Updated cover of my novel Stolen Darknesss!

"Ten years ago, Archsage Magnus made a decree that hid a dark secret from the younger mages of Eleo Valley. When his second-in-command is murdered, he is forced to reevaluate his decision or else his idyllic home is overrun by dark magic. "

Fiona, Westwind, Icarus, and Dorothy

Man I started this back in...2018?! These are characters from my Methyean story, that have since been cut.

Fiona is a female knight who excels in tournaments. Icarus is skilled in plant magic and Dorothy wants to follow in her mother's footsteps

Been doing a lot of traditional art lately.

I feel overwhelmed when I go to digital art right not. Just going back to sketching in my sketchbook is freeing. Gets the imagination going. I can feel like I can draw "crap".

I know people are gonna come at me saying itโ€™s messy, but I love the look of just seeing the hair color instead of linework. I just let my stroke taper off as if it were an ink brush. It makes it look more natural to me. It also allows for extra wisps of hair if youโ€™re feeling fancy

"Shattered Fragments"

The characters in my comic feel they are walking on a thin sheet of glass. If they stop, they'll fall into the endless void.

The print is up in my shop at www.bexatthedesk.com

This was my cat Buddy (full name "Mom's Buddy") who was the smartest orange cat I've ever heard of. He became my little protector in the dark and he was already a protector of his skittish outside brother CharChar (who came in a year later cause he was lonely).

image 1: Bill cipher floating in a starry background gesturing to an image of an equilateral among an iscoceles triangle and a line, with an arrow moving to a gorup with another equilateral, a scalene, and a line. Narration says "I wasn't born with power. My existence started at the bottom of Flatland's caste system."

Image 2: Close up of a yellow, featurless Bill, holding an image of various shapes. "If you've read Edward Abbot's Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, then you know of my country and my dimension."

Image 3: Various images of shape injustices--an irregular triangle being executed, a hexagon being shattered by lines, and lower caste shapes. "I chafed under the injustices of my country. I ran away when I was barely an adult. That's when the sphere found me". Bill in his flatland form is standing in front of a large sky blue sphere.

Image 1: Bill in his featureless flatland form floats above the scene of flatland: streets with perfectly alined pentagonal houses and various shapes walking around the streets. All is monochrome but from his vantage point he sees there is light coming from above. It says, "Everyone lived in ignorance of the concept of three dimensions. I was chosen to remedy that."

Image 2: A black and white gradient background with a line of white, glowing triangles stand in a line. Many iscoceles flank Bill in the middle. Their shadows are long and white against the background. it says, "They thought that if they chose one fo the lowest but most numerous class, then there would be revolution."

Image 3: The same image but now all triangle are covered in red. Many of them are broken. Bill is covered in the most and his shadow is dripping red. Broken shapes of all kinds lay at their feet. Words in red, jagged lines say, "There was."
