After struggling so much to figure out how I wanted these character illustrations to look, and a dozen half-finished pieces, I just sat down today and—in one sitting—drew all three of them in one day.

Once again, I’m reminded that you just have to keep going. No matter what. 🤞

Kitty and I have been playing the newest Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and I’m really digging the art style, so much that I’m trying to figure out how to emulate it… 🤔🎨


By the way!

After much messing about, I think the best way to emulate the texture is actually to add a layer of noise, make it real crunchy, and then set it to color burn with lowish opacity. 🤓

Digital art tends to have a very soft look to it—and there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s just that for what I’m doing right now I want...

Jason (he/him, trans) is one of the characters of my latest novel, The Fabulous Gays. He’s had a rough last few years, but he’s in good company now! 😊💛

He works part-time at Cami’s venue and likes to spend his days off skating around town, enjoying the California sun~ ☀️


Kitty asked me if Jason is drinking a Bang energy drink and, while I do think that’d be pretty on-brand for Jason, the can pictured is clearly an Arizona Iced Tea~ 😎

In trying to make really good images of my characters for this website I’ve actually ended up making A LOT of art.

It’s a good thing this website is also going to be home to all the art/fanart—because otherwise I wouldn’t know what to do with all these pieces 😂

Kitty and I have been playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon together, and that’s got me back in the mood to draw pokes~


Also yes, I purposefully drew this lad to look like a little gremlin. I always imagined Meowths would be total troublemakers. 😼🔪
