Hank is a nervous cat who is trying to fit in with his classmates in wizard school, especially the most popular student, Jack. Will Hank be able to perfect his spells and tricks before the big talent show?

I recently found a site called Comix Cleric, which is a web toolkit meant to help make your own comic website. As someone who is trying to make a comic series, this is cool! I just backed up this project, hoping for the best!

I feel like it can be a bit hard to start a big project. But I promised myself that I would make something big. Here are some characters that I have had for a while now, but I'm now putting them into a story.

A couple of sketches for some characters that I made for a comic.

Alright, with the DLC around the corner, I decided to make this fun fanart of the gang rising on a boat. Hornet and Sherma are having the time of their lives, Lace... not so much.

#silksong #hollowkight #hype #boatgang
Fanart of Hortnet, Lace, and Sherma from Hollow Knight Silksong. Hornet is on the front of a ship, with her nail raised up on one hand a map in the other, looking determined. Lace is currently on the side of the ship, very seasick. Sherma is using his music to help comfort the seasick lace. The words, BOAT GANG, are hovering above the gang.

Working on a 2-part video on artist alley advice, made a lil' flowchart on how I interact with customers!

I've seen a lot of conflicting advice on how much you should interact with customers- this is my happy medium that generally works well!

Nothin else for it
Two panel comic of a person with glasses looking down at an open book. First panel reads: I think I might be bad at this. In the second panel they are scribbling in the book with a pencil. Text reads: I’m gonna do it anyway

Made a fun animation loop of a hunter chasing after some prey.

I actually use the body plan of one of the bosses from Hollow Knight Silksong as a reference, Gurr the Outcast. I am having a lot of fun making these animations.

Title: "Pharloom Demon Hunters"
Date: 10/2/2025
Medium: Paper and Pencil

I am currently hyper fixated on two things, Hollow Knight: Silksong, and KPOP Demon Hunters. So I thought, hey, it'd be cool to mash them up.

Title: "Mimic Trouble"
Date: 9/2/2025
Medium: Paper and Pencil

For some reason I thought it would be funny to have all these three characters meeting up

#art #sketch #artdump #chilchuck #frieren #mimic #dungeonmenshi #frierenbeyondjourneysend #fivenightsatfreddys #fnaf #secretofthemimic #mashup
Chilchuck, from Delicious in Dungeon, and Frieren from Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, talking about their experiences with mimics. Meanwhile, the mimic from Secret of the Mimic is casually sneaking up from behind them.

Title: "No Mayhem, No Glory"
Date: 9/1/2025

Every now and then I like to create a little drawing to combat burnout, like combining two characters together.

01: There is a woman facing you with a confident expression. She has blond hair, messy twin pigtails, a small angel wing coming off the right side of her head, and a devil horn coming off the left. She has a big angel wing coming off the left side of her back, and a devil wing coming off the right. Her right eye is teal and has an 'X' pattern on the pupil, whereas her right eye is indigo and has a circle pattern on the pupil. She wears a pink neckerchief, and a tight sleeveless top that's blue on the top half and dark purple on the bottom. She also has disconnected sleeves, so her shoulders are still visible. She says "HEY!! It's ME, you're OLD OC. Haven't drawn ME in a while, HAVE YA'?" 02: She puts up her hands in front of her, as if you say 'stop it'. She has big, robotic hands. She says "No no, IT'S OKAY! Let's be real, my design is pretty amateurish HAHA" 03: She turns a bit to the side, and adopts a more sympathetic expression, but keeps looking you in the eyes. She says "But I want you to know that I've been there all this time. I've watched you grow. And you've grown SO much." 04: Closeup of her face as her confident expression returns. She tilts her head and gives you a wink. "Proud of ya', kid."

We use the word “palaeoART”… but the vast majority of the genre is actually palaeo-illustration. Emily is one of the (too few, imho) practitioners whose work transcends into art, in the truest sense, whilst never losing its scientific foundations.

Utterly brilliant.

LAUNCH DAY!!! Nyaegling is now available!!! 🙏 Please share OwO nyaegling.carrd.co

(If you saw this on my Etsy before today NO YOU DIDN'T).
a hastily drawn but still appealing promo comic. There are two panels. In the top panel, Bex and her pal Richard smile at the camera. Richard waves while Bex holds up a copy of their comic. Bex says, "I've been working my ass off for most of the last year on a brand new comic! It was written by one of my best friends, Richard Bass, and drawn by me!" Richard says, "hello!" In the second panel, Bex is crying drawing at her desk. She wails, "How the heck do I draw an explosion???" Future Bex puts a hand on the bakc of her chair and says towards the camera, "I honestly think it's the best comic art I've ever drawn. I had to learn a lot of new things for this and I think it paid off." A close-up panel of Bex with her hands clapped together. She smiles into the camera and says, "So I really really really really really want people to read it!!!" An even more close-up close-up shot of Bex. She looks a little bit crazy-eyed and scary. She says, "I'm serious. Please read this." A shepherd's crook appears around her neck. The last panel is very small, a zoomed out shot of Richard dragging Bex away with the shepherd's crook. She yells, "I worked so hard on it!!! pleeeeeeease!" while Richard says "OK, grandma, let's get you to bed."

With all due respect to Gareth, this is bullshit.

If Prehistoric Planet and DeadSound’s Dinosauria and Sauria shorts are any indication, people still love dinosaurs. We just need new, younger talent to tell newer, more creative stories about them.

There's a lot of folks who are afraid to start their webcomics because they don't want it to look 'ugly' or don't know if they're ready yet" but...
You just need to draw it and have something ugly and potentially 'not ready'
That's the secret to starting a webcomic!

Well, Charog would love to show off his wings, but...
He's stuck.

Hey y'all!
Hank wanted to wish you all a Happy Pride Month!!!
This month is all inclusivity and acceptance, and I think a little bit of that can go a long way, no matter who someone is, who they like, or what pronouns they use.
