Getting back into the SWING of posting, after falling off for a bit, so here’s a Spider-Man for your timeline!

I’m almost sold out of the autographed copies (but not quite - check my store via link in bio!), and I’m so thrilled to have sent the book to so many of you. Marvel Anatomy - being a 4 pound, 232-page book - is such a hefty pleasure to give out, I don’t know anyone who doesn’t enjoy flipping through the pages.
Except for that one douchebag on Amazon who gave it 1-star ⭐️, saying “had nothing to do with anatomy.” Man, I hate that guy.

Hey friends - I’m back!

I had the distinct honor of being invited to the beautiful city of Vienna, Austria, to attend & speak at Vienna Comic Con @vieccviennacomiccon .

My generous hosts paid for a portion of my flight, secured a table for me from which to sell art, and arranged for me to give a 30 minute interview/talk in the main hall that Saturday. We talked about Skyrim, Fallout, Marvel Anatomy, my career, my work, and AI art.

I had a glorious time. Everyone I met was so nice and so enthusiastic. I sat next to my friend @sarielsnowings , who I’ve known online for over 5 years now. They were an absolute joy, and made the experience incredibly comfortable and fun. Wouldn’t you believe it, we totally forgot to take a selfie together.
I also got to meet the individual who made the entire trip possible by working with the organizers behind the scenes, @bluebird_cosplay . She came straight from her night shift to come hang out with me, and was a delight, and I am so grateful for her help in making this happen.

Was it difficult transporting 30 4-pound books across the ocean? You better believe it.

A huge thank you to everyone I met at the Con (and to @sargola for the lovely pictures), and to @vieccviennacomiccon themselves — you guys throw one hell of a two-day event. Invite me again next year??? 😁

Skyrim turns 13 today.

Amazing to me that it’s been this long, and part of me wonders for real when we will finally see a remake. Cuz you know we will, right? I’m not saying this in any official capacity, of course - I’ve been gone for about 12 years now, and my relationship with Bethesda has long ago been severed - but even if the series continues as normal, I feel that Skyrim is just bound to get remade at either the 15 or 20 year mark… what do you think?

These are some of the things I made in that game. Work that I made that *wasn’t* featured in this video include: the Trolls, Spriggan, Mammoth, Circlets, Wabbajack, Horkers, Sanguine Rose, Nightingale bow, and the Jagged Crown.

This piece by @shpipart was actually submitted over a year ago, well before the #DTIYS even took place, but the amount of thought, work, and easter eggs packed into this one image was simply too much to resist.
I mean, honestly - just LOOK at the title itself! It has a skull and multiple corridors! There’s a castle in the background, there are skeletons engraved on the wall, the Narrator Worm (and a scuttle-bug) are looking down from above… it just goes on and on!
I might also add that @shpipart has submitted some great ideas for lore and background for the world. He has never been pushy, merely inspired and wanting to share. Truly, an ideal fan and talented contributor!
This piece will be going in the back of the book ✅

Also, I will be posting a real update soon on my progress, and share some behind-the-scenes artwork 😄

I’ve got to say, when I saw @tomabelillustration ‘s final work for the Quiet #DTIYS , I was blown away. It’s so stylistically old-school, so full of details and easter eggs for one to enjoy, and so on-the-mark story-wise.
And can you believe that Tom incorporated a Deathclaw skull AND a Dragon Priest mask waterfall? Just amazing. This one’s definitely going in the book!!

Please, follow @tomabelillustration ! 🔥

Is there anything more peak fantasy than exploring a dark crystal cave with a sword? 🗡️

I’ve been following @kim__hu for years now, and though they’re not on Instagram much - they’re sailing around on Bluesky these days - still I wanted to share their work here. Quiet spelunking in a glittering cave… I love it. The colors, the line work, the composition is a whole… It’s so darn cute and whimsical.

To say I was blown away by @saintakul ‘s DTIYS submission would be one hell of an understatement. 3D is quite an involved and complex medium - I should know! - The amount of effort that went into this particular composition, with evil Quiet looming over a defeated Galahorn, was huge.
I’m a huge fan of this art, and of this artist… Please do not pass up this opportunity to follow @saintakul !!!! This piece will definitely be going into the back of the book…

Anddd I’m back. Hiiii👋🏻

I’ve been offline for a full month. Friends, the Kickstarter almost broke me, but we pulled it off, and thanks to your help, Quiet: Level One is being made into a legit graphic novel. I can’t wait to dive back in and share my progress with you.

As that process begins, I thought I would start sharing the Q:L1 #DTIYS entries I received, and start announcing some winners. One of the earliest - and most incredible! - entries was created by my man @dittograin . Ales has sent me his work before - a carved Dragon Priest Mask! - but this piece absolutely blew me away. The thought, the care, the attention to detail! Truly amazing stuff. And check out the Quiet entries created by his young kids!! They immediately got the “vibe” of the world (kids just get it).

Thank you Ales for this one-of-a-kind gift. I will absolutely be featuring this carving in the back of the book. 🤩. To the rest of you: FOLLOW @dittograin !!!!

You have exactly 1 week left to secure your copy of my epic fantastic graphic novel “Quiet: Level One!” After that, prices go up across the board, and you’ll no longer have access to the Kickstarter-exclusive hardcover +slipcase (which is ever-so-swank).

And remember, anyone who backed the Kickstarter is eligible to compete in the raffle for my autographed copy of “Marvel Anatomy: The Collector’s Edition!” If you haven’t already, DM me a receipt of your pledge!

Reminder: Tomorrow, I’ll open the raffle for the Marvel Anatomy Special Edition! 🥳

Whereas the raffle for the last copy of Marvel Anatomy was huge - over a thousand people participated! - this one will come from a much smaller pool of people (so your chances of winning are much greater). Essentially, anyone who DMs me with picture-proof of having backed my graphic novel “Quiet: Level One” (now on Kickstarter) at ANY level (even for just $5) will be entered… and anyone who backed for a hardcover will be entered twice.

I expect only a small number of backers will actually see this (thanks, algorithm!) so your chances of winning this special limited edition Marvel Anatomy (a $200 value) could be one out of just a few dozen. Stay tuned! Link to the Kickstarter in bio… 🔗

The Quiet figurines have been a bigger hit than anticipated - people really like them, we’re building an army of little skeletons! - so we’re playing with the idea of releasing a *very limited number* of Galahorn statues. These would be much larger than the Quiet figurines - Galahorn is, after all, a much larger dude - and would be cast in oxidized brass.

Tell me: would you want one of these guys on your desk??

I want to shout out @maxicastro92 for the creation of this model!! He created this model all on his own, based on images from the comic, and I’ve done only a few hours work on it myself. He did an incredible job, and I couldn’t be more thrilled!!

Level One of the Labyrinth is designed to keep out invaders, but something has breached our Tree of Worlds, and the maze will not be enough to stop it. For that, we need a Hero…

1. I’m giving away an autographed copy of the Marvel Anatomy Special Edition! Only 300 of these were ever made, so they’re super rare — because of this, the only people eligible for the raffle will be those of you backing “Quiet: Level One!” (Meaning this raffle will be far more exclusive than usual). There’s still time to make your pledge, secure the graphic novel and get a chance at the Marvel Anatomy SE - I’m aiming to launch the raffle on Tuesday!

2. Have you seen my Groot video on YouTube yet? For anyone who wants to learn more about how Groot actually works, this video is for you! Link to my YouTube in bio…

Only 15 more days remain in the Quiet: Level One Kickstarter. With 8 Stretch Goals unlocked and almost 1,300 backers, it’s going well, but we need to keep up the momentum. Join the quest via the link in my bio!

Oh, and yes… that is a squirrel in Groot’s chest!

As of this writing, Quiet: Level One has over 1,000 backers! Are you one of them?
I want to take a moment and highlight the amazing work of @chinbeard , who made the incredible axe Rüna for our Kickstarter! if you have not seen the video they made showing how they designed this, you really need to jump on their channel…

Rüna is the great-axe belonging to Galahorn, my antagonist. Designed with the head of a laughing wolf, I wanted this to look like a belong to either a villain or a hero. Even as Galahorn becomes more and more dangerous over the course of the series, I want the axe to be a symbol of potential redemption. Can you reach that redemption? Only time will tell…

There are 25 days left in the campaign. If you are still on the fence, I urge you to at least check out the page, and watch the video… I really think you will love this series.
QUIET: Level One!

Have you seen the trailer for Quiet: Level One? Because I’m in love 😍

When I sought out my good friend @tmuzzatti to work with me on this, I knew it would be great. He has such expertise, he is so reasonable, he’s extremely considerate, and when we worked together (remember Fireborne?) we always make things that are fun.

@livingcardsmtg is an amazing artist and animator who I’ve followed for years. You may know him as the guy who animates Magic cards, or who Photoshops Paddington Bear into Magic cards. Well, Geoffrey stepped in and offered his own animating magical abilities for this project, and knocked it out of the damn park. As an artist, whether 3-D or 2-D, nothing is quite as magical as watching your own artwork move… but you need an animator for that.

Geoff and Tony hit it off immediately, and they were both unceasingly supportive of my vision. Aside from the script and the particular storyboarded images, I gave them both full creative control and let them run with this.

Why did I give full creative control to them? Because I knew they were both passionate, talented, and visionary individuals. Together, they might have come up with a vision slightly different than the one in my head, but what mattered was the feel of it, and I wanted them to feel that it was theirs. They owned this trailer.

I could not be more grateful, or more thrilled, or more proud, of this final result.

And heck, if this doesn’t make you want to buy a graphic novel about a little skeleton braving impossible odds, then your heart is truly made of cold, hard, pitted, lichen-colored stone. IMHO.

Reminder: snag the book within the next 36 hours to get your free sketchbook!!!

So this happened today… 🤯

We are scarcely 3 hours into funding for QUIET: Level One, and already we’ve doubled our goal. I’m speechless.

Despite the Instagram algorithm’s attempts to stifle all Quiet-related posts (oh sure, it will boost Marvel Anatomy every time, but Meta seems to really hate personal passion-projects!), the Kickstarter appears to be sailing like a ship in a kind breeze.

I’m almost too dazed and exhausted to react! I’ve slept a total of 8 hours in the last 72 - 4 grueling days at Denver Fan Expo did not help!! - and am doing all I can just to keep up with the deluge of stuff that needs to get done: communication, marketing, graphic design, writing, etc.

But underneath it all, I am truly thrilled. I can’t tell you how good it feels to know that so many people want to see Quiet out in the real world (in part because of the numbness and exhaustion). After years working in the digital realm, I will now be able to put a book of my own - a graphic novel, no less! - in peoples’ hands!

A lot of work still has to be done to get to that point, of course, but after what I’ve just been through, trying to get this Kickstarter moving… Making the rest of the graphic novel will be the easy part!!

I will return again soon with greater eloquence, because there are so many people that I want to thank. I had a whole team of people helping me out, and I want to properly celebrate them. And I want to thank YOU, for supporting this project, whether through the purchase of the graphic novel itself, or simply through your encouragement and word-of-mouth. In every single respect, I could not have done this without you.

So yes, I will return soon with so much more to say, but the reality of the situation is still sinking in, and my duties for today have not diminished in the least bit.

For now, let me just say this:
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Have you ever wanted a tiny skeleton 💀 friend to sit on your desk by your computer and cheer you on?
Of course you have - we all have.
Now, at last, you can make this dream a reality. These figurines are made of white brass, not pewter, so they’re actually quite heavy. I sculpted them myself on the computah, and then they were cast by the masters at the @ember.forge ! Everyone in my family has one - you’re the only person I’m missing. Don’t forget to snag yours when the Kickstarter launches in just 8 days!!!

💧💧💧💧💀 🐛💧💧💧💧
Some days just feel like this, don’t they?

I’ll admit, I have had a few difficult days of late. I’ve been going and going and going for so long now - burning the 🕯️ at both ends - and it’s sometimes darkest before the light.

Today has been pretty good though. As stressed out as I am, I feel certain that I’m leaving it all on the field. And trying is what matters, right? It’s what Quiet would do…

Friends, only 2 weeks remain before the “QUIET: Level One” Kickstarter. I want to thank all of you who have already followed the campaign over on the Kickstarter website (link in Bio), and I want to encourage everyone who has not yet done so to hop on board! I believe that this is going to be big, and I don’t want you to miss out. I also don’t want you to miss out on your FREE custom sketchbook, designed by me & dedicated to holding your art/ideas/whatever. Anyone who backs the project within the first 72 hours is guaranteed one!

Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for so much more ❤️

GALAHORN IS COMING.

In 17 days, Galahorn will invade Level One of the Labyrinth, and nothing will ever be the same again.

The Protog barbarian is unstoppable, unbeatable, and armed with an unerring sense of direction. He doesn’t know the meaning of North, West, East, or South; these directions are irrelevant, as he is guided only by need. Wherever his quest demands he go, he could head there with his eyes closed, in the straightest possible line. This means that Galahorn is not only powerful, but frighteningly fast in achieving his objectives.

How, oh how, can Quiet possibly stop him?
