#thank you so so so so much for reading and enjoying my comic

[66sharkteeth]

I just wanted to say that even though I'm a mostly silent reader, never really commenting on episodes and rarely interacting on the discord, CoB is by far my absolute favorite comic I've probably ever read. I dont doubt for a second that there are many more out there like me, silently gushing over every new episode and excitedly theorizing with their friends.

Even when CoB reaches its end, I will 100% be sticking around for anything else you make.

thank you. im ngl, there's a big irrationality in me that feels like im only writing this comic for like 15 people sometimes. ik that's completely untrue, but it can really feel like that, especially when i step outside the bubble of webtoon and try to share or talk about the comic anywhere else. i've full on just...stopped posting on instagram, because it's just so defeating and exhausting every time i post. I know there's more than 15 people reading my work, but boy its harder to tell myself that every time I post outside of webtoon. i only continue to post here because i've put no effort into growing this so i don't feel as disappointed when only 20 of my 700k followers on webtoon see it.

ik this completely dismisses my silent followers, which i know there are a lot of, and i'm trying really hard to account for them. but man, it's really hard. and i dont think how lonely the process is helps either. i remember numbers never used to bug me as much when i had a close friend to gush about OCs and ideas with, but now that i just gotta kind of do it all myself and be my own cheerleader with nobody to gush about upcoming stuff to, its doubly defeating when it finally posts and nobody's that excited. i don't know how i can feel so alone when there's a good amount of people who follow me, but the whole thing is an incredibly isolating process and it's just gotten so much worse with declining readership and algorithms doing everything they can to make sure nobody sees my work.

sorry if i veered off a bit, but it's been on my mind lately haha. i appreciate every reader so much, silent and vocal. like no seriously, you guys are literally the only thing keeping me going bc i know we're supposed to "create for ourselves" and stuff, but i think most people at least have a friend or partner that they're gushing about their OCs and stuff with, but i just have you guys lol. so thank you for reading, enjoying, and giving me someone to actually share my creations with.

[traceyc-uk]

hello! i'd just like to say, i've been obsessively reading your hogwarts legacy comics and your oc has very much inspired me to keep drawing through artblock recently hehe.

besides that, if you're comfortable does MC have a name? and also, do you prefer to go by any names or pronouns yourself?

sincerely, a supportive (+ very shy) mutual!

Hi hello and thank you for such a sweet message! Am so familiar with that feeling too, is not fun but am happy to hear you found some motivation through my drawings 🫠 also though, try not to pressure yourself, you deserve breaks as well and enjoying the process ♥️

I never did and probably am reluctant to name him now. My game saves have daft names and everyone in-game keeps referring to you anyway as the New Fifth Year or the New Student I just got used to it and carried that through to this character. I’m also mega shy but feel free to dm if you feel comfortable enough and need some support yourself 🙈✨ I’m she/ they

[deoidesign]

Sorry for the spam like but I CANT BELIEVE I RANDOMLY FOUND YOU ON TUMBLR. I LOVE YOUR COMIC DEARLY !!!!! Ive reread it several times and it hits every time

never apologize for spam liking that is you kissing me on the mouth. I love you.

#thank you so so so so much for reading and enjoying my comic #putting that in the tags cause I cant think of a funny way to say it LOL #asks #bnha--textposts #but seriously. thank you #that makes me very happy #really weird to see people like 'ADAM AND STEVE???' in the notes of the cane post LMAO #and also same feeling when people were like 'THE RELIGIOUS TRAUMA ARTIST IS THE SAME AS THE TIME AND TIME AGAIN ARTIST??' #like. hi :] I'm just drawing #feels weird I'm just a guy

[lunarharp]

figured i'd do this again..bit early i guess..

#to cheer me up.. i feel bad atm.. these things don't even make me feel very good tho bc i'm such a narrative/sketch-based artist.. #but Proper Beautiful Finished Pieces are what grab attention and look good at the end of the year all neatly lined up lol..... #so looking at a “yearly review” where i can only choose 'the best image of the month' (??) is like...What have i even been doing... #i did a month by month look back on twt for myself instead..but even that doesn't express the quantity of comic-based stuff.. #that i do put a lot of time/heart into..but alas i feel bad bringing even them back..RTing/reblogging my own art simply feels bad lol.. #AND WHY IS IT ALL B&W...trying to accept that i LIKE doing that and sketching and scribbling..not like i'm trying to like..Get Artist Job.. #this year was so profoundly lonely at times bc i spent all my time drawing instead of socialising and trying to find friends.... #please please please have achieved more of your dreams in the future so you can look back at 2023 and think.. #It was good that happened so that it got me further to the future. Or whatever i guess..................... #regardless i did have a great amount of fun drawing and improving this year and dwelling deeply & heavily on witch hat atelier. #art-wise and emotionally....march july & september were the best months i think..AUGUST WAS SO WEIRD SUMMER IS SO EVIL ALWAYS. #thank you very much if you are reading this for enjoying & leaving nice tags & such like <3 i've realised how fulfilling that is to receive #really keeps me posting stuff here instead of keeping it all to myself in my head #i wish everyone in this world could have a safe and happy end of year. i wish living in this world were easier

I am now obsessed with the idea of Mr L, thank you so much for your comic bringing his existence to my attention ❤️ Is there any other media for the character you would recommend? (Art, comics, fics, etc)

@cherryfennec is definitely the first one that comes to mind. Their art is S-tier in general, and their Super Paper Mario & Mr. L stuff is no exception.

@jell-o101 also has a couple of comics that focus on Mr. L (Be warned, Jello is renowned for her angst. Guard your heart well, she will do her best to rip it out.)

A user named lethalhedgehogs was the one who first opened my eyes to Mr. L's character possibilities. Unfortunately, they're no longer active :( but if you type "lethalhedgehogs tumblr" into the google image search engine you'll get plenty of links to reblogs of their stuff.

And with that uuuuuuuhhhh I'll hand the baton off to @legobiwan because as far as my dashboard goes, they seem like the most equipped to guide you down the SPM/Mr. L rabbit hole.

#askbox #manynerdthings #Also thank you! Glad you're enjoying my comic so much! #sorry to anyone I forgot. My brain is mush. #and for all the fics I write I don't really read a lot of them unfortunately ><

[shkika]

Hewwo. I think everyone should draw their favorite designs from Shkika.tumblr.com immediately. Active NOW

Ksen basically grabbed me and told me to push this out please feel no pressure to do this dear goodness.

#also sorry for being quiet! #its been hard for me #thats all! #this month will be slower due to deadlines but ill get back on my feet with more art! #ask #ksenya-and-the-artistic-cucumber #everyone who has given me kind words #i read all of them #i wish i could express how much it means that you enjoy my art #and comics and such #so no pressure as i said! #ill be reblogging all fanart as i usually do so make sure to tag me if you do this #thank you ksen so much

In case you missed the most recent episode of Rose Tide Rising, here’s a little reminder to go check it out!

And if you’re new to the comic, RTR follows the adventures of a princess and a pirate who have each been handed lots by Fate that they wish were different... One is an immovable object and one is an unstoppable force. But maybe their lives colliding will divert them from their prophecies? ;)

It’s got romance, adventure, horror, laughs and gasps and some very sexy monsters :3c and it’s entirely free to read! Just click the bolded caption above ^_^

#its also made entirely by one person: me! #and I appreciate every single read and like and comment #as it lets me know people are enjoying the story! #so thank you so much to everyone who gives it a shot #rtr comic #rose tide rising #webtoon #webtoon canvas #webcomic #my art

WIP Intro - Colour WIP

When a Purple mage – part of the serving class – is found and saved from following her colours expectations, she joins an overambitious heist crew, looking to obliterate a device that could change the world as they know it.  As she learns more about the world and her magic, she slowly comes to realise that real life isn’t quite as perfect as the stories she was told…

Starring!

Fina Luceros: Purple mage, sheltered from the outside world for fear of her being snatched away and groomed into servitude. Idealistic dreamer, anticipates things to be much more exciting than they end up being. Eleven years old and eager to please.

Red: Red mage, living legend, survived a typically deadly colour swarm and emerged changed from the event. Leader of the heist crew and the one who stopped Fina being snatched away. Arrogant and head-strong, often looks down on others for not matching his skill level. Completely blind.

Clem: Orange mage. Expelled student who was studying the effects of colour storms (and their absence) on mages. Badly affected by an old orange storm, and feels the impact of it quite consistently. Cannot stand Red.

Sunny: Yellow mage. Stoic and serious, speaks very rarely, mostly uses sign language to be understood.

Lief: Green mage. Non-nonsense, runs the business behind the scenes. Excellent kickass grandma vibes. Wants to be Normal.

Brighton Blackling: Blue mage, heir to a very powerful conglomerate and determined to keep it that way. Scientist and inventor. Obnoxious asshole, looks down on nearly everyone for pretty much everything. The one who called for and is funding the heist.

Bernadette Blackling: Magicless, Brighton's younger sister, desperate to inherit the family business. Diligent socialite with a heart of ice. Methodical and ruthless, working hard to out-do her brother and earn the inheritance, and created:

Elan Soot: White mage, failed test subject in Bernadette's bid to create a mage able to control all colours. Emerged stripped of and tormented by any pigment - works to bleach them out and make a 'perfect' world for themselves. Red's supposedly dead sibling, Bernadette's lover. Impulsive and abrupt.

Featuring fucked up sibling dynamics, a cutthroat gang trying to push the boundaries of what lowerclassmen can do, sentient and mood-altering magic, and cycles of behaviour that repeat over and over and over, often ending with abrupt betrayal.

Brain is currently shaking a different story around so yknow #but I am eager to write it one day. Really been getting into even the secondary characters which is great I think??? #they don't just feel like fillers they feel like they fit into the world better and their actions and choices have impact still? #I worry about Fina sometimes but I like her too much to lose her. For now. we shall see #hope you enjoy! Yeah! Thanks for reading! See you soon! #new comic sans powerpoint dropping soon :)

hc + 😡 for a headcanon about something that makes them angry

Thematic Headcanons.

ARTHUR. 😂 Actually, that's not entirely true - Stoplight does hold anger towards Aquaman, for intruding in their territory and stealing their prey, for collapsing their territory and sealing away the rest of his kind beneath the earth's crust. Stoplight understands something else though; Aquaman wasn't the cause of them dying. They were already a dying race before he came to save the people they'd taken as food for their Queen, having long since exhausted their hunting grounds to satiate her endless appetite.

What angered Stoplight was not being able to understand why they were dying. He would hunt and hunt, feeding younger members of his kind that didn't seem to grow stronger no matter how much they were given. Truthfully it was lack of nourishment taking it's toll on an already dwindling gene pool, causing too many of their children to be born weak, if they even managed to live long enough to draw their first breath of water. They failed to thrive, and that failure was his, having failed to get enough food, the right sort of food to make them better again. They had to swim further, towards the surface in hopes of finding something to strengthen their Queen, ensuring enough of her young grew strong enough to make it out of the nursery. But now Stoplight doesn't worry about that anymore. Now his kind lie buried beneath a mountain of rubble, what's left of them anyway. Perhaps in some strange way, it was some small mercy for the Trench, having no other option than to hunt in a world they didn't belong in, where others would grow angry their own children were being taken away to feed others not of their kind, and perhaps come for revenge. It is a lot for him to take in but that anger has quelled, simmering quietly below the surface along the magma quietly cooling over Stoplight's old home. Now there is only silence, leaving a world where Stoplight has no idea what to do with himself now he's alone. It makes him fearful, and fear is what makes him angry.

#dramatisperscnae #memes ;; thematic headcanons #🫧 || headcanons #Thank you so much for sending this in! #I really enjoyed that beautiful post of yours yesterday and kind of? Wanted to put Stoplight's perspective on it? #Yeah he's pissed at Arthur but he was more of a finality than a cause #The Trench were already suffering before he came #And neither had no choice but to do what they did #Stoplight doesn't really get the concept of forgiveness but that seed of understanding's been planted #I read that comic and Arthur's compassion broke my heart #Mera called their young spawn but he rightfully called them children 😔

Creator Spotlight: @themetalhiro

Hi, I’m Metal! I’m a freelance artist from good ol’ New Jersey. My favorite things to work with are a lot of bright colors, exaggerated poses, and candid scenarios. I try to farm sensible chuckles whenever I can, so I’m also big into comics. I love making them about my life, and the media I’m into, and one day I’d like to publish my own series!  Thank you to everyone who has gotten me this far!!

Check out Metal's interview below!

Did you originally have a background in art? If not, how did you start?

I guess so! It’s funny, I don’t remember a single time in my life that I wasn’t drawing as a hobby… somewhere in middle school (a little late, I know.) I put the pieces together that animated movies were made by artists, and that it wasn’t just for fun, they were paid to do it. The moment I discovered people could be paid to make art, I decided I would do that, too. Now I’m here!

How has your style developed over the years?

I think the best way to answer this would be with an example! Over the last few years, I have made more of an effort to draw more intentionally, which sounds silly. Now, I put more thought into my poses and step out of my comfort zone with shape language and composition. I had a phase where I drew everyone with a huge, perfectly circular head and no nose. That definitely did not lend much variety...

Which 3 famous artists (dead or alive) would you invite to your dinner party?

Ack! I’m so terrible at history! I’d love to give a well-thought-out answer about fine artists of old, but I don't think we’d have much in common… Most artists I admire and who have driven me forward creatively are the people behind comics I’ve read. Andrew Hussie, Bryan Lee O’Malley, Eiichiro Oda... these guys have inspired me greatly and had a heavy influence in developing my art style and sense of humor. I’d love to ask them questions about their processes and upcoming projects. I think it would make for an entertaining night!

Over the years as an artist, what were your biggest inspirations behind your creativity?

Outside of pure aesthetics like searing bright colors, layered clothing, and loud noises…. the best and most inspiring moments in my life were those surrounded by friends and loved ones! I cherish the hell out of memories of hanging around in fun locations, trying weird food together, and impromptu midnight walks... so I try my best to capture that atmosphere and my own memories in my work when I can, even if I’m imposing fictional characters on top of them. That’s always the core of it.

What is a medium that you have always been intrigued by but would never use yourself?

I would never permanently refuse a medium, but every time I pick up clay, I’m like a baby using its hands for the first time. Absolutely dreadful. If one day I could make and paint a figurine like the ones I admire in videos, that would be awesome... But for now, I’m not counting on it.

How do you want to evolve as a creator?

I’ve had an absolute blast drawing fanart over the years, and it’s certainly played a massive role in my growth as an artist. But my dream has always been to publish my own stories for y'all to enjoy! I have lots of worlds I want to introduce to you before I’m old and gray. I want to get faster, work harder, and get better at drawing interesting settings so I can get the wheels turning as soon as possible. I also want to stop avoiding the color blue like a coward.

What do you wish you knew when you first started out creating art that you know now?

Pay your taxes quarterly. Tablets will break at the exact moment you need them most, so have a spare. Wear your blue light glasses. You’re going to need to wear a brace on every joint on the right side of your body. It can be lonely sitting at your desk all day. The car on the side of the road that costs $1000 cash….. don’t trust it!!!

Who on Tumblr inspires you and why?

@cranity—They use absolutely beautiful colors and weighty line work. Everything looks so sharp and clean! I wanna put it all up on my wall!

@vewn—Their ability to crank out quality short films and illustrations packed with detail is incredible. The off-kilter perspective they use really sells disorientation and catches your attention like nothing else.

@nelnal—They have absolutely banger character designs again and again, I can’t believe one person’s mind can come up with so many creative ideas!

@jinx88kc—They have a beautiful and recognizable style, and the way they incorporate animation into their illustrations sometimes is SO cool!

Thanks for stopping by, Metal! For more of Metal’s work, follow their Tumblr, @themetalhiro!

A Little Bump on the Head

Prompt: As your and Simon’s little man is exploring the living room, he bumps his head. Simon is almost more upset than the baby is. [Requested by anonymous]

Featuring: Simon "Ghost" Riley x GN!Reader

Word Count: 0.6k

Warnings: none

You were so relieved when the little man started to entertain himself.

Watching birds and dogs outside, building blocks, sorting colorful balls and toys, climbing through a series of tunnels made by his daddy from recycling.

Simon was home as much as possible, deployments never being more than a week, and demanding desk-duty or training on base. But it was still hard to run a two-adult one-infant household with both of you only getting a few hours of home-making between you. 

And sometimes, both of you needed some sleep. Sometimes he had a late night at work. Sometimes baby decided to scream at 4 AM and scare both of you so horribly that you couldn’t fall back asleep even after the baby was all snork mi mi mi.

You were re-reading some comics on the couch, encouraging the little man as he scribbled on his coloring pages or crawled to follow the robot vacuum. Once Simon finished loading the dishwasher, he came in and flopped on top of you.

“Ohhhh, what a comfortable pillow.”

“Heavy,” you grunted, freeing your arms and wrapping them around your husband.

“You callin’ me fat?”

“Just a smidgen. In a sexy way.”

Your baby suddenly sat up and vocalized. A happy smile when his dad waved. With a great heave, he pulled himself up on the chair and started making his way over to you.

Eager coos and cheers from both of you, as he waddled from the chair to the coffee table.

A hiccup! An obstacle! Your son falls on his bum. But he perseveres and pulls himself back up again.

But he misjudges and bonks his head on the underside of the coffee table instead. He falls back on his rear. And his sweet face crumbled and flushed as he started to cry.

Both of you jerked forward, reaching for him and starting to comfort him. Simon rolled off you  and onto the floor and scooped the boy up in his arms.

“Oh, bubba,” he hushed, cradling the lightly bumped head into his chest, “it’s alright. You’re alright.”

You wrapped around your husband and gently rubbed your son’s back. He stopped fussing fairly quickly, just sniffling and holding on tight to his daddy.

The top of your boy’s head had only a slight bump on it; nothing you needed to worry about. A light reddened line where he hit the corner, and not even that raised of an egg. He had done this a couple times before.

You looked to Simon to reassure him that the boy was okay and almost started tearing up yourself. The baby was quietly leaning into his daddy’s chest, and your husband was the one fighting back tears.

“Baby,” you coo, cupping Simon’s face in your hands and kissing his cheek. Then kissing your son’s before he could get jealous. “Baby, he’s fine. Just a little bump. He’s had worse.”

Simon nodded, not trusting his voice, and kissed the top of the baby’s head.

A few minutes later, the boy was crawling through his cardboard maze. Moisturized. Flourishing. Living his best life. And now you had your husband in your arms.

“He’s alright.”

“I know but he bumped his head while coming to see me-”

“Shush. Not your fault.” You leaned him back and pinched his nose.

“He’s just learning his gross motor skills. It happens.”

Simon rubbed his nose. “They’re not gross.”

You almost laughed in his face, but didn’t, you were a good spouse. He was still upset. “As in gross motor skills versus fine motor skills.”

“... Oh.”
