You’ll never see AI used in any of my lettering work, and I’ll never knowingly work on a project which has been created using AI. 100% guaranteed.

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

Happy 40th Anniversary to my favorite game series! I haven’t forgotten about Metroid Variant, but my original indie comic took priority for a good bit of time. All of Episode 3’s inks are done tho! Here’s my favorite shot of Samus.

One of my favorite panel sequences from my comic! It’s live on Kickstarter and could use more momentum so please give it a look! www.kickstarter.com/projects/red... #thedæmon #kickstarter #horror

Comic panels showing Frank, the main character of my horror comic, watching a pool of blood float into the air, drop by drop.

Taking reference photos is always so silly and fun. Underrated part of the job. #TheDæmon #indiecomics #comicpencils #kickstarter

Was really happy with the pencils on this page. I just posted a making of on the Kickstarter page if you want to see the process. Linked in bio. #TheDæmon #IndieComics #Kickstarter

I made a prequel issue for my comic series for Free Comic Book Day! Stop by Big Bang Comics and Collectibles in Sewickley, Pa on May 2nd if you want a free physical copy. I will also have a table where I’ll do commissions as well. I’ll also upload a link that day to download a digital copy.

A physical copy of the comic. It shows lineart of the protagonist with the title of the story, “Do Not Read” covering his eyes.

"I couldn't afford to pay an artist" is not an excuse to use AI. You can learn to draw it yourself instead of stealing. That's a choice. If someone needs their house painted, but can't afford it, they do it themselves. They don't expect it for free. Art has value like everything else.

Inking has always been my favorite part of the process. Here’s one of my favorite Frank panels from my current project. #indiecomic #inks #procreate #comicart

Inked artwork of one of my characters from a comic panel. Moody/Horror vibes to line-work. Pencil layer visible underneath.

Finally got around to making a separate Bluesky just for Metroid Variant. So give that a follow if that’s the reason you follow me. My usual art will still continue to be posted here. #Metroid #Fancomic #Webtoon #MetroidVariant

Bad news: Variant episode won’t be up tonight. Good news: It has twice as many panels as the original thumbnails.

ACe @ceres-animation.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

Honestly, planning to upload the next episode of Metroid Variant the day before Thanksgiving was silly. It’s probably going to upload a few days later. I apologize.

020

ACe @ceres-animation.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

I’m probably separating Metroid Variant to it’s own bluesky later so this main is solely for my professional art. Gonna try to post more often as well.

According to WaPo’s termination letter my post referencing Kirk’s views on Black women was not even brought up. The Post’s stated reasons are *worse*. Read the termination letter for yourself. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

One of the hardest things when drawing Metroid Variant is remembering which arm Samus’s Arm Cannon is on. #metroidvariant

Of all the Metroid games to play on the anniversary of the franchise, I have the urge to play Other M.

Can’t leave things unfinished. I’m taking Metroid Variant off hiatus! It will return on August 31st.

I did cleanup work for a shot in this! Awesome start to a new series by Daria Cohen. Whether you’ve watched Vampair or not, you can jump in. Give it a watch! #indieanimation #vampires #vampair

3. Idk if Trigun is my favorite manga ever but its the one that’s influenced me most. - One of the best-written Protagonists ever - Manga x 90s Image art style that goes hard - Vash vs. Legato is my favorite action sequence in a comic - Very thought-provoking but hilarious #manga #trigun #comics

2. The Puckett/Scott run on Batgirl is one of my favorite comic runs of all time. This series made Cassandra Cain one of my favorite characters ever. Favorite issue is #25 easily. Really amazing fight/choreography and the finale is incredibly emotional. DC please reprint this run!!

ACe @ceres-animation.bsky.social · 13/11/2024

This was the first comic issue I really fell in love with and my first time reading Archie Sonic. The Flynn/Yardley run is one of the greatest Sonic storylines ever. Tracing Yardley’s amazing work was how I learned panelling and storytelling as a kid. #sonic #comics #sega #archiesonic
