[jesncin]

what are some of your favorite queer indie comics?

OOH! Off the top of my head in no particular order:

To all the White Girls I've Loved Before by Sarula Bao

Crimes by Kelsey Wroten (tho I also love Cannonball)

Shattered Spear by Otava Heikkilä (tho I also adore Sasha from the Gym and I will be reading Home By The Rotting Sea)

When I Arrived At the Castle by E. M. Carroll (tho anything Carroll does I'm a huge fan of and I desperately want to have a hardcopy of their new book A Guest In The House)

Love Condemns Her by Hana Chatani

Wrecked Hearts by Mathilde Kitteh and Luca Oliveri under Peow Studio (some of the stories are hit and miss but the general vibe of space romance inspired Lunar Boy, so it has a soft spot in my heart for that).

Boyish Anthology (butch x butch anthology! Hit and miss stories as most collections tend to be, but the ones that hit are so good especially when butch characters and butch x butch pairings are abysmally rare in sapphic spaces)

Of Thunder And Lightning by Kimberly Wang

Itching, Inching by Arantza Pena

Heat by Jean Wei

In Fair Verona by Val Wise (tho I'd pay attention to anything Val does tbh they're all gold)

Two Gay Little Animals Share Their Secrets by Anatola Howard (I love the You Were My Joker Last Night comic too)

Sacred Bodies by Ver

I don't doubt I'm forgetting some comics that I'll be devastated I didn't bring up here but!! These comics. I love them. Indie comics really scratch that itch where most mainstream publishing can't ever replicate.

SET FIFTEEN - ROUND ONE - MATCH ONE

"i've wasted a lifetime pretending to be me" (2013 - Emily Horne and Joey Comeau) / "da oracle" (2020 - Anatola Howard (maroonracoon))

I'VE WASTED A LIFETIME PRETENDING TO BE ME: a softer world is one of those things that i felt like i was seeing imitators around every corner for years. what are we in the dark? maybe we're a christmas tree glowing softly. maybe not. (@kaerran)

DA ORACLE: this comic by maroonracoon messes me up but in such a pleasant way. i think this comic speaks for itself. i have my atoms reworked and reconfigured every time i see this comic. (@godsbride)

("i've wasted a lifetime pretending to be me" is comic #1010 of the webcomic a softer world by Emily Horne and Joey Comeau. It ran from 2003 to 2015.

"da oracle" is a comic by Anatola Howard (maroonracoon on twitter) and the artist's self-proclaimed favourite.)

I really really REALLY like your art style, like I'm actually salivating looking at it 🤤🤤. I love the way that you stylize your fan art (talking about dungeon meshi) and I was wondering if you draw inspiration from anybody in particular, and if so, who?

One of my all time inspirations is Anatola Howard. For stylization like that I usually look at artists like Dean Heezen, Milt Kahl, etc

Oh…how I love to draw him.. Randy from the game: “Maggie’s apartment” check it out on steam!!

anatola howard this sandwich is so good i dont want to die

[xenosagaepisodeone]

I find myself periodically thinking about maroonracoon / anatola howard's old games from yesterdecade...4 lung boy and pen pals(pen palz?) are important artifacts of tumblrina culture. unique and unparalleled in their atmosphere, unreplicable products of their time.

okay about the art school au

tell me if you have any bright sparkling ideas for this au bc god knows i would eat them up. like i said before i know johanna is a graphic designer now but she has roots in illustration theyre like siblings. she leans towards children's books, making up stories and weird wonderful characters out of thin air. her work is also very botanical - her doodles in the show are full of winding plants and flowers. she could fill a page with dense undergrowth.

gerda is a student too but she's like that one teacher that just LOVES fonts. she is graphic design, product design, interior design, going back and forth between the computer room and the workshop to lasercut something or to build a weird chair. she could probably run a company marketing department at 18.

i also said kaisa is an analogue photography girl. she doesn't really care for most commercial photography she's like a man ray superfan and probably gets snotty about using digital cameras sometimes but loves to mess around with unconventional and cameraless methods. she might smell like chemicals. she doesn't want anyone close enough to be able to tell. she has always been an academic nerd and it shines in her artist research, drawing from the most conceptual artworks and fascinating herself with what there is to discover about them. she would love mike nelson.

edmund is perpetually covered in ink, of all colours, on his hands and his face. he's constantly workshopping prints of all kinds, one of his final pieces being a gigantic woodcut relief print depicting mythical creatures with lots of iconographic detail (think luke pearson's norse-inspired patterns o_<). he takes print room safety VERY seriously. do not put your hands or hair anywhere near the roller on the press. he will get you.

ive got like an outline idea for 6-8 chapters depending on whether i do it as a comic or writing? comics take so much effort for comparatively less story coverage so it would be a big endeavor but i would really love to have it all in visuals (also i'm not a superstar writer?) it's so difficult because some things i want to describe like in written word but some things i want to have visual 😭 artwork between paragraphs could be good but idk how cohesive it would be and it might be a bit jarring to suddenly be reading what you were looking at and vice versa.. that kind of thing works really well for a memoir like alison bechdel's fun home but not so much straightforward fictional story idkkkk... i can like see some panels in my head but i also want to do long descriptions and idrk if i want to mash them together. if i really do this it's going to take some PLANNING

victoria is still crazy but in a much more creative way. she loves to discuss everyone's work with them, she loves weird and experimental stuff. she likes to make elaborate and unconventional sets, props, and costumes for her colourful multi-media short films. she loves any art that moves, and makes great use of audio, sampling heavy thunderstorms pretty often.

AND! if i included the creatures (as people) then tontu would be a fashion & textiles tutor. i shan't be taking questions.

also thank you for the inspiring tags @the-hilda-librarians-wife 😭 your hospital au was so awesome i might find myself doing footnotes like you did, describing techniques and stuff where it would be out of place to just straight up write it down in the story.. bc i am gonna get SCIENTIFIC with the photography

(if it was a comic i'm thinking about the fun I'd have with speech bubbles especially in a classroom/studio - one of my hugest ever inspirations is anatola howard and this comic is so spectacular for speech bubbles lol)

21, 26, 30 for the artist ask game?

Art styles nothing like your own but you like anyways

Gosh, that's a hard one. Probably Wayne McLoughlin, Jhonen Vasquez, Louis Wain, Anatola Howard, Alison Bechdel

What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended

I don't think there's any really? I don't know how many people make interpretations of my pieces and if they're wildly different from what I intended

What piece of yours do you think is underrated

Anthro RussetFur, Madre Antre, and this Angel RedTail

[kkkkkkkitty]

Ur art is so good + ur me giving a free list of awesome artists to follow :]

THANK YOU sweet thing...heart❤️ yessssssss there are so many fantastic artists on this doggone app I'm so glad I can share them with you guys :D ! Here are some more that I like:

Funnylesblie focuses on Homestuck and Problem Sleuth art...he has this really awesome distinctive art style with these crazy super expressive poses. I'm smitten with the big alien heads and the little eyes...great stuff

Marcheriest does these gorgeous big explosions of color and lines and shapes. There's a lot going on, but once you focus on something your eye can be lead around and you carve out the picture. Love love love the color pallettes...

Lukas-anderson's artwork is so neat &clean....it has an -I guess- logical approach to perspective and is just plain pleasing to look at. Also does animation...love the wobbly lines

Beverage2000 also does Homestuck fanart but a lot of other stuff too. Messy and scratchy art style with quivering lines and awkward perspectivework that I LOVE. Awesome 2D-ness... Epic.

Maroonracoon/Anatola Howard is a huuuuge longterm inspiration of mine. Absolutely stunning work I love all of it. Super meticulous and detailed but at the same time very clear and somehow deceptively simple...very compelling faces.

Thank you again for the ask...have a nice day uglygirlheaven
