breakdown canceled there's fruit #makeaterriblecomicday2026

A digital comic
Panel 1: Hershel looks sleepy. "i don't want to make any comic today" "i'm sleepy" "there's so many video games"
"i tried to make pesto in a mortar and pestle yesterday and it went poorly"
panel 2: hershel holds its head in its hands as a bunch of depressive text wonders why it feels this way. The text is interrupted by "HOLY FUCK NECTARINES ARE IN SEASON!!" and a paw holding a nectarine
Panel 3: hershel goes absolutely hogwild on the nectarine like a feral animal with many gross onomatopoeia. Orange nectarine flesh goes everywhere and splatters the panels above.

an interesting interpretation #ScarletHollow

A digital painting depicting the "Entity" scene in Scarlet Hollow chapter three. The progatonist (depicted as myself, a white dude with a short beard) reaches toward the wall trellis with hir eyes most obscured by shadow. Also draped in shadow, Wayne watches from the background, his glowing eyes piercing through the smog.

The first three chapters of More Than You Can Chew are up on my patreon. That's 60+ pages of werewolf drama. But why now? Well the pages that just went up have Rosarian. Don't you want to meet Rosarian? $5 is a small price to pay, for the great Rosarian. www.patreon.com/collection/1...

A comic panel. Rosarian (tall person with a high ponytail) talks to Renato (short man with an eyepatch). Rosarian says "Trust me. It can get much worse."

Much love & respect to dog people. I love dogs too, they’re great. But nothing in this world hits like being loved by a cat.

Beautiful black and white cat sits on my lap in a funny pose with her belly up.

The same black and white cat lifts up her head so I (bald bearded white dude) can give her a little kiss.

More detailed summary:

Things are looking up for Dr. Ingrid Hall. She's on track to get tenure, her transition is basically complete, and best of all, she's engaged to love of her life. In this city, safe from the werewolf threat, Ingrid's finally finding some happiness. But there's something her fiance's not telling her, and three strange hunters coming into town threaten to destroy the meager peace she has found.

Paper Shells is a comic about domestic abuse and transphobia. It contains graphic violence, nudity, and sex. For 18+ readers only.

I finished drawing this like three weeks ago and i KEEP FORGETTING TO POST IT!!!! Originally for OC Kiss Week earlier this year but I got upset and didn’t finish it

A digital drawing colored in a faux-watercolor style. A dark haired man stares up in confusion and worry at another person whose tears are following on his face. We can only see the other person’s clawed hand. In one corner of the drawing, a silhouette of the two kissing among pink foxgloves.

i have nightmares of being anchored down #ScarletHollow

A faux-painterly digital drawing of Reese and Dr. Kelly from Scarlet Hollow. Reese's transformed jaws frame the upper half of the drawing; underneath, Dr. Kelly holds Reese's body pieta style. Reflected in blues and whites above, a younger Dr. Kelly holds Reese as a baby.

HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME IM IN GRAD SCHOOL FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT HELP ME HELP ME

Footnote: Working definition for the purpose of this essay: Comics that focus mostly or entirely on casts of cats with little to no specificity relating to the species choice. Typically involve conflicts between groups of cats, often with supernatural or political elements and/or a higher level of behavioral anthropomorphism than found in other xenofiction. E.g. What Lurks Beneath is a cat comic, whereas I Didn’t Know, despite featuring a cat main character, is not.

It's the most wonderful time of the year (OC Kiss week)!!! I've drawn this scene with Nash and Byron 1 million times and I WILL draw it one million more times probably. been getting into gradient maps lately

A digital drawing in orange and blue. Byron (white redhead with a curly undercut) is shocked at being kissed passionately by Nash (latino man with swept back hair, wearing suspenders). Nash is gripping their face with a bandaged hand; blood is dripping off of it and some is on his white dress shirt.

I’m the well they’re gonna drag you down #ScarletHollow

A digital drawing. Tabitha from Scarlet Hollow turns to face the viewer with a look of angry determination on her face. Her hair and coat blow in the wind. The Scarlet estate lurks in the background, a well of red energy pulsing out in front of it.

Anyway! My new comic, Paper Shells is releasing next year. Here's the teaser! It's about a trans woman trying to get tenure while her relationship falls apart, and also, there's a werewolf.

A teaser for my comic Paper Shells. Some werewolf teeth frame an engagement ring that floats over a pine forest. The comic is launching May 6th 2026! Lots of quotes from it float around the composition.

A black and white comic panel with screenstones. A gruff wolf with tufts on their ears says "Don't be dramatic. I'm sure it's less than 50."

another thing done for the song week thing i do with my dnd group. the song is about how fashion doesn't make you happy, but the piece is about how happy i am now that i have a style of dress i like. but most of this outfit is thrifted so.

A rough marker and pen drawing of me (a hairy white dude with glasses and a flat cap) with my back facing the camera. I'm wearing hot pink shorts and a linen shirt with many different colors: pink, green, yellow, orange, blue. I'm smiling slyly.

collar of itch

A digital painting. A white man in silk robes, most of his face obscured, raises his chin to expose a ring of psoriasis that circles his throat.

Hershel Deercliff@deercliff· Oct 27

I actually did this a while back for that Song Week thing I do with my dnd squad. Yes I picked the song. I will force my besties to listen to Clarence Clarity any chance i get

A digital drawing. A white man with graying hair and a sly smirk is separated by a diagonal bar from a grey wolf with tufted ears, also smiling sinisterly. The man is swishing a wine glass, out of which flows bright red wine, while the wolf has bright red blood dripping from its jaws. The background is abstract and surreal, and the characters are shaded with pink and blue screentones. Text on the screen reads "think i could fool you/cuz i have to/and i want to" with more text attributing it "Those Who Can't, Cheat-Clarence Clarity"

yeah so the self publishing thing is going great so far

A screenshot of my documents folder showing several pdfs I exported from InDesign last night. They are all minutes apart and named things like "GOOD LORD HELP ME" and "PLEASE ANYTHING" as well as "No Honeymoon ACTUALLY"

Hershel Deercliff@deercliff· Oct 15

I’ll take care of you
