New Scum Website. - Introducing the Machinae Muerte Codex. This is the first step to showing that many of my projects over the last 4 years are actually one cohesive body of work. Not in name. Not out of convenience. But out of intentional writing and storytelling. 🔗🔻

100 feet and 100 hands Fountain pen only. (Find me on Feet Finder, OnlyFeet and Plenty of Feet) Arms next.

Inking some Akira fan art. I'm doing a short series of covers of books that influenced me most on my journey. As of now this series is just for me to hang in my office/studio. The goal is to practice three things: 1 )Large scale pieces on 11x17 bristol board that is the standard for comics. As I plan to do my comics traditionally, I want to get comfortable with the scale. 2 ) Working with dip pens and brushes for line variation and line economy. These tools are also standard for manga and comics and I want to have a grasp on how they perform over time, how to work clean and how they might deteriorate over time. 3 ) Refining my traditional inks -> digital color workflow. I find that my line work and decisions are so much more...romantic (?) with traditional mediums. There's no second chances and each stroke is a conscious decision. I still tap the page with two fingers, but instead of frustration, I smile. Smile at those small 'errors' that give a finished piece the life my digital work had been missing. Lastly, and less important to this audience, I am filming the process to begin building a following on other platforms more intentionally. I've grown a lot in this space. And while this is still home to me, I find that the space has largely moved on from artists. I am more passionate now than ever before and I know that I need to build an audience of like-minded people SOMEWHERE if I am to ever share my stories when they are finally complete. Thanks for reading if your read this.

GM - show me your sketchbooks (pls)

Learning a lot of new tools lately. G Nib practice has been the absolute most satisfying.

It's Scuba. Scuba is your guy.
