WIP—Magazine Cover #1
I've made a little project for myself to draw a magazine cover every month accompanied with lore <3 Naturally, Hugo is on the first issue. I think I'm going to name the "magazine" KISMET (you can look that word up if you don't know what it means)I've planned out the rest of t...
Hugo gets decked during a karmastry duel
Another little sketch from a moment in the book.
"Can you scream a little less loudly tonight?"
In the upcoming book, you'll learn why Hugo's nickname is "Squid" and that he has reoccurring nightmares that wake up his siblings on a regular basis. This is just a rough sketch of Hugo, Felix, and Gretchen I drew while writing.

From My Secret Sketchbooks: Delivery Boy Hugo
Before I say anything else on this, notice the date - 6/2020... that'll give you an idea of how long it's taken me to really develop all the background for the universe and the premise for the main book series.And you know what, all the time has been worth it.I know so much about the world n...

You might have seen "Chance" show up a few times in my art. He's an important character introduced in the upcoming book. Kazuo's best friend and Vice President of the Fortune Telling Club, he's got a thing for dice and cards... his particular form of karmastry is unique and based...

📚Chris's Note: The following is the first of several little snippets I'm going to share as I come to the end of the writing process of the next book (which should be complete within 60-days).I'm trying to be really careful as to not spoil anything for you!To avoid any confusion, while...
Marco & Hugo
Just a quick sketch I did today while writing.When Hugo creates one of those giant gears using karmastry, they're not heavy like metal, but they're very strong. They have to be used in a relatively short amount of time, or they vaporize.You can learn about each of the boy's particular fo...
Marco, Hugo, and Lucky
This is a tiny sketch from one of my development notebooks. I had to crop it because of all the spoiler information, but I thought it was a fun little sketch lol.
More unreleased art from my concept notebook
Not going to elaborate on this, but this is Kazuo.Some of my favorite creative time is when I'm working on the backstory within my sketchbooks. Working in monochrome markers is always fun, especially when I can just add a little color.
Secret Development Sketches
As I come to the last pages of the next book, I wanted to start sharing some behind the scenes development work. I've been working on this book for a while now and mapping out the next 6, so it's taken me ungodly amount of work and time to get things just right.I have SO much I want to share...

Home Stretch
It's been quite a year. As some of you know, I was dealing with some difficulties in my family life that threw my whole year off, especially the completion of the book which was supposed to be finished in August... coupled with some plot problems I needed to sort out, it was just a perfect storm...
Kingdom Hearts Halloween
Here's a sneak peak of the Halloween piece I'm working on for this year. This is Hugo and Marco dressed as Sora and Riku. Hugo has candy corn in his mouth and is saying something like "just kiss me already Riku! let me unlock your heart!" --- something dumb like that lol.I'll be ...

Learning to throw things away...
I've never released this publicly.Here's an old sketch I did (in PENCIL) from when I first was developing the Flux Destiny idea after the "Battlegate" pilot webcomic.The characters have changed and deepened so much that they're literally not the same: both physically, mentally, o...
Concept Art: Flux Destiny "Enlightenment Scale"
It's an understatement to say that karma plays a pivotal thematic role in Flux Destiny's story and in Flux's unique "karmastry" magic system.Here's a color board I put together as a guide for the color theory in the Flux Destiny universe. Karma has an effect on the physical e...
"I'll be right with you..."
Here's a preview of Kazuo concept art before I post it publicly tomorrow. I might tweak some things, we'll see.
Payback Early Concept Art
The concept of Payback is simple: mess too much with the way the universe works using karmastry, and it's going to slap you.But illustrating that was harder than I thought.So began my collaboration with SNAPS. I needed a fresh perspective and I always enjoyed his cryptid art concepts, and his st...
Early Hugo Concept Art
When I was first developing Flux Destiny through the Battlegate webcomic many years ago, I would create little concept pieces to figure out the style and demeanor of the characters.This is Hugo with an unnamed girl who I thought would be a young witch he met in that universe.Flux Destiny story/conce...

Marco☀️
It's Marco's time to shine.
A little backstory
I rarely share this kind of backstory as it's "spoiler-y," but it's a little insight into Marco and Hugo's friendship that I think is worth sharing for you guys as my biggest supporters.The next book will reveal the backstory of how they became best friends at a very difficult ti...

Late Night Bonus: Kazuo Sketch
Some of you might remember that I took this perfectly good Kazuo sketch and ruined it with copics a few months ago. I knew full well that the notebook the sketch was on wasn't designed to absorb markers but I went ahead and threw caution to the wind and literally ruined it.Luckily I got this pho...
