm back posting these now that it's the new year!!! Hello!!!The Wavemother Robe wound up being my favorite piece of armor in Baldur's Gate lol. Not because it's especially useful in a fight, but because it's a slinky evening dress that does tick healing when a character st...
