Hi, I'm Randy! I'm currently producing the graphic novel Whisper Court, with WIPs available to view on my Patreon! This is where I put a lot of my concept work, silly doodles, commissions, and anything else I feel like posting :) I'm a small independent artist so Patreon is my only source of income. If you'd like to help me live while also getting cool things for yourself, feel free to check it out! Patreon.com/Hershelchocolate Asks and prompts are always welcome, and my commissions are currently open! I make custom shimejis, custom character designs, comics, and more and I'd love to make something for you! Feel free to DM me anytime :)

Hey there! I'm Randy, I'm an artist, animator, graphic novelist, and writer! If you'd like to keep up with what I do, here's some links to everything I've got!

Patreon: This is where you can support me directly! Access to my art months before it posts, early comic pages, WIPs, scripts, adoptable character designs, tons of stuff!

Artistree: This is where you go to order a commission from me! All of my slots are Pay What You Want, and I'm always available to answer questions! (If you want more information on commissions, you can find that here!)

Twitch: I stream art every Tuesday from 3-5pm PST and video games every Friday from 4-6pm PST!

Discord: Stream announcements, art channels, and patreon chats! Also just a way to hang out <3 Though I'm always happy to answer asks on here as well!

Youtube: Where you can find animations, stream VODs, and more! Every month, patrons vote on the animation I make, and you can get your name on my videos too!

Ao3: I make fanfic fairly infrequently, but I've got a lot of stories up! If you're a Mechanisms fan I tend to stick to that, though I plan on doing a few more soon!

Toyhouse: Where I compile all my artwork and writing for all my characters! There's over 600 here, with tons of info and art on all of them!

Paypal: This is a sort of tip jar if you'd like to toss a dollar or two my way! I spend almost all of my time making my art, so I'd appreciate it c:

Jaiden Wells | She/her | @apotheoseity

Jaiden is.. really just some girl. A college student and avid Tumblr user, many of the people she's close to are wrapped up into supernatural or otherwise out-of-this-world situations, but she's just.. not. Everyone around her is terrified that she'll be exposed to some sort of horror, and at some points she's jealous of the people around her for leading such interesting lives, but she remains.. utterly mundane.

Finch | They/them, it/its | @hershelchocolateart

CW: Themes of emotional manipulation (in the full description under the cut)

Finch is the newest ghost to appear in the Whisper Court Ghost Sanctuary. While they themself consider this to be unremarkable, somehow everyone else in the cast is convinced that their appearance is malicious in some nature. While they spend the story trying to come to terms with who they are and find a future they want to live with, everyone else has pushed them to the forefront of the story by convincing themselves there's something going on behind the scenes. Even one of the Deities of this world is enamored with them, but Finch is simply too busy hanging out with their friends and attending tea parties to really know what's going on. Finch is simply a widdle guy who wants SOMEONE to come to board game night but no one trusts them :(

Promos: https://www.tumblr.com/whisper-court <-this is the Tumblr blog I plan to release Whisper Court to! Currently in pre-production, I'm making pages VERY soon, preliminary release date is up, you can follow for updates!

@just-some-guy-joust my propaganda for Finch!

-they are a small widdle guy. A little baby guy. They are ten minutes old and they have no idea what's going on

-The only thing they have memories of when they appear is love. They were so excited to get it and share it and it's not their fault no one else wanted to

-their CORE personality trait, the thing that defines them above all else, is that they love their friends and family so much it hurts

-they are one of two (2) ghosts in this neighborhood that are kids so they get automatically paired with the other kid when stuff is going on and then they have kindergarten drama

-the first time in the story when they feel true despair and pain is when they realized no one wanted to play touys with them :(

-everyone else decided they were the main character and so they are. If they weren't they would barely show up because they just wanna stay home and play board games and hug their bear plushie

That is all thank you for looking at my babie c:

Whisper Court

A story about a Sanctuary for Ghosts, a training ground for new investigators, and a haven for those who have passed on.

A story about Finch, the newest Ghost to form within these walls, a child who simply wants to move on, and the things preventing them from doing so.

A story about a Court, a world-defining case settled within, and the people responsible for damage, death, and destruction.

A story about identity, and who you can become when you leave behind who you were.

Release Date: October 2024

Follow the blog for updates on production, an official precise release date, and first access to pages as we begin our story together.

How to support the comic:
