please support ur friends making creative shit in this cruel world. u have no idea how much a kind comment can mean to an artist when every website just tries to make you focus on the numbers

(Reminder that there won't be new comic pages released on social media until January of 2026, but I'll still be sharing art for the project as a whole. You can find out more via blog posts on Ko-Fi, no membership required!)

[Image ID: A multi-panel comic page beginning with Winny laying in her bedroll and slowly waking up as Grek nudges her arm with a closed fist. "Wins..." he says gently. Winny rouses and sits up. "Grek...? Wahsa mahter?" she asks, one eye cracked open blearily to look at him. "You slept through the bell again." Grek replies. Grek begins to try and haul Winny to her feet. "Mmnghm...five more minutes?" she pleaded. "Up." Grek continues to try and pull her up by her arms as she groans tiredly. Grek leads Winny out of the tent as she yawns loudly. They walk toward a small gathering at the center of their encampment in the woods. End ID.]

They may be late, but looks like there's still something cooking...

someone has been letting their dog out on their balcony to howl at the sky in my apartment complex at 5AM every morning for the past few days.

I love a good awooo from dogs, but I'm starting to feel like a cartoon farmer with a rooster crowing as the sun rises. #blog

you've unlocked a new title: "Frog Master"

phenomenal work!! I love this so much!!! 💛💛💛

She goes through life events while the frog looks on

She decides she wants to wake up as she was slowly transforming into a frog

She crawls up the hole and back to the surface

The young woman trudges home

comic page of a young woman walking down an apartment hallway. She drops some of her papers in front of a sleeping frog who wakes up with a yawn

The frog puts on a coat and takes one of her papers in a hurry, she follows him

while following the frog her shoe heel breaks in the snow and she falls in a hole

She wakes up in a memory of her friends enjoying a time when they were younger

A very stream of consciousness comic about the trappings of nostalgia

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

[Image ID: A colored sketch of Cassander standing with one arm on his hip and the other flexing as he says, "There! Now you can see better!" with a cheerful grin to Grek who is blushing nervously as he uses one hand to support himself while perched on Cassander's bicep. There's text that reads "(Grek) isn't used to being lifted up casually." End ID.]

[Image ID: A colored sketch of Cassander and Grek sitting on the floor. Cassander has his arms wrapped around Grek's torso and legs bracketed loosely around him. His head is leaned on top of Grek as he sleeps peacefully. Grek has his knees halfway up to his chest, and his glasses are missing. His eyes are open wide, and his hands are lightly holding Cassander's forearms. There's text that reads, "They were hiding Grek from patrolling guards, but Cassander got too comfortable and fell asleep."End ID.]

[Image ID: A colored sketch of Cassander and Grek chatting excitedly to each other. Cassander leans his crossed arms against a table's surface while looking down at Grek, who holds the edge of the table with his hands, and his tail is wagging happily to the side of him. Their speech bubbles are unreadable, but there's text that reads "Certified yappers" eith arrows pointing to them both. A note from the artist at the bottom corner reads, "Thanks for scrollin'!" with a small heart drawn beside it. End ID.]

cuddly Cassander is my favorite kind of Cassander.

(And yes, in the world of ARAHT, goblins purr when they're content! Different species of goblins have different sounding purrs, and the vocal range varies on an individual level. Grek's is very similar to cat purrs.)

[Image ID: A colored sketch of Grek, a young goblin man with glasses, excitedly listens to footsteps approach from off-screen with wide eyes. He's grinning as he says "It's Cassander!" while his left ear flicks up and down. End ID.]

[Image ID: A colored sketch of Grek energetically jumping up to tackle Cassander in a hug while saying "You're back!!" Cassander's eyes are wide with surprised. End ID.]

[Image ID: A colored sketch of Cassander standing with his back to us while Grek has him in a tight embrace. Grek's eyes are scrunched shut as he smiles, wrapping his tail around Cassander's waist. Cassander thinks, "He's purring so loud!" as the sound effect of purrs echos around them. Cassander's ears and Grek's cheeks are flushed. End ID.]

we're a bit far from seeing Cassander appear in the comic currently, but I need to sketch these two having cute moments together at least once a week or I will turn to dust.

I don't know how many times I've watched the KOG pilot, but the number is only gonna grow until it's greenlit for full series production. so SO hype for this show

so excited to see it all together! the preview have been looking great! 💛✨️

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

(also if you saw me repost this a bazillion times: for some reason the image wasn't coming through but it should be good now!)

[Image ID: A multi-panel comic page beginning with Grek standing in the background while he holds a tent flap out of his face with one arm. Surprised, he peers down at a young, blond woman with slightly pointed ears lying on a bedroll. The capitalized text indicating her snoring comically fills the panels to indicate how loud it is, and Grek is framed in the center of the "o" for the first panel specifically. The young woman looks utterly peaceful, one arm thrown above her head and the other resting on her stomach. Grek's ears tip downwards as he closes his eyes and smiles to himself, thinking "Ah." The sound effect text of "Snore" fills the background of the panels. He walks swiftly into the tent to crouch down beside the young woman, his tail coming around lightly smack her blanketed legs as he rests his arms on his knees. One of the young woman's feet is poking out from under the covers. "Winny-" Grek says to here, trying to cut through her loud snoring to wake her. End ID.]

Yeah, they are definitely gonna be late.
(Oh Winny "snores-like-a-chainsaw" Colward, the woman that you are.)

In testing out live streaming these past two weeks, I've learned a lot of things. The biggest thing, tho, is that I'd like to do live streams in the future...but not right now. I'll do a more official update on other socials later, but...as of this moment im putting a hold on stream-tember. #blog

live stream tonight starting at 5pm! (Pacific Time) you can watch me try to finished this page live!

this is a reminder to myself that reading books of any genre/format does way more for my mental health than scrolling on social media will ever do. god, I need to read books SO more. #blog

lol if only. i think that would make them want to keep doing it more.

this just in: local kids are rediscovering ding-dong-ditching in my apartment complex and I'm pulled out of a peaceful afternoon nap while my dog barks his head off about it 😑 #blog

perfect, I'll find a desk treadmill stat 🫡

I'm starting to learn why pro streamers get those gamer chairs. My back is killing me after just two hour sessions. Maybe I've just been sitting too much lately. #blog

Tonight! ✏️✨️ 👀

just a lil guy!! 💚

new fear unlocked (but this looks sick as hell!! 🔥🔥🔥)

Thanks to everyone who stopped by! Had a lovely time chatting with folks and hanging out while sketching! ✏️✨️💛

Livestreams are starting tonight! Come watch me redraw a circle 15 times in front of a live studio audience!
