Finished this today, super good! Loved how many panels were absent of dialogue just letting you experience the scenery as the characters did, very contemplative in spots.
The physical book itself is great too, high quality printing/pages and a fantastic cover. It's clear a lot of love went into it

Running low on copies of Gardener, my big weird space western, so I’m doing a bit of a sale for it. Use code BIGGARDENERSALE on the site for 30% off, but only until next week!
If you like slow-burn, character driven sci-fi, this one’s for you. And it just so happens to be a big fancy hardcover too

Last call to get Gardener on sale! Use code BIGGARDENERSALE for 30% off while you still can. Here’s the pages introducing Jacob and Goo Man. Someday I’ll revisit this world as a ttrpg campaign setting, but my perfect ideal scenario would be an original Fallout-style isometric crpg. I can dream!

The Nausicaä print that kicked off my monthly riso print thing, before I had the foresight to add a border. Maybe I’ll have to revisit it for a future month, but in the mean time I’ve got something else more fall-themed in the works for this month instead

The wolf princess, a companion piece to my other Princess Mononoke print.
This one’s not part of the monthly print sub, but you can grab one from the site along with the Ashitaka print

Almost forgot to say thank you to everyone who backed Those That Inherit the Earth! Very excited to draw more trees and this opossum over and over again
And if you missed out, too bad - it’ll be available in the shop eventually

Chickens in the Garden - a little bit of a harvest theme for this month’s riso print
I grew up having chickens and if I ever end up having a yard again I will most certainly have more. Wherever this is, I want to live there

24 hours left to back! Sooo close to that last stretch goal, who doesn’t want an extra section of lore from the perspective an extradimensional being.
I’m sure it’ll all be totally unbiased and objective observations since he’s not a bad guy, right?

Crashed satellites, nascent termite-people, and crystal growth abound in one of the new stories. Only a few hours left to back the book!
This panel will take me approximately thirty years to color, but I can’t help showing it as is

Last 48 hours to back Those That Inherit the Earth, can we close it out on 800 backers?
Revisiting the peaceful little forest the opossum calls home for a few new pages too, meaning the book’s sitting at over 160 pages of story now

This is such a good story. Since I have all of the zines (starting with the miscolored 1st print of #1) I was going to pass on this hardcover collection but I really don’t want to miss out on the added bits…

Yes of course there’s giant guinea pigs, but what I haven’t mentioned much about Those That Inherit the Earth is the whale-people.
Very much looking forward to showing a bit more of what their deal is and delving into the more post-human aspects of the story
