Hey doods! Sending the word out that I'm a comic writer and artist available for commission or hire via Etsy, Ko-Fi or my own website.

rosshopkins.co.uk

I do pages! Prints! Character portraits! Infographics! Writing! Proofreading! Whatever creative services you need, I'm happy to supply.
My business card, featuring characters from my various stories and the styles they're drawn in from the moody to the colourful, still sticking close to a Quentin-Blake-meets-Tank-Girl aesthetic. From left to right: Varvi Dusek, Czech-Jewish modernist painter from 1930s Prague who's also a sleuth. Kyte, Prince Nadeen and Amrita, reincarnations of Hindu gods thwarting the machinations of the East India Company. Nancy Brilligan and Simar Qareen, fearless defenders of relativity against the malign forces of randomness plaguing modern London. Nada, a work-for-hire adventurer in a meta-fantasy world with her pixie minder, Seon. And last but not least my darling niece Rosie in a whimsical fantasy of her own holding aloft Twig, a loveable mascot character. Front cover of Monty Oaks Detective Squad Issue One, featuring young versions of the tiny detective trio investigating a tomb and their older selves bickering with each other. The Ditz, The Cool and The Brains are the little tykes in the front row. The Failure, The Bully and The Princess are their hormonal teenage versions in the back row. The main characters of "String", an urban fantasy web comic. Nancy Brilligan, Fearless Defender of Relativity against The Malign Forces of Randomness, monitoring London for quantum threats with her trusty instrument, her cricket bat, and the talents of Simar Qareen, her kid sidekick/kidnap viction blessed (or cursed) with strange violin powers. My FFXIV OCs, Rain Draconis and No'zaya Storm, joining in the main cast of Stormblood in a stirring rendition of The Measure of His Reach. Rain is getting really into the part.

In honour of Melania, here's a reminder that the thing Kane is applauding in this popular gif isn't good. It's very bad! It's his wife singing poorly in an opera he paid for.
a man in a tuxedo and bow tie is standing in front of a crowd .
Alt: Orson Welles as Kane in evening dress, applauding too hard to hide his humiliation.

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.
“Screenshot of a promoted Reddit post by u/AYAGDOS. The post reads: ‘Navigating gender dysphoria? Join our confidential, cross-country study of 18–25 year olds to tell your story, challenge preconceptions, and have YOUR experience reflected in the science.’ Below is a banner graphic with the Northwestern University logo and the text ‘TRANS OR GENDERQUEER? SHARE YOUR STORY.’ The image shows a close-up of a hand with light pink nail polish, partially painted blue, held up against a blurred background. A link to ayagdos.org and a ‘Learn More’ button appear at the bottom, along with Reddit vote and share icons.”

Sharing a cab with a couple of fellow publishing folk on the way to Cambridge North station, one of whom is a DC journalist, and inevitably the conversation got railroaded into America Shit. Or, as one of the participants phrased it, 'how did polarisation get so bad over there.'

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups.

Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight.

As I was applying to this year's Thought Bubble I realised I never properly thanked @cuterefaction.bsky.social for popping round to the WIP Comics table last year and gifting this utterly adorable confidence hypospray from dear ol' Bones McCoy.
