Cosmic Cadets: Accused is out today! Yay! Here are a bunch of drawings of the kids!
Intelligence is knowing every sword form, strike and stance there is. Wisdom is knowing that sword it too big for the little ones. Colors are a bit of a mess.

With the dwarven ties to ancestry and being a refugee and a person who communicates with spirits all painted a really sad tale. And the charisma dump and he'd be so depressing. #art #pathfinder #dnd
I was so happy rolling poppet and then a threads witch. I'm playing a poppet right now in a campaign and they are so unsettling. It's fantastic. #art #dnd #pathfinder #poppet #witch
Trying out something new. I saw a video on tiktok of a guy drawing randomized DnD characters. I'm doing the same thing with Pathfinder. It was a lot of fun. #dnd #art #pathfinder

This is Delarax! From Ben and my new comic coming out Dec9, Cosmic Cadets: ACCUSED! I love drawing his dumb face so much. @topshelfcomix.bsky.social #art #comic #cosmiccadets
These two are cursed for me. They were the first characters I drew, but the video was lost. And then, here, my camera over heated and stopped recording twice. And then I forgot to post it yesterday. Enjoy #startrek #art #lowerdecks
When a surrealism is the most real. These birds are great. #art #tucaandbertie #speckle
Another request! Touta Matsuda from Death Note. I am very happy with this. I drew Ryuk for Death Note earlier because he has a more interesting character design. But this goofball. In a cast full of overly serious intellectuals, this one was the best. #art #anime #deathnote #toutamatsuda
Benoit Blanc from The Knives Out movies in his fantastic swimming costume. I am so excited for the next one coming out. #benoitblanc #art #wakeupdeadman

Cosmic Cadets is everything I want in a 'kids off on their own' sci-fi adventure story." -Mike Maihack, Cleopatra in Space, Spiderman: A Might Marvel Team-Up
Cleopatra in Space is one of my favorite series, so you know I lost it just a little bit when @mikemaihack.com called #CosmicCadets "everything I want in a sci-fi adventure story."
Book 2 is out next month!

Two Predators for you. I drew one for a charity art auction at Heroes Con last year. I don't have a video of it, but drawing that first one really wanted me to make a index card version. I miss that first piece. It was big. #art #predator
Spoilers for Frosthaven. This was one of the absolutely most fun classes to play for me. He was such a beast! #art #frosthaven #boardgames
The Mindthief from Gloomhavem, my husband and my other most played game. We like out co-ops. #art #gloomhaven #boardgame
Some spirits from the boardgame "Spirit Island". Probably my partner and my most played game. #spiritisland #art #boardgame
I had way too much fun making this little promotion. But yes, Cosmic Cadets: Accused is coming out next month!! Here are some pages. I think Priscilla Tramontano's colors are just extraordinary. #art #cosmiccadets #comics @idwpublishing.com @bencranewrites.com
