This is the first in a three-part series of commissioned Big Hero 6 pictures. This one features Aunt Cass disciplining her nephews for the trouble they caused her at the start of the film. I enjoyed making this pic, and I hope you guys like it to. It’s hard to say when the next one will be done, but please look forward to it!
The WWOEC Woman of the Month for January 2015 is Lt. Helga Katrina Sinclair from Disney’s Atlantis: The Lost Empire. I always enjoyed the Atlantis film, though both it and Treasure Planet tend to get lumped together and pushed to the side as far as mainstream Disney attention goes. I’m not sure why that is, I think they’re both great adventure movies for kids, but maybe it’s that breaking of the Disney formula that stigmatizes them to casual viewers.
Anyway, one thing I always liked about Atlantis is that it has three smoking hot female characters. So, when Helga came up, I took advantage of the opportunity to include Kida and Audrey as well, though Helga is still the focus. I did my best to make it clear the guy is meant to be Milo, too. Unfortunately, do to poor spacial planning and the restrictions of my references, both his and Kida’s heads ended up cut off more than I would’ve liked. Still, I think the pic is pretty solid, and I hope you guys like it. 🙂
This is a commission I recently commissioned of Trish Una from the Vento Aureo arc JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, and “Bastet” Mariah from the Stardust Crusaders arc of the same series. I’m not terribly familiar with the JoJo franchise, but thanks to this same commissioner, I’ve now drawn it a few times and am slowly learning more about the series as I do so. 🙂
The pose used her is not original, it’s borrowed from a reference image chosen by the commissioner.
This is a picture I started a few months ago and finally got around to finishing today. I don’t expect a lot of people to recognize this character, but she’s Gloria Ookanda, the headmistress of the Paprika Private Academy in PriPara, a great magical girl/idol show. While I don’t think it’s gaining much traction where I live (the States), it seems to be doing well in Japan. Personally, I like the show a lot. It’s surprisingly subversive and continues to impress me with genuine twists and reveals. Gloria here is also a big selling point, as a comic antagonist her scenes are often my favorites. The show can be a little repetitive with its musical numbers, but if you can get past that it’s a great show if you like magical girls, idols, or lolis (I happen to like all three).
The loli characters get a lot of love from Japanese artists, but I haven’t seen anything yet for ol’ Gloria. Personally, I love her, she’s funny and curvaceous and has an outrageous hairstyle. Here I made use of her famous sense of smell (she can smell PriPara tickets, hunting them down like a bloodhound). I can’t make any promises, but I would definitely like to draw more of her in the future.
I mentioned before that I wanted to redo a handful of the Camp Woody pages, and here’s the first one. I felt the original art was a pretty big departure from the early pages and, while my version is certainly different as well, I think it’s a bit closer to the look of the rest of the comic. Hopefully you all can enjoy the new page as well!

The WWOEC Woman of the Month for December 2014 is one submitted by myself, Jingle Belle. I admit, I haven’t actually read the Jingle Belle comics much, but I like her design and she fits well with the season. So, for that reason, this doubles as my Christmas pic (not that I had one planned).
The funny thing is, I had originally planned to submit Polly Green, Jingle Belle’s Haloween-themed friend, for the October WWOTM. I forgot, though, and submitted Judge J. B. McBride instead. The judge was picked, meaning if I had remember what I had planned, there would’ve been two Jingle Belle characters in the appropriate months.
On a side note, I need to stop naming my files after songs. I had Anita Ward’s “Ring My Bell” stuck in my head the whole time I was working on this.
So, at long last the final page to Camp Chaos is up. This page was drafted by Linno, then handed off to me to ink and color. This page more than any other is a blending of the two main artists for the comic.
But this isn’t the end for Camp Woody. No, I’m quite sure there’s more stories to be told, but on top of that I’m planning on doing some revising. Pages 5-8 of this comic were drawn by a different artist and, while I think the pages are fine, the art shifts is pretty dramatic from the more rounded, anime-influenced styles that Linno and I use, respectively. That being said, I intend to redraw those pages myself, so you can expect to see updated versions of them showing up around here at some point.

The WWOEC Woman of the Month for November 2014 is Ayako from “Slam Dunk”. I vaguely remember reading the first few chapters of the manga about six years ago, but I can’t recall much about it. However, revisiting it now I really enjoy the old school art style, and Ayako was pretty fun to draw. I can’t say I have any designs to revisit the character, but I enjoyed drawing her for WWOTM.
I barely had time to pump this out, and I’m sorry. I’ve got a full load of university courses this semester, and right now they’re all breathing down my neck. That’s why it’s been such a slow month (that, and working on commissions for big projects), and I apologize for that. Hopefully in December we can get back to a steady update pace.
This is another Pandoras Box picture I was commissioned to color. Once again we see the boys trading their mothers a swimming pool, though this time they have little signs to go along with their naughty activities.
I’d always wanted to take a crack at this one, but I had been putting it off because I don’t have a lot of experience with water, especially bodies in water. I’m not one to shy away from a challenge, though, so I took this commission as an opportunity to try something relatively new to me. Hopefully my inexperience didn’t ruin the picture for anyone.
