Making a genderless godlike character for the book Dark Soldier is fantastic. It puts so many people on edge. They ask: “Is it male or female?” I reply, “No.”

What are your biggest dreams?

My biggest dream is to be a light to people who’ve been in a dark place like I have. I was in a really, really dark place during most all middle school and most of high school. I didn’t fully give myself to Christ till age 15. That’s why I draw dark things, write dark stories, because it’s what I would have read and viewed. I still like to read and view these kinds of things.

But I always put a light in the midst of the darkness, because there is. But that light is so, so hard to see when you’re in it unless you’re told otherwise by someone who’s gone through it already.

No matter what I do later in life, I’d like to reflect that light to the ones who need it most, and maybe, just maybe, they can do the same for someone else.

A sketch I may eventually finish.

Finally completed the hair for one of my drawings. After 4+ hrs I can officially say I hate curly hair right now. At very least I hate drawing it.

I drew a really cool video-game-esque character but then realized I drew it on lined paper and have no idea how to make a video game.
.__.

Yes, I do more than writing.

Pre-painting sketch for “Scars”. I will need a live model eventually, but for now I’m just very proud of my piece.

Two original character sketches for my upcoming webcomic “Mister Jack”. 

On top, Tsuyoshi, the main character’s best friend and a vampire (specifically a kyonshi). If you don’t think a vampire wearing a “give blood” hoodie is hilarious, you can get outta my face. He’s been around a couple centuries but does his best to keep up with the latest style. And most certainly just doesn’t like to shut up.

On bottom, Jack, the main character, who is neither dead or alive due to a curse he placed on himself. After wandering the earth a few decades, he decided to become a private eye for supernatural creatures. As he is a completely new kind of supernatural creature, he has some very strange abilities up his sleeve.

I’m planning to have the webcomic come out early October. Watch for it!!

Fan Art!

I officially have my first piece of fan art! One of my fans on Tumblr heard about a certain character, new to draft two of the novel, who goes by the name of Addom. He heard about it mainly because it’s the character he asked me to make for him, but that’s not the point. The point is that I feel super awesome because I have FAN ART!

I’m not putting this up on any other network, just to you WordPress followers. That’s because I want the main audience to see my illustrator’s stuff, and the fan art later. But now that I’ve whet your appetites, here is Addom, done by theangelstarot on Tumblr.

Not quite what I imagined for the character, but it is, after all, up to the reader’s imagination. The things that are described in the book are the spiked mohawk-like hair, the freckles, the scarring on the side of the face, and the moon tattoo below Addom’s neck, as shown in the upper left. Another characteristic not seen in the image is that Addom is a redhead. That’s all for today, folks!

That’s all for today, folks! For illustrator images and writing updates, be sure to follow us on the novel’s Facebook page, the author’s Facebook page, and on Twitter!

blackwingedgabriel I drew you a thing. I have something with a jacket too but I can’t draw full body very well so idk if I’ll post it.

Awesomeness! So that people know what’s going on, theangelstarot was made into a character for my upcoming fantasy novel Dark Soldier. Of course I said yes. I haven’t sent the description to the illustrator yet, but theangelstarot has taken it upon himself to do it before she does. And it’s SA-WEET.
