HEY! Have you read my comic, Kuro Shouri? It's a slow-burn action/fantasy about two high schoolers who are being hunted down by demons! If you like 90s style shonen, slow burn character relationships, and lots of martial arts and sword action, check it out!

A digital anime illustration. A woman in front has bloodied hands and is staring down at them with a pained expression. Two teenagers are behind her: one is looking into the darkness with determination, the other is looking back at him, worried. In the back is an older man reaching his hand toward the camera and summoning a dark power.

I spent my last 45 minutes drawing fluffy gay things. Time well spent 🥰

A digital sketch of two guys just being dudes. Also, they're gay. In all seriousness, they're hugging and staring into each others' eyes, and smiling.

Day 72 of posting art ‘til my hand is healed. A doodle I did right before Haru showed up in the comic. She’s still rocking her old personality (and a slightly outdated look), but it still makes me smile. She and Kakon are so funny around each other.

A digital sketch comic. A girl is excited to show up in her comic finally, and the boy is hoping she gets written out instead.

Just doodling for the remainder of my drawing time. I drew my boy. But not sure what else to draw lol. I have to build up my strength, so I have to think of something to take up the last 45 minutes...

What with there being only one more page needed, I feel comfortable announcing this:
Kuro Shouri will resume updates on December 5th!
Namicomi and Globalcomix will get a chunk of pages the following week, Dec. 12th.
I'm super excited to come back! It's been too long! 🥳

Hubby is gone right now, so his cat is very lonely. And since I'm the only one available, that means I get her brand of love: jumping on my belly at 2 AM, scratching my face...
...can hubby come back? lol I don't want this attention!

Huzzah! It’s my favorite, I had to draw it extra cute! 🥰

Well, here's hoping. Cons aren't super awesome here in Vermont either (unless you're a food vendor, I guess), but maybe we'll be lucky... 🥲

It's a fun idea! I'm happy that young me thought of it! 🥰

I forgot to mention, too: the palm rejection is TERRIBLE. If having the canvas moved/undo button pressed/etc etc is something that bothers you, that's something to look out for.
Otherwise, good luck finding something that suits your needs. 😊

I use an iPad Pro and honestly? I hate it. It's too sensitive, it makes the lines jaggy. Not to mention it's terrible for posture. The screen is too small too. I could go on and on. 🤬

Day 71 of posting art ‘til my hand is healed. I, uh, might have been excited for this line back in the day. 😅

Someone who's good at acting better get some tears going on the reunion page because I will scream otherwise 🤣

KIDDING.
