Jump Base Tiamat was as lively as Seoul, but without the neon, the pollution, the hustle, the haves and the have-nots. People on their work details staffed distribution centers, worked on the gardens, ran cafes and bakeries and hole-in-the-wall restaurants specializing in one or two dishes cooked...

No information in the Confluence was truly secret, but intense quantum encryption was used to ensure that unwanted p...

The only way down was the ramp. There was no doubt in my mind that the necromass of the demon was in there, underground. The surface of the concrete had been scoured, all signs of life burned away. No moss, no dirt, no graffiti. The faint scrape of my boots on the smooth surface seemed to echo to...

My muscles slumped as the paralytics hit. On trained reflex, I slammed my emergency button: a preprogrammed, time-delayed antidote to the Violator husk’s poison. Weakness spread through my body in waves, hand shaking as I braced it up against his chest to push him away. He held onto me,...

2024-12-17 20:06:05 +0000 UTC View PostI need to make an honest apology to you all. It's been two years since Archemi #6 was published, and I still don't have Book 7. For that, I am deeply sorry.
I believe strongly that when someone reads my work, I am making an implicit contract with them to finish that work. You're sticking yo...

I've shared bits and pieces of Host Club here and on Patreon, but here's the Patreons-only preview of the full chapter.
This is a fairly short webtoon: only 4 chapters. I'm teaching myself the format because I envision both streams of Voidhunter (Lightbringer and Harbinger) being published...
I'm starting to assemble panels in webtoon format. The butt panel isn't all the way done, but I wanted to see how it looked in the vertical structure.
I honestly enjoy this format more than the manga/comic style layout, because the verticality gives you a lot of flexibility in how to link p...

After several weeks of banging my face against Archemi 7, I've made a bit of a breakthrough. Excited to start sharing some of that soon. Sorry it's taken a while, but I definitely have a Process(tm) between books where I just Can't. That period is frustrating, and requires what amounts to a lot o...

I'm deep into Archemi #7 now, and have finally started to draw again. I found myself sketching the Mercurions of Archemi, definitely some of the most fun characters in the series to draw.
