Here is the video of me inking Gambit getting ready to throw a few cards. I added some fun Kirby Crackle to the cards and his hand because it doesn’t feel like Gambit without them #comicbooks #comcs #manga #marvel #marvelcomics #xmen #draw

A few months ago I did this Gambit and Rouge drawing as a continued warmup project. I’d work on it a little everyday before I went on to inking pages for a project. Here is a chunk of the penciling I did for Gambit #comics #manga #comicbooks #draw #sketchbook #xmen #marvel

I found out yesterday that my manga short Moonlit Fury made it to the finals of the Kadokawa World Manga Contest. While I didn't actually place for any of the prizes, being selected as a finalist out of 1,400 submissions is meaningful #manga #anime #comicbooks @viz.com @kadokawa-goods.bsky.social

I drew this character for fun after I found a fashion model on Pinterest with the dress. As I was sketching I went more along the lines of a character concept art piece, creating a demon/Oni hunter after a fresh set of kills. #characterdesign #manga #fantasyart #conceptart

Some more pages from the Halloween Ninja Witch special issue The Vale of Sleep Hollow. These scenes are the build up to big reveals, the summoning of the headless horseman and the tie in for the Ninja Witch Universe! Also I got to draw more pages of Icabod fighting more werewolves! #comicbooks

The double page action spread from the Sleepy Hollow Ninja Witch Halloween Special Issue! I got to have a lot of fun doing the coreography and doing crazy layouts for these pages. Not to mention that amicable is fighting a whole clan of werewolves in this scene. #comics #comicbooks #comicbookart
