Long Ago in Gatorville (Part 1)


New comic! And today we focus on Pudgy for once!

I debated on not putting some speech into this comic. I wanted to maintain the trend of keeping the series as silent comics. But for the sake of clarity, I decided to put in some speech for this comic, which I'll probably keep on doing until this arc is over. 😊

3/22/2021 Changelog

Hello guys. As part of my attempt to dust my site off and keep it going, as well as my attempt to finally kick off my artistic career, I've made a few changes on my blog.


First off...


🐊 Gator Buddies page added! If it wasn't clear enough from most of my recent posts, I will be focusing more and more on creating comics about my gators and other Swamplands OCs. This will be my first real project in my artistic career and I want to dedicate a lot of my art into developing more of the Swamplands lore and culture and telling stories of my characters.

☕ Ko-fi page launched! After overcoming a lot of my anxiety, I have managed to start off a Ko-fi page! As it is, this is merely a simple tip jar for everyone who wishes to show me their support for my art. I would be very grateful if anyone dropped in a tip for me. Every little bit counts!

I'll also be dropping this Ko-fi button on all my posts from now on:



πŸ‘• Ko-Fi Merch Shop! In line with overcoming a lot of my anxiety, I have also managed to finally launch an online merch shop! There are only two items listed, but I will definitely be adding more. All of my merch is fulfilled by Printful. Come check out my store here!

🎍 Site background reverted to default. My last background left me feeling so iffy that I had to revert it to the default black background.

Soon on Crossover...


🎨 Still moar art! I am quite keen on dishing out more art and riding this high of motivation while I still can. I am very excited to keep posting more of my work!

🎍 New site background. I'm currently thinking of a good design that better reflects the feel of the site. It'll be a while before I come up with anything though...

πŸ’Ž Crossover logo. I actually have this finished already. πŸ˜„ I just need to get it into a banner so I can slap it up on the top of the site.

πŸ’° Patreon?? I already have a Patreon account set up, but I'm still figuring out stuff like tiers. I'm not so sure at the moment if I can possibly handle keeping up with the demand of fulfilling the rewards per tier either. Until then, I will be sticking with Ko-fi for now.

That's all for now. Cheers! 🍻

Beaver Bullies (Part 2)


Whew! That wraps up that. And I managed to finish before the end of March! Hooray! πŸ˜†πŸŽ‰

I'm really happy with this comic. I was trying a bunch of perspective things and I'm really liking the results!

Oh yes, I also started a Ko-fi! If you like my work and want to show your support to me, or if you just wanna leave a tip, please feel free to do so by clicking this neat button below! I'd very much appreciate it! ☕

4 Years


My girlfriend and I have now officially been together for four years, and to commemorate that, I decided to create some art of us with our gators. πŸ™‚

I wanted to go for a Charles Schulz-eque look this time. It's easy to do it with humans, but when it comes to these gators, it's a different story. Also, those colors are a bit messy... πŸ˜… Still, I'm satisfied.

Here's to more years of me and my girlfriend together. πŸ₯‚ Truly lucky and grateful that the two of us are still going strong. πŸ˜„

Beaver Bullies (Part 1)


I'm back! πŸŽ‰ And I've got more art! ✨ About the Beaver Brothers! 🎊

This piece took me a good few weeks to get into... I was constantly distracted by my gaming. πŸ˜… I'm just quite happy to be able to properly dive back into making Gator Buddies comics!

I'm also pleased with my attempts at perspective drawing here. I was also tempted to use a splash-like brush to paint leaves in all the panels, but I decided to use that for just the third panel and decided to make cartoony trees to better maintain the aesthetic I was going for.

I'm gonna try to get the second part of this series out soon. I don't know how soon, but I'll definitely try to get it released within the month, and not like ten months later. πŸ˜‚
