Hii! I have been recently getting more and more obsessed with your art and webcomic and was wondering if I could use your art as like a profile picture? (With credit!!) If not that's perfectly fine! :)
yeah you can use my art for whatever as long as you're not stealing it or selling it
I don't mind if people print my art out for themselves either. I do sell prints, but it doesn't bother me either way
In general I don't post anything that I haven't made my peace with all that comes with sharing my art publicly! So feel free to use it as you please pretty much.
Giving me credit for the things I've made is respectful and helps me in my career, and I would hope that most people intend to respect my work... And the people who don't respect my work were never going to whether I asked or not.
I make my work for other people to enjoy it, I want you to enjoy it!
#I sort of have a general thought process that like.#the main thing of my work is... my comics!#and thats my writing and my drawing and its these huge longform things#that to be quite honest. would be a ton of work to steal LMFAO#but theyre more intrinsically connected to me#knowing the name of the comics and the characters#looking for more. it's me. like it's always gonna come back to me...#But I also in general as a person... I sort of hate the concept of copyright#it plays at the idea of benefitting artists but the intent is to benefit corporations#and artists get screwed out of owning their OWN WORK for the benefit of said corporations...#The things that copyright are meant to protect are things that wouldnt matter if we werent living in CAPITALISM!!!#I wouldnt CARE if someone stole my stuff if I didnt have to worry about potential lost customers#so. I just try to lead my life and my art in ways that reflect my ideals#which is like... yeah go ahead. use it for whatever#I expect you to respect me and if you don't then I know it doesnt matter what I ask for. because it wasnt going to be respected anyways.#if you feel bad taking my stuff or printing it out yourself or whatever you can throw a couple bucks my way#helps me pay the bills lmao#but if you don't its fine. I'll be okay and it won't ruin me.#asks#anon#this isnot me saying yeah go ahead and steal my art LMAO#this is just like yeah as long as you arent saying or implying you made my work#or selling it when I am selling that same thing (stealing my money from me)#then. like. whatever#doesnt affect me negatively at all. I made my art for other people to enjoy it#I want you to enjoy it!

10 facts about trixie!
Oh wow, totally forgot I got this meme earlier this month??Iâm sorry, buddy!
10 Trixie Facts:
* The protagonist adopted her, and theyâd only been together for about three or four years before the zombie apocolypse started. But theyâre absolutely, utterly a fire-forged bond that can never be broken. Mum spent like a decade trying to adopt a child, every time Trixie doubts that sheâs really wanted her mother has a whole cabinet full of paperwork proving otherwise! And Trixie doubts so much because she was a âmultiple offenderâ at the foster home, she was almost adopted several times but all the people before Ms Boyd always returned her before even a year had passed. She was considered a problem case and so she became one, she became a cynical mess who never even tried anymore. But somehow this lady just would not give up on her no matter how much she tried to chase her away, and now sheâs finally got the first stable home in her lifetime, and her first experience of a good parent......whiiiiich ended up being a problem, because Mum Boydâs excessive optimism has led to keeping her daughterâs zombie around and pretending like nothing has happened. Trixie never predicted the full extent of her motherâs dedication on that day she asked âplease never give up on meâ.* At the start of the game, zombified Trixieâs awareness of this weird tall person who follows her around is pretty much a constant doubt emoji. So probably Iâm gonna mix it up with occasional comedic interludes from her perspective, to break up all tha sad. Plus also to make it clear that this zombies do actually have some degree of a soul, and this isnât just a story thereâs no point in reading cos its guaranteed to have a bad ending.ANYWAY WHERE WAS IThe only part of herself she initially retained (aside from adorable grumpyness) was just this weird voice in the back of her head saying âDonât eat this one.â And sheâs pretty frustrated that it doesnât even have the decency to run away like the others!She doesnt really know that sheâs forgotten anything, so sheâs been like
âWhy is it here. What is happening. Its shaped like a thing but it isnât. Why wonât it go away.âJust a wild haze of comparing this thingâs behaviours VS every other human, seriously where is the correlation, what is wrong with this âmumâ and how do you define a âmumâ. Is it like some sort of elite human superweapon??And even the heartfelt moments are totally ruined when you see inside Trixieâs head and sheâs just like âWHY IT TOUCH MEâ. Just slow zoom in on her terrified face mid-hug and the meme calculations fly across the screen..
* Eventually the conclusion she comes to is âIt canât be a food, it has to be another zombie.âWhen she first started trusting her mother again, it was from the perspective of a fellow predator, essentially. I mean, we have this nest here and we go hunting and scavenging together, right? We have those great bonding experiences like when we fought all those âbanditâ! But this thing never seems to eat anything, and its weirdly obsessed with stuff that doesnât matter, like these âmoneyâ that hurt my teeth.Conclusion: This is just a stupid zombie that needs my help to learn how to zombie.So sheâs like a patronizing but affectionate tough love mentor to the Stupid Tall One, and sometimes she humours her and does the weird thing where you grab but do not eat each other. And I mean.. its a pretty sweet deal! It may be stupid but itâs tall! And it has a stick that goes boom! All i have to do in return is wear these weird itchy wool skins on top of my skin and not eat the other tall stupid things. It must be saving those for later.
* Aaaa I kinda have stopped doing Facts and its more like Iâm just explaining the characterâs story
* What number even is this
* OKAY ACTUALLY A TRIVIA FACT:Trixie has a weird fascination with those shampoo bottles shaped like fishes.Or I might make up a new original equivelant to avoid copyright issues, lol. Some sort of animal-shaped packaging with a collectable aspect! I thought it would be a fun thing you could find in the game. This ruined post-apocolyptic world and youâre trying to assemble the full set just to see your kid smile again, even if only for a moment. Surprisingly sad moments from shampoo fish!Tho cos Trixie is so grumpy and cynical sheâs a bit embarassed about this silly hobby and tries to deny it at every turn. Just like *ASBSOLUTE BEAMING KAWAII EYES* âI hate it. I hate it so much it must sit on this shelf so I can hate it forever.âI was thinking maybe even they could kinda fullfill a small purpose as a mini portable garden? Youâd modify them into small plantpots and could grow some minor herbs and flowers that you can carry around in your backpack. Just a nice way to make things feel a bit more normal, which is kinda necessary to our protagonist momâs mental health. optimism meter or somethin?
* She likes her hat a lot. I probably need to figure out how to draw it looking more beaten up and less matching with the rest of her outfit, its meant to be one of the few things she kept when she was just a regular roaming zombie. It was like the first sign her mum had that she did at least remember something of her old life.Oh, and her mum likes collecting different badges to put on it. It started off as kinda similar to putting a bell on a cat so you know when its trying to escape, but now Trixieâs grown to like this strange human invention of the jangly forehead noise. Sheâs learned to take it off when the two of them are doing stealth operations, and even use it as a distraction to misdirect the enemy. Or to get away from the Tall Stupid One for a moment. Seriously what a dope, this âmumâ actually thinks its got me trapped! (Though the mittens are far harder to outsmart, who invented this evil hand covering?)
* Gameplay-wise, i think Trixie would be like a powerful speedster compared to other zombies. Kids surviving the infection isnt very common, and they usually die off quickly. Theyâre obviously not as strong as normal ones and theyre not exactly gonna get any stronger. But her advantage is that sheâs more mobile because thereâs kinda less complex machinery to animate, yknow? Sheâs got more speed and sheâs smaller than pretty much every other enemy on both sides of this conflict, she can rush in with a kind of stealth and dexterity nobody expected zombies to possess.And the condition progresses faster in younger hosts, so the more supernatural side of her abilities is already manifesting early on. Her conciousness isnt really coherant enough to learn how to use it though, at the start its just like randomized limit break type bursts of shadow energy.Though, I mean, this doesnât mean that she isnât a physical attacker. Sheâs just more like long strings of multiple-hit combos, getting the same result even with her much lower attack stats. And still, even a weak zombie is stronger than the strongest human, aka the mum. mum is like a super survival hulk who can lift a damn sofa over her head, but that doesnt really help when fighting zombs so sheâs usually a ranged gunner instead. I feel like its gonna work in a kind of elemental triangle with like.. human ranged/âtech attacksâ are effective against zombies, and melee isnt, but then zombie melee is super powerful and they arent able to compete with humans when it comes to ranged strategy. And then when the enemy is human vs human, you have a lot more trouble doing complex gunfighting, and your melee can actually compete against each other. or something. iâll figure out whatever works best!
* Oh, but I think trixie also has more tech attacks than other zombies, because her personality as a human was very cynical and always prepared for anything. But sheâd start off with no techs and only develop them as she regains her memories.One cute idea I had was her being able to turn soda cans and mentos into distraction grenades, and then like one out of ten attacks actually deals damage instead. Cos when youâve got everyone frustrated dodging your exploding cans, they dont expect just a full can of tuna to bean them in the forehead XD
* I havenât fully developed the circumstances of how she got infected, but I think itâs something where both her and her mom blame themselves for it. Like, maybe it was a confrontation with bandits or something, and Trixie did something reckless that led to them getting caught? But then Mum is like âoh god I failed to proect youâ and blames herself for her naive shonen protagonist optimism causing her to fall for some sort of trick, and then Trixie got bitten while saving her from it. So really they both messed up, its just tragic that only one of them lived to learn from it...
* Oh and for Maximum Tragedy, I donât think it was even a fatal wound. It was probably like just a really small scratch and Mum kept trying to reassure Trixie that it would be fine, sinking into delusion while her poor 11 year old kid is the one who realized she was gonna die and was the only one willing to do something about it. So she had to suffer slowly fading away from illness over the next week, being TERRIFIED that her mum was refusing to let her go, and any second now she could become a zombie and kill her while she wouldnt even try to defend herself. So in the end, while Mum was all sitting in the corner all âha.. ha... its just an ordinary cold... gotta stay positiveâ, Trixie packed a small bag of personal effects and ran away into the night, to find a place to die alone.in the end though, she left it too late and couldnt make it very far. Her last memory as she lay there dying was seeing the silhouette of her mother appearing on the horizon and knowing sheâd failed to protect her :(
* Fun fact: no failure of protection actually happened, the two of them are both still around one year later, and if this writer has any say in it then Iâm gonna find some damn way to write a happy ending.>:(
