Halcyon; Everything Is
"Halcyon; Everything Is" is my original webcomic, published in coordination with Imaginary Badger. It's an anthology series; each chapter we follow a different character whose past catches up with them, in one way or another. There are many homage to the people and things that have inspired me throughout my life.Chapter 001, "Untitled so far but we'll see" began production in July 2021 and finished early Jan' 2022.Chapter 002, "BOOK PEOPLE", began production late January 2022, final page released January 2024.Chapter 003, "Sunflower", began production April 2024, final page released Dec' 2025.The comic is on hiatus, thus Chapter 004, "A Kid Named Castle", has yet to begin production.You can follow the creation of the comic on Twitter (@HalcyonComic) and click the cover above to read it on Tapas.io!

Halcyon; A Palisade Tale
"Halcyon; A Palisade Tale" is a long-form comic series in the works. Once I've finished chapters 1-4 of Everything Is, I will tackle this story. The script currently stands at 25,000+ words, and is estimated to be 27+ chapters.Palisade, a young calico cat, leaves his home to the city of Nelico in an attempt to find some “purpose” in life. He soon befriends a mysterious goat with no name. Together, Palisade and the goat get into misadventures, eagerly visiting all the unique places Nelico has to offer!
Something strange is happening in the city of Nelico...For the first time ever, Palisade moves away from home. Soon enough, he encounters a lot of... interesting things, to say the least.- Kat’s Coffee, a little coffee shop! But, huh, that weird goat is there?
- Grendel’s, a strange combination thrift/shelter where you can stay however long you like, but only if you barter with the space itself!
- The beach, something special about this place causes people to open up and become closer, for better or for worse...
Just what is an ‘Archetype’?Palisade soon learns of this strange phenomena, or ability that people can develop called an ‘Archetype’. But the rules are pretty weird!- Every person has some subtle ability to persuade others or to affect fate
- When one is particularly “in tune” or “out of tune” with themselves, these notions manifest themselves into a literal form
- An Archetype can be explained away by coincidence, but others see it in a different way, and recognize their potential...

PAYMENT; Full payment upfront is preferred, but a half-now, half-later plan is also fine! I will not start a piece without some payment. For now, I can only take PayPal or ko-fi.WORKFLOW; I will start the piece based off refs and/or a brief character description.Sketch Phase: For busts, half and full bodies, you'll be offered one/some sketches. Any needed adjustments to proportions, perspective, gesture/pose, should be done here.Completion time will be based on complexity.
- A few sketches would be within a day
- A bust, within a few days.
- A full body piece with a detailed background? Maybe around a week.I will do my best to maintain communication with you during this.REFUNDS; If for whatever reason either party cancels the commission, you will be refunded, minus the work already done. If your piece is done, you will not receive a refund. There will be a sketch phase where you can ask for adjustments, this is the time to iron out any issues you might have.
