Halloween!!!!!

I dressed up as frankie (pictured below for your convenience). I went as cheap as possible with the costume, and my lack of proper white foundation was uhhh problematic. Still, it looked okay in the pictures!! Slay slay

The hair looks way more green irl but the lighting+Camera made it look super dull :(

The idea is black heels for the legs, white body for the body, red eye shadow and lipstick for the red eye, green hair and hair clips for the cactus, and a flower for the flower.

A few minutes later, the white paint was getting even weirder lol

Anyway fun fun!

POV: you opened the door without knocking and you didn’t bring nitroglycerine.

Fanart I did of Maryann from “Facing the Sun,” a comic by @artbytesslyn. This lady is rotting my brain. There’s necrosis in my Basolateral Nucleus.

Who’s your most favorite character out of every fandom you’re in?

Man, Anon, this one really stumped me! I used to gravitate towards stoic characters who didn’t really reveal much of themselves in-story (Kaworu from Evangelion, Dream from Sandman) because they left a lot of space for you to play in and fill in with fan works.

But in recent years I’ve gone in the opposite direction, and I find it really hard to excise individual characters from the work as a whole. Like, the whole cast feels like one unit, and their relationships with each other are what make their world enjoyable.

THAT SAID, and assuming you found me through the Cinderella Boy fandom, I love Chase a lot. I think it’s rare to have a character who is so earnest and inherently virtuous still be such a wild card. Punko said that we’re lucky he’s a sweetheart, because his ability to read people would have made him a formidable bully. Maybe that’s part of the internal tension that keeps him interesting.

I also have a real soft spot for Pearl from Steven Universe and Jermaine from Adventure Time, both for similar reasons. They’re kind of big sibling types whose lives didn’t go at all way they’d planned. But somehow even under the weight of always having to be the adult in the room, they manage to find their own peace and joy and room to grow.

You didn’t ask for my other favorite webtoon fandoms but I’m putting them here anyway! Woven, Facing the Sun, Novae, Sweet Home, The Dummy’s Dummy, Love Advice From The Great Duke of Hell. Many others but those are my faves.

I could go on but this is long enough, byyyeeee

This feels like a pretty concise thesis statement for Facing the Sun so far, especially when you contrast it with leaving cognitive error C-06 intentionally unresolved.

Growth is more than just an accumulation of errors, but without the accumulation of errors growth can't exist.

All together now ☀️🪴!! (featuring bribed puppy 🐶)

Got Facing the Sun Vol. 2 and it was a ray of sunshine on an otherwise rainy and dreary day. Thanks @artbytesslyn for your beautiful and wonderful work 💕💕

I had way bigger plans for this piece since FTS is my favorite webcomic at the moment, but July kept me way too busy and tired, and I'm just happy I managed to finish another attack before the end of the month.

I think Aarya is an amazing character and only showing this one side of her feels a bit reductive. My original idea was an animatic with 4 shots that showed different sides of her. But I think the last shot was the best one, so I only did a static version of it and left it as is.

Sit still, breathe,

It will leave.

It is not you,

You are SO much bigger than this.
