Doin' some lizard face studies

I was hired by @LawOfNames to do some art for her upcoming RPG, Resistor! It's cyberpunk and very cool.

You should go check that out!

And when you're done with that, remember that you, too, can hire me to do things!

Matuvhika! A teenage ket with mixed ancestry. She's also a total folklore and history nerd.

"It's not that he's an insufferable narcissist with a napoleon complex, it's just statistically likely that everyone he's mad at is also going to be taller than him."

"Like a set of ginsu knives crossed with a snake and a stretch armstrong, then doused in several gallons of inner turmoil and insecurity"

I did a "badly describe an OC" meme over on twitter, and sketched up the characters I was describing while I was at it.

"Some kind of lanky goblin-man, always smoking, drinking, sticking his nose into other people's business"

"Violent lizard-person, with hair. Hell, why don't we double-down on that nonsense and give her whiskers, too."

Surprise! Hams!

Someone wanted to know what was hidden in the serving tray. It's more Hams!

Hams still belongs to @spoonfayse

I have a functional tablet again! I can draw without having to fight against my equipment every step of the way!

So You Want to Fight…
Katters: Fight Katters if you're ready for a committment. She'll never admit defeat. She'll admit victory, but then she'll be back for the sequel because you pissed her off. Zebra: Do it. You might win if you go for his face, but even if you don't win you'll be doing everyone a favour. Brutus: Sure,…[...]

@renardroi Mouse & His Child! A dreamlike, melancholic cartoon about toy mice that get lost, enslaved by rats, and lost again.

I actually have no idea how popular it is, but no one I've run into has heard of it

The site went down last night just after this went up, so if you missed your chance to read it then, give it another shot now!

Feedback for this chapter:
"Easily, far and away my favorite piece from you"
"Fantastic! Beautifully written"
"Ahhhhhhhh! So scared!"

If you're looking for something spooky to settle in with on these cold, November nights, try Something About a House! First chapter here: http://roastrabbit.com/wp/2017/11/something-about-a-house-i-the-house/

Something About a House – IV: Static
First Previous   Katters expected the house to be different, somehow, by the time they got back. Sucked into a hell dimension, maybe. Inexplicably replaced with several acres of untended cemetery. De-glamoured and revealed as the burnt husk it truly was. There would be a groundskeeper nearby, or a gas-station attendant, or a transient hobo.…[...]

Finally got the commentary for Russian Roulette finished! Patrons can read my thoughts about the story for $7, and of course the story sans-commentary is available to everyone for absolutely free!

For fun, here's a version I did with a different colour scheme, which I love, but is honestly kind of hard to look at. I figured they probably didn't want a cover that causes eye-strain.

I was hired to do the cover for it! One of the editors asked for a lamprey penis, so that's what I gave them.

I call it: THE LAMPRENIS.

The second issue of Underbelly is out today! Read it for free here: https://underbellyzine.blogspot.com/2018/10/underbelly-issue-2-autumn-2018.html

I haven't read it, yet, but content warnings apply -- like, all of them, probably? It's a splatterpunk/horror zine.

Back, then forth
And over hill
A cloud of birds dancing quadrille

Caw caw caw

One by one
They leave; and see:
This crow left unaccompanied

Caw-aw-aw

A solemn strut
A careful walk
Still proud, it calls a hardy squawk

Strut, hop, fly

Then lights away
On inky wing
Leaving pumpkin seeds and field green

Swoop, fly, glide

Ruined pumpkin
Flocks abound
Swooping, lighting on the ground

Hop hop, caw

Field below
Circle high
Gliding here from tree to sky

Caw-aw-aw-aw

Laughing, playing
Walking backward
Safety in the flock of blackbirds

Strut strut, hop

Rotate, migrate
Finding shade
And bugs and seeds between the blades

Peck peck strut
