My online art and story journal. I also like commenting on stuff I'm interested in, from stories and tropes to matters of faith and philosophy. Anyway, feel free to take a look around, and I hope you find something interesting!//30 y.o. nerd who never outgrew cartoons and swashbucklers//Scientist, Aspiring Theologian, Fencer, Writer, Cartoonist, Literature Enthusiast, Musician, Poet

A (very) belated Christmas gift for @kingdomblade, author of the delightfully funny webcomic Lesser Than Three. Some of his characters have very different reactions to the cold, and I thought I’d depict that!

In This Scene

Wheeler Rockwell the polar bear was invited by Rory Donavan the husky to join him for a calisthenics workout in the park. By the looks of it, both of them have been working pretty hard. Their friends Elijah Staley the otter and Annie Goldwin the red panda were walking by, coincidentally, and Eli decides to tease friends about their natural immunity to the weather. Annie, meanwhile, who can’t wait to get back to her place for some hot chocolate and a nice, cozy fire, stares dumbfounded at her friends’ apparent insanity.

Behind the Scenes

@kingdomblade draws a disproportionate amount of my suggestions in his Suggestion Box on Patreon, so I decided that he deserved some fanart from me in return.

This took a while. I traced the poses and the pull-up bar for Rory and Wheeler, but everything else came from my imagination. I rarely draw this many characters, let alone a background, but I’m pleased with myself for putting in the effort and the final result is exactly what I had in mind.

Hope you enjoy, @kingdomblade, and thank you for being an inspiration to the rest of us!

Once again my Taggerung Patrons voted to get one of last year's thank-you images colored, and this year the winner was Altairey's suggestion: the aftermath of Rory's sports injury! Eli has been the winner in all three of these polls I've run so far - what a popular guy!

This panel lives rent-free in my head now.
