Episode 204 Panel Process
Hi Dragons,One of the more ludicrous panels I did for this episode. I don't usually attempt to do these types of horizontal panels because it involves having to rotate my entire canvas and YOUR PHONES while reading. I hope you've been enjoying the recent eps as we're building up to something pretty big in the series ^^~June
Actual Volume II Cover (Details Preview)^^
Hello Dragons! I cropped out a couple details out so that my paid members could see some of the actual cover that isn't blurred to hell. AHHH, Honestly my assistant "K' blew it out of the water again with this one so I wanted to show off the details at least! I hope you all really like the cover and enjoy this preview. I believe I'll finally be allowed to reveal the finished cover end of this month or sometime next month! More to come <3Love,~June
Volume 2 COVER REVEAL ｡ﾟ( ﾟஇ▽இﾟ)ﾟ｡ TEEHEE
Hi Dragons,I don't think I'm allowed to show the second cover yet, but I just can't contain my excitement. I'm sure most of you know that I'm working on volume 2 already (please pray for me) but here's a snippet.Excuse my trolling =＾● ⋏ ●＾= gomen~Juni :D
VOL 2. Cover Progress (SHHHHH SUPER SECRET)
Hey Dragons,I wanted to show all of you the progress that I've made on the cover for Vol 2. I hope you enjoy the line art and flats. I can't believe that Volume 1 is only a month away from coming out. Tell any friends you might know that would enjoy Sub Zero in a book format to Pre-Order athttps://linktr.ee/junepurrrThank you so much for bearing with me while I spam my socials with this. I've worked so hard on this book. As many of you know these volumes have consumed the little free time I had (╯•ᗣ•╰), but knowing that I ...
EP 203 Preview (lines + panels)
Hello all! Ihope you all enjoy this cute line art and rendered preview coming up in 203. I have been working hard on making sure our princess is depicted in all her glory. (✦ ‿ ✦)Even while underwater, holding her breath, and in distress Kharis always looks pretty! ^^ God I'm just so glad everyone loves her as much as I do. Also check out this sparkly bubble brush I found in the Clip asset store! (Aren't they pretty) :DNOTE: Special thanks to my new assistant @eggpuranto for the lovely coloring work on this! I can't wait for y...

Life Update (ALA + Hurricane Beryl :"D )
Hello dear Dragons,I'm coming here to let you guys know a little of what's been going on while I was away from updating these last few weeks. At the end of last month, Oni press sent me to ALA (American Librarian Association) in San Diego. It was both an awesome experience and grueling at the same time (I was and still am a little sick).(˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )Ihad never heard about ALA (American Librarian Association) but learned quickly that it was an industry even with all the major publishers you can think of! (I even saw NASA + the ...
SZ Vol II Page Process Preview
When I tell say I never planned for my comic to EVER be printed I'm not joking. This page is an example of the vertical WT layout not really working in a page-by-page layout (So I reworked/redrew it).This scene is one of the first I drew after I quit my day job to focus full time on SZ + it's very crucial to the story. Despite my layout assistant doing her best (she really is a wizard) I felt the original layout lacked a lot of the "scale" of Clove sitting on the ledge. I did my best to redraw it and edit these panels as best ...
SZ Vol II Cover Concepts Sketches
It's that time again! Prepping to draw another cover and slowly going crazy over all the little details! Fun fact, I've actually been working on SZ Volume II this entire time but since there is no cover I was embarrassed to say anything since I had nothing to show for it! HUHUHUHUI have no idea what Kyro's arms will be doing but I'm leaning on him holding a prop (probably the other dragon dagger!) I LOVE when sets of things look like they were designed together so I want this second volume to fit in seamlessly with the first. I&...
Ep 201 Finished Panel Preview
Hello Dear dragons, I hope you're all doing well on this happy Wednesday! I for one am happy to get back into my regular schedule now that things seem to be getting back to normal.I mentioned before that I felt absolutely terrible each time I was unable to deliver episodes that were not to my standard art-wise. I'm very content I was able to take my time with this delicate Aaron/Dragon "Clove" scene.I've waited so long to get to this part of the story and for what Is to come! Thank you all so much for your patience and suppo...
"The Odd Eyed Falcon" Vol II Illust Preview
One of the few illusts I was able to work on while I was away from home during hurricane Beryl.Since we had no power at home, our friends were kind enough to take my partner and I (plus or cat) in while we waited for electricity to be restored. I drew this on their living room floor using my intuous "blind" tablet while rewatching "Road to El Dorado." It wasn't very comfortable but I'd say I had a good time despite the whole ordeal. ^^ Since Vol I or II don't have "chapters" like we are used to on WT, I deci...
Even Villains Need a Love Interest... (Raizo/Myste)
I couldn't resist. I love those lovey dovey edits I see all over instagram-> X So I decided to make one about these two (in their younger years of course). In some ways I think of Myste acting as a Raizo's punishment in the series. She is completely obsessed with him (she can smell him) and imagines their relationship as part of a K-Drama. She's also saved his life twice in the series (but did Raizo want to come back?) ^^ I think deep down he is somewhat fond of her, but more often than not puts up with her advances for other reaso...

SZ Volume I Interior Sneak Peek!
She's Here!!!! (ALMOST) Since some of my readers at Tokyo X got to flip through the SZ Volume I book I thought it would only be fair to give you all a sneak peek of it as well!! Please keep in mind that I recently purchased a camera + lights because I felt my phone camera pictures would not do this book justice and they're still not even close to how I see the actual thing.I casually selected a few random pages as well as some of the interior illustrations and quick look into the backmatter pages! I included a bit more info in there in...
Life Update 6/22/2024
Hello my Dragons, I just wanted to check in with all of you and catch you up with what’s happened since the last time I posted.I’m better (I think so at least). When I wrote my last update, I think the stress that came with months of consistent burnout was really getting to me… so I took a break.I stopped bothering with social media (to an extent), I put as much of the book stuff on hold, I asked WT to put the comic on hiatus until July while I slowly caught up with work and TOOK MY TIME working on episodes.Previously, every Sunday when d...
"Tied Up" Kylove NSFW Illust
I saw a great comment/suggestion about a continuation scene following Ep 179and I couldn't agree more!I don't know HOW they ended up here but they sure did... Since Clove has gotten more and more proficient with using a rope dart she is creative enough to use it other ways(+ I'm sure she always keeps it nearby).But what happens when Kyro is her victim??? A lot apparently... I don't think the Crimson Dragon can handle himself this time... ^^HUHU! Iam also working on a mini-comic w/extra panels to accompany this scene but I wanted...
Kyro serenading Clove
Some drawings for a social media post I doodled in my off-time. I still haven't edited it together (It always takes me forever) but I hope the final product turns out better than these little stills here! ^^
SZ Character Stickers WIP
Just going to drop this WIP here before I make my final adjustments and send them to the printer! I'm not sure who is going to want a Raizo sticker but I imagine there's bound to be some Raizo Stans in the audience. ^^ -Juni
Mermay 2024 Roundup!
It's the last day of Mermay 2024 so I finally got around to finishing up Lionfish Kyro! I really like they way all of these looked together so I decided to throw them all in a canvas together. -Juni For more illusts, minicomics, doodles please see the MASTERLIST!
SubZero 2024 High Res Chibi Print + Inks
That's right, I REDREW IT! After my last depressing life update(Thank you for all the supportive comments btw, I'm still planning to reply to all of you) I still felt like I was still bum-rushing everything and ultimately not making myself happy when it came to the end product. That's the problem with most WT related things (including the comic).But yes, I'm glad I got a chance to redraw this from the original post (I'll probably still double dip into the old files and make some stickers out of them) . This print will be av...
Ep 197 Preview Panels <3
it's been a while since I was confident enough to share some preview panel sneak peeks before the episode went up! *COUGHS* Miss Mari (Nouren's Ex Fiance) might have a new target on her radar.... Mari was one of those chars I designed on the spot. Everyone says she looks like a piece of bubblegum but I was thinking more along the lines of cotton candy. In any case I love drawing her bangs and lips the most of any char I'd say. As always thank you for your kind comments and support. I've been having a really rough time lately a...
2024 Mid-Life Update – Espresso or Depresso?
Hello dear Dragons (Patrons),It’s been a little while since I’ve had a life update post like this so here goes. Please note I’m not in the happiest of moods right now, but I’m going to speak candidly about some things that have happened and what I’ve been experiencing. I never thought I’d hit a wall like this. For some reason, I imagined that getting featured some time ago my life would be super easy but HOLY SHIT I did not sign up for this!!!! The amount of time I spend thinking about OTHER stuff unrelated to actually making SubZer...
SZ Chibi Print WIPs #1, 2, 3
WIP of a new SZ Illust I'm trying to finish up before Tokyo X next month! The original concept I had for this was #3, where all the chars would be riding on the back of a cloud dragon (Which is why Nouren looks like he is floating/falling here). I never realized how difficult it was to get all these chars to sit in one image, not to mention interact. (Those giant heads are cute but they can't even hold hands because of them). After some deliberation I also felt like the background was a bit lacking so I decided to go with a "Snowdr...
#Mermay2024 Part 1
It's #mermay and you know what that means- an excuse to draw my OC's as pretty ocean creatures! It all started with Raizo (the prettiest of them all) whose design I based on a Tiger Shark, then continued with Kharis (Koi Fish) and Clove (Leafy Seadragon).I've attached the linework for these as well since some of the "sketchiness" gets painted over in the quick rendering process. Up next on my to do list is the rest of the boys (Kyro, Aaron, Nouren) but possibly Myste and Reina as well. I'm wrecking my brain on what crea...
Ep 195 Panel Process
I'm not sure if anyone could tell, but I definitely enjoyed painting the first part of this episode a lot. Kayen's long hair makes him so pretty, and since I don't get to draw him much I try to indulge in it every time. If you're already caught up with the fast pass eps, you'll know the context of this scene is pretty dark.. but I love all the theories that are coming out of it! Thank you again for your support!June <3
SubZero Volume I Illust Preview
Hello dear Dragons, as many of you know SubZero Volume I is scheduled to come out September 2024! My fingers are itching to get my hands on the author's copy but in the meantime all I can do is wait. Here is a preview of one of the interior Illusts I created of Clove (I really loved adding the snowdrops in her hair). As you might have heard, WT seems to be cracking down on "Book Promotion" at the end of episodes so I've essentially been left to marketing this book all on my own. T_T (I've debated posting a lengthy essay...
Ep 194 Process Panels
I wonder how many of us ever thought.... this guy... would wake up in Dragon Dream Land and speak with KAYEN of all people. :D The next episode partially dives into this scene so I'm, quite excited to work on it. Why is he seeing Kayen? There was a hint in one of the earlier episodes it should become more and more clear as the story moves on. In other news, I can't believe we're coming on the cusp of episode 200 and every panel has been painstakingly painted in this way. I really love seeing how much of a difference the fog + effec...
"Dragon Siblings" Illust Preview
Preview of the Dragon Siblings Illust I finished up for this month. It's actually a remake of a WIP I painted nearly 4 years ago -> https://www.patreon.com/posts/dragon-siblings-33140530At the time, anatomy and posing was still pretty difficult for me (It still is) but It definitely comes to me way easier. I always loved the dynamic of these two and I think it would look awesome as a a Gold Foil print. (Perhaps for an upcoming giveaway). I'll be sure to post pictures when the order comes in! Thank you so much for your patience these l...
"Dragon Siblings" Kyro/Kharis Illust
After AGES of letting this sketch -> "Dragon Siblings 2020"rot in my files I finally came around to finish it! I'm actually really proud of the inkwork and shading despite initially finding it hard to pose these two. I also tried to make the lighting a tad more realistic and cleaner than usual. I'm never a fan of "wait until your skills improve enough before you attempt that thing you've always wanted"however in this case I feel like the wait paid off. I'm thinking of making this a limited time print (perhaps f...
"Horsie" New Comic Preview
Again, no plans to launch this anytime soon but here's another preview of the "horsie" comic idea I've also been doodling in my free time. The comic follows a blacksmith mc who steals a magical fire horse and attempts to become a great champion. (As you can see the horse is also color changing) .I've actually had the idea for this story since 2017 (back when SZ was on Discover/Canvas) and I really hope I can make it a reality. It's going to more along the lines of an adventure/friendship story under the backdrop of "...
