November's Ramble has been posted for all supporters, featuring winter's seasonal sticker concepts! Supporters can vote for which design they want to be produced until the poll closes on Wednesday, December 4th.

And if you're not a supporter, please consider becoming one this Small Business Saturday!

Happy Indie Animation Day! I put together this side-by-side comparison of WIP teaser versions for my October production update on Ko-fi, which is now public! (Monthly supporters get early access to sneak peeks and behind the scenes content like this!)

Also on Ko-fi are two new shop products, mini poster prints and logo stickers!

Please don’t feel obligated—the show will go on no matter what!—but if you’re excited about it, consider becoming a monthly member, purchasing something from my shop, or even just sharing this post! Your support helps alleviate production costs so I can pay people to assist me (which gets the episode done faster!). :)

“When a discouraged sheep becomes possessed by a demon and gains the power to shift into his lycan form, she realizes the potential of being a big, bad werewolf in a world where little sheep are easy prey.”

Watch the latest teaser trailer for Bleating Heart episode 1, “Cry Wolf: Part I” and stay tuned for future updates!

I found a ridiculous amazing hat (under the cut) and wanted to draw Vale wearing it, but then the sketch… evolved

Found this old wistful Vale sketch tucked away in my Procreate files :)

“Having survived shootouts, cave-ins, drownings, and more, Wyatt figured his luck was due to run out at any moment. But it wasn’t luck that had scooped him up and carried him on foot across miles of barren wilderness; It wasn’t luck that had met him halfway on horseback and rushed him into town just as the storm bore down on them; It wasn’t luck that was visiting his bedside daily until he recovered, bringing flowers and drawings to brighten the room. So even if his luck was nearing its end, he knew he had nothing to fear; he had something better on his side, something that made him feel like he could live forever.”

Yeehawgust day 31: Cowboys Never Die!

And that’s THE END!!! Once again this Yeehawgust has been a fantastic experience and it was a pleasure participating. Despite falling a bit behind in the end, I had so much fun dreaming up a sort of “direct to DVD sequel (affectionate)” storyline to follow up the original. Thank you to everyone who followed along and liked/shared my work— I read every tag on your reblogs and they mean a lot to me :’)

HUGE thank you to @yeehawgust / @ceilingcow for creating and moderating the challenge and giveaway!!

As always I’ll probably be posting cowboys year-round, but I’ll see y’all next year for Yeehawgust 2025!

“The fear of losing Wyatt again drove Clare across that big empty space, even as lightning licked like snake tongues at his heels. Later, the townsfolk would catch wind of the event and spin a yarn that Clarence Valentine outran a storm with his partner in his arms.”

Yeehawgust day 30: The Big Empty!

“With only one horse remaining to carry the wounded to safety, a painful decision had to be made. Clare clung to Wyatt as Patience left them in the dust, and watched with swelling worry as a sky-wide cluster of storm clouds threatened her promise to return with help in time.”
