I wanna post a little animation for Chinese new year, since it's the year of the tiger and... well, Gillie's a big cat(girl) and Talita's an orange stripey carnivore, so somewhere in the middle there's a tiger.
If you want to see an animation of Talita actually snarling, that's over here.

This scene turned out longer than expected, lol. Eventually it may even get polished enough to post to social media.
Child care within the clan system is usually done by non-reproductive members. Tadder and Relaghul have misinterpreted Doug's response as a "yes, that's my role in the clan."

Hi, I got sidetracked from comics recently so in the meantime here's a sketch animation of Talita galloping.
I'm kind of tempted to make this the fastest gait of centaurs rather than the cat-like alternating sprint I had previously, because it's based on actual research of actual hexapods. The step pattern...

Well, it took a hot minute but I finally have the time to work on this comic again. The two brothers here are named Tadder (tall) and Relaghul (chubby), and by popular vote in the Discord server, they're from the Pahk ethnicity.
Part one is here. Part 3 is in progress.

No points for guessing Talita's ethnic group.
Most of these names are derived from the names that the Shess call the other ethnic groups, since that's where the majority of alien embassies are on the centaur homeplanet.
The centaur homeplanet has a 51 degree axial tilt, meaning that during the Northern winter, the South pole bakes, and vice versa. Most of the settled regions are in ...

Much to my own surprise, I have not only grown enough patience to finally build myself a website, but I'm learning the HTML and CSS to make it all from scratch. It has been this month's compulsive creative project and it's far from complete, but I figured I ought to share it with you folks. I'll post about it on social media when it's less ramshackle.
I'm reaching a point with it where th...

I spaced out and forgot to post these! I had been hoping to do more with the Talita's first Christmas prompt, but I kind of blue-screened on stream trying to figure out how Jovians celebrate Christmas 300 years in the future in space. So she's just in a reusable present box. It probably contained a nice blanket for her that she's totally ignoring.

A reference to a 1924 cover of “La Vie Parisienne” by George Leonnec. It's one of my favorite paintings of all time, so this was inevitable. It kind of ended up kind of like a wholesome version of the seasons greasons art...
The original cover, for the unfamiliar:
The cover critter reference for the upcoming "mythology" volume of Almost Real. It's a descendant of modern marsupials with a "beak" made of thylacoleo-like incisors. The babies have buck teeth with a big gap so they can nurse :B

Thinking about aquatic/patagium winged GMH. I'm probably gonna change the teenager who appears in the comic WIP I posted recently to a cetacean type mermaid like this (sorry for being a mammal apologist). The dragon guy I was drawing while trying to think of how someone with a patagium wing could wear clothes. I think four piercings would make it easier.
There's a bunch of ethical laws a...
Been working on this at the speed of slow, because of end of year comics deadlines and being easily distracted.
The Capital Ball is the district of Nexus Jovia that contains most of the polity's governmental buildings. It's a Bernal Sphere megastructure, so it's relatively small (ha ha), and structured kind of like a looping valley with gradually decreasing gravity the further up the side...

Sketches from trying to figure out more about the group of weirdos working under Talita in the book. The biomodder, Yao, is probably the nicest of the bunch but, maybe a little bit oblivious with a very intense personal aesthetic... the sockets on xer skull are attachment points for bony decorations or mechanical ears with a limited responsive motion range (it's not full nervous wiring). Xe has...

Speaking of bug ferrets, I was developing more of the surface climate for them a while ago. Bug ferrets come from a cold planet with functionally no seasons, so there are a lot of areas that feel like snowy jungles. The lack of yearly disturbance allows the vegetation to very slowly grow dense and huge, despite the freezing temperatures. Most plants past the tropics have noticeable, permanent l...

Painting this is making me realize how little I've drawn bug ferrets recently. Their structure feels less figured out now in comparison to the other aliens. I should make more named ferret characters.

Homeplanet centaur characters from a short story I've not yet had time to work on.

A true return to form on my no-panel-border scribble comics, I banged this out in an hour in a cafe with a stolen ball point pen. Don't @ me about the cooking stuff, I haven't actually designed the kitchen layout for the titular ship yet.

I still don't know how tf to do digital paintings but it has yet to stop me. Gonna keep tweaking this because the skin isn't quite where I want it to be. Blue-tone black in bright lighting is tricky.

First pic, five-year-old Talita's first encounter with her own species. These two are dignitaries visiting Nexus Jovia on political business. I'm planning to do a larger comic around that scene when the Patreon hits the second AMA goal.
Second pic, some common gestures of affection and/or romance between centaurs.

This is how the skyhook and launch loop work in tandem to slow down incoming payloads and accelerate outgoing payloads to higher orbit. Not completely to scale. The launch loop is a couple kilometers high.
