Finally colored these little authorsona assets, which I actually drew a few years ago. I use them for my webcomic, which has been on hiatus for a very long time but I'd like to post to again before the year is out!
5 drawn images of brown-gold bats wearing glasses. Top left is clasping hands with hearts over it. Bottom left is excited with wings spread. Middle is drawing with a tablet pen. Top right is explaining. Bottom right is collapsed, tired or exhausted.

Oh speaking of my irl activities, I'm teaching my first class this coming month!
A poster for my comics class at the Newark (Delaware) Arts Alliance. The image is black and white with yellow-orange borders. Halfway down and to the left there is an image of the artist pointing at a whiteboard, explaining comics. Below that is a QR code. To the right of that QR code is a cartoonified version of the artist, Knack Whittle, gesturing at the QR code. TEXT ON POSTER, divided by line breaks: "The Basics of Making Comics" Line break. "Theory and Practice" Line break. "Do you like comics? Would you like to make them? would you like to learn about what goes into making them? This class will teach you the basics of making comics, no matter what your skill level. This includes what goes into writing them, drawing them, and a little bit of the history of what works and why it does." Line break. "Newark Arts Alliance" line break "207 Louvier Dr, Newark DE" line break "April 22-25 at 3-6PM" Line break "Knack Whittle is a NYT Bestselling cartoonist. Whittle graduated SVA in 2021, and was taught by many artists and editors such as Klaus Janson, David Mazzucchelli, Alitha Martinez, and Carl Potts (among many more), and is very enthusiastic about passing on their teachings." Line break "nakatawhittle.weebly.com [arrow pointing left] see more of my work here!" The cartoon version of the artist at the bottom is also saying in speech bubbles: "Scan this QR code or visit the Newark Arts Alliance website to sign up!" and "Scholarships available!"

Recently I got my little lad a new bed so he can look out the window and also be right next to me, and instead of doing the cat thing where they refuse what youve bought he took to it RIGHT AWAY!!! It’s so nice being able to see him rather than him being under the desk 🥹

Green curtains are in the background. In the foreground is OPs work setup with a computer screen and display tablet, showing how easy it is to just look over at the cat. A black cat is lying down and looking at the camera, his green eyes semi-open. He is on an elevated light grey cat bed. The bed is large, and the bottom is cut off. Green curtains, and a curtain with a moth wing design are in the background. The same blue hydro flask is in the foreground.

More block printing is happening! I find it really good mentally to have an art form that engages with physical objects :]
Left: A block print of a bat holding a ring of keys. Right: the source “block” aka pink rubber carving block used to make the stamp, portraying the same.

Sliding in under the wire for #PortfolioDay!

I'm Knack and I'm a queer cartoonist residing in the DelMarPenn (US) area! I love character design and world building above all else, and I have a passion for history and dnd.

I'd love to work on your TTRPG assets!
