Trying to draw different body types has been awkward lately - I'm way out of practice. Working on a buff, barrel-chested superhero and every few seconds I zoom out to see how everything's fitting together and I go, "No, no, bigger! Chest too small! Arms too small! BIGGER!"
Every few seconds... -_-

While I'm on the subject, Legends Z-A has got the most androgynous male PCs of the entire series, and that's saying something :p Not that I'm complaining - my character looks awesome and totally rocks a crop-top+cargo pants look. I'm kinda getting Gundam pilot vibes, the more I look at it.

The public ranked battles in Pokémon Legends Z-A are so ridiculously chaotic that you just can't take them seriously, but at least it's a hilarious experience with the right mindset. You don't need optimized teams to win, just good timing. Case in point, this wicked TKO I pulled off.

Pirates sail the high seas. Revolutionaries fan the flames of their causes through the streets. The world, once so close, now grows wide as new lands are conquered.
The Wideness of the World will release 13/12/2025 and is now available for pre-order.

Behold, the next anthology I'll be in!
My story is a thrilling pirate adventure titled, "Devil's Apprentice." A mouse girl fleeing domestic life finds opportunity after crossing paths with a notorious woman pirate. The secrets the mouse carries, however, make her a target in a hunt across the seas.

After some feedback I've added the story's text to the description so you won't have to resize the PDF on smaller screens. It's less than 1,500 words so there was plenty of room.

Oh, and this is a story I read as part of my first live-reading at Anthrocon this year.

In other news, I'm back on the anthology circuit! How fitting that a history buff like me will have a story featured in the next collection from the Furry Historical Fiction Society. Details coming soon, but here's a little slice of the cover....

I love being a creator.
I was recently inspired to try my hand at creating a brand new alien species, so naturally my predisposition for hyperfocus manifested and I wound up putting a very satisfying amount of pseudoscience into their biology to make them sound legit. I oughta do some sketches...

Last year, a viewer was under the assumption that I'd used genAI in one of my artworks. Given the clean shading and rather awkward layout of the architecture, one might assume that, but no, I do not use genAI or LLMs in my works. Truth is, I'm just very unpracticed with backgrounds. See alt-text!

A sketch of Sahara I did at Anthrocon. Can't decide if I'll finish it, but regardless it was fun trying some more dynamic poses and foreshortening practice.

I've finally started cataloguing my massive collection of furry books (artbooks, folios, novels, etc.). I'm not kidding, there's OVER TWO DECADES worth of stuff here.
You'd think it's because I'm a librarian, but it's mainly to know what I've already bought so I don't accidentally re-buy XD
