Tiny $2 Tier Update!

Hey guys! 

I've decided to give $2 patrons access to the discord server as well! There are a lot of super good resources in there and in general it's just a nice chill place. Enjoy! :>

Don't Add Fuel to the Fire (WIP)

I'm soooo emotionally impulsive haha. When it comes to people online, I can get like 0-60 heated in a second and I have to fight the urge to weigh in on the discourse. The stuff that gets to me is usually stuff that actually matters like injustice, but I can be a petty bitch over meaningless art discourse as well haha

It doesn't always happen but I *try* to hold myself back and take stock by asking a few questions before I weigh in:

A) Does what I want to say need to be said?
B...

A Better Tomorrow (COMPLETE)

Whooft I did it ;_____; Colouring is the thing I am the Worst at when it comes to making comics/art in general. I'm good with light palettes and pastels but when it came to colouring the darker panels I was immediately like ...oh shit idk how to do this haha so it took me a Long time.

This took like 8 solid hours of work and I am exhausted but I'm feeling good about this! Although I'm sure I'll wake up tomorrow with fresh eyes and see a ton of mistakes...

But y'know, 'finished, no...

A Better Tomorrow (Finished Inks, 8 Pages)

hoo BOY this was tough and rough to try and get done by the deadline with everything that's been going on in my life aaaaa

Now I have to tone and colour this entire thing by the end of today :D ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Can I do it? Stay tuned to find out haha

Patreon Sketch Delay

(This is not going to be phrased very well and I apologise in advance ;___;)

Hi guys, I just want to apologise for being behind with some of your Patreon Sketches that were due at the end of August. I'm just having a bit of a Time right now.

The reason I was late in the first place was pretty much just that I took on more client work than I could physically manage and I ended up having to focus on client projects + my pitch because their deadlines were super tight. 

And...

TW Animal Death: Flossie

Trying to deal with this grief somehow while also trying to work somehow. I felt a bit gross working on client work today - even though I have no choice haha the deadline for this project is Monday - and I just needed to do *something* idk

Feel This Way (Edited)

I always get super melancholy at the end of Summer. I always think about all the things you're supposed to do during the Summer and all the things I ended up not doing.

This Summer has sucked for basically everyone lol, I can't wait to make up for it hopefully next year 

Anyway I've been sitting on this comic for a couple of months and I never quite liked it, so I made it depressing and about Summer and that feels much better now :D 

Oversharing Online

Cause and Effect

OwO what's this? A new outfit? 

Cause And Effect (WIP)

I haven't done a good ol' one panel comic in a while. Treating myself! >:3

I like doing one panel comics because they're nice and simple and easy But Also because I can put more detail into the hair :3 :3 I just really like drawing hair...

Oversharing Online (WIP)

Twitter is my job and also my diary :')

I find it so much easier to tweet out if I'm struggling than to try and talk to/be comforted by close friends. And every time I see a friend like the tweet it's like, yeah, I feel seen. 

Most of the time, all I want is to be seen. I think a lot of people assume that when I put sad comics out into the world that I'm looking for advice but really I just want to be acknowledged and understood and to know if others feel the same way. <...

GIRLS WHO FIGHT First Draft

Oh wow hoo boy I am SUPER nervous to share this with you but, here we go ;;;

Please bear in mind that this is just a first draft and there's a *lot* that needs fixing (there's a whole notes section at the end where I bullet point a bunch of stuff I want to improve) but the idea is there! Literally none of this is final at this stage so some of the dialogue is a bit cheesy and will be refined later :3

Also, this is a *long* read. The whole document is about 55 pages. It's comprised...

Daisy Sketches

I always draw her looking really sad but I decided to give her an entire sheet full of smiles : )

Freya Sketches

Help, I've fallen in love with my own OC......

I'm struggling a lot with her outfit haha, I want her to look kind of regal/fancy/classy and warrior-like but I'm also trying to avoid Saber and Edelgard comparisons xD ...Sometimes, you just have to accept the inevitable though :'>

Are You Really My Friend?

Wahoooo I wasn't sure if I'd get my comics done on time this week but I did it :D 

I'm trying to get better at lettering too! That first panel was pretty experimental for me (even though it's pretty standard in comic making) and I'm just excited to be trying new things, even though it's a small thing :3

Are You Really My Friend? (WIP)

Overthinking or noticing a pattern? Who's to say?

In all seriousness though I think I need to talk to them about this pretty soon oof.

Please Just Do Something

haha brain go brrrrrrrrrr

The irony of this comic is that I feel much better now that I've done something (i.e. making it) :3

Please Just Do Something (WIP)

This has been my mood all week omg. Trying to snap myself out of it by making this comic haha. I spent so much brain energy working on my pitch last week and getting so hyped about my own projects that I think I used up all my dopamine because this week has been so bad lmao. Every time I have a high, it's always followed by a crash oof

Tunes!

I know this isn't super comic-related but I feel like I've been neglecting the $5 tier and I thought it'd be nice to give free downloads for the tunes I've been making! 

Feel free to use them for whatever, if you wanna put them in your YouTube videos or anything, that's fine (a credit in the video description would be appreciated, but is not a requirement). The only thing I really ask is that you don't sell or reupload them :3 

Enjoy!

September Newsletter

Heyooo everyone! Happy September! I always really like this time of year. It reminds me of new beginnings, reunions and being excited to start new projects (In case you couldn't tell, I was the kind of person who always enjoyed the first day/week back at school haha). 

September 2020 is going to be a weird one for a lot of people, myself included, for obvious re...

No Comics This Week (sorry!)

Helloooo everyone!

I just wanted to quickly let you know that I won't be able to make any new comics this week
:< I have to get the frist draft of my pitch in by the end of this week and I'm kind of losing my mind trying to scramble everything together.

I'll try to make up for it next week! 

Thank you for your understanding ;__;

xx Bex <3 

Social Anxiety, Haha

This was very fun xD

Self-Talk

Malicious Algorithm

I'm very slowly working on a new tune when I can find the time and I wanted to make an album artwork sort of thing for it so I drew this as a cooldown before bed!

Drawing creepy anime girls is my Favourite comfort thing to draw haha

Edit: here's the straight drawing with none of the fancy editing also :>

Test Page and More Sketches

:>

Social Anxiety (WIP)

Hahahaha this is so dumb, I'm sorry xD

Self Talk (WIP)

I'm my own worst critic and my own biggest cheerleader haha :')

A Better Tomorrow Pages 1-2 (WIP)

It took me *all week* to ink these pages. I don't know what's been wrong with me other than I think I'm pretty burned out and I can see it in the artwork.... I'm a lil scared to send these pages to my client bc I know I can do better but I'm also like damn I worked *really hard* on them even though they're not good hhhhhh

I do really like most of the 2nd page though. I think those shoes came out pretty good and I enjoyed drawing them! But everything else damn idk.... Plus the first page...

Testing out 3D backgrounds

Drawing in perspective is something that confuses the heck out of me and has done fo years. I'm legitimately wondering if it'd be easier to just learn how to make really simple 3D models and then trace over them........

I didn't make the cars btw but I did make the little shop :3

More development sketches

At some point I need to stop drawing unrelated possible story beats and actually write the damn story so then you'll actually know what this whole thing is about lmao

I need to also think of a title.... I've just been calling it 'girls who fight comic pitch' hahaha

I realised today that drawing OCs being soft together is actually Extremely Good and just makes me happy. I don't tend to draw OC interactions like basically Ever and it occurred to me today that this actually might be ...
