Hey there! I'm finally posting the first page of my new web comic! It's a loving parody of the Sonic the Hedgehog comics, but also of Sonic OC culture! But also you don't have to know anything about any of that to enjoy the story and/or jokes! Thank you for your time! #comic #art #sonicOCs #OC

An obvious villain is addressing 3 mercenaries on their next target. He announces that the targets name is "Olivia Oblivion" Two of the mercs think to themselves "that is the dumbest name I've heard in my life" While the third, an edgy looking rat, thinks "that is the coolest name i've heard in my life"

It's here! I've been talking about this comic for years, and page 1 is out! Consider this a sneak peak, since I may add some finishing touches, but the people have waited long enough! look out for page 2 in another 4 years. haha jk should be out soon! #art #comic #cyberpunk #neonoir #cat #detective

an orange cat is being chased by a calico cat with a sword and a cleaver. He turns a corner and runs into Baxter, a cat detective with a gun. Baxter says "You must be lost. And I don't mean you took a wrong turn. Although, you most definitely did. But you also took a wrong turn somewhere in life!"

Sorry for the repost, but I realized I should add my name and a title to the comic I posted yesterday. You can now repost it elsewhere with the knowledge that I will be credited. #art #comic #characterart #oc

A rat lady with a sword is pursuing a bird man. She has him cornered on the edge of a cliff and says "It's over Dayhawk there's no where left to run! you're coming with me!"

Dayhawk falls backwards off the cliff and Blade the rat yell "What are you doing? Dayhawk No!"

We then see day hawk flying away, as he is a bird man.

Blade the rat looks up at the sky and says "Oh. Right."

Here's a character I drew a while back for "New Sonic OC night" which was a very fun stream from @rickypeacock.bsky.social Her name is Blade the Rat. I made a whole bio for her, which I opted to edit out, but if you're curious enough you can check out Ricky's VOD channel #art #OC #sonicOC #sonic

Another cat from my Baxter comic (coming soon™️) give me a follow to read the comic as it comes out, which will almost certainly happen some time before the heat death of the universe, if not shortly after. #art #OC #cat

It's been a while since I've posted a Baxter, but I've been working on my comic more, so it seems like a good idea to post some teasers. Hopefully I'll be posting some pages before too long, so give me a follow if you're interested in a cyberpunk neo-noir about a cat detective! #art #oc #noir #cat

I've been trying to pin down an art style for my comic, and this started as a study, but I ended up rendering it. Pretty happy with this style, and with her hair. hopefully not too much longer before I actually start getting some pages done! #art #characterart #oc #cyberpunk #detective

Here's an older piece that I hadn't finished the background for. I took the airbrush tool to the corners. idk If I'd actually call it finished, but it looks good enough for a background. Anyway, I like this pick because it shows what a little guy Baxter is. #art #oc #cyberpunk #detective

I've been playing around with different haircuts for this character, and I'm still not sure what I'm going with, but I like this look. #art #oc #cyberpunk #detective
