Sup? My name is Janeil, but you can call me CC (short for my username). I'm a digital artist who works on comics and illustrations for fun. Professionally I'm actually a mechanical engineer...yeah no kidding! I love working with tools and getting my hands covered in grease. With my job, however, I'm a CAD engineer and I sit at a desk designing large equipment all day. Still awesome, but I rather have my hands inside an engine.

Anyway back to the art side of me. I love dragons! I draw them all the time...and hey my comic has a bunch of them! :D I hope you enjoy my work and my occasional outbursts of excitement. I'm a happy person and sometimes I can't help but write a wall of text...oh woops look what I just did.

Feel free to chat with me. I'm a natural chatter box so don't be afraid to talk to me!

Hey guys!

First off, thanks for reading! I hope you are enjoying the story so far.

In the latest page (Swift), we get a look at some interesting glowing crystals. Did you know those crystals actually exist? Well ok, so they don't glow like that, nor are they that big, but they do exist in a smaller, non-glowy form! I own a pretty large rock collection that contains a large variety of crystal structures. I post my images online to not only educate others about rocks, but to also give artists a 100% free resource for rock and crystal images! Feel free to browse my gallery and use the images however you like, but please remember to give credit especially if you use the image itself. Also if you could shoot me a link to what you did with my references, that would be great! I love seeing what people do with my resources.

I also have a collection of images of a spectacular landscape that I live very close to.

I'm also traveling to Kentucky later this summer to get some cool cave shots! I'll be making those images free resources as well. If you have any questions about my images or how you can use them, feel free to message me!

Happy drawing!

Hey guys! I'm a little behind on this page because of robotics, so I'm doing a stream! I usually only share the streams with DA readers because I wasn't too sure who would be interested in a stream on here, but I figured why not try it! I stream on Picarto an listen to cool instrumental music and movie soundtracks. Come join and maybe chat with me too. I'm always up for talking while drawing :D

Hey guys! Hope you are having an awesome thanksgiving! I have another treat you can munch on: Short comics staring the Sister Sister characters! These stories can range from juicy backstories to just fun comics with your favorite Sister Sister dragons! I do take requests for stories or things you have wondered about. Just be sure to stay up to date with the main comic as most of these shorts will contain spoilers!

Heads up about the next couple of updates! they will be on Wednesdays because these next couple of weekends will be pretty busy for me. I'm preparing a digital art work that will be duplicated on the front steps of the Cleveland Museum of Art next Saturday and Sunday (17th and 18th) with chalk! I actually do quite a bit of chalk art and this will be my third year doing one for this chalk fest and second time drawing using a pre-drawn image as a reference. This is what I drew last year! This year will be a secret image and I'll post the digital version on Friday. This is a FREE event and you can even draw too (with a fee, but they give you chalk to use). It's from 11:00 to 5:00 both days and I'll be up there both days even if I finish the first day. If I finish my work on the first day, I'll draw a bonus work! I always love to talk when I'm doing art and take frequent breaks so you can chat with me then too! Check out my Tumblr or DA for more updates on this.

Preview for next week's page!

The title for the next page is "Mental Health"

This is honestly one of my favorite pages because we again have Bo with his true personality: just one grumpy little kid with a fuse so short it's almost nonexistent. Not sure if I like to draw happy Bo more...or him being his sour self.

A new month of voting has started on TWC! Vote for the comic here! http://topwebcomics.com/vote/20116
You can vote once a day!

The next page will be here Wednesday!

hey guys...some bad news. My tablet is not working properly and while it always had some quirks, I was normally able to fix them myself...not this time. I have a friend who fixed my tech problems before and she's coming back from college this weekend. So if the problem is fixable, I may have the update by Sunday. If the tablet is too messed up to salvage...I have to purchase another one...and the one I need is $300! I hope it doesn't come to that. I can afford it due to my patreon, but I wanted to use those funds to help print the comic. I may have to sacrifice that to help keep the comic going. Stay tuned guys! I'll keep you updated!

Quick status update! I'm back at college (yay...) and therefore have less time for comics. Fear not! I'll still update, but updates may be slow and somewhat irregular. I'm aiming to post a new page every Sunday OR Wednesday. So the new page will be here this Wednesday. It's also a page consisting of...3 panels...one of which will be sold as a print if people are interested in buying one. I'm also planing on making a few buttons as comic merch so be on the lookout for a link for those someday soon.

Thanks for reading and being patient! :D

Preview for next week's page!
The title for the next page is "Farewell"

I normally don't leave the dialog on when I do the previews, but I thought I would leave it on with this one.
The page will be here on Sunday and then I'll have to skip a week because of my family's camping trip.
