Happy Holidays! Here’s a Free Desktop Wallpaper

Happy holidays! I have here a free desktop wallpaper for you to download – fit for the season.

Now, full disclosure, my Fan Club peeps got the first download. (They also get a ton of other exclusive wallpaper downloads as thanks for their pledges.) This one in particular, though, I went, “This is too cute – everyone should have it!”

So here’s the link to download it from my Ko-Fi shop…

For 2024, I want to offer monthly freebies to folks much like this offering. These freebies would include phone wallpapers and hi-res coloring pages. If you would like to get freebies next year, sign up for the email newsletter! The freebies will be shared there.

To get exclusive phone and desktop wallpapers (and early access to my webcomics to boot!), be sure to pledge on Ko-Fi and become a Fan Club member! If Ko-Fi isn’t your speed, you can pledge directly through my Fan Club Page.

Oh! You can also watch how I drew this wallpaper by checking out two videos: This one shows the pencils and inks while I talk about my Inktober social media experiment…

And here is an archived live stream where I show the coloring process!

That’s all for now. Happy Holidays, and I’ll see you in 2024!

Be safe. Because you. Are. Awesome.

LIVE STREAM – FINAL HOURS for The Legend of Jamie Roberts, Volume 2 on Crowdfundr!

Today’s live stream features the FINAL HOURS for my latest graphic novel, The Legend of Jamie Roberts, Volume 2 on Crowdfundr!

So what happens after volume 1? Who’s the Basho twin Jamie’s been talking to? What will happen to the Chief? What’s going to happen to the orb? AND WHAT’S UP WITH THE DRAGON??

There’s only one way to find out, and that’s to get The Legend of Jamie Roberts, Volume 2 on Crowdfundr. New stretch goals have been unlocked, including exclusive stickers. PLUS, you can select rare and limited edition acrylic pins as part of your rewards!

In today’s stream, we’re fundraising for the final stretch before the campaign closes! All while drawing new material for the book.

And then, we’re also talking up the next Crowdfundr campaign launching Sept 1 (the next day) – Mr. Dino Pride Keychains and Stickers, yo.

What can I say? There have been some exciting things happening with Fantasyville Productions, aka my art business.

I hope you enjoy the live stream. Thanks for watching!

You. Are. Awesome.

Punk Rock Daniel (An Art Post)

a young blonde man with lightly spiked hair winks and smiles at the viewer, with one hand making a "rock" symbol. He wears a green vest with torn sleeves and a pink heart patch on one side. He has a guitar case strung on his back.

This is Daniel Scouter in punk rock looks…because why not? I wanted to draw him, Jamie Roberts, and Thomas Doran in punk looks.

I drew him (and the other two) traditionally with Copic markers and Zebra brush pens. It was refreshing to work traditionally after years of digital work!

Daniel (and Thomas and Jamie) will be stickers for those who back The Legend of Jamie Roberts, volume 2 on Crowdfundr. Yes, the campaign is STILL running! We have hit our main goal and now we’re working towards our stretch goals!

The Legend is on Crowdfundr UNTIL SEPT 1. Your window of time to back this campaign and pre-order volume 2 is closing, yo.

If you’re broke, share this post. Shares help more than you know.

That’s all for now. Thank you for your support!

From Sketch to Finished: The Cover for The Legend of Jamie Roberts, Volume 2

Today, I want to show a piece of art from a sketch to the finished piece. This time, it’s the cover art for The Legend of Jamie Roberts, volume 2. (It’s still on Crowdfundr, by the way! Get a pre-order of the book while you can.)

Here’s the initial sketch that I drew in 2015…

Here’s a redraw of the same sketch, drawn in 2020…

Here is final art I made for the cover art of Volume 2…

I can’t help it, I love this art.

In fact, I love it so much that I want to see how you color this. Here is a link to download the line art. If you color this, tag me on Instagram @kelcidcomics or Ko-fi @kelcidcrawford.

And don’t forget that The Legend of Jamie Roberts, Volume 2 is still on Crowdfundr! Pre-order your copy and help us reach our goals.

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