“Three castaways wash up on an island together, all from different backgrounds, from different walks of life. Intertwined together by odd fate, These strangers find friends in one another as they explore the unknown. Throughout their days together on this peaceful isle, they live through experiences like never before, feelings and revelations big and small that change them forever. And with their human influence, even the island will never be the same.
From an explorer, a warrior, a healer, and a god…This, is the story of what happened.”

Three people from different backgrounds - Mina, a bright young explorer, Lysander, a stubborn and driven warrior, and Sarah, a bubbly young woman who works at a spa - all wash up on a lush, magical island together. Welcomed and aided by Chalari, a laid-back, kind old deity, they all have fun, try new things, and come to new realizations about who they really are as people with new friends at their side - as well as stumble across and examine the island’s many mysteries.Island Reverie is a slice of life fantasy story about unconditional love, self-worth, found family, and knowing YOU (yes, you!) are worthy and enough.
Doing my best to finish it for a digital release in 2024!

E.J.Smith's own take on the classic Lewis Carroll narrative - Alice Liddell is an ordinary bookworm who's shy and skiddish when it comes to people. One day while at her librarian job, she's transported to another realm! Little by little, she overcomes her anxieties and makes friends with a mysterious, cat-like gentleman, a similarly introverted yet studious caterpillar, and a kooky hat enthuisast who insists on hosting tea parties every day.
It's a cozy, fun slice-of-life spin on Alice in Wonderland about found family, mental well-being, and what it means to be happy with oneself.This is a story I'd love to make into a reality, i.e. a animated series one day. But for now, I hope you enjoy what art and anecdotes of these Wonderlandians I have to offer!

This android known as Q-P (he/she/they/it) has become somewhat of a mascot for my work! They speak and sing with the voice of a talkbox, an instrument used to make the unique, robotic sound of musicians like Daft Punk, TWRP, Carson Elliot (Elliot's in particular being my voice claim for them), Lorenz Rhode, and many more!
He's sweet, silly, loves making friends and learning about the world around him! They're not always great with social cues, but they do their best!!
A slice-of-life story about her has been in development for a while now, where they live in a roller rink and hang out with their best friend, Lee, along with his other friends! As Q-P learns and has fun within this diverse, welcoming world, there's something more strange going on up above... perhaps, in the stars?
Hope you enjoy whatever comes next for this silly robot! ♥
