Tori Vega (Victoria Justice’s character) from Nickelodeon’s Victorious. This was originally a lunchtime sketch that I decided to color. I completely forgot what reference I was using for the original sketch, so I was kinda winging her outfit.

Kohaku from Dr. Stone singing “Wrap Me in Plastic” by Chromance. I’ve been listening to the song, like a lot, lately and just had the idea to draw her doing this dance with plastic sheets. I was trying not to make this overly sexy, just more of a flirt with the viewer. I don’t see the original song as too sexy, more like a girlfriend just being cute for her boyfriend.

Okay I’ve been really bad at getting this all out so here’s the last bits of this year’s Mer-May. Of course we were gonna do an Owl House piece with everyone’s favorite couple Luz and Amity. This latest one is some recycled designs from a Mer-May and few years back.

We also got the mermaids from H20, which was a long request by some fans on various social media sites. We also got three original mermaids that were shown a few years ago back in a hot tub. I seriously don’t have a name for these three, I just kinda call them “The Seductive Mermaid Trio.”

And finally, actress/singer Victoria Justice in a live concert under the sea. I’ve got kinda a fondness for Victoria Justice and decided to draw her as a mermaid for this May.

This concludes this year’s Mer-May, but I’ll still be doing more mermaid pictures this year.

This was posted yesterday on the Kalwa website. After a lot of pushing, Kalwa chapter 31 is finally concluded with an eight page update. This is the biggest update I’ve done yet, and it was kinda a push through the week, but it’s finally done. I’ll be turning my attention back towards the Raptor Queen for a bit, but I will start working on the next chapter as soon as possible.

First two pages are down below, click either one to be taken to the rest of the chapter!

Next entry in this year’s Mer-May. It’s my own character Amber, swimming around with some wild life. Sometimes when it comes to drawing Mer-Folk, sometimes even the most simple of activities are a pleasure to draw.

Amber’s got her very own comic right here on this website free to read.

I’ve been slow at getting started with Mer-May this year due to family affairs earlier this month, and the the heavy crunch work on trying to wrap up the latest Kalwa chapter. I’ve got all the drawings penciled, just need to finish them.

Here’s a piece a couple of people have asked me for years to draw. Ariel’s human transformation in the Little Mermaid, I’ve kinda refused to do this scene because honestly it makes me blush. But I saw someone I watch on DeviantArt draw this scene involving other characters so I wanted to try my hand.

Sorry for my lack of updates, I’ve been kinda busy across social media. Well here’s a double Dr. Stone helping, since we are in the final episodes, now is the time to unearth any lingering ideas left for fanart. First up is Kohaku and Hyoga, which I kinda did for a fan on Facebook. She apparently ships these two together, I don’t really get behind the shipping (especially as a self shipper with Kohaku, I’d get jealous, tee hee). But this is a good middle ground to do a her a favor.

Next is a crossover between Senku and Makoto Shishio from Ruroni Kenshin. This is a crossover pairing that I think is too perfect. Senku, a man whose dedicated his whole life to the idea of science, meets Shishio, a man who defies that very principle. Shishio is a man who was burned head to toe, and yet somehow gained near supernatural powers. This kind of idea would truly leave Senku dumbstruck, forcing him to question everything he knows.

Another update to Kalwa chapter 31, this week we’re doing four pages because they required a lot of details. Next batch will feature more pages I promise.

Anyway, we’re doing a bit of Finland culture this chapter, with the famous Helsinki Festival. It’s a real life festival held in Finland around the start of summer and we’re spreading some word on it. First page is down below, click it to see the rest of the pages on the Kalwa website.

It’s a double dose of Kohaku from Dr. Stone. We got the final original idea I had for the Kohaku POV series and another mermaid Kohaku. This Kohaku POV piece has been on my back burner for so long, but I finally decided to get it done with the final part of the Dr. Stone anime starting up.

Honestly, it’s now hitting me that we are on the final lap of Dr. Stone episodes and it’s making me really sad. Drawing Kohaku and other Dr. Stone characters has essentially been a labor of love on my end. Every time I walk around Fan Fusion here in AZ, I see thousands of drawings based off Dragon Ball, Attack on Titan, Dandadan is getting up there, but BARELY anything on Dr. Stone (in fact none at all). So Dr. Stone has always been my personal little quest while the rest of the world looks elsewhere. In fact while everyone was gushing over the final episodes of AOT, I was falling in love with Dr. Stone season 1.

That being said, I’ve noticed that Dr. Stone art has shot up in popularity when new episodes are on. Something that’s about to end. Most likely I’ll do more Dr. Stone art in the future, but I don’t know how many people will care then. It may just be me picking at rock because I want to. That’s kinda the struggle of being me as an artist. Other draw what the world wants, I draw what I want.
