Through 4 panels, an armored alien princess holding a glowing crystal, flies through darkness surrounded by energy.

The princess arrives surrounded by a fiery red haze as the crystal gradually builds in energy--ready to explode.

Just wrapped up final art for the first 12 pages of my comic--Star Wielder.

Here's a preview.

This book is gonna be 54 pages of story, soooo I still have a ways to go. But I'm celebrating this milestone.

A powerful princess on the run.

#StarWielder

I'm here for it and whatever support they need.

A larger bodied woman in a gold mask with gold armor and blue-clothes with a glowing blue arm holding a glowing crystal. There's electric-like energy surrounding her. Behind her is swarming darkness with red scar faces made of just eyes and gaping mouths.

Wrapping up this page from my comic, Star Wielder #1. I'm really proud of it. It features Kieshuana, an alien princess, political refugee, and one of the key protagonists from the first issue.

A fully-covered larger bodied, alien princess adorned in golden armor and mystic wear, wields a blue spirit left arm while a glowing and energized crystal floats above her left hand. Her hair is long and dark red, behind her is a glowing yellow light. She's surrounded by sparks of energy.

What happens when a powerful princess plagued with a life of abuse under her tyrannical mother, escapes her realm with the Empress' most powerful weapon—a primordial crystal—accidentally landing in Detroit during the 1967 uprising?

Find out in Star Wielder #1 --Coming Spring '26

Ad for semaglutide about how skinny’s can use it too.

I want one of these ads to finally just pop up and say “hey fatty pig piggy fat fat, inject this to stop being so fat. Even if you’re not fat you actually are, so do it fatty. Love, your bestie 🥺🫵🐷🐽🐖”

Three people stand in front of a temple with a scarab sculpted around the entrance. All are in ancient Egyptian dress. The man is at the front of the group wearing the war crown of ancient Egypt. The other two are women. One looks haughty while the other looks forlorn.

A force of warriors in ancient egyptian armor charge toward the viewer. The man in center front is yelling and is thrusting his sword forward. He wears a golden scale armor top and a white kilt with a sash that hangs down the front. His headdress is red. The men to his sides scowl aggressively at the enemy. Two of the opposing army are in the extreme foreground and are shocked by their postures.

A young woman stands underwater, holding a large golden heart in her hands. Her hair is braided and floating. She wears a beaded red headdress that hides the top of her face and a making necklace that covers her chest. She wears a long wrap skirt. A large fish swims behind her.

Four older women in their fifties stand menacingly on a staircase. The closest on the left is in a pink shirt and jeans, holding a gun. She has white hair, fair skin and green eyes.The woman on the right is of persian decent and is holding magical fire in her left hand. The next closest on is Black with a blue shirt and jeans.  She's adjusting her glasses. The woman farthest away is grinning wildly up with an orange aura around her.

A small preview into the first issue of my comic so far, Star Wielder. Still a work in progress.

Ever since the Kickstarter for my comic ended successfully I've been hard at work amping up my pages.

Having a bit more financial security allows me to not rush through the process while working more intentionally and consistently.

Here's the first four pages for reference.

Working on my comic #StarWielder

Know what creates empathy? Books. Reading about people unlike ourselves and experiences we'll never have. Which is why some people want to remove those books and discourage reading. Kids and adults should read widely. Most spend their spare time online, which is where indoctrination often begins.

After Charlie Kirk's death, teachers and professors nationwide fired or disciplined over social media posts At least a dozen faculty and staff have faced fallout over insensitive comments online.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

Concept art and redesigns of the main cast of my comic.

What happens when a mother & daughter living and surviving on the streets of Detroit during the 1967 Uprising crosses paths with a powerful alien princess trying to escape her own oppression while bringing magic and hope to the resilient city?

For #PhDLife … I’m not into gatekeeping lol. It’s never that serious.
