I hate asking for help again. But I just received a $1300 bill for the anesthesia from my surgery last year, which is on top of being shy on my rent tomorrow. If anyone has got anything to spare⦠I would really appreciate some help.

Corsica the vampire opens wide to give Lillian the elf a good look at her pearly white teeth. Lillian leans in, seemingly unafraid of a bite... or the possible halitosis that comes from drinking a lot of blood.
Hey White Ash Fans, you ever wonder what Lillian would say if she met a vampire? Well wonder no longer, it's crossover time. Lillian's heading to Chicago for a quick, one-page meet-up with Sink Your Teeth In's Corsica Smith, the Windy City's #1 Vampire detective.
How can you get this story, well...

I went to a protest in New York City today and three Proud Boys were circulating among the crowd pretending to be members of the press (or maybe influencers) interviewing individual protestors. But espionage is not their forte; one was wearing a body cam and a "PB" patch.
Stay vigilant, people.

Jason Vorhees from Friday the 13th in his original costume - Plaid Shirt, Overalls and a Hessian Bag over his head with a single eye hole cut in it. I am pencilled, inked and coloured this one in clip studio, and used Affinity Photo for a couple of final adjustments.
Ellen Ripley armed with an assault rifle in a hallway full of Xenomorph Eggs. This is a digital pen and ink styled drawing that I coloured in Clip Studio Paint.
And these are a couple of illustrations that I have worked on in their entirety - the line art credits for the previous art are in the next post.
The line is by comic artist Marc Silvestri and inker Matt Banning. The original art was completed traditionally. I coloured it digitally using Rebelle for the background and Clip Studio for the characters. The Darkness is coming out of a wall of darkness, surrounded by his Darklings.
This is a traditional pencil drawing by Yan_Artcomic, with inks by David A Rivera - I coloured it in Clip Studio, with some minor enhancements in Affinity Photo. The image is of a Xenomorph from Aliens perched on a rocky outcrop. Behind it I added a toxic green cloud environment.
Psylocke attacking Nimrod, and Iceman crashes through a window to help. This a sequential page with pencils and inks by Terry and Rachel Dodson. Digital coloring by me with Clip Studio Paint.
Scarlet Spider stabs Wolverine in the chest and stands over his body as we lies unconscious on the floor. The other X-Men watch on in horror.
#PortfolioDay is upon us! I am a Comic Colourist based in Australia - I am currently very open for new gigs, and would love to hear from anyone looking for a Colorist and Illustration.
