hello!

it’s the season for introspection, and for getting sick…

as promised, here’s some art I’ve made recently! thank you for subscribing to my newsletter!

I kept delaying this article because I had more pieces I wanted to finish… and been busy with online store preparation (it’s reopening Nov 20th for the holidays).

I’m also reprioritizing and navigating other art and life goals, so a lot is up in the air. but next year, my merch will take a backseat for other projects.

bloodborne stickersheets

finally got around to drawing my favorites… these took forever to format, but I’m excited about how they turned out! they’ll have spot pearlescent parts.

I feel like stickersheets are their own compositional beast, since you need to think about each piece separately but also as part of the whole, kind of like comics… and there’s restrictions about spacing and sizing due to manufacturing… it’s a fun format to work with! I probably won’t have time to make fanart merch pieces like this again for a while.

comic

if I make more comics about creating art, I’m thinking to compile them into a zine. it’s one of the easier subjects for me to write about.

yaouri updates

I started thumbnailing a longer comic about laurence and gehrman’s first meetings. I was originally thinking for their zine to be an anthology of various minicomics, but something longer could be a good challenge for a consistent narrative arc, since I haven’t made anything like that yet.

not yaouri, but this is a sketch of an interaction between maria & laurence. I might finish it later.

life & figure drawings

I drew all of these while with other people, surprising!

misc + ig story archive

in the spirit of being all newsletter-like and linking to other disparate things on the web, here are a few things i’ve liked recently:

• hopeful essay about returning to old web protocols https://www.terrygodier.com/the-boring-internet
• the catamite’s list of top 100 videogames https://thecatamites.itch.io/list-of-the-top-100-videogames

PS: you can leave a public comment by going to the “view this email online” link below, or by replying directly to this email (although that may seem a little weird), it’ll be published onto the archive website!

thank you to those who commented on the last article, I appreciate it :D
