Oh absolutely. There was a part that made me go “despite everything it’s still you,” and I really love that.

I think a lot about things that I draw the same even more now too haha

Fun is just, I unno, fun.

Two fantasy characters, a half elf and an elf, running. One is cheerfully saying “I told you a dungeon would be fun!” As the other asks “define fun” with a scowl.

Just announced at NYCC! A new Vertigo series from Grace and I about fandom, obsession... and parasocial chaos :)

the cover for Fanatic, a new series from DC vertigo by Hannah Templer and Grace Ellis. The cover depicts a woman cast half in shadow, looking back over her shoulder in a look of surprise as she is caught holding a shovel and wearing a tattered costume in a wooded area. The colors are in two tones of blue and red

Project Thread: #ProjectHex

Webcomic: Hex & Seal

❈ Fantasy BL + Mystery
❈ Who killed Hex's grandfather and why?
❈ The locals fear the spirits. The spirits fear people.
❈ Hex wants to mend what was broken.

❈ Will Hex find love..?
Or succumb to what the spirits warned him about?
#art #oc #ocSky

A promo collage for my webcomic, Hex & Seal.
The comic started as a left-handed art challenge but since my right arm is slowly getting better, guess I'll continue right-handed.

The main character is Hex, a modern day wizard with brown skin, chin-length red hair and a white leather coat.
The panels showcased feature Hex sitting on the floor of an unlit chicken coop, thinking about his embarrassing life decisions, then Hex reflected in the window of his grandfather's old house, and thirdly him looking over to the pasture where his one cow, Amoolet, looks back at him.
We also have an aerial shot of the farm along with the somewhat ominous notion: Even without a Whisperer everyone knew to stay away from the farm.
And finally we have Hex petting the cheeks of a cute white sheep which seems to smile just as widely as he is.

Vampire superpowers 🦇💕
#comics #oc #fullmoonpanic
(more vampire Miguel AU)

Vampire Miguel and Lucas, who is a werewolf, walking at night in a forest. Miguel says to Luc:
"Don't think you're the only one who can turn into a cool animal... I have that power too!"
"Marvel at my terrifying transformation!"

And then, while he laughs, he turns into a cloud of smoke.

Lucas is shocked!
Miguel has turned into a bat!
But he's super super small and fluffy and cute!

I also don’t say any of this as a bad thing. It’s fascinating to hear what gets someone to notice I drew a thing almost immediately.

It feels all too in line with the “I preferred you better when you were sad” thought process some folks have when it comes to relationships.

I have looked at work I drew back in high school and SURE ENOUGH I can see it even then.

Sage Spaulding @washoensis.bsky.social · 1d

A few months ago someone told me they could tell if I drew something even if I was trying to emulate a different style based on how I draw eyes.

And, yeah, I can see it too looking at past work. It’s wild that despite how much your work can change it still can stay the same.

It’s no longer keys I’m jingling. I’m shaking a can full of coins. Don’t make me bust out the sign spinning on this job market

It would be so cool and sexy if one of you would interview me.
