Finally getting back to Patreon commissions; here're pencils for a Rowdy Roddy/Keith David THEY LIVE piece (second attempt, as the first one was *really* not good)

Penciled the figures for a pair of DRACULA sets that I'll be releasing this month and next. Went with the book descriptions, when they existed, so far as I was able.

The Santa's workshop set comes with a Santa figure and a Mrs. Claus figure*; I've painted three different skin tones for both so that folks can choose the Clauses that best reflect their own families *the set also includes ten elves

Hey, friends! I'm a big fan of Sebastien De Castell's swashbuckling GREATCOATS series, so for this month's paper figure set I drew its trio of dueling magistrates: Kest, Falcio, and Brasti. Download for free, print & cut it out, put it next to your copies:

This month (exact date unknown, I believe) marks the 200th anniversary of the near-fatal grizzly mauling of mountain man Hugh Glass during the Rocky Mountain Fur Company's 1822-23 expedition. I made a paper figure set of the company years back: …1/

A few years back I drove up 41 to see the spot where Big Headless Harpe's skull hung for a hundred and eleven years, and found the historical marker where it was supposed to be, but it seemed odd at the time - the head was supposed to have been hung at a crossroads, and... 1/

Spent an hour watching an episode of Midnight Mass (giving it a second watch-through) and starting the tight pencils on the final level of the Santa playset: the stables. (a local friend let me visit her stables and carriage/sleigh house for reference, and it's been very helpful)

Helping my mom pack, found my xeroxed copy of @jeffsmithsbone's BONE. There wasn't a place in my rural KY town to buy it, but a girl at my school let me borrow her copy, bought on a city trip, and photocopy it at my dad's office so that I could read it over and over, which I did.

For the sake of clarity with editors/art directors, I've gotten into the habit of doing my roughs with a grayscale value pass. It doesn't necessarily reflect exactly what I'm going to do with the finals, but makes clear how I'll use color or value to differentiate planes.

I took a long walk after a long talk with my lit agent Charlie and a longer talk with my unofficial editor/storypal Kyle, and finally cracked how to make OUTLAW'S APPRENTICE emotionally-driven rather than plot-driven without changing much of the plot. Only had to add 1 page!

FINALLY finished drawing and inking the rest of the silver fir tree for the big Santa disPlayset. There's still plenty of background workshop station stuff to do around it, but that was the big obstacle. The project tunnel is starting to show some light way off in the distance!

I worry that a book will suffer if I can't give it undivided attention, but I did plenty of books while holding a day job, on top of other obligations. I can carve time again.
In the 3 hours I've worked (started yesterday), I've written/roughed three pages. Up to 53 now (of 250)!

This popped up on my FB memories from 8 years back, and it still holds true:

"Thumbing/penciling a page, and as I was drawing it I remembered that in comics, NOT seeing the moment of action but instead having to deduce what action occurred is often much funnier."

I got an ipad so that i can work not-at-the-desk sometimes (I've gotten to the point where I almost exclusively do my pencils digitally, so to do anything other than fool around I needed something screeny).
First sketch on it that I'm pretty happy with (about ten sketches in):
