This gorgeous green dragon I painted with a broken finger.

i just found your art and it's so incredible it scratches my brain in the best way i love it O_O the textures, the colors, the movement, the character design, all of it is so so so good !!!!

I really appreciate messages like this. I'm usually off in my own little world, so it's nice to hear my hard work is paying off. Thank you so much!

Life Update:

I just want to put it out there that I've been really humbled by the folks who have stopped by in my little sliver of the internet and left kind words and encouragement. I have not really been drawing much at all for months now. So all that kindness has been especially precious to me. I want to say thank you. I have challenges in the way of me making art. I still have some emotional weight of major burnout, which I think is recovering very well, but I am still not what I once was. I started a new career a year ago. That career has been very demanding. That career demands a lot of material prep and time. As time marches on that demand for prep and time will lessen…

But for the present future, that career change is still going to demand a lot of my resources. Sometimes I find out I only have free time at the last hour of the day. Other times I'm too tired to apply myself to making something.

I think I say this because my goal is, and has been, to make a comic happen. But I don't think my work/life balance is in a good place for that right now. Even if I can't manage comics right now, I do want to make the time to paint and apply my creativity in other artistic endeavors.

So what time I can find, I must selfishly give to whatever is going to make me feel happy.

I should probably be less perfectionist. I still sketch, but sometimes they are so rough and incomplete because I had so little time to make it happen. Maybe I'm afraid if I show people all the messy stuff they'll leave.

But you guys, it makes me so happy when I see people like, follow, or leave a comment. And I look at the stuff on their account and I'm like, ah ha!

There's the person who likes gothic stuff, there's the wolf folks, that one person who's posted nothing but werewolves, the vampire obsessed, the fantasy lovers, and someone who really loves dragons. ALL the LGBTQ folks who see my trans, nonbinary OCs and are like, yeah I gotta keep tabs on that.

You are all so cool and lovely and I hope I can have the time and energy to share all my wonderful visions in my head with you. Truly, from my heart, you are the people I believe in the most.

Keep being so so awesome.

Artist Portrait. Playing around with a kind of werewolfsona look!

She had an evil shadow twin!!!

I'm still feeling down and saw a screenshot of my old middle/high school OC in my desktop files. So I was like, why not. Let's see the glow up!

Her species is a wolfling. Physical proof I was both a wolf kid and dragon kid growing up. Drake Lore: Besides having magic dragon armor that gives her cool dragon powers. Her "sword" is a talking dragon head named Tiamat that opens its mouth to create a flame blade.

Is the comic posted somewhere or will it be posted later? Scrolling through the tag and am very curious! :) sorry if this was said somewhere, I did not see

Oh that's... in progress. I have not actually talked about Halfmoon as a comic in a long while. I have been very *very* busy working on school and accreditation for a job. It had been taking up all my time, but now that's over and I have free time again! WOAH. The first chapter of this has been sitting on my desk waiting for inks. I'm planning to start streaming those as soon as they're ready. As for when it'll be publicly posted... I'm not sure. I'd like to have a second chapter completed so that people can read chapter 1, and then chapter 2 can start running on weekly updates. I am just getting my bearings after a long time off my game. (Maybe people noticed with me posting about once a month, sometimes not even that. haha) All I can say is that I look forward to this story, I'm nervous about this story, and oh my god do I want to see this story happen.

I used to have a good habit of making yearly reflections, but I haven't been on top of that for awhile. I've been focusing so much on what I haven't done, but I looked back and now I see I've really accomplished a lot! I've fostered the skills I have to make the kind of drawings I've dreamed of, and I will continue to study and improve to get even better and better! I really love seeing the shift of style and color that's happened in the past few years. <3

🎵You've gotta burn somebody to learn somebody Everybody's got a Jekyll and Hyde You gotta curse somebody to hurt somebody Everybody needs a reason to die 🎶 -I just let music run in the background a lot, and this one just hit real good while working on this piece. XD It wasn't supposed to be this aggressive looking, oops.

The BOYS!!! (Yes, this was drawn entirely for the purpose of this fantastic shirt. Which is a real shirt that exists.)

Winged Death. I liked the over the top pose of this one and decided to ink and color it. It's been awhile since I've drawn Ris' bird monster form.

Say Hello. I think I'll be calling her Crescendo from now on.

I hope you're hungry for werewolf in distress because that's what I'm serving up tonight.
