late 2022 when Gaze an Eagle Blind was being concepted (even before the title got settled) I was going nuts sketching studies of Felix and Jolanka on dates or transiting.

I intended to finish these at some point but I've def moved on since then, still discovering these again I'm charmed. I used a bunch of stock photos to train myself to approach environments in a more grounded way. I got what I needed out of it, I think.

I don't usually share art this rough since it feels like I'm being lazy... but suppose sometimes it's nice to showcase how messy I start out

For the past year, Alex and I have been developing Gaze An Eagle Blind, a supernatural cyberpunk comic. It stars characters that have been with us since pretty much the beginning, so it's exciting for us to see them finally come to life.

It's finally started production! Will be sharing more as things move along.

Song of the Bull Rider is now available in paperback! Very happy with how the print came out, and still very proud of the art for this one. The story itself is much more beautiful though.

Please do consider checking it out!

Nan Chan is a story about a useless narcoleptic zombie and a horny fish that is trying to decide on his "fuck, marry, kill" answers very seriously, and together they are the proud parents of a marvellous single brain cell.

I only read the novel for Mó Dào Zǔ Shī, so I have very different visions for what I pictured for the characters than what canon went with... so I've been making redesigns.

NieR Automata is something I wish I drew more for since I masochistically replay it a lot... but I kind of nailed it in one with this illust, I think.

Done in 2018.

PREVIEW HERE | BUY HERE
Little Foolery's novel Song of the Bull Rider  is written by Alex Singer, artwork provided by me (with the honor of the cover painted by Saskia Gutekunst).

As for what it's about... Alex kind of mused on it best:
"I still don't know how to explain my upcoming novel. Historical War Fantasy? Historical romance? Gay Levantine Fantasy? Like danmei, except I didn't know about danmei when I wrote it? Pastiche on the King David cycle in an alt-universe fantasy world starring a non-binary protagonist who tops the ever living hell out of a haughty prince?

NB Political Hostage protag who has been thrust into a world of 1) royal intrigue, which they dislike 2) war, which they're good at, but dislike even more and 3) gender binary, which they find, frankly, kind of stupid."

      - Alex Singer
If that intrigues and appeals, please give it a read!
