A really fun print from Steven Wolf Studio's Patreon page is this Star Wars X-Wing model. Comes as either a kit-card or as separate pieces for assembly. Easy to print and build.

A fun articulated Meatlug (Gronckle) from "How to Train Your Dragon" is hot off the H2D print plate.

Followed by a fun pumpkin crate with a green-eyed black cat popping its head up out of the box. It comes on a kit-card so that young & old alike can assemble on their own.

UTINNI!! Is what the Jawa from "Star Wars" is saying about the "wooden" vase I printed on my H2D. I used Bambu Lab's wood PLA filament in an attempt to give the vase a wood-like appearance.

The Jawa was too cute not to print, so I'm doing a few more for the upcoming comic con.

I love Daffy Duck and this model captures his spirit regardless of which era you grew up watching.

This print stand 8.5" inches (216mm) tall and printed in pieces for ease of printing and assembly. If this doesn't sell at the comic con, he'll go up on a shelf in my office.

I'll be there showcasing my new 3D prints of various geek culture stuff as well as having my wife joining me with her custom made pottery featuring some geeky stuff too!

Working on an updated character design for Lorraine. Nothing carved in stone yet, but it helps to draw things out to get the ideas in your head down on paper... so to speak in today's digital world.

More to come as I get back into the drawing mood. 🙂

Saw this going around and thought I'd jump in.

Spring cleaning & maintenance time for my '93 Miata MX5! Oil change & rotating the tires plus new wiper blades & toping off some fluids. Getting ready for another North Carolina spring where everything will be covered with yellow pollen for a couple weeks.

Sorry to hear you're not in a good place. A lot of us are right there with you. I hope tomorrow is better. (Also, I still have one box of cookies left & that helps on some days)

Took a break this afternoon and went to see the new Looney Tunes movie "The Day the Earth Blew Up" featuring Daffy Duck and Porky Pig. I enjoyed the film thoroughly & it was great to see Daffy actually being looney!

FYI, all of the props you see were purchased from the Assets section of Clip Studio Paint and were very inexpensive to acquire, so I did not have to do any 3D modeling. I even acquired a huge variety of poses that I can apply to the characters.

Sample workflow using the 3D tools included in Clip Studio Paint.

For the reboot of the comic, I created some 3D environments using the tools included in Clip Studio Paint. This allows me pose the characters, get the camera angle & lighting I want. No more messing up perspectives! Also speeds up my workflow.

Good friend of mine was the director of GNC at NASA during the shuttle years & worked with Sally on programming the robotic arm the shuttle used to load & unload payloads in space. She's a great person.

My original character Robyn posing in a mechanic's overalls while holding an impact wrench as she outlines a heart in cloud form for Valentine's Day.

As some of you recover from your sugar-high from all of the candy you consumed yesterday, you can enjoy this year's Valentine's Day pin-up over at the new comic website.

As a retired video editor, I feel your pain. The worst time for me was when a client had me do the V.O. & I had to listen to my voice all day long hearing every imperfection (well, imperfections to my brain).

Valentine's Day cards featuring the cartoon characters Animaniacs.

Happy Valentine's Day to one and all!

I've had these Animaniacs Valentine's cards since 1997 when either Justin or Andrew, my two oldest sons, had to hand out cards in school. The Geeky-child in me loves the Animaniacs, so I have kept the cards around for 28 years.

Ghostbusters Ecto 1 model kit from Fanhome under construction.

In addition to drawing comics, I'm also an avid model builder. Currently, I'm building an 1/8 scale Ecto 1 from "Ghostbusters." It'll be 32" long when completed.

The kit is from Fanhome & is comprised of 36 issues with 4 parts per issue. A fun build so far.

I've been watching other comics like yours making a comeback and decided it was time for me to get back to drawing again. And yes, my goal is to get me motivated to draw more often once again.

First comic for the rebooted "1977" webcomic drawn in my old style.

After 17 years, I have rebooted my comic "1977" with new storylines & website! First 4 comics are an homage to the original comics, then the new stories begin. Check out the first new comic at the URL below or in my profile.
