***UPDATE: April 2026 ***

It's been awhile since I've used this account, mainly because of dealing with health issues that have sapped my free time and my finances!  But now I think I'm finally turning that corner, and I'd like to get back to photo shoots with models.  Just so you know, my shoots are for my comic as mentioned below, and as seen in my portfolio.  I use the photos for reference for artworks later. In comics, artists tend to exaggerate human proportions, so the photos help the artists to keep their proportions more realistic. 

This means that the pics I shoot for my photo shoots won't be shown anywhere publicly, especially social media.  However, if you are interested in the pics that are made later into artwork, I can send those so that you can post them and the artwork to your own social media accounts.  Then you can say that you were in a comic!  :-D

If you’re interested in posing for pics for reference use later in a comic, then here’s what I’m looking for at this time: I am looking for women only, roughly between ages 18 through 45, which is the age range of my characters.  I’m looking for all heights, from petite to WNBA height!  I am also looking for some women who are D cup or above, because two of my characters are busty. The rest are regular size, so I need those, too. I've uploaded my main characters to my album to give a better idea of what I'm looking for.

It would be great if you are a female model in the Fort Worth/Dallas area, because as I said, my finances took a hit in recent months, so I can’t afford travel expenses for someone coming from further away.  If you’re further out than the FW/D area and are interested in doing a shoot with me, then it will need to be with the understanding that I can’t swing expenses beyond the modeling fees.  If you happen to be coming to the FW/D area anyway, then great!  It wouldn’t hurt to let me know.  :-)

Feel free to ask me any questions about any of this, but the models I’ve worked with so far have had fun cosplaying as superheroes. The more fun and free-spirited you are about all this, then the better the pics will turn out for artists later - the attitude going into this matters a lot. Just know that I’m not asking for nudes, because I don’t have nudity in my comic, nor any porn or erotica - this is just straight superhero stories. I don’t have a MUA or a hair stylist, because again, these pics aren’t for public use.  A little make-up and styled hair is fine, so ask me if you have questions about this.

I have an Instagram account, if you want to contact me there:

My comic also has a Facebook group if you want to check out  my characters.  I usually post there once a week.

I have begun a new comic series called "Trif3cta", and the cover art for the first issue is located in my MM album, so go check it out!  Also, the first, second, third, and fourth issue of my comic are now available for purchasing, and here's the URL for purchasing them!  :-)

Wish me abundant comic sales, so that I can keep doing what I love – making comics, and doing shoots with models for my comics!  :-)
