October 9th to October 22nd
Hey hi folks! For the past couple weeks, once I was done with all my recent travels, I've been exhausted and not very productive. It's been a pretty big bummer for me. Thankfully, I've still managed to produce a bunch of stuff: Inktober has kept me busy, I did an art stream where I pract...
Squidling
I drew a kid! (Not a squid.) Based on a friend of mine, this pic is also an experiment where I tried to bridge the gap between sketching and final line art. If I can do something that works reasonably well without doubling my time by redrawing every line super cleanly, I hope I can achieve a speed I...
Inktober: Witch Weeks 2 & 3
Hey hi folks! Sorry for the sparse updates recently, I've been incredibly exhausted lately and it's taking me so much energy just to draw a pic a day. I've been getting progressively better, though, so I hope to get back into the swing of things soon. Here's 14 more witches from@ochi...
Art Stream!
Hey hi folks! Here's my latest art stream video, where I draw faces of folks! It still boggles my mind how it's possible to draw someone recognizably with a few lines.Files have been added to their respective folders. As always, thank you so much for your support!❤#7: https://www.youtube.c...
September 25th to October 8th

GaymerX4 Panel: Overcoming Personal Inertia
Hey hi folks! Last weekend I went to GaymerX4, where I was fortunate enough to speak on a panel! Ayla, Mint and I put together a presentation on how to overcome personal inertia; basically, tips and techniques to help us do that thing we've always wanted to do. It got a lot of positive feedback ...
Inktober: First Witch Week
Hey hi folks! October is upon us and I'm doing Inktober again, because it's been so long since I've drawn with a pen. It's really interesting to see just how different I draw on paper compared to when I use a tablet, so I'm progressively trying to experiment with this medium to s...
Final Week of Mousemaid
Hey hi folks! Here are the remaining 6 daily pics of Mousemaid, bringing the total to 20 consecutive takes on the same character. It's amazing how far this has taken me both artistically and creatively - I'm so in love with the character now that I have to do something more with her. I'm...

September 11th to September 24th
Hey hi folks! Time flies when you're recovering from a convention!The past two weeks have been incredible for me, art-wise. I've been drawing daily thanks to a personal challenge (the mouse maid series) and the progress I've made has been so motivating. I also completed my Jedi Academy D...
Two weeks of mouse maids
Hey hi folks! I'm going to be speaking at GaymerX this coming Friday, on a panel about overcoming personal inertia; essentially, techniques to help with starting and finishing projects that seem daunting or impossible. As a lead-up to that, I gave myself a challenge: take a pic I drew but wasn&#...
Buttons in the Works!
Hey hi folks! I'm currently working on two different buttons that I want to make soon; one is based on my anxiety comic (on the left) and the other, on a character I've been drawing daily as a challenge to myself - more on that later! These are still concepts for now, but I'm hoping to m...
Design Delve: Star Wars Jedi Academy
Hey hi folks! Yesterday I wrapped up my latest Design Delve series, where I play through a game and discuss its design. The game this time was Star Wars - Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, my favorite of the Jedi Knight games! It's not a perfect game, but I think it's the best of that particular fr...
Demonic Road Trip
Hey hi folks! Here's my latest pic, showing Blue driving a 4x4 that just happens to be possessed by a demon. This took way too long for me to draw. >_< Still, for a 4-hour endeavor, I did learn a lot of tricks I can use again for other pieces, and that's very motivating. Also, some of the ef...
August 28th to September 10th
Hey hi folks! What an exhausting two weeks it's been!I finally managed to complete the last of the League of Heels comics, I made an actual physical comic book out of them, I made the PAX Rumble IV poster, went to PAX West to do some meeting & greeting & merching, and came home the most exhauste...

On Merch and My First Comic Book
A few weeks ago, when I visited Otakuthon (an anime convention) here in Montreal, I made myself a promise: next year, I would exhibit at a convention as an artist. I figured one year, give or take, would be enough time for me to improve my skills and have a body of work I can be proud of - and sell ...
PAX RUMBLE IV Poster
This is the official poster of the fourth PAX Rumble, which I worked on over the course of two weeks, on and off. I was in a complete rush by the end, however, and finished the final pass in a single grueling day. I am against crunch in all its forms, and here I'm sad I had to resort to it. I...
PAXW Comic: Highlight Heel
Here it is, the bonus League of Heels comic! Please don't share this digitally, as it was meant to be a print exclusive for the comic book.Meant to be a callback to various key events of League of Heels history, this strip was also a good opportunity for me to try to represent crowds in differen...
PAXW Comic: A Bit of Friendly Ribbing
Hey hi folks, I'm back from PAX! Time for a lot of content! :D First, here's the final public comic for the League of Heels pre-panel ramp-up. Buildings are hard to draw and I need to practice them a lot. >_<This comic, along with the previous four, were compiled into a printed comic book - ...
August 14th to August 27th
Hey hi folks! What a long, strange two weeks it's been!We made a button, I went to New York, and I've been submerged in comic art oh my gosh I can't wait to be done. Soon!Later this week is PAX West - expect a fun report on what happened at the League of Heels wrestling panel, where I wi...
PAXW Comic: Who Wears the Belt
Hi again! Here's the other comic I completed, this time right after coming back from New York. I'll post an update on what I did over there soon, because it left quite a mark on me. But now, here's the most visually complex of the comics yet! I'm not quite satisfied with the liquid m...
PAXW Comic: Who Haunts the Wolf
Hey hi folks! I finished the third PAX Rumble comic in a great big hurry before my New York trip and haven't taken the time to upload it (or the next one), so here it is! I see now a few little mistakes I'd like to correct, and while I can't edit the version that's on Twitter, I can ...
COUNTER/Weight Button: Physical Edition
Hey hi! The Friends at the Table button I drew and designed finally arrived in the mail! I picked the right size to get legible text, and I've learned a lot - there's not a lot of leeway with dark colors, so I should concentrate on lighter tones in designs. I'm also excited to make small...
COUNTER/Weight Button
Hey hi folks! During my last art stream, I began cleaning up a design for a button depicting AuDy from Friends at the Table's wonderful series COUNTER/Weight. Here's the finished version! I stayed up entirely too late last night finishing it in a rare burst of inspiration. I just ordered a t...

PAXW Comic: The Troubled Past of Tracksuit
Hey hi folks! Here's the second PAX Rumble comic in high resolution! Once again, I'm releasing these on Twitter under the hashtag #PAXRumble. As I make these, I think I'm getting better at making these comic characters actually look like the people they're based on, and that's re...
Art Stream Tomorrow!
Hey hi folks! To mix things up, I'll be having my art stream Saturday instead of Sunday! I've got a lot of work on my plate right now, so I'm moving things around to make sure I'm as efficient as possible. It'll start at 1 PM EDT and should stream for about two hours; I'll be...
