[JttQ Bonus Ep] Rayne - Passing

Grief is just love with nowhere to go. What's that like for an elf?

It's the Raaaaaayne short, baby! Unlike the other two bonuses, I had absolutely no board or layout reuse in this one, which offered a genuinely fun challenge with time constraints.

It's true Rayne lived a relatively c...

[JttQ Animated] Episode 32

Dads, am I right

At the time of posting, we'll be at Gen Con 2025 (I know, we've been so subtle about it)! In fact, if everything goes according to plan, this should be uploading a few minutes after our panel's begun!

IT'S A BEACH EPISOOOOOODE LET'S GOOO

Listen, if you have seen my (Jay's) instagram, then the fact I like to draw attractive people in swimsuits is not a surprise. It was really fun figuring out what everyone's swimsuits would be based on their personalities and base designs!

[JttQ Animated] Episode 29

What a way to deal with a cliffhanger, huh. Whomp-whomp.

I meant to upload this earlier in the day, so I'd like to apologize for that! This one's my personal fave of our shorts so far. I had an absolute blast with the backgrounds and The Stand-out Scene of the short.

[DnD Abridged] Episode 21

Episode 20 was a pretty big act to follow, so we did something a little bit special with our Bard's story here!

Some backstage prattling from your table artist, this episode was very nerve-wracking to make since it features Jay (that's me I'm Jay) singing! It's unaltered, so I'm a little, u...
