Rogan: I LIIIIIIIVE! Yesterday was my first day out of mask/quarantine hell which means I was finally up to doing stuff besides lying there miserably. So I took the chance to ink and/or color a bunch of sketches that had backed up over the past few months.

A colored sketch of Rogan sitting cross-legged naked on the floor, beaming happily while Mac plays with his wings and makes a silly face, singing "Cute lil wings, pretty baby wings."
Warm-up colors, my only attempt at naturalistic color. Then I said "fuck it" and decided to do something else.

A doodle in shades of green, yellow, and purple of Bob sitting in Grey's lap, pulling her in for a kiss by the tie.
Bob and Grey, roughly twenty years ago. I have drawn variations on this theme for these two for fifteen years, and by god I will draw a million variations more, because I am a simple rube of simple pleasures.
A sketch of Rogan posing ridiculously, the way you might imagine a ballet dancer hamming it up and trying to portray a putti. Done in shades of gold, orange, and blue, Rogan's top surgery and hysterectomy scars show up in gold.
Noodling with colors on a doodle from clubbing. I wanted to do a kintsugi thing with scars. I'll try again some other time. I also originally intended to add my wings in, but... bat wings are anatomically complex, and the page was full, so I decided to leave as is.

Another gold, orange, and blue sketch, this time of Rogan stretching in the morning, a poor man's upward facing dog.
Same thing regarding wanting to add my wings and just... not figuring out how. They change my silhouette completely.

In shades of black, purple, and white, a ragged, feral human-looking girl kisses a big shaggy ogre twice her size, who seems very surprised but not at all displeased.
I did a million different gonzo colors for this thing, and go figure, ended up with purple and black as the one I liked best. (Not pictured: the florid orange and magenta and purple one,  Done on commission for an anon who knew my weaknesses. Tandy always gets depicted so generically on covers, just this interchangeable hot brunette in a red dress, and that made her a challenge to draw. Then anon pointed out that by the end of Ogre, Ogre, her hair's been burnt, her dress ripped up, and she's lost her shoes. That girl was surely looking pretty feral by book's end, and the book states over and over that she's super agile and capable of scaling cliffs and swimming through cave rivers. Plus I like drawing muscles, so enjoy buff feral Tandy. (And a very disapproving Chem.)
 
Piers Anthony owned my childhood, Xanth especially, and this formative experience helped vaccinate me against fandom "NO THIS CAN'T BE TRUE" that later happened with Orson Scott Card and J.K. Rowling.
