Finally got my good Nikon out and got some pictures of Moxxie. He’s a very photogenic guy. You wouldn’t guess he’s chaos incarnate.
…okay, I’m exaggerating. He’s just got terrifying stores of Puppy Energy and I think it overwhelms everyone else in the house.

My favorite version of Batgirl! The Batman is a very underrated show.
Hey Folks,
As I clean up my office today, I happened across a bit of a flashback to my days on "The Batman" with my pals Jeff Matsuda and Jose Lopez.
I had great fun doing expression drawings for Jeff's take on Batgirl.
Cheers!

My little fella is already growing so much. A lot of things haven’t been easy lately, but I’m so grateful for this pup.

In the Path novel, one of the important side characters is Dalton Stormsteel, who runs a crime syndicate— er, respectable business in the Emejre Enclave. He’s very clearly got his own agenda which leads him to get involved with the MCs. Imagine a gentleman thief running the mob.
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
Do you have any side characters with their own adventures going on in the background of your story?
Do we get many glimpses?
Is it in the same genre as your main work? E.g. romance in the background of horror?

This is especially galling when you consider there is *literally* a group of early science fiction fans called First Fandom.
That formed in the late 1950s.
And those folks were making and sending out fanzines as early as the 1920s.

just saw someone on tumblr describe HP as “the first fandom” like. I know you people are desperate to keep funding a transphobe bc the thought of reading any other book is too hard for you but this is housewives writing kirk/spock fanfic in carefully xerox’d fanzines erasure and I won’t stand for it

What if there was a Hazbin Hotel comic series and I got to do the covers for it?
Imagine that. I'm imagining it. It's nice!

Moxxie after his first major training session. He’s smart, but the Keeshond stubbornness is real, you guys.
But he’s such a sweetheart, I don’t mind all that much.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness ✨
For me, it’s my characters Kimber and Telara. I’m really pleased with how they’ve developed over time, and their relationship brings me so much joy to write.
