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

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

Inktober Day 4: Murky
I uh, initially was planning on making like, a pretty swamp or something and the more I painted the more it just kind of... evolved. So I ended up a bit off script today 😅

I've been working on my next book, Rondo of Revolution, since late 2023. It was supposed to be a fun little book about opposing tyranny, ending human trafficking and freeing a nation from strife.

Then 2025 hit and it wasn't fun anymore

Hell I could retire now at 25 and have enough creative endeavors to last my entire life.

Alas, work needs to get done and money needs to be made 😅
