I made a proof of concept for a webtoon some time ago, in order to prevent it becoming lost media, I'll post some of the promotional images I made for it, along with the logo.

"600... STRIKE!"

Birthday gift for a friend who wanted me to draw her design for Odysseus. I decided to make it a little extra special by drawing the scene from 600 strike.

Unless I'm missing something, and I'm pretty sure I'm not, Twitter's AI is cranking out CSAM deepfakes, Elon Musk is making jokes about it, and nobody is doing anything to stop it or hold anyone at Twitter accountable for its creation and distribution.

Is that right?

I feel like Trump is jealous of Obama for taking out Bin Laden. He wants his own heavily publicized victory against a monstrous enemy of the people who killed huge numbers of U.S. citizens.

More than oil or anything else he wants the optics of quickly and (for us) painlessly taking out an "enemy".

If Maduro is in custody my expectation is the admin will try to hold Dumb Nuremberg. They'll make it a judicial referendum on fentanyl and try to blame Maduro for the deaths from the opiate crisis.

New Year, new beginnings!

In 2026, I plan to complete Sam Shifter's first volume and share it with the world. I already have a "pilot" issue completed that I will be uploading soon!

EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS NEEDED

My mom and I need help

My mom owes $1500 or her car will be repossessed next Wednesday if we don't get the money by then, so if any of you are able to help, that'd be great

I am not dead! I haven't been active in a few months, and I apologize for that!

This right here is Hip-Hop, a frog/rabbit hybrid transformation that my superhero character, Sam Shifter, can turn into at will.

It has nearly been a full decade since @jordancollver.bsky.social and I made this comic for the @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social anthology.
I think it was a delayed response to Man of Steel.
A sepia tone comic about a boy growing up. First witnessing a superhero as a boy and eventually meeting them when they grow up to become the first man on mars

So i was drawing pages for an upcoming webtoon project, and my friends all said that this panel of Kim looks like the absolute cinema meme, and now I can't unsee it.
