FINAL FINISHED COVER REVEAL (unless I decide to tweak it after I see the test print) of But Is It "Art"?, my new 32-page illustration collection! I'm so glad I took a chance and tried digitally painting that inset, that's exactly the look I wanted and I didn't think I'd be able to pull it off.

This book (and THREE others!) can be preordered at my Ko-Fi shop, where you can get 25% off your cart with coupon code YESPLEASE or by following this link—sale ends THIS SUNDAY, 3/31!

Janky scribble of an idea, a Darkwing AU if you will, that's been bouncing in my head for a while

Something I'm sure I'm not the first to think of

Anyway, let's imagine for a second this scene

Only instead of QuackerJack disappearing before Darkwing gets to the ground floor... He konks his head hard enough to get retrograde amnesia, particularly of the sort that's depicted in cartoons anyway.

QuackerJack gets amnesia and has no recollection of the moments between when he "snapped" at QuackWerks and when he hit the pavement from that fall. His memories of rebelling against QuackWerks, kidnapping Megavolt, blowing up toy warehouses, going ballistic on that Crimebot, attacking the Whiffle Boy Entertainment office, turning people into dolls... That's all been seemingly wiped from his memory.

Of course, he's aware of the events at some point, as someone may have tried to pry and test the authenticity of the injury (cough Darkwing cough), and certainly, "Jacky" is quite appalled that he'd been capable of such behavior (particularly the surveillance footage that exists of him throttling that Crimebot with his bare hands *this detail note exists in the retail copy of "Toy With Me", not the DDE version*), but he honestly cannot remember a thing about it.

As he kinda suffered a blunt-force-trauma impact blow to the head from that fall (as well as a few other injuries that comes with smashing through a window from an upper story floor), he needed time for recovery before anything could be decided as to how (or if) he was going to serve the rest of his time in the St. Canard Penitentiary (y'know, because technically he still didn't finish his time, as he kinda broke out).

During this recovery, Claire stops by for a visit, and brings along a familiar friendly face.

It's Mr. Banana Brain! All patched up, looking better, and happy to see Jacky too! It turns out that Claire found him online and did everything she could to win that auction, so that these two pals could be reunited again.

Well, it seems that whenever Jacky can be free to go, he can go back to live with Claire, and this time, Mr. Banana Brain is safe and will be waiting for him as well when he's been released.

Maybe his missing memory comes back, maybe it doesn't. The important thing is that QuackerJack is in a loving environment, and he knows that he must mean a lot to a special someone who did everything in her power to get him back.

So... AU where QuackerJack didn't turn himself into a doll, he and Claire stay together, Mr. Banana Brain is okay and back with QuackerJack, and they all lived happily ever after.

Some progress on the cover of But Is It "Art"?, now up for preorder!

I'd been planning to do the painting in watercolor, but when I brought the sketch into Clip Studio Paint to figure out my color choices, I impulsively started digitally painting it instead. It wound up being a lot of fun!

You can get this book or anything else in my shop for 25% off through 3/31! Follow this link or enter coupon code YESPLEASE at checkout.

It'll be part of the anthology Always The Same Story, 28 short comics by 28 teams in a variety of genres and styles, all with the theme of "forgetting"! To the best of my knowledge, a PDF copy of the original Crimebot story (Officer Crimebot & The Threatening Texts) is part of the Digital Bundle reward too!

Check out the campaign here

I'm usually pretty normal about drawing my OCs (I just don't do it often unless I'm concept designing), but I'm working on Officer Crimebot sketches for a thing and OMG every corner of my brain is lighting up. He's so big and sweet and stupid and I love him so much

(you can read his story online for free here, pick up a print copy here, or pick up a PDF anthology featuring his story and others here)

#he is ALSO going to be drawn wearing a Hawaiian shirt XD #good stuff #officer crimebot

#ThrowbackSunday or something to a 2018 comic I'm still very happy with, Officer Crimebot and the Threatening Texts!

The full story can be read online here (or purchased as a single issue or in the Shaped Like A Friend anthology if you're into that sort of thing)—

but the only way to get a BEACH EPISODE epilogue is by supporting the Always The Same Story anthology in Kickstarter!

Always The Same Story is a unique anthology with 28 creative teams spinning 28 one-page stories with wildly different takes on the central theme, "forgetting"! If you don't like me, hey, you can just skip over my story and still get 27 others! XD

The campaign has UNDER TWO WEEKS left and is only at the 37% mark! If it doesn't hit 100% by September 7, it won't be made! Every pledge really DOES count!

You can check out the campaign here. Pledges and signal boosts appreciated, and thanks for reading!

I don’t think I ever posted this in full, so here’s “Officer Crimebot and the Threatening Texts,” a short story I did for fun in 2018.  I’m still really happy with the designs and color work (thank you again @fireflysummers for your advice!), and I adore Crimebot as a character...but unfortunately, unless we see some radical real-world police reform, these characters may have to remain shelved. :’)

Part 2

This and other combo comedy/sci-fi/slice-of-life short stories can be found in my digital anthology Shaped Like A Friend!

Part 2 of “Officer Crimebot and the Threatening Texts.”  I just...love stories about characters who don’t understand or fit in with the world around them but are accepted and loved in spite of that.

The color choices, especially in this second half of the story, were heavily inspired by Natalie Riess’s work on Dungeon Critters (which came out as self-published comics before it was reworked into a mainstream graphic novel).

Part 1

This and other combo comedy/sci-fi/slice-of-life short stories can be found in my digital anthology Shaped Like A Friend!

Another preview of my newest comic, “Officer Crimebot and the Threatening Texts”!  Spoilers...or ARE they...?

One of my goals with this story was to improve my sense of color (which was really frustrating but ultimately very educational), & big shout-out to @fireflysummers​ for lots of helpful advice!

The full story is available as a 16-page print comic via Storenvy (guest checkout available)!  And you can check out another preview here!

RIP Mihoshi (Tenchi Muyo), whose background cameo was covered up by a caption box
