My Kickstarter for Beyond the Road launches in 2 days (Jan 28). I've been hesitating to say anything today about it in light of the recent news. It's been a consistently dark situation, but we've gotten to the point where we can't ignore the writing on the walls.

A "turning point" in my graphic novel, Beyond the Road.
Shortly after a flare-up, I attempted to hike the windy hills of Fort Ord in California. I was in survival mode, focusing on my feet when, due to Titan's chaos, I stopped to look up and only then saw the gorgeous landscape around me.

Needed a break from all this Kickstarter prep for Beyond the Road… Meet one of my OCs. Serra - a half-elf dragonic bloodline sorceress whose details I can’t currently pull from my tired brain. A traveler with a highborn past. Originally made for BG3. Hoping to player her in a D&D game one day.

I bought myself a manga inking kit (dip pen & nibs with test illustration cards) and decided to play a bit. It’s a lot easier to use than I remember! Or else muscle memory kicked in. 😄 I will note the included (deleter?) paper makes a huge difference. Less snagging and stray fibers in the pen…!

Here’s to 2025! I like seeing these collages from the art accounts I follow, so wanted to create one too. I was primarily working on Beyond the Road last year, but did do a couple of character illustrations (mostly for D&D 😍).
