a halloween-y painting from last year, "Headless Horseman (American Icon)". i have yet to have a headless horseman in a comic even though they are one of my favorite flavors of ghost and allegedly i'm related to one. maybe later

a painting of a headless horseman riding on a black horse, a plume of flame rising from his empty neck.

a close-up of the horseman. sparks fly from his fire.

Hi everyone!

I launched my Kickstarter campaign for A Great & Terrible today. I’m super excited (also terrified).

If you enjoy the #wizardofoz or frankly anything fantasy/adventure this might be for you! I hope you’ll back it, or give it a share.

So.

We've been denied financial aid, and the surgery is not being considered "emergent" thus no bypassing pre-payment. Which means we HAVE to pay on the date of surgery, which is later this month.

I'm going to be offering these portraits for anyone donating $50+ to the gofundme, details below

oh man i love a dullahan!! long story short one of my ancestors was an Irish lord/outlaw (long story), and at the end of it he was murdered by his brother for the English, decapitated, and his head was mounted on a pike as a lesson. undeterred, he rises from the dead to ride around looking for it!

🌹 A Rose by Any Other Name. An MM inktober comic. A victorian gentleman falls in love with the portrait of a medieval knight. The gentleman summons the knight's ghost for a dance, but gifts him something far more precious. 🖤

nooskadraws.gumroad.com/l/UuKm

An inked page from my old inktober comic. It has 3 panels.
1. A close up of the gentleman and knight smiling.
Gutter: Knight says "He is my secret and all that I hold dear."
2. The gentleman and knight hold hands as they walk down the hall.
Knight: "It has been too long since I danced!"
Gentleman, mutters fondly with a smile: "I hope I am not a disastrous partner!"
3. The Knight and Gentleman keep talking as they make their way through the corridor, past framed portraits and framed landscapes.

An inked page from my old inktober comic. It has 5 panels.
1. Unlit candles in a candelabra.
2. The Gentleman reaches out for the Knight with a wide smile.
3. Framed portraits, and the Knight's ghostly tendrils swirl.
Knight: "Oh!"
4. A vase of flowers, a bust of an unnamed noble. Music notes begin to drift across the panel.
Knight: "I hear music!"
Gentleman: "Isn't it wonderful?"
5. The Knight and the Gentleman stand next to each other before a closed door. The Gentleman rests his hand on the Knight's shoulder. Music drifts from the door.
Gentleman: "Hmm." "It appears as though they started the party without us."
