Just wrapped up final art for the first 12 pages of my comic--Star Wielder. Here's a preview. This book is gonna be 54 pages of story, soooo I still have a ways to go. But I'm celebrating this milestone.

Through 4 panels, an armored alien princess holding a glowing crystal, flies through darkness surrounded by energy. The princess arrives surrounded by a fiery red haze as the crystal gradually builds in energy--ready to explode.

Wrapping up this page from my comic, Star Wielder #1. I'm really proud of it. It features Kieshuana, an alien princess, political refugee, and one of the key protagonists from the first issue.

A larger bodied woman in a gold mask with gold armor and blue-clothes with a glowing blue arm holding a glowing crystal. There's electric-like energy surrounding her. Behind her is swarming darkness with red scar faces made of just eyes and gaping mouths.

What happens when a powerful princess plagued with a life of abuse under her tyrannical mother, escapes her realm with the Empress' most powerful weapon—a primordial crystal—accidentally landing in Detroit during the 1967 uprising? Find out in Star Wielder #1 --Coming Spring '26

A fully-covered larger bodied, alien princess adorned in golden armor and mystic wear,  wields a blue spirit left arm while a glowing and energized crystal floats above her left hand.  Her hair is long and dark red, behind her is a glowing yellow light. She's surrounded by sparks of energy.

I want one of these ads to finally just pop up and say “hey fatty pig piggy fat fat, inject this to stop being so fat. Even if you’re not fat you actually are, so do it fatty. Love, your bestie 🥺🫵🐷🐽🐖”

Ad for semaglutide about how skinny’s can use it too.

Ever since the Kickstarter for my comic ended successfully I've been hard at work amping up my pages. Having a bit more financial security allows me to not rush through the process while working more intentionally and consistently. Here's the first four pages for reference. #StarWielder

Know what creates empathy? Books. Reading about people unlike ourselves and experiences we'll never have. Which is why some people want to remove those books and discourage reading. Kids and adults should read widely. Most spend their spare time online, which is where indoctrination often begins.

Concept art and redesigns of the main cast of my comic. What happens when a mother & daughter living and surviving on the streets of Detroit during the 1967 Uprising crosses paths with a powerful alien princess trying to escape her own oppression while bringing magic and hope to the resilient city?
