The hiatus of Our Home; Eternal has now officially begun. I believe I got the first six pages of chapter 2 completed, but there was still a lot of work to do. But now my digital art supplies are packed, and I won't have access to them until some time in May or June at the earliest.

For the first time in over a year, Dextive Blog will be going on a pause. I am going through a major life transition right now, and things are going to get hectic in a couple of weeks. Dextive Blog will resume as soon as it can. Thank you for reading the posts as they came out.

My unique Wonka interpretation celebrating his 90th birthday. Don't forget to moisturize! I heard that replacing your body with a chocolate one helps! #fanart #catcf #artsky #digitalart #wonka

Willy Wonka sitting in front of a chocolate cake that has candles that read "90." He looks way younger than 90.

3 days until the release of Our Home; Eternal! Question #3: What is the best part of the drawing process? Honestly, it's the coloring. It's quick, and doesn't require a lot of thinking. And when it comes to something such as a comic, quick is good! #comicdev #artist #comicartist #indiecomic

5 days until the release of Our Home; Eternal! To count it down, I shall answer a question each day. Question 1: Which character is the most fun to draw? Answer is in the thread below! #indiecomic #comicdev #webcomic #superhero #dystopia #ama #qna

Styx Brooks is a blonde teenage boy with brown eyes. He has a massive scar on his cheek and a smaller scar on the right side of his neck. A gemstone occupies the left side of his neck.

He dresses in business casual.

Here is a bag I did have on my shop, but decided to take it off for quality reasons. Only thing I did to it was attempt to add velcro and made the backing. It's a cute bag anyhow, but this thing was not gently loved. lol To see the bags that are available, head to dextive-shop.square.site #bsnm

Thank you so much for the sunday artshare, Chey! 🖤✨ Today has been work, work and more work! I hope you got/get to rest well 🖤

Painting of a classroom of anthropomorphic characters as well as one human. There is a fox who is the teacher, a brown mouse student, a blond human student, a bat student, a chameleon student, a hyena student who is asleep on their desk. The focal point of the illustration is on a blue bird passing a note to their blue kobold classmate.

The 26th is upon us! Just for a taste, here are the first two pages of Our Home; Eternal chapter 1. (Technically 3 pages? lol) #webcomic #indiecomic #teaser #globalcomix #art #digitalart #comicart #artsky #comicsky

A two page spread.

A yellow train crosses a desert. A lizard is sunning on a rock in the foreground.

Dialogue box: The People's Commonwealth of Harmonia
The West
22XX

Narration: My fifteenth birthday happened just last week, and I got a gift that changed my life.

A comic page with three panels.

Panel 1: A small blonde boy is looking out of a window. He is lounging, but not relaxed.
Narration: And yet, I feel nothing. My boy may be free now, but there is this numbness that refuses to clear up and go away.

Panel 2: A closer look at the boy. He is trembling.

Panel 3: He is clutching his head, which is angled down. His face is revealed. There is a massive scar on his cheek.
Narration: Just like the numbness, these memories refuse to go away. I'M SORRY!

I have opened some ref sheet files so I can do some work on my comic, and...I think they got corrupted! Help! Chapter 2 of Our Home; Eternal is in production. #comicdev #comicsky #webcomic #indiecomic #superhero #dystopia #characterdesign #ocsky #refsheet

Styx Brooks, except his colors are all wrong. He also has no scars and no stone. Most egregious of all, he is smiling!

Kimiko's fox form, but her colors are wrong. She is glitching in ways that are basically clipping into herself. Everything is simply....off about her.

Honestly, chapter 1 has taught me a lot about creating a comic. And I'm ALREADY taking those lessons to chapter 2 along with my updated style! Chapter 1 is coming out July 27 on GlobalComix Featured panel is a chapter 2 WIP. Not chapter 1. #artsky #comicsky #comicdev #indiecomic #webcomic #wip

Did you know? Our Home; Eternal will consist of zero sex scenes, making it accessible to sex-repulsed asexual people similar to myself! Don't worry, there will still be Dystopian horrors a-plenty! It's still not for children nor the faint of heart. #asexual #webcomic #comicdev #comicsky #dystopia
