It’s a constant loop of learning and forgetting things for me, but I love it so I don’t mind.

Anyway, clothes continue to be a challenge but I’m determined to crack that nut before the year fizzles out.

No reference figure sketches.

It’s been a very long road, but I kinda feel like I’m starting to visually understand anatomy/bodies a little more than just haphazardly making marks and crossing my fingers.

I still need to work on the details and my limbs and hips always feel off to me.

Anyway, I’ll share more about this project throughout the coming weeks. Just felt it important to at least attempt to drum up a little buzz.

If you made this far, thank you!

All this is dependent on work and whether I can continue to pay the bills via freelancing. Things continue to be a bit dry in terms of commissions, but hopefully this comic of mine might convince you to throw some change my way, and if not no worries as I’ll likely post the odd page on here in time.

That’s right, November’s issue. I’ve decided to commit to one issue per month for the rest of the year. It’s going to involve a lot of playing around with styles, concepts and themes until I find my voice, but hopefully by bulldozing my way through a few issues I find some gold along the way.

After some deliberation, I’ve decided to stick with digital over traditional to save time and make things flexible for myself. That is to say this project has very little rules, and I’m open to adding some proper inky things down the line/in November’s issue.

The leafs are turning red. A chill creeps in with darkness. Inspiration returns to folklore and fables, ghosts, ghouls and the warmth of familiar nightmares creatures.

Drafts for my anthology comic SCRAMBLED EGGS are finished. Tomorrow’s job - the cover and any extras.

I’ve 30 pages spread over 6 stories. All deliciously dark, saucy and silly.

I’ve plenty more short tales in mind, so maybe I’ll draft them up too and get started on the second issue early.
