Tracy Yardley!

What a privilege it was to work with such amazing artists!

Funny it’s been so long since I did those. I can’t remember little details like the drool.
I’m glad you could get one of the pages. I like seeing Jim Amash’s inks but I think Terry’s were the perfect match for my pencil in style and I really miss having his ink on my work.

If you’re in Savannah, come on out to the show!

As for sketchbook pro specifically, idk. There are plenty of app options but Comic Draw is perfect for black and white comics and does rudimentary colors that you can finish up elsewhere. It does lettering too but I don’t use it for that much at all

I got an iPad Pro in 2018 and I’ve done lots of comics and illustration gigs with it. Bought it thru Verizon so I could make payments instead of buy outright. I use a $20 app called Comic Draw for 90-95% of my work and finish up with a pirate copy of photoshop CS5. No regrets

I think Ko-fi is basically that. I have one but I’ve never had/taken the time to really make use of it

Been a while since I did a cover for The Phoenix, I am particularly proud of this one! :D #ThePhoenix #Doggo

Post from graemefrisque from instagram (I think) saying: If Trump invades Greenland, military conflict is the least of Americans' concerns. You don't need weapons to bring the US to its knees with its nearly $40 trillion in debt. The rest of the world can collectively dump US bonds & drop the US dollar as the global reserve currency for the Euro & send it into hyperinflation overnight, annihilating the US economy & completely isolating America in the process. Doesn't matter how big your military is if you can't afford to feed & pay your soldiers.

Came across this while posting about conventions

Ad that says basically the same stuff in my post

AND I’ll be at the Satellite comic shop in downtown Savannah, GA this Saturday January 24th from 2-7pm so come on out!

Ad for the Anime Town Convention in Greenville, SC featuring Knuckles and Blaze voice actors Dan Green and Erica Schroeder

While you’re there you can also meet Knuckles and Blaze voice actors Dan Green and Erica Schroeder

Ad for the Anime Town Convention in which my last name is incorrectly spelled “Yardly” when it should be spelled “Yardley” Oh well. It’s a nice change of pace from people misspelling my first name.

In nicer news (ignore the misspelled name 🙄) I’ll be in Greenville, SC for the Anime Town Convention in just two weeks from January 30-February 1!
See ya there!

Every nation on Earth needs to cut us off. Isolate us. Take away the one thing America worships above all else: money. For allowing things to get to where they are, the US needs to be humbled so utterly and completely that we don't allow this to happen again for at least the next two centuries.

Don't know all the details, but read that EU could halt current US trade deal and that Canada has bypassed major agricultural infrastructure to avoid the US. And good! I don't want to personally, or for decent Americans to suffer financially, but the world needs to bring us to our knees.

Repost for reasons

Thank you!

Me scratching my cat’s head, who despite having only 3 legs, has climbed up on my shoulder for the express purpose of demanding said scratches.

This cat is 18 years old and has 3 legs. He said fuck whatever work you’re doing, it’s time for scratches.

The cover to Sonic the Hedgehog: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds one-shot, cover B by this guy right here. Featuring all your favourite sonic characters like Jet the Hawk on their racing vehicles from the hit new videogame 'sonic car design and I guess also racing but it's mostly a big fight would you STOP SAWING MY CAR IN HALF JEEEZ' at least I think that's what it's called.

The cover to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures #30 B cover by this lil mutant aka me. Featuring the lads surfing through the sewer except they're skating but I still called it sewer surfing because of the game and I'm not very smart. I covered the bottom of the skateboards in nods and throwback references to the TMNT's long and storied career because I love those goofs. 9.95!

The cover to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures #18 B cover by a me you might know. Can you believe they let me do this twice? Well this was the first one but you know what I mean. I wonder if I cross my fingers real hard and make a wish they'll let me do another one. This one being my first meant I had to involve my favourites so that's why Casey Jones is flexing in the top right because he's the best. Also weirdly despite it being the first time I ever drew him I REALLY like how Rocksteady looks on this cover. He's tricky and I think he looks on model! Good job me.

Okay so I haven't done four solo covers yet so have a random pinup style illustration of Sonic The Hedgehog because otherwise I'd have to post a one off sample of me inking or colouring someone else and that wouldn't be fair making me pick a single sample. I've inked/coloured a bunch of super cool people and honestly I love working with them all. I just try my best not to ruin their work but I've got a long way to. As you can see from my awful colouring job on this cover, I really need to focus on that this year. But the special stage is a nice nostalgic hit for me and I've not done any full solo art I can share just yet in like a year so I can't use that really but just you wait JUST YOU WAIT. I got a big thing dropping around June maybe it'll be fun. It involves not one, but TWO penguins. That's all I'll say about that. Also Chaos Emeralds ae rad and the Classic Sonic Special Stages are as follows: 2's half pipe > 1's rotating nightmare >>> > 3d blasts boring bridges >>>>>>>>>>>>>3's blue spheres.

Hey #PortfolioDay, I'm Rik!
I draw, ink and colour comics! I've worked on Sonic the Hedgehog, TMNT, Transformers, MLP, Miraculous Ladybug, Felix the Cat, Godzilla and more in some capacity or other!

Book in a jam? Need someone to help get it to the finish line? Hit me up!
