The cover of Honor Bound, a dark fantasy romance comic, where the gender-neutral squire Zheng lies under a massive tree surrounded by mushrooms and ravens. This comic is inspired by works like Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and Dungeons and Dragons A page from Honor Bound, where Zheng remembers their love Rayner before passing out due to exhaustion. A solitary raven looks on. Zheng waves goodbye to Rayner, as the squire heads off to battle, promising to return to their love and their home together. Zheng hugs Rayner from behind. This is my first full on romance comic, these aren't my first queer characters, but I love these two so much. I hope you'll enjoy reading the comic as much as I did making it.

I drew a fan art for @joshnickerson83.bsky.social who just completed his romantic comedy comic, Melancholy, after 10 years! You can read it on Tapas here: tapas.io/series/melan...

The blond main character of Josh Nickerson's romantic comedy comic, Melancholy. It's a great story about a hopeless romantic trying to find love in odd places.

I painted this portrait of Charles Dance as Tywin Lannister as a demo for a digital painting project this month. These always come out more realistic than I intend

A digital portrait of Tywin Lannister played by the amazing Charles Dance. I loved his performance, although I didn’t really enjoy the show, I think it was excessively cruel in ways that other adaptations of George R R Martin’s works are not. Im very excited for Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, those books were amazing.

I'm going to share this saga here so I have a place to put it:

On Tuesday, I go to a Take-5 oil to get my Kia Soul's oil changed. The person looks at my oil cap and delivers terrible news:

"Your car has a busted head gasket, and there's coolant in your oil."

That's not good, worry begins (1/X)

Day 18: I was at a school event where everyone was drawing their “sona.” I don’t draw myself except as weird beasts and the first thought I had was Godzilla with G-pen nibs for fins so I had to draw it

Day 15 cuz I’m out of order: a cleric character design. I found this chill D&D channel where this older gamer plays solo ttrpg adventures using the rulesets he used back in the 70s and I’ve enjoyed what I’ve watched so far.

A cleric clad in chainmail looks off in the distance as she rests her hand on her flame headed mace. This is based on one of the characters of Brian’s “Holmes Ruleset” Dungeons and Dragons videos

Keith & I always tried to approach the covers as a story in 1 page, where each one asks you "how do you think this got to this point?"

If you dig indie comics, be sure to check out Keith's Kickstarter!

Jorge has done the covers for The Usual Choices since I started printing floppy mini-collections of them to take to cons, and he's always knocked it out of the park. But this might be the best yet, and I'm so stoked to see it on the front of this book!
