First of all, congratulations, you are truly an artist. If I had to compare your art, I would do it with Mauricio Anton, Rextooth, IsaacOWJ and other famous paleo artists. Also, you have highlighted a saber-toothed feline other than the smilodon and I say congratulations, I even think it is the only comic about a prehistoric animal centered on the homotherium.

Otherwise here is my question, because of your talent, do you plan to produce one or more comics on this theme in the near future that you will sell as Rextooth?

Whoa! High praise indeed! I certainly wouldn't put my art as anywhere near the same caliber as Mauricio Antón but I appreciate the comparison all the same!

Obligatory Mauricio Antón appreciation moment:

As for publishing Kindred, no, it isn't formatted in any way even close to plausible for print!

I make Kindred for fun, and because Homotherium is one of my favourite animals of all time. As you said, I think I'm the first to include it as a main part of any webcomic, and that's neat!

But if I try to monetize Kindred and comic-making, it will start being another job. Right now I like that there is no reason I can't take a break 'just because'.

As mentioned in my pinned post, I have concentration as fickle as the wind and I don't know if/when this hyperfocus will burn out. Maybe it won't and I will actually finish a project for the first time in my life! I hope so! But I am not willing to bet on it c':

June 10th 2077

Happy birthday, V!!

Aahhhh aöskhdfasf I got inspired by a recent character ask where I talked about what a perfect day in Vince's life would look like, and I instanly had the day post-Boat-Drinks in mind. And also recently I revamped my personal hc timeline for Cyberpunk 2077 to incorporate Phantom Liberty into Vince's story and I was like y'know what... the post-Boat-Drinks day would perfectly fit as taking place on V's birthday :3 Spent a decent amount of hours yesterday taking pics (and will publish some of these on their own too cause I love them sm and I had all the feels, and they deserve to shine!) - but for now really wanted to complete this lil rundown in time.

Happy birthday to all the other Vs that celebrate today as well \o/

Just finished watching episode 4 of TADC. As someone with ADHD, chronic depression, and possibly mild Autism, I’ve never felt so seen yet personally attacked at the same time 🥲🫠

hey. so.

didnt plan on reading sonic the movie fanfiction of all things, right? right.

but alas the picture of outsider pov mean bean customer witnessing stone pining on main between movies 1 and 2 was so utterly VIVID in my mind i ended up looking some up.

because i mean. the setup is so obvious, it is practically begging to be written and then read by some fanatical idiot like myself. no way an author hasnt yet taken advantage of the premise.

ONLY TO FIND OUT NOBODY HAS

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?????

I was just thinking and... Artemis is not kind. yes, for all his friendliness, and all the fancy and amicable language and behaviors he displays outwardly to just about everyone who enters his shop... he's not genuinely nice. Artemis is a demon. in any verse of his, he used to be something akin to a spirit/god of LOVE, but was twisted into Wrath, or Hatred - which is the opposite. After leaving the pits of hell, having his little demonic tantrum and breakdown and finally growing weary and finding some semblance of clarity, he's grown out of what he was once again, and became something new. He's still wrathful, hateful, angry, and morose, but now he's so much more without even realizing. He's evolved and will continue to do so over time even if he stagnates for decades, centuries even. The friendships and relationships with other muses that he develops will influence his personality and the way he views things in time, as we've seen it happen already countless times ofc! And for those who did earn his respect and care, he does truly care for them and would gladly go out of his way for them (to what degree depends entirely on the level of closeness). But again.... Artemis is not kind, by nature and he hasn't been for a very, very long time. He was genuinely just plain and simple EVIL He was a villain - a monster, unrecognizable to how he acts now- doing horrible, unspeakable deeds for the pleasure of it. It's how he got the bones he wears in and on his body. So while he might be polite, charming even, and friendly - if he does not know you... he doesn't care about you nor what happens to you. If say for example, he sees you wandering that ruined cityside he lives in - rampant with entities that prey on the Living - and he saves you from being taken by evil spirits or demons? Chances are good that he did it for himself, or to be spiteful - to deny the other entities their prize (you / your soul). If he doesn't know you, the likelihood that he'll go out of his way for you is very low. But if there's something in it for him, some kind of reason as to why it might be worth his time and energy to actually step in... he might! But like all demons, it's good to be wary and to assume he doesn't care about you or your well-being, at least at first!! Artemis is not nice, but that doesn't mean he's malicious or cruel (anymore. not intentionally - he's quite literally under the mindset that he's just 'too old and tired for that nonsense'.) Artemis is manipulative, charming, cunning - he's everything you expect from a demon (though without a host, so he's certainly not attractive in any semblance of a conventional manner lmao - but he dresses well! and I think it's also telling just how-- *gestures at all that* --that he actually is, considering he's NOT attractive... but still puts people at ease, mostly, and can charm them to hell and back if he wanted to. He uses that not to manipulate people per say ?? like, he does not have an evil agenda by any means. He's just existing at this point, distanced from the gods and devils and just living his... life(?) if you can call it that. He's TRYING to do better. But he's still just... a demonic entity. A greater demon, for sure, if he had to be equated to some kind of level or whatever, but a demon nonetheless. But even for demons, there can be growth! and he is growing, very very slowly.

I think my mission is to finish the next chapter zombie fic this weekend and stack up on like…..ideally 3-4 prompts for kinktober.

Proooobably going to make the kinktober fics ~500-1k snippets because last year I think I got ahead of myself by making them like 3-5k each and then hit a wall on day 3 and it was like Id been hit with a banana peel at that point lmao

We shall see if I do it!
