I bought a couple of Jaimie's originals last year and they are SO GORGEOUS in person, and such a steal! Can't wait to get them all framed up 🖤🖤🖤
WHUP I finally started reading Lore Olympus and there's something about those character designs where I just had to sink my teeth into 'em 💖
how do you consistently draw the same character without it looking weird or off every different time?? also how do i coordinate faces, i always make the eyes too far apart or too big or too small or make the mouth too close to the nose or chin edge. If you have any advice I'd really appreciate it since it looks like you have your art shit figured out 🙏
Oh man SO so much of it is just practice, and you're not alone! I honestly think everyone struggles with a sort of "generification" of their characters' features the more they draw them, even seasoned professionals. There's a tendency to just sort of average everything out into an unrecognizable mush over time, and it takes a lot of conscious effort to push back against that.
Here are a couple tips and tricks that I've found to be helpful over the years:
I'd love to pretend there's a magical point where you can just immediately rotate your character's head in your brain like some sort of photorealistic apple in a twitter meme, but a lot of the time it's reference, hard work, and whole lotta repetition. 😐👍🏼
Doesn't your girlfriend have a side account where she draws lesbian pregnancy fetish art?
look I'm single but I fully support my imaginary girlfriend's side hustle, she's just trying to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table 😔🙏🏼
I thought your name was Kurt Hummel I'm so sorry
like... like you thought I was a character on Glee
sometimes the spirit compels you to make a 90's vaporwave fever dream tribute to Myst, and you must listen 📕📘
showing up on Mastodon and having strangers be like "Hey #Newbie did you know you can use #Hashtags for #Discoverability here on #Masto! 😎 There's no #Algorithm so you gotta #Learn how to #GetYourWorkSeen 😜"
like I have been on tumblr for thirteen years my guy I know what I'm doing
happy Friday the 13th to all who celebrate, please enjoy and feel free to use this dumb Jason blob emoji I made for our work slack 😌🙏🏼
Finally got around to uploading my Neopets art stream from Lightbox Expo 2021 with fellow ex-Neopets staff Snarkie (programmer and creative director) and Marissa/SoupFaerie (artist)!
Just a couple hours of sketching while the three of us look through old art and answer behind-the-scenes questions about working in the office. Do we still spell colour with a "u"? Do we have a favourite paintbrush to draw? Is Lord Kass enough of a mammal to have nipples? Who's to say. (We are)
It’s been a bit so in case you missed it elsewhere, Barbarous Chapter 7 is being posted at johnnywander.com right now! It updates Tuesdays and Thursdays, and is completely free to read in its entirety! Drawn by me / written by @ananthhirsh!
⭐️ Read Barbarous from the beginning of chapter 7 here!

Also we have a shop if you ever want to pick up physical copies of our comics!
Barbarous has always been 1000% top notch across the board but this latest chapter is makin’ me FEEL some FEELINGS and I cannot recommend it enough 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
So excited to be doing the new cover for Smut Peddler’s 10th anniversary reissue over at @ironcircuscomics! I am easily swayed by Gibson Girl hair and the chance to do some hand-lettering 👀
Woo, the Smut Peddler/My Monster Girlfriend double-header is LIVE over on Backerkit if you want to pre-order! So dang excited for both of these.
after eight years, I finally updated my huge Historical Fashion Reference & Resources Doc! Now in the form of a MUCH more easily updated Google Doc with better organization, refreshed links, and five more pages of books and online resources.
I know tumblr hates links, but it’s worth it for a doc that I can now update with far more regularity going forward! RIP to the original, you did your duty for far longer than you should have. 😔🙏🏼

A little preview of the new art book for Lightbox! I’ll make sure to list them online once the con is over 👍🏼
So excited to be back in-person at Lightbox Expo later this week! I’ll be at 419 in Artist Alley, dustin’ off the old booth supplies with a new artbook, new prints, blind bags, and maybe even raffling off the chance to get a couple Mondo posters! 👀
Y’ALL WANTED OFMD PRINTS ITS FINALLY HAPPENING
HEYYY the Steam Summer Sale has concluded, so I can finally share all of the fake game art I got to make for it!! Woo
The idea for this sale was to design a bunch of relatively convincing key art to hide in the Steam storefront, but that would be a little weird on second glance—Erik Wolpaw and Jay Pinkerton came up with the names/descriptions for all of Clorthax’s fake games, and then I just tried to match their energy in the final art.
This ended up being a whole lot of work for everyone involved, but it was such a blast! Super fun trying to make plausibly polished logos in a whole bunch of different styles/genres. I hope everyone got a kick out of finding each of these as much as we did making ‘em 😎👍🏼
@g-a-y-g-o-y-l-e asked for all the game descriptions from the sale, so WHY NOT:
It’s Probably Fine You’ve got 37 unpaid parking tickets. You just got pulled over for speeding. In your defense, you were texting your sister about how drunk you are. Plus there’s all that blood on your windshield. Obviously you know it’s deer blood, but the police officers walking toward your vehicle don’t. Still, in the time it takes them to figure that out, maybe you’ll sober up. Or escape on foot! Either way, it’ll probably be fine.
