Inktober IS Happening This Year!

Remember how I said I wouldn’t do Inktober in this previous check-in post? Well, Inktober IS happening!

I got inspired by vigoburrito and their webcomic, The Divine Intervention. They drew that comic one panel at a time and posted it on Instagram.

So I thought, “What if I drew a comic one panel at a time for Inktober?”

Here’s what’s been drawn as of yesterday, October 3rd:

inktober 2021 panel 1
inktober 2021 panel 2
inktober 2021 panel 3
inktober 2021 panel 4

Yup! I’m drawing witch kitties – like from Kitties By Kelci on RedBubble.

What will happen next? Be sure to tune in on my Instagram! I’ll also post once a week here on the blog with updates.

Because of Inktober (and other work), I’ll be updating this blog less frequently. Just once a week for now. But know that other projects (like KickStarter fulfillment and commissions) are coming along.

That’s all for now. Thank you for reading!

You. Are. Awesome.

Vote for October’s Sticker of the Month Pick

time to vote for October's sticker of the month! Two options are presented in black silhouette.

If you’re new around here: I made my Patreon page into a Sticker of the Month club. Today, I opened the polls, so folks can vote for October’s sticker.

Votes will be tallied between today and October 6. But ONLY Patrons can vote for the design. So if you want to vote, head to Patreon and sign up. $1 a month gets you the vote (plus access to my Discord server, Tiny Dinos). $10 a month will get you the sticker in your mailbox each month.

Broke? That’s ok – share the club with friends who love stickers! Every share helps.

That’s all for now. Thanks for checking this out!

The Water Mage

the water mage, a woman hovering in the air, containing wild water energy in her hands. The water cascades around her body. She wears an eyepatch, gauntlets, and fish-scale skirts with leather strap boots.

The Water Mage had been the first in the series of mages I drew. I believe this is a 2016 or 2017 piece, but it’s been a long time since I checked.

I drew her with Copic markers and fine line pens on Strathmore sketch paper and made her into 4 x 6-inch mini-prints. She ( and a few other mages) were part of a series, which I printed for conventions. She and the others are now out of print. But who knows? I may put her in an art book later.

For now, she’s available as a hi-resolution download! But only for Ko-Fi supporters and Patreon patrons. I’ve been posting hi-res downloads for supporters, and I plan on keeping that up.

That’s all for now. Thank you for reading!

A Revisit of An Old Character Design

2015 character design featuring a black punk girl in dreadlocks, drawn in portrait with a pink guitar and punk records in the background for flair. The guitar says "THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS."

Recently I revisited an old character design. I’ve been working on some new freelance projects, including character art. So I found this character from a past personal project, called Goth & Punk Girls Sketchbook. Then I put her in a new project I made for a client.

Here’s a peek:

This is the work-in-progress clip. The project is fully completed, but it’s confidential. So I can only show this bit.

Still! Glad I got to fit this character in somewhere.

That’s all for now. Thank you for reading!

Away From Keyboard, Be Back Soon

I need to be away from the keyboard for a few days, but I’ll be back soon.

Why? First, I seem to have come down with a cold a few days ago. And it won’t leave. So I’m resting as much as I can.

Second, I’m out of town this weekend to check on my family. The catch is, my family lives in an area with no cell signal or internet. So I won’t be able to answer emails or direct messages, much less post content.

SOME posts here on this blog, The Legend of Jamie Roberts’ site, and Patreon will be scheduled ahead of time. But for posts on Ko-Fi and Instagram, those will not be scheduled.

For folks waiting on commissions, especially from KickStarter campaigns: I’ll work on your requests between naps. They’ll get done. Just…slowly.

Thank you for your patience.

You. Are. Awesome.
