Something on the horizon...
Did an updated design/redraw of one of my much older (cherubim) angel characters, Nicolas. It's been a while since I last drew him. It feels a little surreal seeing him in my current style.

Experimented with actually "painting" Pravus. I've been struggling with some of the undertones in his skin in my normal comic style to follow the logic of the color of his blood is under the surface, so I tried working in a different style and technique to see what I learn out of it.

One of my older original characters I've had for quite a long time, Cimon (Cimone? I might add an e, it always felt like it read odd).
She was long overdue for a refresh on her design. She hunts gods. I've missed her 🥺

Having ship art ideas of my OCs but not necessarily being able to draw/share them publically because none of it has happened canonically in the comic yet is a prison of my own making

I finished the animatic I made for my demon cowboy Sebastian!
The man hurts me a lot. He makes me laugh, but he hurts me more. He mourns the life he had with his family before he died so much.

(1 of 2) Sebastian & Pravus have been with me for a very long time, so I try to be kind to myself about this. It was the best I could do at the time.
