I made this #artvsartist2020 today and realized I was making a portfolio, so I am sharing that portfolio here.
You can also look at my project history here -- I've created 20 Projects on Kickstarter. Some have been more successful than others.
Projects started Dec '17, and have included:
- Monthly 10 page Astrological Sex Comic [Completed 6-8 of them]
- Final Fantasy Fan Comic Shorts [Completed one 10 page and 2 strips]
- 48 Page Dystopian Cyberpunk Porn Comic + 8 page extension.
- 30 Page Fantasy Sex Comic about Elves and Goddesses, and a King. Liberty | Death.
- A handful of GIFs and single page projects.
- A 4 page Warcraft lesbian elf short comic
Projects that have failed due to my own lack of experience:
- Autonomous Dildo - Mechanic Cyberpunk Woman creates Frankenstein Boyfriend Fuckbot
- Jungian Inspired Tarot Deck
- I also feel like Pornoscopes wasn't really shipped, since I didn't finish all of the signs, and kind of petered out / ran out of funding.

Around Dec '19, I decided to go all in on a public domain adaptation for a full length, erotic graphic novel with a pre-existing fanbase. This has been a success so far, and I've raised more USD for this project than all of my projects in 2019 combined.
The project is a ~88-100 page Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Erotic Graphic Novel, and you can find the beta version of that comic on my blog here on HIVE.

The most interesting thing I'd like to do with HIVE, apart from blog and curate, is that I'd really like to start an artist collective that focuses on comic project execution. -- Which is why I created Hierophant DAO.
I'd like to share my experiences in making small scale graphic novels and comics work, so that people can leapfrog some mistakes, and get qualified to collaborate with me effectively on projects. I think a combination of Ethereum DAOs [Colony.io], and HIVE Community participation would make a good financial cornerstone for the collective component of Hierophant DAO.
Beyond that I'm just about helping artists who are serious about what they are doing move beyond pin-ups and one-off commissions, toward more project based individual goals, and into more collectivized efforts, like collaborations with marketing DAOs, developers, or other artists with anthology work.
I think realistically the best way for me to do this is just to continue to execute projects myself, and be transparent with people about how I'm doing these things, so they can model their work after mine, and then get some of their own momentum -- in this sense, I feel like my work mimics the ethos of the open source community.
I don't see myself as an expert, but more as an enthusiastic person looking for other people that are interested in regularly jumping off cliffs with me -- in the proverbial sense.
Go ahead and ask me anything, and I'll get around to answering within a day or so.
Cheers HIVE.
