A series of sketches depicting Sol (light haired woman) and Nyx (darker haired woman) both in states of frustration with each other, drawn from a base made by @Capochiino1 on Twitter.

Top row from left to right:
First image -
Nyx (smaller background with her fist raised in determination): Make a pact with me!!
Sol (larger foreground) simply stares in tired frustration with her brows angled downwards.
A text box that reads “Later…” between the first and second images.
Second image -
Nyx (smaller background and shrugging): IDK how to remove the spell.
Sol (larger foreground with her hands together seeking clarity): What do you MEAN??
Third image -
Nyx (smaller background and belligerent with her arms crossed): Listen, I’d remove it if I could. You suck as a familiar.
Sol (larger foreground, rubbing her temples in anger and thinking to herself): I... HATE Magic users...

Middle row from left to right:

First image -
Nyx (smaller background with her left fist raised high in triumph and her right hand crackling with lightning magic): The night is still young! Let’s get out Demon Kill count to 100!
Sol (larger foreground, exhausted and disheveled): Pls make it stop...
Second image -
Nyx (smaller background and facing away from both sol and the viewer with her arms crossed): I don’t want to talk about it so DROP IT.
Sol (larger foreground, simply gripping the bridge of her nose and her eyes closed in continued frustration)
Third image -
Nyx (smaller background, and clearly badly injured with a guilty look on her face): I may have miscalculated...
Sol (larger foreground, incredulous concern): HOW??

Bottom Row from left to right:

First image -
Nyx (bigger foreground with a murderous closed mouth smile on her face, her eyes also closed in mock cheeriness. There is lightning magic crackling from her right hand and an arrow points to her with some text reading: Any time she catches sight of a Demon.)
Second image -
Sol (smaller background, with a confident smile on her face and her longsword slung over her right shoulder): Leave this fight to the BIG GIRLS.
Nyx (larger foreground, with an unimpressed look on her face at Sol’s arrogance and bombasity)
Third image -
Sol (smaller background, holding up two halves of her longsword, which has been broken in two): Hey so, I broke my sword. Could you magic it back together?
Nyx (larger foreground, an incredulous look on her face a both hands held forward in an expression that silently denotes “HOW??”)

A black and white sketch of Sol (left), seated and glancing over with a chuckle concealed behind her left hand at Nyx (right) who is looking directly at the viewer, similarly seated with her legs crossed along with her arms, her expression on of anger as lightning magic crackles around her head.

A series of black and white sketches of Sol and Nyx wandering about a large forest, foraging for food and making soup together in a small black cast iron cauldron in various encampments.

A series of black and white sketches of Sol sewing a warm fur lining into Nyx’s cloak while day dreaming about Nyx’s joyful gratitude and embracing her out of thanks until finally Sol shakes herself out of her daydreams. Followed by a bottom sketch where helps Nyx put on her new cloak while Nyx similarly daydreams about Sol tenderly kissing her on the forehead.

A series of black and white sketches of Sol and Nyx that could be read as a comic. Image one (left) Sol is standing with Nyx reading a book to her right. Sol is chattering idly with a word balloon indicating such with the caption “idea chatter” while she unconsciously reaches out with her right hand and gently strokes the side of Nyx’s face in what is labeled with a pin arrow a “tender touch.”

Image two Sol immediately pulls her hand away from Nyx’s face upon realizing what she is doing and looks away blushing. Nyx similarly stops reading and whips her head around to stare at Sol. A thought bubble emanates from Sol’s head in which she thinks to herself “Why do I keep doing that??” while a similar one flows from Nyx’s head that reads “Why does she keep doing that?”

A black and white sketch that follows from the previous one in the gallery. It depicts Nyx staring askance at a partially obscured Sol. Nyx is blushing but her expression reads as suppressed frustration while she thinks to herself through thought bubble “But more importantly... Why does she keep stopping??”

It's that time again!! Time for weekend sketches featuring my two demon hunting lesbians~

Nothing in colour this week, just black and white sketches. I'm still going through the backlog of what I had posted to Pillowfort before the whole site went into hibernation. A lot of these are fairly old (like, a few months lol) so the girls still look a bit off while I was trying to get a grasp of what I wanted them to look like.

They're just suffering through preliminary Big Emotions and Pining that comes before they get their emotional acts together.

Hope y'all have a lovely weekend~

A half body sketch of Sol facing 3/4’s towards the right with her arms crossed and her eyes mid roll while Nyx, who is shorter, behind her, and to the right, is shouting angry while staring at Sol, her right hand raised in an attempt to get the taller woman’s attention.

Sol and Nyx copying the pose of that one meme of those two women where one is reclined and the other is straddling her while applying makeup to the reclined woman’s face. Sol is the reclined woman and Nyx is the one doing the straddling and applying makeup to Sol’s face. They are both blushing and thinking at the same time ‘Why am I DOING THIS??”

Sol and Nyx copying that one meme of that taller woman lifting a shorter woman up and pinning her against a the wall so that the shorter woman’s feet do not touch the ground. Nyx is the shorter woman being lifted and pinned and is blushing furiously while she thinks the word “help.” Sol simply looks smug.

A relationship meme sheet for Sol (yellow-green) and Nyx (blue-purple) depicting their stats in their relationships. The template for this sheet was made by Twitter user Gibslythe.

Hello and welcome to the first instalment of Weekend Sketches!

I decided I want to start posting some of my fav sketches from in between work up here on my blog once a week. I used to do this on Pillowfort, but since that platform seems to be on indefinite hiatus I have to get my posting fix somehow.

What goes here is mostly what I feel can't be properly shown in my Portfolio, even in the Misc section. It's stuff like Fanart, or drawings for the ARPGs I'm a part of, or joke stuff using my original characters. Although some of these nicer ones might end up in the Misc section of my site.

For this week's batch of sketches I'm actually collecting some I had already posted to Pillowfort but felt would be nice to post here. It's mainly sketches of my characters Sol and Nyx, a Ranger and a Mage travelling through a world haunted by demons that terrorize the populace. As the last mage in her land, Nyx has tasked herself with the duty of killing all demons and Sol is just along for the ride as her battery and sword.

Also some bonus commissions I got done of my girls! The top two are by my friend Ames, and the bottom one is by Ieafy.

The only thing I deigned to post to Twitter for Hourly Comic Day 2/1/2021

Well here we are! I'm finally making a portfolio site with the added bonus of a blog so I don't feel completely isolated. There's been a lot of talk around, in particular on Twitter, about moving away from corporate social media and bring back personalized websites, blogs, and RSS feeds.

I was moderately on this tip since I liked the idea of getting the hell away from Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr since 2018. I had grown to really like Pillowfort as a place to put my less finished art pieces, fanart, and sketches. But since Pillowfort has been running into some tech and security issues and upon writing this has been down for about a week, I decided to join the website train. I am a little embarrassed as this is my first proper "portfolio site." I'm one of those artists agents and editors decry for not having a site linked in my bio on Twitter haha. Well I would mainly use my webcomic's site as an example of my work since it shows a fairly wide breadth of my skills, but things are changing for that as well.

I'm on track to finishing my webomic, Star Trip, early next year and have been looking towards pivoting into illustrated novels, which means very soon Star Trip will not be a wide example of my range. I'll still be making comics of course, but limiting my output to smaller stuff such as graphic novels and self contained stories that go no longer than 200 pages along with the odd mini comic. No more 1000 page epics that take almost a decade to finish!

My desire to move towards illustrated novels is part of the reason why I wanted to make this website, besides the exodus from corporate microblogging. I hope to put finished short illustrated prose up on this site, which I feel is much better suited for long form posting.

I hope adding a Blog section to my website also deals with any withdrawal I might run into as I lessen my time on social media. As much as I want to keep my life more private I still feel some need to talk about myself to an audience. Having a blog that I can post to once every two weeks to a month should hopefully fill this void.

It might be nostalgia that has me going back to this type of internet existence. Rose tinted memories can always make things from our past seem so much lovelier than what they actually were. But I think this movement towards a more controlled, decentralized, and personalized internet is better than the hell we live with grappling against The Algorithm.
