Punk Rock Queen of the Coffee Shop

I’ve been itching to draw Mads for a while now, so here she is. John definitely wrote on that cup with a magic marker.

Maddie is a character from my comic Seemingly Dark. She is the owner of Brew, the coffee shop where much of the story takes place, Mick’s bestie, and a Bleeding Heart Club founding member.

Ragnarok from @seeminglydark

[mil-liminal]

We are coming up on a year since I first released Mil-Liminal to my patreons on my birthday in April, I wanted to put out the first episode here, you can read it on Webtoon, and Tapas, and even further on PATREON or Ko-Fi, and my book will be printed in June, but here’s a little taste of Caro’s story.

If you choose to check it out, I hope you enjoy it! I’ve been working very hard on it for so long.

Read it on Tapas, or Webtoon by searching for Mil-liminal or raptorjules

Some of My Favorite Webcomic Characters and Why:

Austen - Always Human by Walkingnorth

Your average college student experience—stressed out to the point of breaking but refusing to acknowledge it because of the societal pressure to stick with a career choice you made before you were old enough to pay taxes. The first time I'd ever been able to fully project myself onto a character. Heavily relate to crying or anger as a reaction to all strong emotions.

Lakka - Shoot Around

Ran around post-zombie apocalypse singing about her crush while killing zombies with her bare hands. Got completely blindsided by all of her friends deciding to split off to do their own thing, and then became a fashion designer about it. And got the girl in the end.

Juliette - The Beast of Hadingly Hill by HoratioMarissa

I don't know if I can put into words how much I adore her. She's adorable, protective of her girlfriend attendant. Immediately threatens to fire anyone who even looks at Mallory wrong. And she's a monster?? Everyone is being waaaaay to mean about her appearance, btw.

Brahm - A Spell For A Smith by ArtSasquatch

World's Most Respectful Man. His dynamic with Ivy and dedication to making her feel comfortable is adorable. I love when male characters with a tragic backstory are allowed to be kind and decent to other people instead of getting the Manwha ML treatment.

Michaelis - Clinic of Horrors by Merryweather and PokuriMio

Literally just wants to go to school. The greatest friend ever, would NOT let you be brainwashed into joining a cult run by a fungal infection piloting a dead body. Black hair, red eyes, and a monster??? Hello??? He fills all the requirements, guys!

A/Apollo/Avery - Seemingly Dark by RaptorJules

Looks Squishy. His dynamic with Rose is cute. Idk, he vibes like someone you want to wrap in blankets and give hot chocolate to and that sort of kicked-puppy energy appeals to me. Also whatever tragic backstory he's got going on has to be, like, The Tragic Backstory Ever and I don't even know what it is yet.

Eulalie - Nevermore by Kate Flynn and Kit Trace

The random trivia and occult facts?? The head-empty energy despite clearly being very intelligent? We are the same person. Her Spector having the ability to take away other people's Spectors has so much narrative potential and pretty much means she solos everyone. Also purple hair, eccentric personality, and potentially sapphic? She fills all of the requirements, guys!

The UFO keychain I made for @raptorjules based on the one from their comics! 🛸

Comic Shout Out

Some of these are Really underrated. If I can get even one more person to read these comics, I'd be so happy.

Magefront: a cheery necromancer goes to college to become a war hero

Widdershins: old timey fantasy london with a fun cast and intertwining stories.

Children of Eldair: a dangerous isekai being shown through a past-scrying spell with its own mystery

Icy Copper: This one just finished on webtoons. A great story of friendship between outcasts from seperate worlds. With some fantasy shape shifting.

Selina moon bride: on webtoons. CRAZY good art.

Seemingly dark: doesnt update super often, but its a crazy good supernatural story with a very intresting main cast.

Suihira: the city of water: follows an ocean worshipper in a desert world

The dragon tutor: gives you wiplash in the best way. Amazing fantasy world and characters that you get invested in.

Lets cast off: very gay, very drama, very sailing. All types of ships. Also finished.

Blonde sunrise: a monster hunter becomes bound to a young werewolf. What does he do now? Fantasy mystery stuff.

A Lockwood & co AU for Caro from Mil-liminal

I've been listening to the podcast and had to make this for them!

[autistic-plumbob]

Okay. I recently came across this webcomic called Seemingly Dark, and I have to tell you it’s AMAZING. The art is *chefs kiss*, the story is so good, and I’ve read three chapters in the last 24 hours. It’s the only thing I can think of right now, I just have to continue reading. I won’t spoil anything (as of now) but I have to say. I recommend!!

@seeminglydark is the author, and I would def recommend their Tumblr!

[seeminglydark]

Whoa, yeah Kickstart my heart, give it a start!

The centerfold! (clothed version, the alt version will be on patreon.) Freshly famous, freshly top-surgery'd GasCo Era Caro ready to bench press you, mothman ink isnt done yet, only outlines, and everytime they do a shoot, everyone insists they wear the snapback. Why is this one Johns fave? Cuz its so clear they are having a great time posing with their bike, Kasper, 80's power ballads playing in the background, and that this person is super comfortable in their skin and happy.

Caro Greene is from my comics Seemingly Dark and Mil-Liminal, an answer to this cute mini comic i did a few days ago <3

[messmagu]

My version of Caro, for @raptorjules dtiys!! For the release of their first graphic novel!! Printed!! Which is incredibly cool, both the story and the fact that they're printing it!! Congrats!!

I love Caro so much, i wanted to draw them for a while now, but never got around it, but now i really couldn't let this occasion pass

A man and his kitten

Lil John and Creaky sketch. My shoulder is slowly feeling better and I found some strength to do a lil sketch of @seeminglydark ‘s John and his lil kitten Creaky (specifically from the Creaky Arc of the comic, so cute and so wholesome and emotional!!).

I just.. love them so much, and look at how much they love each other aah!

[ID: a digital illustration of Caro Green (a thin, non-binary, light-skinned person with white hair) speaking into a mic. They wear an unbuttoned retro shirt, a hot pink belt, and jean shorts. Behind them is a yellow spotlight on a dark background. End ID]

I am not immune to the siren calls of either DTIYS or @raptorjules delightful characters, so please enjoy this little piece of everyone's favorite small medium doing their thing

[shouts-into-the-void]

My favorite type of media is that niche genre that's basically Slice of Life + The Horrors, in which the characters consist of Just Some Guy™ and a bunch of people just trying to live their lives and one or more of them just happen to be some weird supernatural creature. Hijinks ensue.

Cheeky little bonus piece for @raptorjules because I couldn't pass up the chance to do a redraw of this scene from the comics <3
