Oh hey, it's been a minute since I've done some shameless self promotion, hasn't it?

In any case, here's a link to join my mailing list and get a free short story, a prequel to my swashbuckling clockpunk mecha novel, THE CATAPHRACT OATH.

Check it out!

Saw there was some excitement about people discussing the likely Brazilian influences on Samus and Metroid. So I knew what I had to draw (with some design input from a Brazilian friend).
Brazilian Samus. She's wearing running shoes based on her usual suit shoes, sporty red and orang shorts, a Brazilian jersey of some sort as a t-shirt, and has brown roots growing in for her dyed blonde hair. Also: muscles. Definitely has some muscles.

The image depicts a comic. Panel one shows the main character lying in bed with a heating pad. Panel two shows the same image, but now a cat has appeared on the heating pad. Panel three shows the same image, but a second cat has appeared alongside the first on the heating pad. Panel four shows the same image with two cats on the heating pad, one dropping from the ceiling, and one entering through the window.
