Reblogging cuz I’m still hoping there’s a penpal out there for me!

Looking for a penpal

Hi folks! So this may sound weird or a little out of place, but I'm in search of a penpal. I had one for a while but we've since lost touch and I've really missed writing to others. I love snail mail and would really enjoy writing once more.

Here are some basics if anyone out there is interested!

Name: Sam (or Melon, whatever works!) Pronouns: she/they Age: 38 (oh good lord first time I typed that since my birthday) Location: USA, west coast, PNW I would love to write to individuals closer to my age but upper 20s would be fine. Please no one under 18.

I'm an artist and enjoy reading, writing, and drawing comics. I'm also a big fan of horror and creepy things! I live with my husband and we're saving up to move and buy our first home, hopefully in a few years! Other than that, my day job is an employee at a bread store while I work on my comics after hours.

If you're interested in being a penpal, please feel free to DM! I really do hope to find someone again. I miss reaching out to people and have so few friends that the idea of a penpal sounds absolutely fantastic to me!

Drawing them again. The boys. Also, lazy background because it is 5:30 in the morning and I can't sleep.

Remember when I drew these guys A LOT? I still love them, everyone. They are my comfort characters and I can't not love them after almost 20 years. My boys. Probably more to come.

Never seen a bluer sky...

I think like, every 6 months or so, I get into a serious Detroit Become Human phase so here's our favorite blue boy being blue. Also yikes. I'm fully aware it's been awhile since I posted anything but in my defense, September to like, now, were absolutely dreadful and I'm still recovering. I'm going to try and post more now but let's see how life decides to treat me until the end of the year.

Colors fixed! But...

Ok! Went through and fixed the colors to all the full color Stone pieces I've done but the only issue seems to be that for some weird reason, any old reblogged posts still show the old artwork? So that's a little frustrating. If anyone wants to do a re-reblog of the new art, super! Thank you for that! But I wanted to let everyone know that I updated the colors so he doesn't look so off anymore!

My warm up sketch for the day. Been watching a lot of Laid Back Camp and yeah, I love ShimaRin.

(I named this Sticks n Stones I am clever hur hur)

Hey guess who isn't dead! I've been so busy that posting anything has been night impossible. Have a little Boom service because we all know this is a pathetic excuse to carry Stone around.

EDIT: Color is fixed!

[oh-no-melon]

Maybe Stone should be wearing a flight suit, but I think it's funnier if he just has his normal suit

I wanted to draw Stone and Metal Sonic together

Also I gave Stone an metal arm just for fun

Their vision is based on movement.

Just wanted to post something quick to show I hadn't fallen off the face of the Earth. Just been busy. Yesterday was my birthday and I somehow still have a full month off from school. I'm spending that time working on my comic.

Anyway! I figure this pic took place shortly after Stone was hired and past his 90 day probationary period where quitting just wasn't a good idea. Not that he would quit anyway! He's in too deep (with the doctor <3) and he values his life.

EDIT: Color fixed!

Wow tumblr is speaking my language today.

My two cents on the whole HBO show removal but boy, it does remind me the importance of physical media. Like, it is absolutely horrible that these shows are being removed from their streaming providers and some just simply won’t be found again. Imagine all that work and effort just poof! Gone! No record really except memories and pirated files.

For as lovely and convenient streaming is, physical media is still so important because no matter how bad the providers say a show is and pull it forever, they can’t pull my DVD or Bluray copy of it. This is a big reason why content creators (animators, cartoonists, comic artists! All artists really!) always hope that people will get a physical copy of something. I make comics so what if, someday, Webtoons or Tapas decided to liquidate all their unpopular comics or less followed comics and then that’s it?

All I’m saying is if you can, sometimes getting a physical copy of something IS worth it. Things get pulled, piracy is bad* (see my tag below as well as this > (to a degree! Please don’t read this as anything beyond me saying support the creators if YOU, as a consumer, feel they are worth supporting!) but a physical copy lasts as long as you have it in your happy hands!

Then there was this kiss, he said that he couldn't resist...

This mini comic took half my life. I am not fully pleased with it but there it is.

Also big thank you to all the people who liked/reblogged my last comic. That was my most liked Tumblr post! ❤️❤️ Now is sleep time.
