Congrats and happy book birthday!

Today I’ve been working on the cover image for my new WIP, Midnight Grounds, which I’m planning to release on #webtoon this fall! This is a redo of a sketch I did a few months ago and it’s wild to see how much my drawing has improved since then.

THE PRINCESS IN BLACK X SAILOR MOON With a monsterfied cousin rampaging through town and evil villains lurking in the shadows, there’s only one thing for a MagiChef to do — Grab her talking corgi, magic spatula, and… Make Some Culinary Magic! #QuestPit #CH #GN #Q

Art school was tough before the vampire tried to kill Edie. Now? It sucks. Armed only with a makeshift vampire hunting kit, Edie must try to survive freshman year.

Oh, and… figure out if she can trust the hot Vampire Barista that got her into this mess.

the movie poster is so fun!

Agree with Katrin, I think so many kids want to be influencers, showing them the not so glamorous parts is great

Kristin @stuffbykristin.bsky.social · Aug 6

ooh, i love the drama!

Oh, I love the imagery of the diner already

Can’t believe I made this that long ago! It was for some sort of 8-bit gallery show out in LA

I was shuffling some stuff around and found a Final Fantasy art piece that @stuffbykristin.bsky.social made back in 2013 and still love it as much as ever!

As I’ve been drawing Edie, the MC of my current WIP, who has long flowing hair, I wonder if I should give the MC of Motor Solstice long hair too. It’s just fun to draw and so convenient for filling up large parts of empty space in the panel so I don’t have to draw as many backgrounds 😂

Kristin @stuffbykristin.bsky.social · May 22

I’m finally starting to hone in on my “YA” style, more for my current WIP, but also for Motor Solstice. I’m letting querying play out on the current version, but hope to revise it when I’m feeling more confident. Anyway, here’s a doodle I did this morning:

Cats make everything better, I think. More character sketches for Luc and his cat Renfield from my WIP #webcomic

Why does Siri auto-categorize Drano as a beverage in grocery lists 😱 c’mon Apple!!!

Kristin @stuffbykristin.bsky.social · Mar 21

Thank you!! I really appreciate the encouragement!!

I am not doing so great at being consistent posting hah but have been quietly working on my new #comic that I am planning to release on #webtoon

This is WIP, I’m trying to nail down the style. I really need to draw a background in all that white space but I don’t wanna 😭

Yeah it’s been great for my comic stuff, way better than doing it in procreate hah!
