imagining a world where steph's robin costume kept a little bit of the energy of her original spoiler costume instead of just being Generic Robin But With A Skirt This Time (Because Girl) #dcfanart #dccomics #stephaniebrown

put together some of my character design sketches + playlists for #AOTH🫀 bonus content last night!

part of a page from the backmatter for AFFAIRS OF THE HAUNT, showing character design sketches for lilah and cam. full-body drawings of each of them are in the middle, with sketchbook doodles surrounding them, and lilah's playlist partially visible behind her.

same as the other image, but for vivian and fel this time.

happy [late] birthday jason todd, #1 guy that haunts himself and everyone around him <3 🦇 #art #dccomics #redhood #dcfanart #risograph

a risograph print of jason todd, done in red, green, and light lime green-yellow ink. it shows young robin-era jason running with a grin, cape flowing behind him, while older red hood jason stands with his back to robin and a gun in his hands, looking over his shoulder with a mix of anger and grief. robin is drawn in green with accents of red and yellow, while hood is almost entirely in red, with only his eyes glowing green.

did a bunch of doodles while watching this which was VERY fun. everyone listen to bump in the night

a page full of doodles done during the bump in the night stream. loosely left to right/top to bottom: stephanie brown (in a neon 80s windbreaker) smirking and leaning on jason todd (in a black t shirt that says "eating pussy cures depression"); jason todd saying "i'm not a kid i'm almost 18", a ghost coming out of his head going "that's a kid", jason replying "ok well i'm a kid that can kill people"; tim drake as the pepe silvia meme in front of a board reading "CIRCUS = HAUNTED", barbara gordon in full oracle/batgirl costume saying "i'm over 18. i will not be eating cotton candy"; dick grayson with a thumbs up and a charming smile saying "rock + roll, let's go!" and backflipping away; tim drake replying to someone talking about black swan (released in 2010) with "i wasn't born yet sorry"; tim drake (again) holding up 2 fingers and going "robin #2, woot woot" while grinning.

more doodles: dick grayson smiling and calling out "thank you for thinking i'm cute!"; dick with his arm around tim's shoulder saying "we've known each other for 2 seconds but we ARE doing an escape room together" while tim says into his comms "you guys this guy has CRAZY AURA"; duke thomas saying "the scene of the cirme... no not the crime more like. the scene of a LOT of CLUES"; tim drake (now in a robin mask) looking at a rapidly approaching comet and saying "i have researched enough about asteroids to know this is bad."

finally found time to do a couple #artfight drawings! blythe for @angelicasays.bsky.social & robin for deusadonis on AF! 💖

a drawing of a sad-looking paladin woman smoking a cigarette in a suit of armor. she has a long brownish-red braid and is looking pensively off to the side, sort of hunched over. the background is teal and has a swirling ornamental design.

a drawing of a girl in a cat-ear hat looking mischievously off to the sie. her outfit has a bunch of ruffles and bows, and she has jester-style four pointed stars on each cheek. the background is red and has echoes of her silhouette in it.

my anxiety disorder is cured 100% for sure absolutely i swear, only extremely realistic fears goin on in this here brain #makeaterriblecomicday #makeaterriblecomicday2026

a four panel comic.
panel 1: me looking off to the side casually saying "yeah i have basically zero anxiety at all since getting on meds years ago".
panel 2: me awake in bed at night. thought bubble: "how do i convince my doctor to give me extra vyvanse to stockpile in case a zombie apocalypse happens + closes every pharmacy forever."
panel 3: me looking up towards panel 2. panel 4: me, maybe a little defensive: "oh cmon thats a totally normal and reasonable worry". a zombie is coming through a door behind me.

girl whos addicted to really saturated colors on a quest to prove that hot pink can also be scary (it's me i'm the girl) #AOTH🫀👻 #wip

a series of two page spreads from AFFAIRS OF THE HAUNT. this one shows vivian and fel talking in the attic about lilah and cam, who are on the next page arguing in their bedroom.

fel looking over her shoulder menacingly and then whispering in a crying lilah's ear, growing more shadowed and spooky until lilah, silhouetted, stands at the top of the basement stairs in the last panel.

lilah frantically painting, being puppeted by fel like a marionette, black paint spilling everywhere around her. vivian looks concerned floating near the entrance to the basement.

vivian and fel talking. behind vivian on the first page is snippets from lilah and cam's respective nightmare/dreamscapes, showing them each clinging to pictures of one another.

new zine for ithaca zine fest this weekend & tcaf next weekend!! collecting my past few years of hourly comics day comics, with a riso printed cover (recycled from leftover riso calendars i made last year) & clock hands you can actually spin!

several copies of a comic titled “a few hours of february”. the cover is made of parts of a ghost-themed calendar riso printed in pink and blue, and shows a figure with their hands folded, and a turquoise circle pasted over where their head would be. on the circle are clock hands that actually spin around.

sketches of stephanie brown from the absolute batman comics. the biggest one has her standing with hands in her pockets, looking off to the side and smiling. smaller sketches show her sitting smoking a cigarette and looking annoyed, and stealing tim drake's sunglasses while resting her arm on his head because he's like a foot shorter than her.

reformatted one of my old sticker sheets to print as postcards today and i'm a little obsessed with it

a postcard design done in shades of pink, teal, and light yellow, showing various internet-themed ghosts: a ghost surrounded by plants in a browser window titled "boo!", an error message reading "your computer is haunted" (with options "ok" and "uh-oh" below), a ouija board in a qwerty keyboard layout, and more.

the back of the postcard, in light shades of the same colors. the bit you're meant to write in is styled like a browser window.

i'm so excited about how the colors for affairs of the haunt are coming along & i truly can't wait for everyone to read this book. it's gonna be so good!!! #art #comics #AOTH🫀

a cropped page from affairs of the haunt (out spring 2027!!) showing fel, a demon with glowing yellow eyes and long wavy white-blonde hair, floating intimidatingly against a red background. flames emerge near her feet, and inky flamelike patterns swirl up behind her.

a cropped double page spread showing fel (demon) and vivian (ghost) floating through lilah's dreamscape. floating picture frames show various moments from lilah's life and aspects of her personality, and colorful ink swirls around them.

a page in a limited palette of reds, oranges, and some light purple, showing an exorcism being conducted in an ancient church. floating candles frame the panels, and the final panel shows the purple exorcism circle sparking to life.

fel and vivian being ejected from lilah's dreams as lilah shoots upright in bed next to her sleeping partner, cam. fel and vivian tumble out of lilah's head and through the bedroom wall, landing dazed on their backs in the hallway.

my silly little bat guys 🐦 #art #dccomics (might make stickers of these? who's to say)

illustrations in a simplified style of dc comics' robins: dick grayson, jason todd, tim drake, stephanie brown, and damian wayne

two more in the same style of stephanie brown and cassandra cain as batgirl(s). cass is doing the gesture that's popped up a bunch in recent batman comics where you point up next to your ears to mimic batman's cowl's pointy bat ears.

hey #portfolioday ! i'm kaylee & i'm a comic artist / illustrator who loves ghosts and the color pink. currently looking to line up work (comics, cover/ttrpg/album art, etc) for summer/fall 2026! 🫀 kayleerowena.com 💌 kayleerowena@gmail.com 🍒 kayleerowena.bigcartel.com ☕️ ko-fi.com/kayleerowena

an illustration in shades of purple, red, pink, and black of various picture frames with ghosts in them - a woman with flowers growing out of her neck, another without a head and with floating eyeballs and nerves where a head should be, one with a red gash in the canvas, one holding a severed head on a plate.

a comic page from the pitch for AFFAIRS OF THE HAUNT, my debut graphic novel (with writer jordan alsaqa, coming out spring 2027!). it shows fel, a demon with long white-blonde hair, trailing cam, a human, down a staircase and into the basement.

a blue and bright pink haunted house on a light purple background.

a double-page comic spread from THE WITCH'S WINGS AND OTHER TERRIFYING TALES (an "are you afraid of the dark?" graphic novel, available wherever comics are sold!) showing a young girl on a haunted bus surrounded by glowing green ghosts.
