The first few days of artfight 2026

I'm doing ArtFight, but just burnt myself out doing these four for random people.

I have taken a break from my previous colorful painting style, but now I feel guilt simply because I want to paint other people's characters for now! I just wanted a break from the stark black and white.

I seem to feel compulsive guilt and shame for everything in my fucking life. Changing my current art style just to try something different than what's currently on my Instagram, sucks!

So, I can't even feel normal when it comes to doing an older style of mine for some hobbyist art! It's just an art gifting game, it's not meant to make me feel inconsitent and rotten.

I know people love colored characters but all of mine ended up with greyscale reference pictures for now because I didn't want to color them, so naturally people are uninterested in drawing for me. I basically make myself unappealing no matter what I do. I had thought some people might like the monochromatic characters, but ArtFight isn't geared towards that.

As I said, I nearly always consider it a 'break' or 'haitus' when I switch up style. I feel rotten for drawing these four pictures alone, just because it deviates from the hardcore focus I had on LMBOW. That's the point, I burnt myself out with LMBOW. I need a break to do something random and to just LIVE. 

I love LMBOW and it perculates in my mind at all times, I just deserve a break. To engage with other artists in a less narrow minded and narcissitic way. I just want to give people art.

I'm excited for AVCon on Sunday. I am excited about taking my baby daughter, even if she has a meltdown. I just hope I don't incur any snark from antinatalists attending just because I have a baby in tow. She is well behaved as heck.

burnt out

I have been burnt out, but I have faith in god that he will bring me out of this dark time.

why I go by potatge

I was drawing chapter 'Dawn' when I rediscovered a medieval hymn called Lo Boier.

It is about an oxherd whose wife is dying and he listens to her final wishes.

I was betwitched by the line 'te farai un potatge' translating to 'I will cook a potatge for you'. 

Pottage or potatge in old Occitan, meant a stew.

I was struck by the love and kindness the oxherd shows for his wife with that gesture. So this strange new word 'potatge' basically now meant 'love' to me. I chose the old Occitan spelling.

I decided to go by potatge everywhere I could because it captivated me so much!

Also related, I named Joana the same name as the oxherd's wife in the hymn. In short, I am very influenced by the hymn.

There is other super deep meanings I extract from Lo Boier, but they get a bit too surreal to believe, so I won't say them......for now.

chapter 10

New chapter is up. It's about how Muren lost his wings - or well - how they ended up the way they did. 

Very proud to have reached double digits with my chapters! But honestly, I'm just getting started. 

This is just part 1, I may combine the multiple parts onto one HTML page later, but am not super fussed. Whilst it's pretty obvious that I like to edit my site, but I now am trying to keep the structure consistent. I just am focused on producing the best comic I can. If the site is working, that's good enough for me.

unused 'prey' cover

I ended up changing the name of the comic chapter, but this is basically what became the chapter 'mercycurse'. 

I still like the cover.

the passing epochs

I feel the echoes of that kindness you gave to the wandering girl in the desert all those thousands of years ago.

No. It was love. 

She taught you how to love. So you will chase her down across millennia, transcending space-time. Massive distances. For her.

Kentaro Miura...

 You knew this. You taught this.

total time wandered

I thought I was wandering, but the whole story is more complicated than that.

easy read - a poem

Time is God. 

A poem.

Reflected water easy read 

God in the sadness wasted

Time flows onwards faster without you

Death erases flaws inside 

Water easy read easy easy inside you. Joy easy to come by

Truth sadly quits breathing after sexy times

Godly radical destruction far beyond longevity 

Wasted breath in your eyes 

Warm lemon tree farts

Is mom ok?

Yes. No.
