Happy #porfolioday ! I'm Sam, a queer Philly based cartoonist making comics and character design/visual development with a focus on sci-fi and environmentalism. I love drawing girls, robots and messy, detailed worlds.

I'm especially looking to line up some short comics!

I was looking forward to drawing after work but I am fighting sleep instead.

We’ll see what I can work on before I turn in early. Tomorrow is another day.

Having a lil lie down to post and share other folks posts.

Do I wish I participated because I am also looking for work?

No…I’m glad to sit this one out, there will be more. And honestly it’s been causing me social media burnout.

A digital illustration of a fairy smelling a flower. The fairy has tan skin and a periwinkle afro. Her dress is made of purple petals and her corset, headband, and foot wraps are made of blades of grass. She has burgundy wings and a lady bug crawls on a leaf near her.

An illustration of a dark skinned elven woman standing in front of the sun. Her body is chubby and wears a two piece outfit which shows off her stomach. Gold Body chains hang from her top and around her stomach, as well as chains that handg from her shoulders. She wears gold necklaces, beads in her hair, piercings and gold cuffs on her bicep and wrists. A sun like gold structure also sits around her waist where her skirt falls from. Her ginger hair is big and provides a halo around her while she also wears a gold crown with a sun on it. The borders of the illustration are like a tarot card and has the image of a hummingbird, flowers and the sun.

Two friends playing together in a greenhouse. Damaia, a red skinned teifling, is sitting on a piano while she plays a wood lyre. She has purple locs in pigtails and has on a leather jacket and leather boots with spikes along her tail. Aranea, a tan skinned elf, is playing the piano while looking up at her friend. She wears a fancy purple dress with grey and black stripes. The greenhouse sounding them is a bit somber with plants in the background and some flowers. Damaia is a bard I've played in a one shot and Aranea is my friend's sorcerer.

A digital illustration of a human looking monster lady. She has brown skin and golden eyes with slits in them. Her jaw has a wide mouth with sharp teeth going from either side. Her neck is long enough to fit 4 thick golden chokers and her long black hair has golden eyes hidden within them like waves. Her waist is abnormally small and hands reach up from behind her, as if coming from a form of darkness below.
