An illustration taken from my newly christened blog header (featuring my also new persona).

In continuing with my slow transition to building up what I admire as a sense of “mysteriousness and anonymity” as far as my appearance and actual artist identity are concerned on the internet: I’ve been sketching a new persona for myself that I’ll use for depicting myself in any media from now on.
Another illustration from my concept called “West” (I’ve done others, which can be found in my archives).
The man to the left is known as “Mr. Mojave” and the gal on the right is named “Shiharizati”. In the story of “West” they both personify good and evil, though it’s meant to be ambiguous which represents which. They can’t destroy one another and only exist to keep the other in check. They influence the main and supporting characters through the story and appear to face off against each other in the climax.
For those of you who might have only found me through tumblr, I have a (currently on hiatus) web-comic called “Step-Monster” on my Deviantart. It centers around a monster named Matilda who lives in a boy’s closet and ends up legally taking over as him and his older sister’s step-mother while their real single-mom is away in court-appointed rehab. Throw in an ex-child services agent named Roy who ends up dating Matilda and becoming the weird father figure and you have a pretty crazily stitched together family of sorts!
The whole first volume (4 chapters in all) can be read here in my gallery: http://toxictoothpick.deviantart.com/gallery/23893207
On of the big things I like playing with in stories is character dynamics in couples. Eddie and Sawyer personify that pretty well.
They’re from a story concept involving the human Eddie getting thrown into an inter-dimensional prison of sorts (explaining the monitoring collars in the first picture and Eddie’s clothes) full of all sorts of strange beings, where the slime-girl ends up falling for him hardcore. One of the subplots is them and the shenanigans of their “unconventional” relationship.
Burning Heat: Is a story concept of mine involving a special unit of psychic police officers Miami, Florida. Centered on two partner detectives named Larke Hernandez and Rocco Reeves, it follows them tracking down a dangerous ex-officer who’s pyrokinetic and might have a connection to all the cases of “spontaneous human combustion” that’s been striking politicians, judges, and other officials in the city one-by-one.
Also, Rocco wears a unit regulation helmet cause his psychic powers are so strong, they register out of the “safe zone”. He has to keep it on so he won’t explode innocent’s brains nearby when he’s using his powers in the line of duty.
Everyone’s favorite vampire Camilla taking a seat and enjoying a break from her travels. Living for about two thousand years gives you a LOT of time to see the world. Also, she’s much stronger than your “traditional” vampire, so walking around in the sunlight does next to nothing to her as long as she wears some SPF sunscreen.
Also that’s uhhhh fruit punch in that glass…yeah lets go with that…
“One bored artists’s quest to test the weight limit designs of one of his characters.“
I’ve named her Monroe and I’m still working out the basics to the story I’ll build around her since I just sketched her up today. I’m planning on working in a reason though for her fluctuating waistline (it involves eating, big surprise there) .The other girl at the bottom is just another character from the same concept/universe named Agatha.
“Beware the Chimera of Dalson Wood,
Take heed of my word you surely should
When Fall kisses the trees and the leaves turn red,
not from cold but of man who is freshly dead
Run as fast as you can from the wood my friend,
or at her teeth you will meet your end.”

An image from a story concept of mine called “Chimera”. The guy is named Duke and the monster sneakin’ behind him is named Julia. As shown here, though they become fast friends later on they don’t really get along well at the beginning (due to what she’d probably describe as “food-chain” issues).
“Is there any a purer love than that between a giant fat alien dragon thing, and his adoptive scientist father who found him as a baby in his crashed pod up in the arctic circle?”
Of course there isn’t! And so is the tale of these two characters from a concept of mine. The alien is named Fresno and his father is a scientist named Dr. Sasha Roman. Despite his size and look Fresno’s got the mentality of a home-schooled 15 year old, he’s the nicest guy you’ll ever meet, and he loves to make new friends!. Unfortunately for him…most people don’t wanna meet him cause he looks like he’ll eat them.
Two characters from a one-shot comic called “Ring of Fire” I’m doing for a special zine in the near future! It might blossom beautifully into an ongoing story but let’s not get ahead of ourselves too soon! More will be revealed later but it involves: Texas Rangers, giant oil rig-cities, muder and corruption, and shark people. These two are named Cassidy and Palmer.
Hey, its everyone’s favorite demon girl Fiori! And she’s back in her own finished illustration now instead of just some random sketches. Despite how nice and sweet she is, being a demon I’m sure she still says creepy/cryptic stuff like that from time to time out of instinct.
A furry girl I made up. Didn’t bother to be specific species wise haha, she’s just a “something”. I imagine her name’s Elliot. She’s really easy going, and she probably think’s you’re pretty rad!
More of my 2,000 year old vampire character: Camilla. Originally I had her hair colored blonde back when I still couldn’t decide, but it looks waaaaaay better white/silver. Also wanted to experiment with panel boarders vs. panel subjects.
Its good to note, that as a vampire she’s closer to a leech or a lamprey than a bat. Also according to this comic, she likes her privacy when she’s eating. ITS RUDE TO STARE PEOPLE.
Would you look at that! More colored art finally!
Here we have a group of characters from a concept of mine called “West”. Its got its various twists and turns, but boiled down its a standard adventure comic. This is the main group of the story:
Amelia Eastwood (bottom): Human/Deputy Sheriff. Fights using a kicking-focused martial arts style called “Desert Hawk”, doesn’t take your shit and won’t tolerate jokes about her hair. Favorite word in the dictionary is “Justice”.
Sherwood Baker (left): Jackalope/Preacher. Can run and jump faster than anyone in the west, but prefers not to fight and simply do “God’s Work”. Sometimes this means roughing someone up though.
Maria Alonzo (top): Human/Necromancer. Eccentric and somewhat creepy necromancer who can raise brightly colored skeletons of various sizes to do her bidding. Can also see and talk to ghosts on occasion.
Jodi (right): Pinata/Shape-shifter. Member of a race of pinata people who can shape-shift into various creatures (or mimic the appearances of specific people). Literally full of candy rather than organs, don’t try and break her open though. She’ll sit on you.
Running Elk (center): Human/Rain-dancer. Native American boy who has a distinct and special connection with nature, especially the weather. Is rather timid and shy. Cloud he rides corresponds to his mood so be nice to him!
