Caught in a Storm

I had a sudden surge of inspiration last week with a character piece of Arlo standing in the city at night looking somber / melancholy / etc. I wanted to try more experimentation with composition, ...

Not the real dialogue

I apologize for the lack of updates over the last 1-2 weeks, as I've been making preparations for an upcoming announcement regarding the comic. I've had to make some very important decisions after ...

She's got a plan

Another part of a page I sketched out. I think I'm starting to get the hang of drawing Daphne. Hopefully I can hold that pattern and keep doing it! The grey toned Daphne above is pretty darn close ...

Back at it!

After a long last week, I'm back at it and Daphne is um.... her nerves are getting shot. Can you guess why? Let's just say she's used to winning. XD Here's some new cleaned up sketches from tonight...

A birthday surprise :3

A few weeks ago, my 8 year old niece texted me (yes she has a phone... for reasons) asking me to draw her and her brother (5 years old) as a cat. She's aware I make a lot of art and has asked me th...

Before and Afters

Since posting the dirty sketches, I wanted to show what it looks like in cleanup. I will admit, sometimes a bit of the gesture (even expression) is lost in the cleanups. This can be due to constrai...

MOAR SCRIBBLES!

As a slight contrast to my last post, I'm still uh... giving you a page, but a bit sloppier! I hammered this out last night and will be grinding away doing the more polished illustrations. I will a...

The work continues

I know it's a little rare for me to upload a full page at this level of finish, but I felt I owed my patrons that. I must be careful not to reveal anything big cause I want it to be a surprise! How...

Part of this balanced breakfast!

This was a patron commission for someone wanting to see Enzo on a sugar high. I sort of took this further than expected based on the subject matter because I found it hilarious lol. What better way...

A bit of experimentation

Professor Watts will be making his debut in the next big scene of Volume 2! (finally). He's not just an eccentric zany teacher, but also Enzo's mentor too. Smart guy, dorky as hell, but with a hear...

Cashmere Sky Project Update #10

After many months, I've released my first update well into Volume 2! There's a lot to talk about and some new surprises! (maybe hehe) This video is unlisted and exclusive for patrons for the next f...

Let's get the science done!

As another update, I've finally reached a scene in the comic that I've been thinking about for years! I hope I can land the scene the way I've thought of it! Yes, I've finally gone 3D (for some thi...

Cashmere Sky.....after dark......?

It's time to back away from the computer... very slowly. When I get tired or bogged down... my hand starts doing terrible things to my characters. I don't know what happened. This scene turned from...

Teen Girl Squad!

So aside from the Homestar Runner joke in the title, Daphne's debut has started! From left to right (first image), we have Karen, Daphne, and Amber. This trio is a bit of the popular bunch in schoo...

A fresh year, a fresh website (and more)

Hello again! I know the events of 2021 are a bit crazy so far and hope everyone is staying safe during the pandemic, but at least I can present you all an upgraded and fresher website! I just reali...

School is in session

Welp.... as I've tried to dedicate myself in Volume 2 to making more establishing shots and expanding the world, I thought it would be important to show Enzo's school (and previously Arlo's since h...

Expression Time

I probably should've waited until I did more design work with her, but I went and added 9 expression and played with some small design cues. I may change her hairstyle a bit, along with the eyes. T...

Making her introductions

As I wrap up another section of the story, a new character is FINALLY getting introduced.... Daphne Goodwin. She was actually one of the first characters I ever drew, way back in 2014. If you notic...

Kitty City :3

What you're seeing is the VERY early stages of this shot. Establishing shots are critically important in story telling, and while I've been trying to build my characters, building the world can be ...

Late for school?

Following up from my last post, I thought I'd share some of the latest renders. I'm trying new experiments with lighting, color, and values to see if I can capture that "early morning" vibe to the ...

Flats to renders

I just wanted to give a quick update! This particular scene is only 2 pages, but even flats... like a simple coloring book can be time consuming and quite a doozy. When you add more detail... the c...

A sketch collage

Just wanted to throw up a batch of sketches again. Some are older (you might have seen), and a few new. I do this sometimes to get a perspective of the design language of the book so far, and if my...

The differences in planning shots

As another post for my patrons, I wanted to outline something that I've been trying hard to work on in visual storytelling. The shots above are from a new page in the early rough processes. The cha...

Some Holly and Enzo sketches

As I've finished the last scene, I'm entering a new one. This is the first attempt at Enzo and Holly's new Volume 2 designs. I feel these are still rough, but as with anything, I should get better ...

Let the rendering begin!

Pages are drawn, lined, and colored... but now rendering. Here's the first peak of renders of the next 8 pages. I wanted to go for a colder themed pallet for the jail cell. Colors can tell a story ...

Just look at that mug....... shot.

Welp, to give you a bit more insight to how Volume 2 is kicking off.... I'll just come clean. Here's a little mugshot for you. I think it explains itself lol.

Some backend web updates

As some may or may not know, web design is sort of my trade. I recently ran an all new (and much more modern) backend on the comic section of the website since it has its own sub-domain. I kept eve...

The sketch process

I've been trying to get back into a habit that has seriously helped me in the past. Maybe it was due to laziness or the fear of a bad drawing, but I forced myself anyway.
