If you’re interested in this graphic novel, back while it’s still live! Kickstarter ends next week!

We’re 1 week away from Beyond the Road’s Kickstarter launch! I’m excited, scared… and really hope I know what I’m doing!

Running a Kickstarter is a lot of new-ness. And it’s been a long creative journey to get to this point!

A "turning point" in my graphic novel, Beyond the Road.

Shortly after a flare-up, I attempted to hike the windy hills of Fort Ord in California. I was in survival mode, focusing on my feet when, due to Titan's chaos, I stopped to look up and only then saw the gorgeous landscape around me.

Hi #portfolioday! I’m Theresa, illustrator & graphic novelist.

I draw character-driven stories mixing linework + painterly light. My work explores quiet emotion + personal moments with a lean towards fantasy. 😁

Just wrapped Beyond the Road - now on Kickstarter! Open for inquiry.

Needed a break from all this Kickstarter prep for Beyond the Road… Meet one of my OCs. Serra - a half-elf dragonic bloodline sorceress whose details I can’t currently pull from my tired brain. A traveler with a highborn past. Originally made for BG3. Hoping to player her in a D&D game one day.

A few sneak peaks from the 1st pages of the graphic novel. There's also a link to download the 1st chapter for free in the Kickstarter page!

I bought myself a manga inking kit (dip pen & nibs with test illustration cards) and decided to play a bit. It’s a lot easier to use than I remember! Or else muscle memory kicked in. 😄 I will note the included (deleter?) paper makes a huge difference. Less snagging and stray fibers in the pen…!

Here’s to 2025! I like seeing these collages from the art accounts I follow, so wanted to create one too. I was primarily working on Beyond the Road last year, but did do a couple of character illustrations (mostly for D&D 😍).

Parents are in town for Christmas and with mom comes mom food. I am spoiled. This is just day 1! 😋

Cafe sketching on a rainy day.
I forgot my white pen, but found an old speck of titanium white gouache on my palette so rewetted and used that instead. 😅

Unicycle riding party of chaos goblins traversing a jungle in Imarian - live D&D show at Fan Expo SF today. The improv singing is amazing 😂 !

How do you procrastinate?

Me? I decided to try baking an “apple rose tart”. A gluten free, dairy free (and hey! I think this ended up vegan too!) apple rose tart.

Into the oven it goes. Pls come out okay…. 🙏

D&D night and my brain is distracted….

About to play my first @startplaying.bsky.social 1-shot today - took the time to draw portraits for my (tiefling rogue) and @ancientbuho.bsky.social's (halfling wizard) characters before the game! Hoping this one goes well! 🤞 #dnd #dndart #ocart #dndoc #ocsky #skyart

TIL resizing & compressing in certain applications can blend out a lot of details. Case in point - My D&D character’s portrait, before photo adjustments and after.

Haven’t really been on BSky in awhile because of my little drawing hermit mode. But look at that scrollbar! I am sooo close! Hope you will like what I’ve been working on..!

Excited to be tabling in my first out of state convention in Reno. Come find me! I’ll be selling products from Adventures with Titan, Beyond the Road, and 12 Lunar Year Zodiacs along with additional prints. Come find me at Silver Age Comic Con - July 12-13!

👀One of my favorite moments in the game was finding the rando bard in Verdant Brink (GW2: HoT). Omg but if I could play as one…??? ❤️

This makes me sooo happy…! Korean gluten free pastries - Everything is made with this fluffy rice flour and makgeoli base. There are several dairy free options too, like this red bean one (though I think that’s a milk chocolate drizzle so… don’t eat that part). But srsly… a bakery I can eat at??? 😍

It’s awesome when you find artwork of ppl you know IRL…! At Moment in San Jose JTown.
