Patreon Patrons
I have recently created a Patreon page, where I will be posting about my works-in-progress, and indeed sharing draft chapters as things move forward.
I want to express my deepest thanks to those who have joined the Gold Level of my noble Patrons.

Inktober 2019 – Getting Started

More Inktober Work
Looks like my pattern will be to post the previous day’s drawing each day. Of course, I might catch up and post a finished piece on the day it was done. This one is from a set of pictures from … Continue reading
