Every time we talk about comics industry treatment of freelancers, somebody among our ranks inevitably burrows out of the woodwork like, “Actually this is just how it is, don’t you know,” and I 🙄. Look. I can clearly observe that this is how it is. I still insist that things should be better.

Did the thing where I saw an obvious error after posting (thumb intersecting his collarbone foliage in an awkward way)
Fixed in the sketchblog post for this - also an uncropped version there (3/4 body); this is another anatomy construction practice from imagination

Trahearne Wintersday Sketch | December 9, 2025
Spurred from a conversation with Jasmine on bluesky yesterday where she said, “trahearne is back and he’s santa– 🧑🎄” – which gave me a variety of amusing mental images I immediately wished to draw.

I don't think anything else is coming in for the rest of the year, so it's time for my yearly work recap!
📖 4 light novels
🗯️ 1 manga
🎮 1 video game
🆒 1 misc
It's been an interesting year! Too much to say to fit into 100 characters, but it's been mostly good and interesting (but no bad).

My gacha luck has been pretty miserable this anniversary but then a Mithra 6th anni SSR finally came to me which is my first of both!! I think he was the last I didn't have an SSR of (I still don't have any 5th anni cards)

I don't know which of my kouhais need to hear this, but because I'm seeing this in a ton of commercial J>E game locs: you really shouldn't retain quotation marks in the same places as the Japanese source text 9 times of 10, especially outside dialogue. Punctuation parity in general is often sloppy.
