Given that I want more polished work to show up here, I'm gonna put some of my rougher stuff on Tumblr. That's right, I now have a Tumblr to show off my WIP stuff before I ink and color it here. Feel free to comment and follow if you wish!

Oh wow...it's been way too long since I last updated hasn't it? So sorry about the dust! Much has been going on in my life so far!

Have you been reading the #Alternate-Etherium story? What do you think of it?
lovely gallery Rikun *
hello have you ever been to a Sketchbomb event?
This may sound like a strange question, but did you post a comment under the fanfic Time Lords and Terror?
Please answer back if it's not too much trouble.

Yes I did! Why do you ask?
Hephestus here! I couldn't figure out how to PM you from your Blogger profile, so I did a little lurking and found your page! Yeah, so I would be overjoyed if you ever wanted to throw together an episode title card or something. So if you still want to let's correspond through DA or would you rather have my email?
