no art in this post, but i’d like to share a little about how i organize files! (i’ve intentionally kept this on one image so you can easily save it on your desktop, or repost elsewhere; just keep the signature if you do.)

I started the “Artchives” folder back in college a decade ago when I needed one place to dump every final work i drew, whether it be taking pictures of a sketchbook, screenshots to the now-deleted twitter, or meme-art to share to friends. it’s been a wonderful way to have an organized set of yearly time capsules for my work, and to track improvements over time. if I remember vaguely what season and what year I drew something, it also makes it very easy to hunt for old art.

The $kradeelav (root folder for projects) system was actually borrowed from my dayjob’s server, naming scheme and all. (I manage an international household-name brand at work, with a need to organize tons of mini-projects within). when i started doing larger and more ambitious zines, comic projects, and freelance work – this is a secondary system that helps to house these in a similarly-ordered set of folders without invoices and reference images and who knows what else getting absolutely blasted all over my desktop.  usually i’ll have 2-3 active projects going on at one time, with the folders on the desktop; they get moved into this root folder when they’re closed.

happy to answer questions about these!

i spent about a month in april 2023 thinking i was gonna do gamedev (lol) but i did make this in blockbench! :D

two works I did for the 'hellsing mini exchange

life has a funny way of showing opposites to makube. made for valentinesister in the 2023 mini #hellsing exchange on Ao3


+ anderson/maxwell for the hellsing exchange round 2 ~

quasi-test comm for a bud, finished ~ :3 i genuinely love drawing self inserts, these two were a BALL of fun. #fegen


+ later sketch gift of the same characters:

After Sothe narrowly misses death by Tibarn’s talons (and Micaiah’s orders), he offers a lie to the one he loves most. Sometimes lies are easier than the truth, after all.

(or are they?)

2022 #fetellius nagamas gift for seasaltmemories 🙂 crossposted on Ao3

plowed through a bunch of amazing sanaki/sephiran fics recently and remembered why i loved these two so much…

also remembered my fondness for the Kiesha‘ra Series and how the shapeshifters and magic system there gives me SO many heron magic headcanons and this happened. god i need to reread those.
#fetellius

joining in canon x oc week which made me get off my arse and actually nail down my avatar-stand in for tellius. 😛 turns out designing with the mindset of ‘can you tell the characters apart if they were in gloriously polygonal n64/gamecube graphics’ is a good philosophy.



plus a contribution to canon x oc week that i redrew from last jan ~ longer privateish-locked dreamwidth about it here

#original leather-ish self-somethin'

having a lot of fun going completely rainbow lisa frank ham on this one.

if I had one piece of advice for younger artists: find your muse. find that thing you’d obsessively draw even if no one saw your work; where it’s almost not even a choice, it’s a calling. (doesn’t matter how embarrassing you think it is)

platforms, trends, friends, audiences, and fandoms all come and go with life, but if there’s that as a lodestone, you’ll be all right.
#zihark

i had the absolutely brilliant idea of doing a whump spread based off of how much HP #zihark had and uh yeah

yeah
#fetellius i guess

FALKE - 2022 is an #original comic that JD wrote and I drew. physical & digital copies are still available to buy on itch.io

we had been talking about making something like this for a while. tl;dr of the …. plot … is a beautiful man killin’ nazis messily. not a bad zine at all to pick up these days.

Not gonna lie, the recent book-banning culture zeitgeist was a big motivation for both of us; we’ve both been hit directly and indirectly by pressure and harassment to make “safer” creations (JD moreso than me), and wanted to push back on that idea, especially as persons that are typically targeted during fascist regimes.

It’s still one of the creations I’m proudest of, not only of last year and the chaos during multiple eye surgeries but in terms of my whole creative career and pushing me to the envelope craft-and-thematic-wise. JD was a darling to work with; the absolute best kind of zine co-collaborator and writer one could ask for, and is in the process of making more.

delightful #hellsing nonsense plus the 2022 holiday card to the doujin circle.




last photoshop drawing i did before switching to krita in 2023

people have done some pretty good expression tutorials but nothing quite as macro as “power”

#original FALKE work in progress shots done after the first round of cataracts surgery in may 2022. FALKE was a zine that JD Riley commissioned me to draw, and was stoked to get drawing again. nsfw under the cut

valter/erika, NSFW #fegen full image under the cut
was not expecting this to go in a pulp magazine direction but this was genuinely so much fun to see click together aesthetically. pulp, after all, has some wild deranged shit in it.

i wish valter fans a very smug (belated) voting gauntlet success : P
