Anyone else a little in the #Mothman As Owl camp with me, or...?

I miss the speed I used to crank things out and the characters I used to be able to draw over and over again without issue before this burnout really set in... I know recovery isn't a straight line, but I really do wish it was a little faster.

The D&D2024 designs are phenomenal, but there's something about the old chromatic concepts that still draws me in... It's a fun exercise to approach them from a place of "what if these creature wasn't 100% Obviously Inherently 'Evil?'"

Happy New Year from a lazy little pumpkin~

As per custom.. my Art Summary of 2025!

I did a LOT of pieces early on in the year, and each month had at least ONE solid piece to represent it. I want to make that a habit in 2026.

The November piece is one I started in that month, buuut.. the finished one will be shown soon... for -reasons-. c:

Thank you all for the encouragement this year 😊 I made some work I'm really proud of and am so grateful for any of you's who have followed along

Some folks request the most adorable things ❤️
I drew this for a player of mine a while back. Her character might be a big fearsome barbarian, but he's got a soft spot for the wee and fluffy.

Something about the rise of all the artificial bull look has made me feel the need to share more again. (Finally...)
Plus... there's something spitefully rewarding in feeling like shit yet making something nice anyway.

See there ARE guides for easing out of burnout, some of them even helpful, but maybe if I keep scrolling around for the RIGHT one, I'll finally--

Congratulations to everyone who got in <3
I'll still be coming around to see everyone's amazing selves this summer.
Just gotta go hug my cat and shake out the bummers for a bit at the moment...

I can deal with not being fast enough.
I *can't* quite deal with the cause of that being that... despite being on time, having everything ready, having the link up and ready to click,
I still spent 2 full minutes clicking/refreshing before i even had the OPTION of trying to check out...

???????????????????????????????????

Dude, why is the flamecon ticket portal not working again??

Awesome! 🎉

Tables sold out in three minutes. Nice...
Wish me luck on Friday, guys, or this might wind up another loiter year for me at Flamecon.😅

I also keep a small collection of other comic projects working to bring together parts of the comic community. Sites, publishers, podcasts, and plenty more. These days this kind of work is such a valuable asset that's worth noting down.

Etsy update today at 10AM EST! I lost a big chunk of my audience from tiktok, so any interaction is appreciated! 🥲🩷

ha... hahaaaahaa...
so, about those doldrums...

Another year, another FlameCon! I can't wait to see everyone again at the Times Square Sheraton in August~

The perpetual doldrum of 'i think i'm feeling better... maybe i'll feel better enough to post again, soon'

Is there, like... a How to Come Out of Burnout Hibernation checklist somewhere...?

There's nothing like looking forward to the mind-numbing task of inking hundreds of individual bones by hand to get ya FINALLY learning how to make custom brushes... |D
