Probably shared these before, but damn I forgot how much I put into the 3rd chapter and then had to stop. :') SOON!✨

✨COMIC UPDATE!✨

Life has been busy the last few months but in a VERY good way. Last year with the strikes was one of the most difficult years of my life since my Mother passed away. So for the last several weeks, I've been working, saving, rebuilding, visiting family, and honestly....just sorta of taking the time to enjoy being able to breathe again. That being said, with working again I've definitely had to put personal projects on the backburner. But, admittedly, it was nice to be able to give myself a mental break from hyper-focusing on one story so I could come back with a fresh set of eyes. But I just wanted to check in to say that I WILL be starting up posting again in AUGUST! I really do appreciate the understanding.

UNTIL THEN! ✨

『 👀』

Been super busy, but I'm making progress where I can!✨

『 Life can get a little prickly.』

Especially for those who always seem to have a flicker of sadness in their eyes. I'm making progress through this busy work schedule, slowly but surely!✨

『 Well-meaning sisters and misunderstood siblings.』

Coloring page 7/10 of the 3rd Chapter of my Encanto x Road to El Dorado comic, ‘The Thief and the Prophet’. PS. My schedule is about to get super busy (but for very good reasons.) Going to do my best to finish this Chapter as quickly as possible! ✨

『The cloaked man and the con artist.』

Still coloring away the 3rd Chapter of my Encanto x Road to El Dorado comic, 'The Thief and the Prophet'. Bruno isn't the only one nervous and confused.🌀

『Old friends and new ones...』 Sometimes, in the midst of the stress and pressure Bruno feels, he remembers that there was once a genuine friendship. And that's a comforting thought.

Feliz día de San Valentín! 💚💜

『 There was a time where there were more smiles then frowns.』 Still coloring away at my Chapter 3! There's so many cute interactions I'm looking forward to sharing.

What's fun without a few awkward moments...?✨

『Work on keepin' your cool...』 Been making lots of progress on inking the pages! I really love the scenes between Bruno and Ascensión / Bruno and Chel.

All three of them prefer to lay low.✨

UPDATE: HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I'm sick...(getting better tho) I'm just getting back to LA from the holidays and I've been really sick the last few days. 2023 has been one of the most difficult years of my life, especially in the working world of animation. I spent the past three weeks trying to reset, spend time with family, and center myself to hopefully have a fresher start in 2024. Next week I'll be back working on Chapter 3. I'm about 45% finished and was making a lot of timely progress before the holidays!✨

👤 WINTER DAY NYC 🎵 1999 ⏪ ▶️ ⏩ It's something magical when snow falls in the big apple. 「 Kuzco's been cut off from his family's billion-dollar empire until further notice, so he wasn't pleased when his girlfriend Malina (Emperor's new school), who works as secretary in Manhatten, volunteered him pick up the tab for everyone.

Luigi and Audrey go way back. They have a friendly rivalry between their businesses in Brooklyn. They bond over being the babies of the family and having two highly competitive older siblings. Rumor has it, though, that, despite constantly going back and forth, Luigi's older brother might have had a thing for Audrey's older sister. But you didn't hear that from either of them. The city can be tough, but Bruno can't imagine anywhere else feeling as much like home. He's connected to the pulse of New York, from the towering sky scrapers to the crawling rats in the sewers (why should they worry?) It took some time to get used to it, especially for Chel, who's terrified of rats. But Bruno has a way of making them seem more pleasant, so Chel now tolerates them. That's if she ever has a second away from her phone. If it's not work calling, it's her boyfriend, Tulio. 」 『SUMMER IN NEW YORK』

『Visions of the past....』

Some more colored panels from the flashback in Chapter 3 of Thief and the Prophet. The atmosphere is such a refreshing change. It isn't just Bruno's memories that are painful.

Happy New Year!✨

『She's got a bit if history...』 Some colored panels from the flashback in Chapter 3 of Thief and the Prophet. I'm BEYOND excited for these pages. I just love the tone and atmosphere!

Merry Christmas Eve✨

『Thick as thieves!』

Playful WIPS from Chapter 3 of my crossover comic The Thief and the Prophet. Having a little fun referencing some 1950's fashion!

Gonna be sharing the coloring I have done soon!✨

『Familiar faces, familiar places.』

Fun expressive WIPS from Chapter 3 of my crossover comic The Thief and the Prophet. I got to have a little fun referencing the music and cinema from the early 1950's in this next chapter.

Both Bruno and Chel bump into someone from their past.✨

『(no) PRESSURE!』

Making some great progress with my comic The Thief and the Prophet. Gonna hold off a little longer before showing the colored pages. But I'm excited to finally add a little touch of casita! This chapter is filled with sisters and parallels!✨

『It was 12 years ago...』 Gonna go back to sharing roughs but I wanted to give a peek of some moody / rainy flashback color I've been working on for Chapter 3 of The Thief and the Prophet. So excited to show off all the cool coloring. I'm already on page 3!✨
