The Kickstarter just launched for BENIGN KINGDOM, a publishing project I’m starting with fellow webcomics artists Yuko Ota, Becky Dreistadt, and KC Green. Four art books (the cover of mine above), one hardcover collecting the set, and the foundation of something that could be really big and exciting.
More details over here!
Number seven.
Subtler changes here; the back appendages now support thin webs of skin, which can expand to a wide area in displays. The head can move on its own more freely now, so its eyes are no longer on stalks and are limited in their own independent movement.
I am really happy with this one so I am reblogging it and you are just gonna have to deal with that!!
I had an idea for something about a person who has some weird interdimensional parasite take over her body bit by bit. Have a very clear idea in my head of what her arm is supposed to look like, and couldn’t quite get it right on paper…
To the people proposing this:
You dumb bastards. You know who this’ll hurt? Not big media. Not on any significant scale.
No, the people this will really fuck over are the EXACT same people SOPA and PIPA would fuck: Creative professionals; small publishers; independent businesses.
If you…
One of a few new postcards I am getting printed! Need to make more of an effort to represent and brand Vattu as its own thing. And the first book is a while away from being printed, but I kind of like something like this as the cover, without text: just her in a big indistinct field of grass.
Hey I would love it if you’d read it.
Dunno about this guy or why he looks so concerned. He’s got arms made of the magic-stuff like those golem dudes.

exile-vilify asked: Are you gonna turn your adventurer series into a new ip separate from the tales of over//underside?
This stuff has nothing to do with Overside; Overside works according to specific aesthetic rules in my head that these illustrations break. And anyway so far they are just a fun thing to draw periodically, and I like the idea of having a big pile of character designs with no explicit story for them. I have too many hypothetical stories I’d like to work on to think that this thing will go much of anywhere!
Another in the Adventurer series, which I guess I haven’t touched in a month. This guy is some kind of important figure or aristocrat among the ferret-people. Also I guess they often paint their nails.
This is the first beast.
The Exquisite Beast is a project that Yuko Ota and myself, Evan Dahm, are starting. Beginning with this creature drawn by me, we will take turns drawing future creatures, each one representing a visible step in a theoretical evolutionary process. We’ll play with the aesthetic of living things and the process of natural selection, and may or may not end up with a biologically plausible series of beasts.
In the future, Yuko’s monsters will go up on every Friday, and mine will go up on every Tuesday. Thanks for looking!
This is a new project by me and Yuko! Check it out and follow the blog!! It will go weird places!
