Hullo!

I'm still recovering from Top surgery. In the meantime, I decided to take the leap and start working on an original comic I've been planning for some years. It's definitely Twbb inspired by the setting and character design, but I wouldn't really call it serial numbers filed off. Not because i'd be ashamed of it, but moreso because the characters and story are so deeply changed it makes no sense as fanfiction, in fact it is much closer to "Oil!". Anyway, I hope you guys will like it. I'm trying to pitch it to publishers, but if all else fails, I'll try to take pre-orders to cover costs or publish through kickstarter. Well, starting with maybe webtoon or something seeing if there's interest for physical-- I don't know what's best between webtoon or tapas, I see a lot of critique (rightfully) given to both. But... well, I'll see.

You'll notice in the colored draft that the characters have distinct designs, but in the sketch they look wayyy closer to danny and eli because I used them as placeholders haha. Now, finally, they're looking the way I want them to look. I'm actually really lousy designing stuff because I can't picture anything in my head, so the part I dread most with OCs is design. Story wise I'm just putting in everything I personally love in it, so...

I'll probably post the colored pages publically at a later date, together with some character art.

Other than that, I've moved yet again hopefully this time to a slightly more permanent place, or at least one where I don't sleep on the couch. Back to working a grocery store I go though as soon as I'm all healed.

I would like to post more art on main and in general but trying to go as off-grid as possible because of mental health while at the same time wanting to keep an art carreer... I don't know what's best. Twitter is definitely a failing platform too, but I can't handle instagram at all- I'm so stressed out! I'll see what I'll do, but phew. For now, just working on my guys. I was at a con the other week selling prints, but together with transport costs I definitely ended up losing money too haha.. artist life, I guess. I was very grateful to the people coming up to my booth and talking to me.

Thanks everybody for sticking by!
