An older work, from a few years ago. I love the language of flowers and hate myself enough to include a bunch of them in my work... Some of the more complicated flowers my friends get to hear me complain about it 😩🫠

Two versions of this piece... Tbh I don't know which one I prefer. When I first sketched it out I did it with the intention of making it a sticker, this the white background, but I pushed it a bit farther and ended up with the black background version.

An oc who's a little fucky... He's psychic, can't enter hallowed ground, and carries his mother's skull with him like a comfort item.

I love taking my characters and giving them religiously inspired poses lol this is Damien, he is a heart surgeon. And also a necromancer, so things can get interesting in the OR

From a few years ago... When Layla was born, Damien did everything he could to make sure his Little Star was raised with love and support. He taught her piano and French, showered her with love, and made sure she knew he and her other dad would always support her.

Between my ACL repair surgery, caring for and losing our sweet fluffy boi, and me going back to work full time it's been just an exhausting few weeks. I don't have anything new to show yet, so here's a small glimpse into my process: pencil in sketchbook, digital sketch, and final piece

A few years back I finished my first longer comic project. Life got in the way of me finishing another one, but hopefully that'll change soon...

I'm of the opinion that necromancy is the highest form of romantic love. Oh, to give your mortal soul to bring back your lover...

Still not entirely satisfied with how this looks but it's been a while since I've posted anything... I've been trying to work on texture in my painting. Historically I'm not a painter, I'm an inker, so periodically I try to paint lol

Tbh I have no idea if this is the most recent version of this piece I am currently existing entirely on vibes and the nice things people tell me.

And a metric fuckton of caffeine.
