Image is for extra outfits for Ke'lan in upcoming chapters. I think I'm gonna change up the gi design, though, as it doesn't totally fit his attitude. I think he'd prefer to be in a more cyberpunky martial arts outfit, if he has to wear one at all.
It's crazy to think how many revisions XGR has gone through, just from the concept & layouts phase to now. Being flexible & willing to adjust things when better ideas come around is essential to effective storytelling. & it's a skill you can't get by relying on generative AI slop. #comics #manga
1 page and 1 panel left to ink!!!
After today's / tonight's inks, the pilot chapter of my CYBERPUNK BATTLE MANGA will only have 2 pages left to ink.
After that, it's onto the remaining COLOR PAGES!
What REWARDS would you wanna see for the KICKSTARTER? #manga #comics #amine
Had to restart my computer, live again doing inks and shadow fills for XGR Page 26, 32, and 33. Potential spoilers for the pilot chapter, and possible lore dumps. #comics #manga #anime #streaming

Going live, potential spoilers for the XGR Pilot Chapter, as I'll be doing corrections, lettering fixes, and shadow fills before getting into inks on Pages 32 and 33 later. #manga #comics #streaming #art

My ADHD has been out of control the last few weeks, and I'm pretty sure it's my nervous system rejecting everything the regime is selling.
Every time Trump is clipped saying something stupid, I want to vomit.
How pathetic is Trump that he can't even get his own corrupt Supreme Court to go along with his scam?
Here's one of my favorite action pages from the opening fight, where two of our main characters meet for the first time (It's the energy blast into head stomp that does it for me).
More info soon! (There's a longer post on my Facebook Author Page if you follow me there).
So, I'm almost 50% the way through illustrating the XGR: A Cyberpunk Battle Manga Pilot Chapter!
I was told not long ago, that the time to Kickstart your thing is when you've brought it 1/4th the way to the finish line.
Holy hell, it's time for a Kickstarter! #manga #anime #cyberpunk
New book review: Cthulhu: Grimoire by @ericmalikyte.bsky.social
A horror novel that ticked all the boxes for me. The story moves fast, does justice to Lovecraftβs lore, and the authorβs writing captures the harrowing existential dread of cosmic horror beautifully. π§΅

WTF, Bluesky? This is "adult content?" This shit's not even as violent as some Dragon Ball panels.
Something I've been cooking up. I think these are some of the best pages/panels I've done.
Kickstarter info coming soon. #comics #manga #cyberpunk
The latest Cthulhu: Grimoire review is in! βββββ
We know that 4more children from Liam's school are still in ICE custody in TX. But we still do not know how many children from MN in total have been detained by ICE.
π¨BREAKING: An eyewitness to Border Patrol murdering Alex Pretti:
"As a United States military veteran trained in counterinsurgency and detainee operations, from my perspectiveβAlex was not resisting. What I saw disgusted me, it made me sick to my stomach!" LIVE NOW β¬οΈ
And I think it also contradicts the raving lunacy that he posted on his Truth Social account after her murder.
(FYI, the new cover won't be published until this weekend, since I painted it last night) books2read.com/u/mdRa0W?for...
With the weekend winter storm threatening us with mountains of snow and ice, it might be the perfect time to break out that copy of Mind's Horizon that's been sitting on your shelf!
Fun fact, I started writing the book during a blizzard in 2016 (pics from a simpler time, oh how naive I was).
Thank you!
So...uh... I painted another Mind's Horizon cover (I also painted another one before this and after the first one I revealed at the beginning of January, but let's not talk about that)!
Yes, I know, I'm insane. But, shit, look at the results!
Should be hitting stores sometime over the weekend!
Amazon's whole Ask This Book feature is absolute bullshit. Now readers can just ask the AI what the book is about, who a certain character is, & it will just make up an answer.
If it becomes commonplace, we'll have a whole generation of readers who won't question what AI says about our work.
I'll keep that in mind, thank you!
You can grab the first two books in the OEI Archives series, Mind's Horizon and Cthulhu: Grimoire, with the links in the replies below this one.
I'm looking to launch Book III in October of this year, so keep your eyes pealed if you want to jump on the E-ARC campaign later this year once the other phases of editing are done, including a round with beta-readers!
I did have another cover concept that I may show off later as a bonus, but ultimately, I felt like it wasn't turning out the way I wanted.
I seem to be getting better at making these, since this only required a few thumbnails before I began executing it.
