Cover art for Pirated Code. It shows Dex asleep in his pilot's chair while Seren curses at him from a computer screen. Cover art for Fetch Quest. It shows Flora, Connor, Todd, and Dan standing in a medieval town. Flora is throwing a D20 towards the camera. Cover art for Red-Handed Robin. It shows Jay, Robin, and Wren laying on a wooden floor. Their faces are obscured by X's and Robin's hands are tied with a red ribbon. Cover art for The Scarecrow Knight. It shows a young Corbin standing in a dilapidated building and glaring at the camera.

Use the materials you're hoarding.
Use that cute pen, the fancy tape, one of the 40 notebooks.
Draw with those alcohol markers before they dry up.

Art materials are meant to be used, not gather dusts.

"I'm afraid to waste it." Time spent using them = experience. And experience is never wasted.

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED!

It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st!

hourlycomicsday.com

#hourlycomicsday #hourlycomicday #hcd
"IN OBSERVANCE & SOLIDARITY". Two black speech bubbles with white text read "HOURLY COMICS DAY IS NOW ON FEB 8TH. CARTOONISTS HONOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. FEB 1 - MAR 1". There is an illustration of a black silhouetted hand raised and holding a pen in the top right, and an illustration of a nib pen and an ink well personified on the bottom right. The nib and ink are bumping fists. A URL at the bottom is "hourlycomicsday.com".

I don't have much to show yet, but I've got some exciting things in the works for the upcoming remake of Red-Handed Robin! It's gonna be a familiar but new ride on the Whirlwind Express.

#RedHandedRobinRedux #VNDev #Otome
A meme comic of some characters from my visual novel Red-Handed Robin. In the first panel, Robin says "I have done nothing wrong, ever, in my life." In the second panel, Wren points at Robin and says "I know this, and I love you."

A coloured pencil illustration of a fox dragon with bird wings, who's napping on the forest floor. Its tongue sticks out, it's crossing its legs so you can't say which is where (front paws in back, back paws in front) and it's sleeping so soundly that several (4) sparrows are hanging out around it unbothered. One of them is even pulling fur from its mane!

Fetch Quest Remastered, an updated version of my comedy/otome VN about a TTRPG session gone wrong is coming out later this year!

It's longer, has new art/CGs/UI, and a new "true" end that leads into a sequel (also releasing soon!)

Wishlist it now on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2553660/
A screenshot of Connor, Dan, and Todd wearing fantasy outfits and standing in a medieval tavern. In the textbox, Flora says "I rolled an 18. That's pretty good, right?" A screenshot of a zoomed in CG. Wrapped in a red cloak, Flora rests her head on Connor's shoulder. She is looking up at him and blushing. In the textbox, she says "Huh...?" A screenshot showing Todd smiling smugly while some random villagers look on. In the textbox, Todd says "Eh-hem. Well then, perhaps you've wondered 'Is it possible to perform magic while also playing kazoo?'" A screenshot showing a player choice. In the textbox, Flora says "If connor doesn't see me stealing, it should be fine, right?". The choices presented are "Roll a perception check." and "It's too risky."

Rpgmaker.net coming back online is very significant, as a whole generation of 2000s and 2010s indie games was contextless and nearly lost without it.

It's wonderful to see it back in action. Hopefully to stay!

Since it's a bad winter storm day, I thought I'd publish this one a day early. If you're stuck inside, like me, I hope this helps you get through the day, one stitch at a time.

Stay safe out there.
