Tonight I powered up the tablet for the first time since Han died, a little over a month ago. I finally created my comic website the same weekend his health started to fail, out of nowhere. I’ve always struggled with creating art while my mind isn’t in a pretty place, so thank you for bearing with me.
What have I been up to? Well, for once, not working on Black Magic. Not even thinking about it a little bit. I took a much needed holiday in Trigun-land by re-reading the whole series 6 or 7 times in a row. The storytelling and the art style have really inspired me. I feel refreshed and excited to dive back into the world of Black Magic.
If you’re reading this, join me in raising a glass to Han Solo, and thank him for teaching me how to draw fluffy fur.

I started messing with this and it turned into a lighting test for this scene.
The first time I drew this panel… was NINE YEARS AGO. D:

I think I opened this file a few days ago intending to fix Lex’s arm. From there things got out of hand, as they do. Painting on the cintiq is so easy it makes me feel like an anime character who just revealed I was fighting with weights on my arms until now. Ben is as tall as Ella because he’s standing on a box.
Have some bonus Me Posing As Lex.
Of course this also means I’ll have to fix the cover art I last updated in 2023. 😮💨 
Hang in there bud.
“Little help here?” Ben wheezed.
