It’s snowing in Vail. Truly I am in my happy place.

Badly summarizing the chapters of my #webcomic! Chapter 5, The Angel of the Lost Republic: Our amnesiac protagonist remembers something! Unfortunately, it’s a bad memory. Relive classroom trauma here: buff.ly/4i96A2x

Went snowshoeing today. The cashier at the Nordic center wanted to double-check that nobody in my family's party was under 17. I had to break the news to her that I am 31.

Badly summarizing the chapters of my #webcomic! Chapter 4, The Tournament of Souls: Cyrus has to babysit one of my OCs, who has WAY too much energy for so early in the morning. Give Cyrus some space here: buff.ly/43aX4be

Heroes of Thantopolis has updated! buff.ly/3Dh1p1I Today's update: Cyrus can have a little hope, as a treat. #webcomic

Badly summarizing the chapters of my #webcomic! Chapter 3, A Coming of Age: Xisea gets bullied – but Cyrus sticks up for her. Stand up to bullies here: https://buff.ly/3EQMGLy

Today was a three-soda day. I’m on vacation, I earned it.

Badly summarizing the chapters of my #webcomic! Chapter 2, The Queens’ Champion: Zombies are a thing in the City of the Dead. Do they have narrative significance? No. Do they show up again? Not really. It’s just supposed to be funny. Throw popcorn at zombies here: https://buff.ly/3QtqKbZ

Badly summarizing the chapters of my #webcomic! Chapter 1, Alive on Arrival: A literal goddess with dominion over millions of souls bribes a 12-year-old boy into saving her city for her. Pick out a weapon here: https://buff.ly/4hBKPIs

A little screech owl has decided to roost under the eaves of the garage. His feathers were puffed until I got outside to take pictures, where he pulled his feathers in to look more threatening. #animal #owl

The team is NOT happy #sketchsaturday

This weekend on The Webcomic Travelogue Reviews: Brosencrantz dives into The Sword Interval, a completed series set in a post apocalyptic world! webcomictravelogue.com/reviews/the-... #webcomic #comic #webtoon #apocalypse

My starter trio predictions for #pokemon legends Z-A: 🌿 Snivy into Grass/Steel Serperior 🔥 Litten into Fire/Fairy Incineroar 💧 Piplup into Water/Ghost Empoleon OR Sobble into Water/Poison Inteleon (I'd vastly prefer Piplup)

As my #webcomic works with limited #colorpalette, there are times when I have to flexible with a character's color scheme. No blue for a blue character? No orange for an orange character? No problem! Here's a look at variant palettes for characters from Heroes of Thantopolis.

Heroes of Thantopolis has updated! Today's page: A momentary respite?? Read it here: https://buff.ly/3X5zbxG #webcomic #hiveworks

Update tomorrow!

Check out the latest blog post from the Webcomic Travelogue, written by myself and @webcomiclibrary.bsky.social!

I use a limited #colorpalette for each chapter of my #webcomic Heroes of Thantopolis. By varying the colors I pick, I can create vastly different vibes. I'm really happy with how I used Chapter 14's palette to create unique visuals for each scene! #color #hiveworks

If Lickilicky has one fan, I'm that fan. If he has ten fans... well, he doesn't, but I'd be one of them. #pokemon

I thought the reason movie theaters asked you to silence your cell phone is because it would interfere with the transmission of the movie to the screen, like how phones could interfere with airplanes. Later learned it was because ringing phones annoyed the audience.

This is Murphy the grey tabby. There's only one thing on Murphy's mind – FOOD! Wet or dry, he's happy to be munching. #cat #sheltercat

The Color Blender tool at https://buff.ly/2Eo8Sen is essential to how I make color palettes for each chapter of my #webcomic Heroes of Thantopolis. Chapter 15’s palette went through a TON of iteration. Here’s a look at how I played around with the blender to find the right vibe! #hiveworks

For Aromantic Awareness Week we decided to make a collection featuring our favorite comics featuring aro representation. With characters just coming to terms with their identities to living their best lives we've got an excellent lineup for you! webcomictravelogue.com/discover/ #aromantic #comic

This week, I want to dive into how I #color my #webcomic, Heroes of Thantopolis! I work with a unique limited color #palette for every chapter of the comic. It's a fun challenge to come up with different palettes and use color in interesting ways. #hiveworks

I FOUND IT! Last year I was looking for a list I knew I had typed up but gave up on the search. Tonight, I opened up a very old document of links looking for a specific link and I FOUND THE LIST! So satisfied to have solved that mystery.

Here's the finished panel!

"Xisea with a new friend" is an entire genre of drawings #spider #pokemon

💖 When human characters get put in non-human robots ❌ The main character's eventual love interest being tipped off to readers by the MC perfectly identifying their scent. I truly hate this trope. I've worked for years on my "smell-ictionary" but horny MCs get super smell-identification.

Get a load of these background characters I have yet to draw #sketchsaturday

I found an on the Heroes of Thantopolis site that was causing navigation to freeze up. If you were getting stuck right before Chapter 10, it is now fixed!

Lovey-dovey Valentine's cards not your thing? Maybe these #aro/#ace themed cards featuring characters from my #webcomic will be more your style. Looking for more stories about #aromantic and #asexual characters? Heroes of Thantopolis has you covered: https://buff.ly/42AvpAc

Meet Redburn. He’s got the body of a horse, the head of a chicken, the flames of a dragon… and the personality of a chicken. But he’s trying his best to be a good friend and a powerful ally! Get to know Redburn by reading my #webcomic Heroes of Thantopolis! https://buff.ly/42AvpAc #hiveworks

This is Olive, a petite and lanky Tortieco with an incredible fur pattern. She loves belly rubs! #cat #sheltercat

Meet Sag. As the Spirit of Sagittarius, she represents everything those born under the Archer are like. She’s adventurous, friendly and full of… self-doubt? Are we sure we’re talking about the right star sign? Get to know Sag by reading my #webcomic Heroes of Thantopolis! https://buff.ly/42AvpAc

The first #sketchsaturday, today I'm working on page 6 of Ch15. Crowd time! #webcomic

How do you get Snowball to shut up? A rainbow lollipop works pretty well. Snowball is a character of mine, you can read his profile here: toyhou.se/15897435.sno...
