I WROTE A BOOK!

Very excited to finally be able to officially reveal what I've been working on for close to a decade now, never thought I'd see the day! Thanks so much to @steillustrates for the amazing cover art as well, I've struggled to keep it hidden for quite a while!

Resurgence of Gaia isnt just my debut novel, but also the first part in a new series titled, Infinite Legacy: The Osiris Chronicles. Set in the far future, humanity has left the Milky Way, the memories of their ancient homeland now long forgotten. Its a universe of war, deceit, intrigue, hope, and love where anything can happen. The Osiris Galaxy serving as the backdrop of it all...

Resurgence of Gaia is currently available to preorder on Amazon and will be officially available for purchase on the 31st July 2025.

If you want to know more but dont feel like clicking the link, you can find the synopsis below!

***

ENTER THE OSIRIS GALAXY, HUMANITY'S NEW HOME AMONGST THE STARS!

Fate hangs on a knife edge.

The Gaian Empire, crippled by their humiliating defeat at the battle of the Diamond Nebula six years prior, has returned stronger than ever. Its eyes fixed on the very edge of Solar Alliance space.

When the S.A.V Barracuda is unexpectedly destroyed, Edward Nelson is sent to investigate. But with the war’s return on the horizon, the distinguished Terran commander finds himself torn between the ghosts of his past and the relentless demands of duty.

As tensions mount, the solar alliance stands woefully unprepared, its leaders desperate to maintain the integrity of their bureaucracy in spite of the ever growing threats to galactic security.

Isolated and at the centre of it all stands Greyheart Station, hoping to keep its nation alive just one day longer, no matter the cost.

The Thirteenth Doctor returns in “Countdown To Doom!” Coming: Never.
You voted for the incarnation and the monster, and I went through hell trying to put it together. I tried my best with this one but it just got more and more difficult the further I went with it, hence the phoned in background, also just couldn’t get the doc to look how I wanted no matter how hard I tried, which explains the noodle arms. But, that being said, it was a fun little challenge. I hope to never do it again. (I probably will) Daleks are fun to draw tho I guess.

“It’s called minimalism, it’s a lifestyle.”

Couldn’t help but draw my boy Robert Robertson III, aka Mecha Man. Dispatch has been such a blast so far and I can’t wait for the last two episodes to drop. Definitely pick it up if you haven’t already! (Also challenging myself with these awkward poses is driving me low key insane…)

Finally, if you ain’t on team Invisigal unfollow me right now.

REDRAW CHALLENGE! (Swipe for more) I must admit I figured this one would get chosen when I posted the poll. It is, for some reason, my most popular post on DeviantArt after all… also you’re all predictably basic. (I kid ofc)

So why did I do it? Mostly for myself to see how much I’ve improved since the days where I was taking my very first steps into digital art, and also to prove to myself that art block is stupid and that I still have what it takes to create something. Also just to catalogue that anyone, even little old me, can improve with just a little bit of practice. I went into this with very different eyes from the original, I wanted to tell a story with it, show a stronger contrast between the characters, and overall just make the piece feel more dynamic. Why are they fighting? Who knows, but I think it’s obvious from the piece who I thinks gonna win. That cocky mf is going straight into orbit! Is it perfect? No. Made me realize I need to do way more lighting and shading studies, also Superman looks kinda funky to me. But am I happy with it? For now, yes. Let's see how I feel in another five years.

But anyway, this was fun! And I’ll probably do another one at some point! (keep your eyes peeled for more polls)

“Parker! You’ve been a thorn in my side for too long... It all ends tonight!”
Happy halloween! Two drawings from me in one week, aren’t you lucky… yes I know I’m a day early, allow it. (Swipe left for a poorly edited speech bubble)

“You’re a child playing at being a hero.”

Going away to a con never fails to help me return charged up and ready to create shit. (pardon my french) And you know what, it’s about time I gave my boy at least a somewhat decent drawing. Honestly haven’t been able to draw anything for a while now without getting frustrated but this one, na, this one just lept off my pencil.

It helps that I just cosplayed Matt as well, might post them here at some point, or not, who knows?

Ya'll been sleeping on Nicholas Hammond for too long...
Been wanting to try and make a fan edit for a while so thought, why the hell not? So I gave the original GOAT a try.
If its booty, I do apologise...
May make more... Who knows? I certainly don't...

This mf just CAN’T stop HATING! (Been reading through Frank Miller’s Daredevil and figured I may as well draw my boi. Regardless of how terrible it is.)

Been a while since I’ve actually commited to posting anything, and believe me I tried. Got an iPad and still trying to figure things out… who knows, I might be back to form soon…

I saw Brave New World and decided to draw the wrong Captain America.

The empty space is an artistic choice and definitley not because I had my reference image there and couldnt be bothered to change it... Also I kinda just uhhh gave up on the shading by the end, idfc tho tbh.

Also Instagram... Fix your music selection... I beg... Wanted to add Lemurian Star to dis sh**

Have a vengeful day!

Portrait study accidentally turned into a full on painting session where I tried a different approach than usual... Dont have a name for whoever this is but I'm sure its something fancy... Like Una... Yh lets go with that why not.

Swipe for original sketch and reference!
