Sometimes, Flowey makes evil faces while telling people that killing them is an opportunity no one would pass up.

And sometimes, I draw those faces and like the way they turn out so much that I want to share them early.

This fearsome face will appear in the next page of my Undertale webcomic, Just Cause.

The first 25 panels of page 39 of Just Cause are up on Patreon! Here's one of my favorite panels:

It looks like, per standard floral protocol, Flowey is making a bad first impression.

Patrons pledging $1/month or more can see the other 24 panels on my Patreon.

​Happy holidays!

If you have any last-minute greetings you want to send out, hopefully this blank Christmas card will come in handy. I left the right-hand side empty so you can write or type a message onto it.

Sorry I didn't get this done earlier; I had a lot of pre-holiday stuff to take care of. But hey, even if you don't use it this year, it'll still be here next year. :) 

It's interesting to contrast this picture with the fireplace card I recently drew in pencil crayon, and to see what a difference it makes when I'm using a medium I'm more familiar with. Night and day!

P.S. Do you ever wonder why we always say "Merry Christmas", as opposed to any other synonym of "happy", and why we never seem to apply the word "merry" to any other holiday? Random thought for the day. :P
 

I'm participating in the Summary of Art meme again. :) Here's a quick look at some of my favorite art pieces from each month of 2018.

The 38th page of Just Cause is FINALLY ready! WOOHOOOO!
​ 

FINALLYYYYYYY! After a little over two months of work, this giant beast of a page is done! Merry early Christmas. :P

I'm especially happy with the panel where the dagger is dripping red on the timeline chart. I'd originally planned to have just the ketchup-smeared dagger, but then I realized I could add the timeline chart in a way that made it look like the dagger was filling in the red progress lines, and I loved it too much not to draw it.

I thought a few times about ending the page right after Sans turned into dust, but I decided Frisk's reaction would have more impact if it was shown RIGHT after Sans died. The poor kid's brain pretty much shorted out.

Speaking of Sans, in the game he has a bit more dialogue before the "going to Grillby's" line, but in this comic he was distracted by his horrifying speculations. (And also, it would have made the page WAY too long.)

Now, I'd like to play a game: see if you can guess which panel I added after the comic layout was created and the panels adjacent to it were already drawn. Can you spot the extra panel?

DeviantArt is hosting an event in which artists send in physical cards, and DA delivers them to patients in hospitals.

If you want to share some holiday cheer with hospitalized patients this year, and earn a one-month Core membership on DeviantArt, you can get the details of the project here.

Here are the card designs I've made so far:

​Will you be participating this year?

As promised, here's the second round of Inktober art!

Today's picture is a stranded starfish trying to make its way home. As with the previous one, this was drawn in pen while my sister and I were driving to a family reunion.
 
It was inspired partly by the ongoing analogy in My Fugitive, whose protagonist based her mindset and values heavily on the story of a man who, upon finding thousands of starfish stranded on the beach, started throwing them into the sea.
 
Another man saw him doing this and commented, "You know, it doesn't matter how many you throw; you'll never be able to save them all."
 
The first man smiled at him, picked up another starfish, and tossed it into the ocean. "It mattered to that one."

Today's Inktober drawing was inspired by the Willow Maid in this gorgeous song, and is brought to you by the HUGE FREAKING KUDOS I give to people who can draw in marker and not end up with a bunch of unwanted lines and colors overlapping in the wrong places.

Sadly, I didn't have time to add a background before I had to run out the door - the whole thing was kind of a rush job - but when/if the mood strikes me, I might make a better version of this, probably digitally. ​

​I was planning to draw something dramatic, complex and touching for today's Inktober theme, but then I got let down twice in just a few hours, so here's this silly piece of TMI-ish vent art instead.

I'll draw my other idea another day, when I have time to do it justice instead of having to rush out the door like I did after drawing this.

​The clock keeps turning backward, and Sans just wants it to stop. But the power to stop it will always be in someone else's hands.

​Today's Inktober is a quickly-drawn ode to my weak time management, the lack of an "undo" button on markers, the fact that I have a steadier hand while drawing digitally than traditionally, and my apparent capacity to forget the presence of collarbones and thus put the neck tendons in the wrong place when I'm distracted by my minor cheekbone disaster. :P

On the upside, drawing traditionally DOES force me to tone down on the nitpicking, adapt to my mistakes instead of simply undoing them (the striped shirt hides the fact that one shoulder's line was in the wrong place), and finish the picture in a more reasonable amount of time than I would if I had an undo button to enable the perfectionism I'm working to overcome.

It also gives me this chance to internally chuckle at the fact that the panel with the difficult perspective turned out better than the one in an easy pose, haha. Granted, I did the latter without a sketch, because I was deliberately trying to get this one done quickly so I'd have time to work on Just Cause.
