Life After Info Post

[Click here to access the Life After Digital Comic Book]

Summary: Two years ago, a viral outbreak rose the dead. Considering how his life had gone up to this point, surgeon Trafalgar Law figured this might as well happen too. When a supply run into the nearby city gets intercepted by a seemingly reckless and impulsive former patient, the dependable routine Law had settled into in this new life shatters. He finds himself exposed — his body out in the infected landscape, his conscious clawing to define what he believes is right, his heart begrudgingly deciding to find a new home on his sleeve. Maybe there’s more than a virus roaming the new world that can bring a dead man back to life.

Content Warnings: Canon typical violence, zombies/body horror (but lbr I am not good at making scary things look scary)

Relationships: Luffy x Law

Update Schedule: New page every Monday/Wednesday/Friday

Page Count: [37 posted | 55 drawn]

Latest Update: [7/21/24] WOWEE did I get myself carried away this morning. I just spent 5 hours organizing my comics and creating the digital comic book pages. I could have spent that time drawing or idk not doing what I do for my job, but I cannot be stopped. Anyway I blocked out 30 pages of this comic last week and they include the most intense action sequence I've ever done in my gotdang life. Wish me luck because I am nervous about tying down all my drawings lmao.

OLD UPDATES:

[6/29/24] HULLO! I'm doing so bad at keeping my masterposts updated lately I am sorry. All pages of life after are tagged life after if you're ever looking between masterpost updates! Also exciting update, I finally have figured out all the different plot points i'm gonna be hitting (yay!). I got hung up on something for awhile that made me not wanna work on this project, but I'm back at it. I think we'll end up with 6-7 parts! I have probably another 80-100 pages to draw lol. Also i got the app Magic Poser and it's AWESOME and I immediately used it to block out sets cuz MAN I hate backgrounds.

[6/10/24] HELLO. I'm sorry I've been shit at updating my masterposts lately. It's easiest to do from my computer, which I rarely use, and life has been happening. I also can't believe I bungled the queue and posted pg19 before pg18 i am very sorry 🤦 Eventually I'll have to turn this into an airtable base I'm sure, but until that day comes where I have like 100 pages of this comic we're stickin to the regular post lmao

[5/26/23] I got real caught up in doing summer of lawlu comics this week and this is the first week since the first week of April I haven't drawn new Life After pages and it feels weird 🙊

[5/19/24] More Luffy backstory comin' this week! :^)

[5/12/24] Updating now so get myself on schedule to update on Sundays like I had been with my other comic master post!

[5/8/24] Thank you to everyone who's liked/reblogged/comment on the first few pages!! It means the world to me that anyone's reading my silly little comics.

[4/28/24] HULLO. It’s happeninnng. I’ve spent the last few weeks working on this comic, and I gotta make this post so I can start queuing pages & link this in them! This is the most like….legit? Comic endeavor I’ve undertaken perhaps….ever. I’m very nervous about committing to how long it will need to be lol. This story is dear to my heart — zombie content is kind of my very favorite. I’ve always found it to be a great backdrop for exploring themes like grief, coping with change, community, and learning to live again. It’ll be a long haul but I hope you’ll ride it out with me!! Tomorrow I’ll be posting the first two pages. After that a page will post every Monday/Wednesday/Friday. As of this post I’ve completed over 20 pages so that I have a good lead on what’s posting and continuing to write, so I’m hopeful that’s a cadence I’ll be able to maintain. I’ll update this post weekly to include the most recent pages the way I do with my main comics master post. All pages will be tagged 'Life After' and I'll tag any pages with zombies in them with 'zombie' for blacklisting etc.

[the-100-days-of-junkan]

Day 80

Yeah that’s fucking right. It’s a Gif.

I fucking learned how to Animate for this Project. This is the first time I’ve ever made a proper functioning animation. Before ANYTHING else. Thankyou to my darling girlfriend @sunmellows who made this possible by giving me a ton of pointers on how to do this.

So anyway, you’re probably wondering “JEM. Why the fuck did you do this-” It was funny.

The answer is that it was funny.

I was thinking of what to do for the 80’s Junkan, how do I go up from a comic, to learning how to paint good, to now. And I was like “Wouldn’t it be funny if I just randomly jumpscared Val with a full gif of Junkan??” because yes my sense of humor has devolved to the point where i find comedy in putting in massive amounts of effort just to see how people react to it. Don’t know where that came from.

Surprisingly this did not take long from what I remember. Around 2 weeks if not less. 

Saying I have zero animation experience prior to this is technically incorrect, however said previous experience barely constitutes as such. But I guess it gave me the absolute bare minimum, and i mean BARE.

The Gif standing before you is the culmination of me having to learn pretty much everything i could all on the fly. There was actually supposed to be more since I wanted it to be a perfect loop, however, I cracked from the exhaustion and just left it after the kiss, and then asked Yves to add a fade out. I was also originally supposed to FINISH the gif. My original plan was to just line and color every frame of the gif until it was completely done one day at a time once the project started. However, and it’s been awhile since I mentioned this, by the time this project was done and ready to post I was so fucking burnt out on it. I would have loved to finish this but my god I don’t have it in me. 

Oh yeah the gif itself. Was it gonna be anything other than a kiss? I mean, c’mon. It’s not like that’s already super hard to draw and almost definitely harder to animate, what reason would I have NOT to make them kiss? Also still happy with the little detail of Junko wiping away Mikan’s tears.

Hardest part to animate was the hair, oh my god the fucking hair. I love drawing it, but animating? Please god never again.

As always, Reblogs, Comments, and Little Notes in the Tags are appreciated!~ They always make my day!~

If you wanted a version without the fade to black at the end, here you go.

[demvalhaken]

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!! Just some super cool arts

If I EVER had the patience to write and draw the Catecis comic, it’d look like this

This is just a grasshopper sailor out on the Waspian port

I was thinking about naming him Sir. Irian like the Iris flower. The thing is I have to differentiate him from Iris, a male monarch Butterfly across the entire world. Or Sir. Astroway as his last name is Astroway due to his sailor family using stars as a way to travel.

About my long break: Look guys, I haven’t been doing well mentally. I am in a depressive state, I am sleep deprived, I am done with life. To draw so much and pour your time and skill into an artwork only for a few likes can be frustrating. I don’t post my art for fame or love, I do it to share my ocs and ideas, I don’t want the masses to flock, I just want recognition for my work. I didn’t really mean to take a break, I get distracted very easily and forget to post. I wish I could post more but art takes time, I have to develop ideas and passion due to my constant art block and burnout. The only good thing in my life is just being alive. There is a large scar on my neck because I gave myself a friction burn with my lanyard at school due to anxiety :( I have mental problems, whatever I have, it isn’t good and will probably slowly deteriorate me to a depressive glob of my former self, but I will never get diagnosed. My family is constantly angry at me for no reason, I get that my clean obsessed behaviour can get annoying especially when I panic and get water everywhere, but I hate to be yelled at for something that I cannot control or fix. They say I am overreacting and will got over it, but I’ve tried, there is no fixing this. That’s why I’ll probably never ever get a diagnosis or therapy session. I lied, I am actually not as okay as I say I am. If I ever don’t post for a period time, please know that it’s either from lack of art or mental issues. I am sorry for not posting in awhile as my usual breaks take a time of 3 days or 2. I am deeply sorry.

Bevel, Snow, and Berry.

I drew these in my math book, very classic place to doodle, I know. There’s not a lot of doodles in my book though, I am usually trying to do equations and get an 100 on my test

I finally got a haircut, though my hair is now a short messy thing, I feel quite confident even if I don’t fully look masculine. My arm hair should be quite an indicator and the trans pin inside my backpack, haha! That pin was made by a friend of mine, don’t worry he’s very fruity and slay. Idk if it’s just my senses but my hairdresser was definitely an ally, he slayed, my hair is hairing. Also I have giant eyebags and a cowlick, like I literally have Dem’s cowlick.

Here’s some more little oc ideas. Eclipse is my first transfem oc, I know I know I’m slaying. She’s has a twin sister, Luna! Yes, Eclipse and Luna are Hornet twins, from the same egg btw. I still don’t know how it works, I’m too tired to research though. Arctic and Viper are a married couple, I like to think Arctic is just a lesbian and her/his wife is a crazy queen with schizophrenia who totally didn’t kill her family. They’re both from Bloodlust’s time period, though a little older.

I don’t want to talk about it… This is really gross but because Snow’s family wanted to keep the bloodline “pure” she’s SHORT and albino but like literally no one else in her family is albino… poor Snow… GUYS DONT MARRY YOUR SIBLINGS AND COUSINS… Bevel transmasc headcannon, I’m not making it cannon yet because Bevel is a lesbian.

Layze, Funkyfrogbait, and Bevel with one tooth

@purpledemonss asked for this minus Bevel, that was my idea

OKAY I LOVE YOU GUYS SM, EAT THIS UP, STAY A MENACE TO SOCIETY JUST DONT EAT LEATHER UNLESS YOU ARE DEATHLY STARVED

[wulvert]

I hope this isn’t one of those impossible to answer questions but, how did you start drawing/stay motivated?? I’ve wanted to make comics/ just draw in general for awhile but my art always looks BADDDD and seeing people (like my bf for example) be great at art and even going to university for it it’s like…. Huhhggugugufufgguugufufufuufufufufuueuwuaaaaaaaaa- and demotivates me a little, yk??

i started drawing bc i wanted to draw warrior cats

staying motivated is different for everyone, for me, NOW I really want to be able to draw my ocs fast and efficiently, im the only one who can draw my ocs because im the only one who knows them so i must do it, and i want to draw them well so I must improve. This may not work for everyone but I am an insanely jealous person, I covet so hard. obvs we covet what we see every day, so following artists I'm jealous of makes me want to get better, and to get better i must keep drawing so one day i can be like twitter user #42. I guess that's finding inspiration. maybe FIND INSPIRATION!!! is a nicer recommendation than become ENVIOUS. sorry. follow your inspirations.

Making drawing not a painful gut wrenching experience is incredibly important, personally I like to get something DONE, i want to fail FAST and move onto the next thing, I rarely sketch and i do thick non intricate line art to accommodate this, if i was forcing myself to do insanely rendered portraits every day i would stop drawing, i dont like it or find it fun! maybe once in a blue moon is a good time.

Doing figure drawings is genuinely the biggest game changer, not even to get better at art, obviously it does that but as a side effect it makes drawing so much easier, if i want to draw a full body now It is not a battle, i can just do that, even if it is wonky i can complete it without struggling on a sketch for three hours. I think improving your fundamentals makes drawing more fun and less like a slog to get through. I started trying to do figure drawing every day a couple months ago, i dont always manage but i try to get it most days of the week & now the way i feel about drawing has flipped entirely, the amount of art i post has like quadrupled since september.

Feeling bad about your art is normal! I have never felt happy with mine, i know i cant draw faces very well and i avoid feet but I will get there one day if i keep it up, im focusing my reference drawing on faces atm! I am the happiest with it i have ever been just because im having fun with it for the first time in a long time but I still have a long way to go. Keeping it up is hard but it is worth it if its something you enjoy :) Finding method that you enjoy drawing with takes a long time, It took me years to figure out i just do not like using pen pressure at all whatsoever & since then digital drawing has become a lot less physically painful for my hand lol.

also making comics just helps a lot. you dont have time to make everything perfect, you just have to keep drawing and getting better. u will hate all your old pages eventually it genuinely rules.

I hope this doesnt read as BECOME ENVIOUS AND SPIT OUT DRAWINGS FAST WITH NO REGARD FOR QUALITY bc that isnt what i mean, i just mean streamlining my process helped me find what i like to focus on in my art which is shape and colour, and learning how to make shapes better helped me have more fun. I like quality and spending time perfecting things i just like spending time on the things i care about! & now im trying to branch out into other non illustration stuff im just having a good time.

soz this is long i hope it answered ur question in some form

[drizzledrawings]

since you've posted abt spider man and post abt cowboys I gotta ask if you've seen Webslinger? he's shown briefly in the spiderverse movie! 🕷️

I’ve been meaning to draw that guy for awhile

AND read his comics

[hillbillyhipster84]

Very inspired by @evgar ‘s fantastic and sexy Sadigail art, to finally start a sexy Charlotte/Sadie 1909 piece. I drew them a couple of years ago, before I got my iPad, and I’ve been meaning to do a proper drawing for awhile. I adore the idea of these two together.

Here’s my old comic panel of them

[shiny-miltank]

A leche hobbies update:

Update on knitting adventures: almost done with a scarf I started 🤔 dropped stitches everywhere but it really helps with my adhd to have something in my hands to play with while feeling like I’m working towards something! Don’t think I’ll show it off though LMAO, it’s ugly as a scarf but I like it as a “baby’s first scarf” to look back on when I get better. And it’s warm :)!

Other thing: picked up a sewing machine from the good will and still in really great shape and working! Its old and has character and I love it HAH. I’m learning from my abuelita on her own machine. It’d be great to combine this and knitting to make essentials and to repair clothes that really need it.

Drawing/not really a hobby it’s my “Jobby”: sorry for being a lil slow on updates! I got a little bit of burnout and I really want to finish summers commissions so I can clear my schedule more. I’m just about done so I’m no longer chipping on three projects at a time between my full time job oof-but do know they are being worked on. I’ve got adoptables on the way and sketching the next ask-n update! I’ve also been keeping an eye on other places to post like insta and bluesky but I feel like I need to like…observe? Some more? Before committing and learning whole new platforms and posting schedules bleh.

I got other projects in the pipeline, one including a pmd thing, more Paldea headcanons and what not and some certain purple psychic cat things returning. But all in due time! Can’t overwhelm myself : 0

And a little bit of a rant or ramble about perhaps dropping a longtime hobby I’ve had and feeling sad about it beneath the cut ;( but if you’ve read this far thanks! Love ya’ll for supporting me!

I think a handful of you? Know I roleplay on this platform and have for a good seven? Eight? Years. It’s fun, a lot of my ideas and headcanons and art I���m known for were actually jump started by some random thread or idea from between my rp partners and what not. The Mewtwo blog, ask-n, scarlet turo and etc etc were old muses or ideas that turned into their own thing. It’s always been so easy to write and collaborate your ideas with the rp community you’re in and it becomes it’s whole big thing!

But I know it hasn’t always been the healthiest hobby for me after awhile but esp when I want to focus on content creation as a job that I’m really into. I no longer have the time to maintain plots and characters despite being so determined to stick to it. It’s becoming more of a distraction of just scrolling down the rp dashboard out of FOMO more then anything and heck I can’t even see most of it as a lot of events and verses and etc I blacklist to attempt to curb anxiety and distractions which haven’t been working lately 🤔 I still get lots of anxiety.

That and the community’s changed really. I know every old rper has typed their piece on “back in the good old days-“, leaves their blog and doesn’t give any useful advice or attempt to change the narrative lol. I don’t want to do that.

And it’s not the communities fault either. It’s natural for spaces to change to help new ideas and new people come in. It just means maybe it’s no longer meant for me and that’s okay. If anything it’s more how my friends I’ve been with for all my time there have left or are leaving. There’s a disconnect I can’t seem to get over no matter what new muse or idea I promote esp when I’m no longer comfortable in the space I enjoyed for so long. I never had to block so many things before and again not the communities fault and none of the things I’m blocking are unsavory, it’s more like my tastes and likes and dislikes and what I have spoons for have just become different over so long. It’s totally a me thing.

It’s in my mind that maybe it’s okay to let it go since I’m getting so hyped for my newer hobbies and the ideas I have for my art/comics. I don’t have the time anymore to dedicate so much energy on it like I use to esp when even over all my work Im still figuring out my adhd after getting diagnosed officially, new meds, the other mental diagnosis that makes the mental soup in my head alongside other life stuff.

I owe rp in general for helping me get that creative spark and through a lot of tough, long dark times. It’s provided me with the escapism and outlet since like, forever. I started rping in ye old Neopet neomail days and haven’t stopped since besides the occasional period that didn’t last long. Who knows maybe this is just a rut and I’ll feel better tomorrow or next week or something. Could be the change of seasons where my seasonal depression kicks in but I’m not quitting yet but it’s somewhere in the funky mind palace as I navigate this weird patch.

Thanks if you’ve read my ramblings this far! I wish there was a way to reward peeps who read through my long jargon? It just feels good to know I can scream into the void and sometimes I’ll have one or two people nod at me in understanding. Idk, I’ll think of something—

Feast Your Eyes: Fandom Cookbook Recipe Review #10

IT’S RAW - Gordon Ramsay’s Healthy, Lean and Fit

Tonight’s menu: sourced from Gordon Ramsay’s Healthy, Lean and Fit

Starter: Chilled Pea and Coconut Soup

Main Dish: Coronation Chickpeas

Dessert: Chocolate + Avocado Mousse

Full review under the cut!

(and updates on the future of this series!)

Update:

While this series originally started as fandom cookbook-exclusive, my visit to Hell’s Kitchen in Vegas (and subsequent purchase of one of Gordon Ramsay’s books) has opened my eyes to how restrictive that requirement was. While I’ll definitely continue working out of my collection of fandom cookbooks— there are plenty of recipes I still want to try— I’ll be branching out to other books and maybe even the internet. I love cooking, and I really enjoy sharing it with people like you. Thanks for sticking around as long as you have! (And if you’re new, I hope you stay awhile if you like this review!) While I’m far from a professional chef, food has long been an inspiration for other forms of my art, and this summer has really cemented its place there.

Other changes to this series will include reducing the amount of Chef Leuci’s logs (they’ll still show up in more fantasy-based reviews, don’t worry!) and a different review scale for dishes like the ones I’m serving tonight (similar to the original review scale, just lacking the ”Immersion” rating). Again, the more fantasy-based reviews will remain the same.

As my next year at SCAD draws closer, I’m excited to start using this wealth of experience in my writing and comics. Thank you for tuning in.

Enough chatter out of me— let’s get to the main course!

Starter: Chilled Pea and Coconut Soup

RATING:

Difficulty: 4/5

Ingredients: 5/5

Time: 5/5

End Result: 5/5

Total Rating: 19/20

This dish… was something completely different than I expected. In a good way. It’s a very thin soup with a HUGE amount of ingredients. It made seven servings when the recipe said it would make 6, and I’m serving 4 people. Not complaining, though, everyone enjoyed it, and it seems like it’ll be good hot or cold. The flavor is super complex— every ingredient NEEDS to be in there, or it doesn’t work nearly as well. It’s delicious, full of vegetables, and the nuanced flavor makes you want to eat slowly in order to really experience it. Also, the thinness of the soup is absolutely deceiving. It’s super filling. It only loses one point because of the sheer amount of vegetables we had to chop (big thanks to my dad for helping out, or it would’ve taken forever).

Main Dish: Coronation Chickpeas

RATING:

Difficulty: 4/5

Ingredients: 5/5

Time: 5/5

End Result: 5/5

Total Rating: 19/20

Before you ask, this loses the same point that the soup did. Lots of vegetable chopping. That’s not a bad thing by any means— I love vegetables (and enjoy chopping them too), but for someone less experienced, I think it’s important to note that and reflect it in my assessment of the difficulty. Anyway— this vegetarian (we made it vegan) take on coronation chicken was incredible. I’ve never had coronation chicken before, but if it’s anything like this dish, I’ll probably enjoy it. This is a salad, served cold, made up of cauliflower, carrots, chickpeas and green onions, with a yogurt-based dressing (which I mixed myself) mainly flavored with curry powder. While, as I’ve said, I normally despise cauliflower— I think I’m learning to like it. Between last review’s wings and this delicious, crunchy salad, who knows? Maybe I’ve just had bad cauliflower all my life.

Dessert: Chocolate and Avocado Mousse

RATING:

Difficulty: 5/5

Ingredients: 5/5

Time: 5/5

End Result: 5/5

Total Rating: 20/20

This mousse… was incredible. Like, when I told my partner what I was making for my family tonight, she was skeptical of this (as was I, a little bit.) but WOW. Simple, only four ingredients and an hour in the fridge, and it sets right up just like a normal chocolate mousse. I didn’t use raw cocoa powder, so it was a little bit on the dark chocolate side of the taste profile, but when we actually ate it, we put a little bit of Coco Whip (not pictured) on it— the sweetness of that picked it right up. I’d love to make this again, maybe with some raspberry or orange flavoring added— it was rich and decadent while also being surprisingly healthy. Only vaguely related: I got this really cool tool for opening an avocado that removed all of the danger of cutting yourself open while trying to get that tasty tasty green mush. Thought it wouldn’t work, since it was $3. But it was super effective, and I’m looking forward to making something with that second avocado we’ve got on the counter… I love avocados. 🥑

Tune in this Friday (8/2) for my next recipe review!

If you read all the way down to here, thank you so much. I hope you enjoyed it. :)

[seashellcosmos]

What fandoms are you in?

also sprinkle noodles got me interested so what’s your original story about

Oh that’s a good question! Danganronpa, obviously- I played the games in the middle of 2020 and it’s had a hold on me ever since lol. I still really love the Mega Man comics/mangas/games and the old Earthbound/Mother series of video games (so much!!) I don’t guess I’m necessarily ‘active’ in those fandoms but I love seeing fan art/fanfics for them (and I want to draw more fan art for both lol) big fan of Mob Psycho 100 still, i was really REALLY into Legend of Zelda for awhile and I’d like to get back into it tbh, maybe replay one of the games. Does DnD count? Idk but I love DnD. I recently started watching Dungeon Meshi with a friend and it seems really fun too :D idk I like a lot of things heh heh

And I am still very nervous when talking about my original story, but it is what inspired the whole Hero AU fics in the first place! Hopefully it’ll be a very fun graphic novel one day.

(I don’t want this post to be too long so I’m putting the rest of this under a read more lol)

The short version is that it’s about a camp counselor working at a very secret and secure summer camp for the children of superheroes.

And the longer version is it’s about an aspiring writer who sticks his nose where it doesn’t belong, gets wrapped up in a big conspiracy, and ends up more or less staying at this camp to avoid being taken out. He starts working as a counselor, dealing with kids, getting close to all the other counselors and actually making friends when things start to uh…. Fall apart. He has to deal with everything he’s been avoiding, his new friends discovering what he’s running from, and someone trying to hurt all the kids at this camp.

If you like slice of life stories that go horribly, horrifically wrong, 20-something year olds dealing with past trauma and being stupid and making friends, and stories about silly superhero shenanigans you might like it!

It’s really self indulgent tbh, a big of just everything I like lol. A lot of themes and ideas from it I actually put in the Ultimate Hero AU, I was feeling pretty bad about my writing skills and wanted to just work on something like… fun with no pressure just to see if any of those ideas worked. I’ve been meaning to post more about it on my main tumblr page, I’m very excited about it and I’m trying to work on it more now :3

[finalskies]

Heir’s favorite posts of 2022

It’s that time of year again: the end. So I get to talk about my favorite things I posted. It’s funny, I feel like I really didn’t draw that much more than last year, and I certainly didn’t get any better. If anything, I’ve probably regressed. But even then, in these past few months I’ve probably felt more joy about drawing than I have in a long time. In a way, it feels like I’ve removed all my expectations for myself and I just... I just get to draw whatever I want, and it doesn’t matter if it looks sucky to me. “Face didn’t come out right? That’s fine, it still looks cute. It doesn’t look as good as it used to? No worries, you’ve done it before and you’ll do it once more. And even if you don’t, you can still have fun with it and make people happy.”

Maybe I’m just finally done with being mean to myself about my drawings. Maybe I just wanna draw cute/silly stuff for my friends. Because, as I’ve said before, you don’t have to be great and powerful to make something that makes a great and powerful difference in someone’s day. Anyway...

Ol’ Reliable Applejack. This is one of the first drawings I made with my new tablet, and the first one that made me think “Okay... I can still do this.” Even before my bestest most favorite tablet broke, I hadn’t been feeling the whole “drawing” thing in awhile. As simple as this looks, it felt like a real turning point.

.

Internet Fuzz Queens. As a very young child, I had this idea in my head that all my favorite cartoon characters lived in a community together and they would hang out and stuff. This is was an extremely self-indulgent comic that required specific knowledge of four different fandoms, and I want to do more like it. I love my blorbos and I want to see them hang out together.

.

Angel Byrd. My OC turned space kangaroo in my Scum and Villainy campaign. I’m glad I got to give her a little more pizzazz. I forgot to mention it in the original post, but the reason her dress has a tummy window is because she’s planning on smuggling museum artifacts in her pouch lol. We’re actually doing the second part of the heist tomorrow, wish us luck!

.

Kaysee Cadet! A character I made for a dnd Humblewood campaign. I really love how this came out. Ultimately I did settle on the orange fur, but maybe I’ll do something with that black fur design at some point. Gawd I’ve grown really attached to this character. They’re autistic, and they’re not native to the setting of the campaign, so “common” isn’t their first language. It’s been really difficult for them to navigate the world, and some people have been quite cruel to her, including her own family. All she wants is love, and they try SO HARD to help people despite everything, and we’re getting to the part in the campaign where the party transitions from “ragtag group of weirdos forced together” to “found family.” But tragedy struck in the last session of the year, and now it’s more of a “darkest hour” moment. And I’m just... I love my blorbos, especially the ones I made up ;_;

.

Give Trans Girls Swords. Winter is this lovely artist’s sheep fursona. I’d been wanting to draw them for awhile, she has such an appealing design. This was so fun to draw, I love making things for friends and also giving trans girls swords.

I really want to make my own fursona one of these days...

.

 Miss Pie’s Monsters. It was... so nice to see the monster gang again. MPM is absolutely one of those projects that I never stopped thinking about, never lost hope that I could finish it one day, even those it’s been years since its last real update. I’m happy with myself for sticking to the update schedule I promised, even if I was calling it close sometimes lol. I hope people liked seeing them again. And to the people that I know liked seeing them again: first, I love u, I hope I can continue to update it in the coming year. I can’t wait to reveal who the Captain of the guard really is.

Stay fantastic, I hope we all have a better 2023. Or at the very least, make it through it together. <3

Michael is FNAF Baby's number #1 hater

[silverstreak27]

So I’ve been reading Cass’s comics for awhile now and figured I should join in and try my hand the art side of things.

Now, I’m by no means the best artist, and especially not digitally, so I took it simple and did my own little colored take of when Mikey and Draxum are doing that spell thing on Casey. The reference photo shown is the only reference photo I used, sooo… sorry if I got something wrong.

@somerandomdudelmao I hope you like my tribute to your insanely awesome comic :D

(Also drawing with your finger is hard)

[jiloop]

Are you still doing the omori x rottmnt au? I'm not pressuring you to finish it, it's just been awhile and I'm curious

Been meaning to but realized I lost interest in it, I was thinking of drawing planned out scenes for it or just straight up word vomit about the ideas I had

Or just mini comics here and there

I’ll still definitely draw content for it, I like how I drew the characters

I’ve also just gotten busy with other things that took up my time TvT

Thank you for asking honestly

[goddamnwebcomics]

Oh you have no idea. Just imagine JUST IMAGINE the amount of good quality artwork you’re seeing there and it doesn’t tell much engaging story or it just feels like fluff that could’ve been told better with limited panels and a better structure. Sometimes it feels like the author just draws his pages in an animator mindset. Like he’s trying to make something bigger than it needs to be with more panels to emphasis an action (or even through a gif animation) when it would’ve been better to limit those moments to keep the pace more snappier. And I guess the same could be said about focusing on one or two plot threads at a time than making new ones. I was told many times by some of the louder fans of the webcomic to have better patience with the pages and appreciate the art and comedy or to not criticize the slow pacing. As if it’s good character and story related to have nearly everything move into a crawl because anything else would “rush the story” (even though everything is going at a glacier pace in some of these pages). But after awhile, I’ve started to realize that these were just excuses for them to silence any criticisms (harsh or otherwise) just so they could enjoy the comic blindly and passively as possible. It’s all pretty telling is what I mean.

Hell. That one thing the commenter said earlier about a character dying? That was to a character that didn’t show up in the comic for a long time (years actually if you’re counting) and the moment they come back are iced a few pages after their reintroduction. It’s not like I’m against the character dying. I just wish they lasted longer for the death to really mean something instead of just being a shocking moment to catch you off.

I’ve got nothing. I think they need to listen to someone besides their asskissers. In this case it really doesn’t matter how big their fanbase is, it’s like they’re breaking the unwritten laws of webcomics.

Hey! I've been wanting to do this for awhile, but I could never figure out how to say what I wanted to. I've come to the conclusion that I probably never will, fully, so I'm gonna take a stab at it— it's long, please bear with me.

I don't usually follow blogs like yours; most of the art you post is of OCs or fandoms I'm not a part of and I generally find it hard to be invested in original non-concept art (I really enjoy world-building concepts, but individual characters are harder for me). OC art tends to be snippets, bits and pieces; the random points of a developing character which makes them difficult for me to connect with even when I like the concept or design because they are often smatterings on a page that maybe even the artist doesn't fully comprehend yet.

Your art always connects.

Something about your way with expressions and body movement weaves so much intent into your work; every character conveys so much emotion and personality that I'm immediately drawn in. I can't accurately describe with words how much your art moves me, I don't know how. It sounds so silly, but the best I've come up with is that your characters look really People. They look alive in a way that I haven't quite experienced in art since the 101 Dalmatians era of Disney sketch animation, where the linework always made it feel like the characters were moving even when they were standing still; like they could breathe.

I look at your artwork and I feel the characters in my chest. You did a piece not long ago of two of your OCs sharing a microphone and I felt the awe; that feeling of the world melting away except the other person onstage— that feeling like maybe they are singing the song just for you.

Your art captures the casual intimacy of people just being; scenes like painting nails and other normal, quiet moments that only show when someone feels safe, comfortable. Your work makes 'nothing' moments have weight; there is an artist I discovered recently, Francine Van Hove, who specializes in these types of scenes and some of your work reminds me of hers.

Of all your works though, my favorite is the truth-or-dare comic and it's sequel. The smug satisfaction of calling a bluff, the casual scoff of dismissal of the dare, the confusion then realization, the weight of anticipation— the build-up, the inevitable conclusion. Whenever I see you pop on my Dash I go look through your recent work then hunt through your OC tag for those comics. It doesn't matter how many times I see them, I get hit with the same level of emotion every time.

Whenever I see your work it speaks to me; it makes me think that this is what art is supposed to feel like. I felt like you should know.

God help me if you ever draw a character from one of my favorite shows.

Hopefully this gets through okay; I've been on Tumblr since like 2012 and I still don't really trust the Ask system not to toss messages into the void haha. I hope this message finds you well and that you have a great day.

Hello!! I really hope it’s okay that I post this. I want to keep it. This means a lot to me, I think it’s way more praise than I feel like I deserve as someone who just draws silly self indulgent stuff for fun. However over the years, the most important thing to me with those drawings has always been conveying emotion. For me it all comes from a place of wanting to express myself and how I feel rather than wanting to “be good at art”.

A message like this telling me that everything I’ve been pouring into my stuff all these years has come across to someone I’ve never met is huge, and incredible, and I don’t even know what to say. I’m really passionate about having that “life” in what I draw, it is what drives me to keep creating, and doing so is such a huge part of who I am. Thank you so much for noticing and for telling me this and for caring about it.

I think those little human moments are the most beautiful, I’m glad I could begin to do a few of them justice. Stuff I make speaking to someone else in any way is the biggest compliment I can get.

Thank you again, I hope your day is wonderful!
