Phantom Lady
I have the SketchBook app on my iPad and it has a sketch challenge. Today I decided to try it out while I sat in my doctor’s waiting room. Today’s challenge was Ghost.

The Dwarf Crown
The crown was finished and worn at Labyrinth Masquerade. I am very happy with how it turned out. And I think I will be using worbla again when making costumes or cosplay outfits. I also made a set of bracers to wear with…
Making a Dwarf Crown
I’ve sadly skipped the last couple of years, but normally I go to a yearly event called Labyrinth Masquerade (once called Labyrinth of Jareth Masquerade Ball – aka LOJ). I sadly couldn’t go in the past because it was always…
Zombie Ranch Art Day
Because we had a booth at SDCC this year, we decided to make this week a sketch week for me. Meaning that I would do a simple drawing of whatever today rather than a comic. Which was a good decision…
Zombie Ranch 257 – On The Fence
How you set up your panels can be very important. Having the long panel on the right can sometimes be tricky, because you can never guarantee that the reader will read in the direction you want to. So your options…
Zombie Ranch 256 – Zeds Getting You Down?
Think this was another case of using some reference photos with friends. Don’t have a chain link fence near my home, so I think we improvised using a ladder.
Zombie Ranch 255 – Exit Strategy
Another fun horde of zombies page. Top angles have always been a bit of a challenge, but I always like how it looks. For this one, I used Daz 3D to help me draw the top angle on the first…
Zombie Ranch 254 – Olé!
Best part about drawing Zombie Ranch is asking friends to pose as zombies for references. If I ask people if they would pose for a normal drawing, they tend to hesitate. They tend to feel they’re not attractive enough to…
Zombie Ranch 253 Bait And Switches
I like parts of this page and also would love to change parts of this page. Most of it is dull background images. But it’s hard to go back and fix things when you don’t have the time to do…
Zombie Ranch 252 – Smooth Coating
I admire people who do good word bubbles. We still consider ourselves beginners at the craft of creatively using word bubbles, but I feel we have improved since we first started doing the comic. A lot of things have improved…
Zombie Ranch 251 – How Green Was My Alley
We (the writer and I) debated a lot on how the cage path to the zombie pen should look. For cattle, some researchers (like Temple Grandin) suggest a curved path so they feel encouraged to go forward and not stop.…
Zombie Ranch 250 – Best Practices
Another page from Zombie Ranch of Uncle Chuck talking about being a zombie rancher and how to take care of the zeds. Drawing the zombie silhouette and outlining the zombie innards was fun to come up with.

Zombie Ranch 249 – Basic Instincts
I love drawing the cartoon version of our zombie ranch world. Here we have Uncle Chuck (Suzie Zane’s Uncle) chatting on the left about the ranch. Jon is Suzie’s father. One of the hardest things was trying to figure out…
Zombie Ranch 248 – Nothing To Rapport
A month or so before I drew this page, I showed Clint a documentary on Buck Brannaman . I remember hearing about him when I was a teenager and was fascinated by how he didn’t use the typical techniques to train horses.…
Zombie Ranch Episode 11
I’ve wanted to upload the Zombie Ranch comic that I draw, but as of today, we’re on page 299 of the comic. So instead of starting from Episode 1, I’ll start with Episode 11. If you want to read the comic from the beginning,…

Consigliere
Went to Urgent Care to see a doctor about some health issues I’ve been having. Brought my iPad so I could draw and this is what I created. Hope to create more art on the iPad and hopefully outside the…
Cat Meow Animation
Decided to try animating my cat. I wanted to test out animating fur and whiskers. The goal was to not make the fur lines end up looking wiggly and try to make the flow of the whiskers look decent. Done…

Speed Drawing
My health hasn’t been that great lately. Hopefully nothing to worry about. But when I’m having a rough week, I tend to feel like trying out a new medium. This week I went out and bought some water color pencils…
Touchscreen Test
Testing out drawing on a touchscreen using Krita Gemini Demo on Steam. The touch screen doesn’t have any pressure sensitivity. Sad that Adobe Photoshop CC doesn’t let you use the touch screen, so it won’t let me doodle using my…
Disara’s Faerie Ride
Was playing a fantasy RPG with a friend and the game master was discussing how we would have to take a Ferry to get to an island. And so the play on words began in my head and to add…
Concept Sketch: Post Apocalyptic Outfit
I went to Wasteland Weekend last year and had a blast. But wasn’t prepared for the heat. All my outfits were bulky coats and armor pieces that I thought I would be able to wear when the sun came down. Usually…
WIP: Mini art booklet
February tends to be the month where restock or add new merchandise to sell at our booth at comic conventions. Less time spent drawing new or working on old art projects. This year I’m trying out at making a small…
Comic Sketch: Put On Some Weight
Think I might have put on a few too many pounds this holiday/birthday season. this isn’t me saying that I am a huge monster, but just how I feel. Sluggish and a bit on the lazy side. Been slowly getting…
Rebel Girl
I’ve seen a few Star Wars inspired fashion sketches here and there. Sadly they’re all for thin people that would look horrible on a chunky girl like myself. So decided to play around with possible outfits I would wear that…
