I'm a cartoonist, prehistory buff, and sci-fi nerd with a degree in anthropology! 🌟 Available for work as an inker for comics! (they/them) cavetoonist.com
I've made a shift to mostly whole foods and I've kicked my sugar habit. It's taken a lot of trial and error, but I'm really proud of my progress!! This is what my meals have been looking like lately and I'm enjoying every bite!!! 🎉
This is my favorite rock! Found in a river in Vermont. I've had it for over a decade and I still don't know what the stripe is or how it formed! I've never seen anything else like it.
Also bless past me for taking notes so I can pick up where I left off without crying.
Astro rapidly lost 3lbs and routine tests brought back nothing. More tests are going to cost more than I have. Sharing my Ko-fi if you'd like to help! I don't have the energy to set up my shop, but if you want a random sticker in return you can grab one from the shop tab! TY! 💖 ko-fi.com/cavetoonist
Sometimes I get tired of listening to stuff while I work so I put one of my little guy wips up on my laptop screen to keep me company instead.
Working on my own comics while also working on client comics has become impossible. But I squeeze in time for my art game guys to stay regulated! Anyway, this is Solstice, a healer and potion maker whom I play across several games. 💕
New characters for one of my art games! This is Earthshine and Moon Joy. Their names and designs were inspired by the NASA Artemis II mission.
Ooh! It's #WebcomicDay! I'm sloooowly working on a webcomic called VALOR; a science fiction story about a team of salvage operators who grapple with what it means to be human after discovering an illegal humanoid robot abandoned on a derelict transport ship. valorbot.webcomic.ws
Feeling loved and seen by my kiddo who knows I don't identify with the word mother, but still wanted to make something for me today. 🥹 (I like mama and personally find it to be sufficiently gender neutral. They also very occasionally call me may-may which is Ray and mama combined which I love! 💖)
More recent character designs for one of my art games. The Astronomer's Apprentice is loosely inspired by the Nebra Sky Disk (a Bronze Age artifact I love).
Remember when I wrote an entire fanfic about Rey's mom and her 7' tall buff Togruta girlfriend? Those were good times. 😂
I bought a new pair of shoes and while walking home I found this little guy lying in the street! I thought it was dead, but then it moved. Good thing I had a shoebox handy!! Called my local wildlife rehabber and she advised me to bring it home and keep it warm until she can come pick it up.
Starting to feel like myself again after being in a long funk. It's amazing what a haircut can do for the psyche!
Speaking of comics, I updated sci-fi webcomic VALOR with two new pages a couple of days ago! Enjoy! valorbot.webcomic.ws/archive/
This isn't the OG Ray character, but the design is generally the same! This incarnation is an alien bear with a long tail who hails from the Ursa Minor constellation and came to earth to eat snacks and read comics!!
