TSM: Plot Outline

As you can see, I did this in three sittings.

I swear that I can actually write romance, it's just impossible to condense into bullet points without straight up writing dialog.

TSM: Outfits

The characters in The Scientific Method/TSM meet at a rewards show where the dress code is "formal but poorly enforced." Todio is wearing something sort of winter semi-formal, Elizabeth is...

Terranaut: Plot Outlining

I finally have something solid worked out for Terranaut's latter half! Sorry if it's incomprehensible in this form, but bullet points are honest to god the only method of writing plot that works fo...

Terranaut: Rough Pages 8

This is getting big enough that I might consider splitting it into book chapters. Page 32 here really feels like a chapter ending.

Bit of a rough conversation.

I'm getting a little better at distance model scuds! Also I'm now applying my cast body types that i decided on (20 pages in, but that's what rough pages are for). When in doubt, you can tell them ...

In classic me style now that I have committed to working on one short story, I am already thinking dreamily of the next one. In the vein of Terranaut and Airsled, I really want to do pre-space age ...

Terranaut: Rough Pages 5

I've had a lot of fun thinking about the weird, visceral reality of biotech. The emotional effect of smashing your phone is way different when it's full of almost the same kind of guts as you are.<...

My excuse for Chkbrr's eyes having no shine on them in the last three panels is that they are covered in a thin layer of dust. Also, ah.. the irony of Rzzt-tt complaining about Chkbrr throwing a ta...

Blue Dragon Lair

Blue dragons like to nest in and around rocks, and unlike gold dragons they prefer to live with only their partner and young kids. However, they are not usually territorial about local feeding grou...

Terranaut features my most relatable protagonist yet. Who HASN'T almost died trying to get photos of a cool bug, am I right?

Gold Dragon Lair

Sketches of what the nest (or lair, as gnomes will call it) of gold dragons looks like. Most gold dragons live in the dry and nearly rainless savanna, but flocks dwelling in wetter regions will wea...

Some basic sketches for the train in Terranaut. I still need to figure out what its literal guts look like... the twin engines have tanks of sugar fuel that are used to power the muscles of the pne...

OWO?? WHATS THIS??
