Bonus Panel:
Listen, I SWEAR I really am a bodhisattva...
Just let me explain. You know how in Tibetan Buddhism, they once identified the new Dalai Lama by presenting a young boy with several items and seeing if he chose the one that belonged to the previous Dalai Lama?? That's because the Dalai Lama is a "bodhisattva," or an enlightened person who has broken the cycle of reincarnation, but decides to reincarnate anyway help others instead of attaining Nirvana for themselves. So, they were trying to find who he reincarnated into.Anyway, they did that "pick your old item" to me. And...

BONUS PANELS: This is one of those character that I actually took the time to design, cuz I want to fit in as many "2010 deviantart OC" tropes as I possibly could. The angle and evil wings. The robot limbs. The homophobia heterochromia.And then I started thinking, what if the viewer in this comic got nostalgic and made a redesign of her? I like to imagine that the 'soul' of the character travels between designs -- so even in a new design, it would still be her, just in a new shell! I thought about making the eyes of the redesig...
I'm nervous about posting this one ( + BONUS PANEL )
BONUS PANEL: W-wow Shareholders-chan, um... are you... are you sure you even wanna GIVE me a deal that good??---So, like, these days I don't really like to get into topic-of-the-day stuff or make negative comics, but I just that that this one is really funny. Like, Shareholders-chan is funny right?? C'mon.Imagine she's like "I have to report this to the board" and then we cut to the board and it's all her stuffed animals around a little table. IT'S A GOOD BIT!!!But still, I am nervous to post it, because I generally...
WE KEEP MOVING (Kei Cars Hours 6-10)
I like to take the Resident Evil Nemesis approach to art goals. I'm not always there, but when it least expects it, I bust through a nearby wall and then just walk towards it slowly. Not fast. Not clever. Just WALKING. Here's 5 hours of 6 minute studies, along with some warmups. The previous post was 3 minute studies. (At this point I needed to take a breather and unfortunately did slide backwards a bit in my understanding of the form, but I got back to it.) For the next 5 hours, I intend to do something like this:Observe for 1 minuteDr...
Example (+ BONUS PANELS!)
BONUS PANELS: Some of you may remember the original of this one, ALSO from 9 years ago! Let's take a look at the old and the new together.I decided on a lower key, dialogue-less punchline for this new one, but with a strong facial expression and detailing. My Elf Esteem is genuinely quite big. I mean I played this smooth-brained magic school flunkie in D&D for like a year: Hope you have a good weekend y'all! :]
Let's Add a Twist ( + Bonus Panels! )
Today I decided to remake an old comic of mine from 2016 -- but with a TWIST to make it a little less of a BUMMER!! I've been in a funk lately, both in terms of mood and in terms of artwork. But I've been keeping up both my physical and mental health exercises, and making stuff like this helps too. :] BONUS PANELS:Let's also take a look at and compare the old and the new one: My artwork has gotten so different. But it's 9 years apart!! 9 years is a long-ass time. Thanks for reading, y'all. While I'm in this funk, I may d...

I'm canning Unkillable, but I still wanna tell the story.
Hey peeps, so I said I would be doing a miniseries called Unkillable. Basically, here is what happened with that:I released the first comic.It bombed pretty hard. Very hard, actually, like sub-average-text-post level.Because that comic bombed, it's not unlikely that all subsequent ones in the series will do something between under-performing and bombing (because those readers would be coming in in the middle of the story, not knowing what's going on). This is why usually I don't plan miniseries in advance, I just see that a comic do...

BONUS PANEL:
New Miniseries Announcement (+ CHARACTER DESIGNS! )
The miniseries will be about a soldier and a general having to contend with an unprecedented bioweapon. The antagonist was originally going to be Shen, but I changed my mind and wanted it to be this silly looking guy instead.What are the bioweapons abilities? How do they intend to deal with it? I won't spoil that. You'll have to find out through the miniseries. Guesses, which I will not confirm or deny, are always welcome. :]
It is what it looks like. ( + BONUS PANEL )

Help me choose again please!
Okay, so on the last comic, I let y'all pick which comic idea I should make. I wanna try it again, if you don't mind!Here are the ideas:TOWN AIN'T BIG ENOUGHPanel 1: Shen, cowboy outfit, dramatic glare: "This town ain't big enough for the both of us."Panel 2: Life, also cowboy outfit, dramatic glare: "I reckon ... this town ain't big enough for either of us."Panel 3: Zoomed out side view of them staring at each other. The town between them is very small, like literally up to their ankles.Panel 4: Shen, still ...
I was serious about the kei cars thing ( 5 Hours of 20 )
Context for those who need it: A few days ago, I got pissed about not being able to draw kei cars, which are those stout-looking cars they have in Japan, that you'd often see in Akira Toriyama's artwork. I vowed to spend 20 hours practicing drawing them. The first 5 hours are now complete.Always gotta warm up. Don't forget the warmup! GOTTA do that WARM-UP!!! Start the session off right ... with a warmup!!!! LEARN!! LEARN!! LEARN!! LEARN!! By the way ... That comic that y'all recommended I do last night did quite well. Over 600 ...

Memory ( + NERU'S IDOL FIT! )
We've reached the conclusion of this miniseries. Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoyed it! As a bonus panel for this last one, here is Neru and her fangirl, stanced up in a Waluigi or perhaps a Ginyu Force type pose: This fanon Neru idol fit is a bit inspired by Neapolitan Ice cream currently.

Now, you might notice that Neru is no longer holding the phone here. She's holding both glowsticks at the end, right?So who is phone?Did a random person in the audience offer to hold the phone for her? Is it a staff member? A friend of hers?It IS a friend of hers, and you might know him already. I'll give you a hint:He has a somewhat angry resting expression just like she does.He has a big yellow ponytail just like she does.Any guesses at it who it is before I reveal? Hmmm???IT'S.......... WOW, IT'S ZERO!!! ZERO FROM MEGAMAN!...

One was that she would be at home bedrotting: And this one was probably the best 'punchline.' Another was that she would be at work, as a bartender at the bar across the street from the venue:(If you're thinking the fit here is a little inspired by VA-11 Hall-A, you're absolutely righ...

Hey peeps, It's been kinda a rough week, so unfortunately, I just straight up missed an updated day.

I got a little overambitious with the Teto story. π BUT, getting back on my feet with a D&D meme that I'm gonna post publicly tomorrow: These are meant to be just generic character stand-ins that people might compare their own party to, but I did end up cooking a bit on the designs. So let me e...
Some Vocaloid Visual Development, And, Uh
OKAY SO!! As y'all might have seen, I'm doing a series lately about the vocal synth Akita Neru, the Miku derivative featured with Miku and TOKAY SO!! As y'all might have seen, I'm doing a series lately about the vocal synth Akita Neru, the Miku derivative featured with Miku and Teto in the classic vocaloid song Triple Baka. I plan to continue that series with 5 more comics -- but for that, I really needed to figure out how to draw those characters in the "Shen Comix" style.It required a bit of tweaking and simplification...
