One Day

This was kind of an experiment haha. I was going for a feeling :')

Phonecall Anxiety

Feel This Way (WIP)

One Day (WIP)

Something a little different I think

Phonecall Anxiety (WIPs)

Fun fact: I have a similar anxiety response to one-on-one DMs as well and that's why I made a Discord server so that I could just talk to everyone without it having to be one-on-one hahaha :3

Hot and Cold

This feeling also extends to how I feel about myseslf i.e. I did a slightly good thing = look at me go wahoooo; I did a minor fuckup = I am the absolute worst aaaaaaa

So.... something that I haven't really talked about before is that for a couple of weeks now, I've committed to self dxing as bipolar. Self diagnosis is something kind of controversial but most people in mental health circles online agree that it's worthwhile if you can't go to a doctor for whatever reason (and this is to ...

Hot and Cold (WIP)

Desperate To Be Heard

This happens to me *frequently* and I just.... idk I'm not mad about it, per se, because I know that other people are just as desperate to be heard as I am but it's just like... I started this conversation, can't I just have the floor for like ten minutes to say my piece and then you can say your thing. The event that inspired this comic was that I shared my abuser's handle in a semi-public space for the first time ever and I was about to talk about it and go into more detail for the first ti...

Abusers and Apologists on Twitter

It's pretty bleak out there right now oof

Background Studies 01

I've decided to join in with AllieIllustrate's July drawing prompt! I'm using it as an excuse to practice backgrounds (my biggest artistic weakness!!) with a goal to try and create mood or tell a story in each drawing without having any characters in it.

You can find the prompt here:  https://twitter.com/AllieIllustrate/status/1278247381792931840 

July Newsletter

Goodness, I wonder if this year is flying by for everyone else as quickly as it is for me. It's hard to believe it's actually July... But it is so it's time for this month's newsletter! I've been thinking about these newsletters a lot over the last week and really thinking about what I actually want to use them for. I've been mainly using them to let everyone here know what my plans are for the month in terms of what art I'm making but I think it would be nice to get a bit more personal and h...

More D&D Doodles

Orchid (my character) got to spend basically the entire session babysitting and I don't know if I have ever felt such genuine human endearment for someone else's OC as I do for Baby Bismark.

THDA Collab Thumbnails

I was asked to do a guest strip by my buddy Chris of The Hero Dies Alone https://twitter.com/THDAcomic 

I'm pretty excited about it since I've never done a guest strip before although this did end up being much bigger of a project than I was anticipating! Anyway Chris wrote the script and I'm drawing it! 

Working with writers is something I hope to do a lot more of in the future :3

Anyway I'm pre...

Avatar Zine Piece

Oof this was a really ambitious piece for me lmaoo but I think I finished it! It's due tomorrow so I'm probably gonna give it an extra pass before I send it off but right now I like how it looks! 

Tired Artist Shirt

Fantasizing about one day making a tshirt........

Heavy Rain

Drawing this was just what I needed! Ultimate cozy vibes aaa

Also, I know it's only Saturday but this comic and the one before it are going to count towards next weeks comics (I try to upload three a week for you guys but I've done five so far this week wowee)

Heavy Rain

Heavy rain in a car at night also! Or on a tin roof or a tent.... I just love heavy rain haha

Bad Art Day

whew I'm over this now but damn yesterday was not a good art day at all haha

Bad Art Day (WIP)

Speak Out (TW: Abuse) (WIP)

With everything that happend with Stolencomputer this week (and various other abusers that are being outed in the comics industry), I've been seeing how important it is for people who aren't the victim of abuse to put themselves on the firing line for their friends. A lot of the people who are speaking out are speaking out on behalf of people they care about rather than letting those loved ones face it alone.

I don't know why it is that people are less likely to believe an actual surviv...

This Week

I had some extreme highs earlier in the week but damn.... this week has been triggering and Hard. I just wanna dissolve into a puddle and sleep for a thousand years

Trying to be Looser!!

I don't know where I got the idea that my art has to be neat and all my lines need to be closed but I'm starting to feel like letting it be a bit rough around the edges is the better way to go.... The left drawing is mostly closed-line and the right is me sketching and caring a bit less about open lines and extra mess and I gotta say, I think I prefer the way it looks.....

HMMMM.... 

More D&D Doodles!

I didn't draw as many for this session because I've been having a bit of wrist pain lately and I don't want to make it worse!!

I am *so* happy to finally be playing D&D again

Blend In

OK I think the sketch looked better but.... I can't draw crowd scenes hahaha so I made it simpler

Competent and Reliable

Competent and Reliable (WIP)

Blend In

I have no idea how I'm going to draw the crowd scene lmao

Menagerie

I've been thinking a lot about my tendency to collect behaviours and phrases and mannerisms and how I've been doing it basically my whole life. My intention isn't to be insincere but just to try and be normal I guess. It always seemed like just existing came naturally to everyone else whereas for me it kinda feels like I have to do homework on Everything haha. I think it probably didn't help that I grew up being constantly told that I was 'socially retarded' by my parents so I think I develop...

Too Much

Something that I try and be very clear about is that I have a Very low social battery and it's really hard for me to answer DMs and stuff like that. Also one on one chats make me super anxious, even with people I've known for years. 

I'm never going to make this an actual comic because I think it comes across like I hate my fans or something which couldn't be further from the truth, but everything does feel like a Lot sometimes and it's hard to cope with, especially when people wan...

Art Test!

I did this art test today for someone who wants to commission a ton of art for a music video. I got really good feedback and it looks like I have a good change of getting the job! Although while a part of me hopes I get the gig, a different part of me doesn't want it dfgdshjk 

It's not that I'm in the position to turn down work (I'm not lmao) but I Reeeaaaallllly don't want to have to draw a motorbike like 20 times aaaaa
