Lineart WIP for some promo art :)
Really happy with how a lot of the characters and backgrounds are turning out!

Genuinely insane the difference a couple months of practice makes.

Given it's been a year since Nocturne of Souls released, I wanted to redraw Dalia and Y'ALL??? I knew I'd gotten better but seeing these two pics side-by-side made me a little emotional ngl

I was never happy with William's hair post Sonata, so I decided to go back and redesign it! In the end, I made it slightly longer, a little messier and overall just more fluffy! (also new rendering style practice!)

More new concept art for my last scifi book, 5028: Nocturne of Souls:

Nine. One of ten Soulless Commanders, specializing in weapons RnD. Once a close friend of Dalia Fitz, how will she fare when her closest ally turns coat on the faction she's given her life to?

New concept art for my next sci-fi fantasy book, Rondo of Revolution:
The Stormtrailer. A boogieman of Draen mythos, lovingly (and horrifyingly) brought to life by the Soulless! How will the Sparrow Crew contest a being that controls the winds of magic itself?

So I'm probably jumping the gun on this, but with me working so tirelessly on my next book, I got a rush of inspiration to make the main theme.
For a story about strife and tyranny, of manipulation and freedom, I present the Rondo of Revolution!

The constitution is officially out the window...

My best friend is Jewish and we were having a talk about our futures. I was unaware of how bad things were getting for them, especially how many synagogues were being firebombed.

It's been awful that people have been targeting innocent people for something they don't want in the first place
