Here to post doodles and comics following the adventures of my sailor crew! Done in watercolours & markers, sometimes gouache. (my online activity is spotty at best!)

If you're hanging around here, you've probably made peace with the fact I mostly draw these sea-adjacent blokes & felines. I figured it's now or never; time only marches forward!
The navy duo: admiral & Taffy The fisherman duo: boatswain & captain The port stray: Rookie

Those suspenders will have to do some pretty heavy lifting if you want me involved!

Absolute perfection. The 1920's & 1930's were snazzy as heck!

Oh my God, this is one of my all-time favourite songs I know thanks to you! Must have listened to it hundreds of times, also on repeat. The way the volume goes up once the bombs hit the house is phenomenal. The animation, the art style, the fact it goes black before he reaches her hand. Masterpiece!

Better steer clear of any whaling ships, they might get confused. Speaking from experience!

Aw, I'm glad you think so ;__; I feel kinda guilty about it sometimes, but retiring from commissions has worked wonders for me!

'Ate' seems like a polite word for it, this guilty face has 'demolished a whole jar like there's no tomorrow' written all over it!

Seriously though, this is super sweet - both literally and figuratively <3

Thank you ;___; He was capable of being a good dad, but alcohol destroyed it all. Now I'm thankful for any of the positive memories I have

It's a classic, haha :D I once 'traded' with someone on DA, I still remember their username was tegame - and I went all out, full colouring, shading & background. They never drew me anything, just lived happily ever after. Didn't even have the balls to vanish!!!
