Hey there! I'm a bit late to the party, but I should do a quick #introduction, yeah?

I'm your friendly neighborhood California Bay Area spare-time artist. A little sweet, a little spicy, but not 18+.

My latest stuff is always at https://retroheart.net!

A couple of chibis for Zero XP Hero I've been poking at off and on for way too long.
I had to re-draw the patterns on Sally twice, but it was good practice!

Quick little Bun-E03 doodle from last night that I want to revisit later!
Imagining something like a phone wallpaper where she's pressing her face up against the glass to see what's on the other side.

Chu!

#WIP

I don't know if, when, or how I'll find the time to make this concept and characters (who I've shared previously) into a full comic as I'm already having a hell of a time keeping just one comic going, but that's never stopped me from trying new things.

Zero XP Hero is the story of a lamia who defeats the chosen hero in self-defense with a critical hit, and (reluctantly) decides to take up his sword for herself to save the land from peril.
But how does a monster who can't level up become a hero?

Dipping into the #fanart archives since I don't have anything new to show off just yet.
A 90's-inspired Dragon Maid piece I put together while trying to learn how to use filters effectively.

Drawing for a bit! Will probably go until I wrap up what I'm working on or get hungry enough to eat breakfast.

That completes my long-winded introduction. Faves and boosts are always appreciated! At the end of the day I'm just happy to be able to create stuff and hope people like it along the way, and hope to meet some like-minded people.
Cheers!

But mostly, I like building out comic worlds and little universes; even while starting up more regular Twitch streams recently, I've been creating android mascot characters that are both featured on-stream, but have a little world of their own.

And I also do #fanart from time to time.

... but lately I've also been dipping into the 80s / 90s aesthetics that drove my art style, particularly trying to really nail down that VHS aesthetic (or at least, the way we remember it being).

My main focus over the past few (okay, *several*) years has been on Terraform (https://terraform.retroheart.net), a #webcomic about the strange journey of demons, a dog girl, and two life-long friends in a dimension-crossing adventure...
