Nuclear Jackal

Thanks again for your support! :D

I did a Twitch stream last night, inking my ASD autobiography comic. This is from that time my art college visited Paris.

I'll be streaming at 4pm PST every Thursday for the next few weeks :) www.twitch.tv/nuclearjackal

'The Big Soup' is coming along. Last month I tabled at three 2-day conventions, but now it looks like I'll be back on track. It's a tight schedule, and we have another 235+ pages to ink in the next six months.

Some more work-in-progress panels from the College era (shading and tweaks having been applied yet). The part of Cardiff we lived in was rather unpleasant.

Happy Halloween! Here's some throwback art from 2020! :D

Something silly I made back in 2021 but never got around to uploading it until now

However, she was also dealing about it in an unprofessional manner, leading me to push back. So both sides were at fault here. I was around 16-17 years old at this point (2/2)

Here are some inks, before I fix/edit them and apply shading. This scene could do with just a little more context, but it's spread out over many prior pages, which I can fit here: I was misbehaving more around this time, which explains my keyworker/LSW's mood (1/2)

Some panels take longer than others. For me, drawing people is very tricky. So those panels take long due to trial and error. These building panels take long not due to difficulty but mostly just because there are a lot of details to cover.

Recently inked the three panels where I remember my lurcher labrador cross. Chapter 5 just about finished: glad I tackled the toughest one first!

50ish pages down, 280ish to go!

2/2

In 30 days I've managed to ink 50 pages. Chapter 5 is almost finished, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of it materialise

These panels are about my experience with studying for the GCSEs (exams UK pupils take around age 16, vital for entering further education)

1/2

I posted this previously as Pencils, but now it's finally inked (blue shading still pending)

More WIPs from my autobio graphic novel project about growing up autistic. This is from when I was around 14 and went with my boarding school on a trip to France. Albeit a trip that featured few French people, and many activities that could have just as easily been done in the UK

SHAH!

(2/2) These panels aren't 100% finalised, and tweaks edits are expected before they are finalised

Inking my autobio comic continues. Here's a scene from when I was about 13. I was enrolled in a boarding school for pupils with angry outbursts. Autistic pupils were grouped together with others with different behavioural issues, many with criminal recods.

The devil, from a thing I'm working on. I did a lot of research on Abenaki and Celtic mythology to make him, though I may not be done. May go to the library to try and find a better resource than what I could find online.

Only one chapter remaining to pencil! Infant School is finished, now for Junior school, possibly the most nostalgic era of my life (Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z, drawing my first comics, and more!) But here's one more scene from my Infant School days.

More memories: this is how all the greatest plumbers got their start

Ah, memories

Thanks for posting this, this is how I discovered your art!

Just finished pencilling Chapter 2 of the autobio (set during ages 0-4). Two more chapters left, then it'll be finished! :)

Thanks again for sharing my work! :D

More pencilled panels, this time from the part of my autobio where I recount living together with my partner, after about 8 years of long distance relationship.

220 pages pencilled so far, that's 100 in the past 60 days. Some panels might be rewritten, so we'll see if some of these pencils that I've shared end up looking different in the end. I've been getting lots of helpful feedback from friends :)

Its me! BTW, Halfsoul books are in bookstores today!

A self-illustrated portrait of Scarlet Wings Kaili. She is depicted as a woman with medium skin tone and chin-length dark hair in a choppy cut, in profile in front of a window with cracked glass, holding a feather.

"At its core, I wanted to create an inequitable world where demons like to roam and slurp up all those desperate people. Yum."

We interview artist @scarletwingskaili.bsky.social about her HALFSOUL series, which depict mental health struggles in a magical setting:
