2025 March Update
So this has been dormant for a while!I'll keep it real. The simple fact is I suck at keeping up with the reward system I set up earlier and I will instead be using this primarily as a tip jar going forward. The only bonus I can reasonably give is access to my discord server, so that's what I'll be doing from now on.Thank you again to everyone who has chosen and continued to give me a small fraction of your money every month. Even a tiny bit helps and lets me know just how much people...
Comic Updates Roundup
I've been trying to get back into art again. I hate being in a creative slump because it's so hard to communicate what it is that's stopping me from making work, I *want* to be making things but it's just not happening sometimes so it gets more frustrating. If I ever find a way to explain it I'll let you know.
Proof that I'm not dead
I'm alive!!! I'm making comics again!!! AAAAA
Fairy Rings Issue 3 Page 10 preview
Have I finally started to work on Fairy Rings again!? Yes!! Yes I have!!! I want to at least work on finishing this issue with Lumomda before I go back to the drawing board and simplify my comic. I have huge ideas, so first I have to write them all down.I hope sharing these things with others on Patreon doesn't deactivate the part of my brain that wants to make this thing exist, because I've flipped and flopped about this for a while and blarg. Anyway I hope you like this page.
Update February 2023
Thank you all so much for sticking with me and continuing to support me financially. I now have two day jobs so I didn't really have a chance to work on anything since the New Year rolled over. I have a lot of things to talk about and update you on. If you are interested in one topic more than another, please use Ctrl+F (Cmd+F on Mac) to jump ahead.Whatever happened to Fairy Rings?After a long time of soul searching and a lot of crying, I have decided Fiary Rings is too big of a project for ...
December 2022
Hello everyone!!I'm currently looking for a day job to help me along while I seek out employment in my chosen field. In the meantime I've been focusing on HSETAU. The current plan is to make a small minigame of Rose exploring a dream bubble, and before that finish up John's segment of the magic training arc. I have made a lot of pictures of the characters in sprite mode for my first foray into GAME DESIGN, and I will share them with you here.
I have made SO many HSETAU panels this month
So here's some of the behind the scenes images I've made of things like backgrounds and sprite assets!
Announcement & Progress painting
Hello everyone!I won't be able to update any of my comics through October I think, because I will be visiting my family in Chile!The painting used for this announcement is not necessarily related beyond being set in Fairy Rings, which itself is inspired by my heritage and experiences visiting Chile and learning about my roots.
Page 7 Print version preview
Hello everyone! I've been very busy working at my current day job, so I haven't made as much progress on this as I would have liked. Every time I make a new page for the webtoon, I design it for print first before reformatting it to webtoon. Please enjoy!
August 2022 Update
GENERAL UPDATEI got a new job as a Teacher's Assistant! I'll be working at a high school, full time 8am to 3pm, so this will impact the amount of time I have available for making comic books. We'll see how often I have free time while at work to make some art, though this will definitely mean comic output will slow down a lot. I plan to make changes so that each update I make feels substantial regardless of wait time.FAIRY RINGSI've been trying to keep up with a weekly upload sch...
Speak For Yourself spread progress
A couple work in progress images for the next two-page spread I'm making for Issue 3! The characters are all done and ready to go, just gotta pretty up the background and add things that help put the characters into the environment.
Update July 2022
Let's get right to it!IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTI'm going on a trip to Sonora, Mexico on the 15th of July, and I won't have my laptop with my while I'm there. Before I leave, I'm gonna try to get my comic updates squared away and scheduled on webtoon.FAIRY RINGSThings I still need to get finished: put the Spanish translation on Gumroad as a PDF (first issue is free still, even in Spanish!), as well as compile the print-friendly PDF of Issue 2 (Post-Post Office). I'm still wor...
Progress Update June 2022
I'm gonna take the time to update you and myself on that work I plan to do for the rest of the month of June!Fairy RingsI'm taking a week break after the upcoming update on the 17th. This means ther will be no public update on June 24th. I will return to weekly updates in July. I had originally thought to put a oneshot in between the two arcs, but in order to make it a oneshot I would need to put the same amount of effort I put into multiple updates and cram it all into one. After mullin...
Bad news.
On June 1, I was approached by a fake hotel company over Instagram that claimed to want me to make them watercolor paintings. This was a scam, and I have been swindled out of my entire checking account balance and my savings are at 0 from the overdraft. I've reported this to my bank and filed three separate claims at the appropriate departments, but it's out of my hands. I am dirt poor for the forseeable future and must now rely on my friends and family to do things such as buy food to e...
Fairy Rings Webtoon updates and plans
I’ve started to post early access to upcoming episodes as patron-only posts. I’m about two episodes ahead right now! I’ll post episode 3 later today. I also think the current arc, Post-Post Office, will end after 5 or 6 episodes. The next arc will be my first attempt at a longer storyline and I’m hoping to expand episode length as well. Let’s see how much I grow over the summer!
Post-Post Office, Part 2 (Early Access)

May 15 2022 Update
I have drawn so many pictures. I've been working on gouon character designs, panels for the upcoming webtoon pages, occasionally some goofy shit... Here's a smattering of what I've made, exclusively for you all!
We got Mermaids
Fairy Rings has a specific location planned where the gravity is so low, and the pull of the center moon is so strong, the ocean's waves can reach all the way into space. The people who live here do have wings, but through the power of evolution, those wings changed shape and became the fins on their feet. The people of this land use their fish fin feet to swim through both ocean water and the air. Since light could come and go at any moment, having bioluminescence was advantageous to their ...
Project Updates May 2022
Hello everyone!Thank you as always for your wonderful support and consistent patience. I honestly could never be able to do this without the assistance you all give me. I can never express enough gratitude, because now...FAIRY RINGS IS LIVE!If you were wondering why I was so quiet over the past school year, this is why. I was able to make my dream come true and bring my story about fairies on a ring shaped planet to life as both a print-friendly comic book and as a webtoon for accessibility.You ...
Fairy Rings full color comic pages part 2
Hello dear Patrons!I'm hard at work making sure my original concept is finished in time for me to graduate from college (finally!!!) so other projects are still on hiatus until then.

Only two more pages to go!
WOW I haven't updated in here in a while
Hey guys!!! I'm so sorry that I've been leaving this site behind. I've been working on my senior thesis at school so it's been draining my batteries like crazy.As a show of good faith and a thank you for your patience with me and willingness to stick with me through this drier spell, here's some images I shared on my discord server a while back. I intend to edit these traditional comic pages for a Webtoon port after I graduate, but for now, enjoy pages 1 and 2 of my original ...
Progress Update August 2021
Hello everyone! Apologies for the lack of info and updates here, I've been very nervous and uneasy lately. Anxious. School's coming on next week so I'm worried I won't be able to update substantially or get everything squared away once school starts up. I've also recently had a personal turmoil that's made it difficult to find the motivation to work on just about anything. With that said, here's what I've got planned.HSETAUDue to personal reasons I stated in the f...

I have a bit more time now to polish up the next bit, which will transition away from Aria and company and moving on to the winner of a Google Form poll: The Egberts! I'm looking forward to working on the broad strokes of it and making the sequence nice and snappy, pacing wise, since now I've got a chance to go back and edit out things that in ret...
