Here's the comic I made for War Never Changes, a Fallout charity zine that's still available to puchase digitally here: link.

The captions are lyrics from Autopsy Garland by the Mountain Goats. I've been dreaming of making this for literal Years, and the mods for the zine let me do it for them! I'm still pretty proud of it, and only regret that I completely forgot to replace Col. Hsu with General Lee Oliver in the final. Sorry man.

MY fo1 stickers I made for the charity fallout zine I'm in! All profit will all go to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund. Etsy listing here: link.

I also designed the below washi tape and I'll have a SIX page comic in the main zine! (you'll never guess). But aside from me, there's a TON of other, even cooler merch and a ton of incredible artists in the zine itself.

Chapter 2 of my Hawke's letters during inquisition! | AO3 Link

This one is a letter from my Hawke (purple mage fenrismancer) left to my friend's inquisitor (Rogue Lavellan almost-josie-mancer). They got along really well really fast and in our canon Hawke made the choice for her and stayed behind in the fade. This is his letter to her in the event he didn't make it.

It’s not your fault. 

There it is! The only thing I have to say for myself in the event that I don’t make it back from any of the hundreds of things we might do and whatever number of things we may fight over my stay here with the Inquisition. I hope you never have to read this, but I also hope that if you do, you’ll listen to me. It’s not your fault. Okay?

I know what it’s like to be put on some sort of pedestal. A hero of myth and legend and all that, when you boil them down a bit, turn into just another person with just another life who are forced to solve - or make - problems far beyond their ken. (Although, if I’m honest with you, Varric was much less effective at making a hero out of me as the Inquisition does you. Which must only make it harder.) 

So many people died in the mess that I and the people I love made - some I know about and others I’ve never even heard of. I ruined people on purpose and I ruined people on accident. I decided things for people I’d never met without even knowing their names. I know how huge and overwhelming it is to feel responsible for a city, let alone a whole world. But just because we can’t help but step on people doesn’t mean you stepped on me. I walked in with my eyes wide open. I always do. 

Some of my artfights for this year! The first is based off of Wilhelm Pantomime's costume design work from 1890-1910s - both in pose and outfit/fabric. The rest are all from my brain + the character designs.

Characters belong to, in order of appearance: @melonsheepspookz , TiramisuTerror on instagram, @bhaalbitch + @aaitwo , and _bagn0 on instagram.
