Throwback to my old vengeance paladin, Skala. She’s a firbolg/ice genasi hybrid who was abducted from her village as a child by a folkloric ice monster, and found miles away, cursed and half-frozen, with no memory of the event ❄️

I’m officially *halfway* through inking THE GHOSTKEEPER. ✨ Still lots left to do, but I’m proud of my progress so far. ☺️

Hey comic artists! Do you:

✅ Have a tight deadline
✅ Have a ton of scenes set in towns/villages
✅ Struggle with perspective for buildings?

Here's a time-saving hack I like to call, "slap a tree (or bush) over it!"

Using too many trees already? Slap an NPC over it instead!

I hope your Valentine’s Day involved a romantic pastry-baking montage 🥖 🧁 🍓

Muffin 👻🐱
(is my favorite character in THE GHOSTKEEPER)

Fun fact: I named her "Muffin" after Oscar Wilde's running gag in Importance of Being Earnest, where characters keep drowning their sorrows in muffins.

One of my favorite types of panels to draw are establishing shots with teeeeeny tiny people 🚶🚶‍♀️

(Inks for my WIP debut graphic novel THE GHOSTKEEPER are coming along!)

Centauri, the Astral Elf Clockwork Soul Sorceror!

I based their look off of the Prague Orloj clock tower! They also have vitiligo with little nebulae in them 🪐

They’re also bigender (they/any), since they’re named after the binary star, alpha/beta centauri!
