sorry i have been very absent from the tumblr scene. yeah, no. i was going through a whole mental shift. evolution. change. thing. it's hard to explain and i would love to say it's been hard but i have had amazing support -- okaywell mostly the support has been amazing aside from the 3 people who decided that because i wasn't breaking myself to make sure they got their personalized fanfiction fast enough, several years of friendship didn't mean anything. absolutely fucking wild. man! anyway, more art soon.

#text post #obsessed with people who say they will stick by one's side through thick and thin but what they mean is #'when you have stopped having value you will be DEAD to me' its so cool #it's my favorite #anyway i wish 3 people a VERY 'lie in those beds' and everyone else a super 'art is hard to make right now but soon'

Dub is what is known as a Chimera --- a being made by mashing magic and monster/humanoid pieces together to create something new. The life he knew was confined to the place he was made in; a terrible tribute to academia that ended up being ruined by hubris. His creators were studying creatures with powers involving the mind and eventually, they succeeded in capturing an aboleth. This aboleth would soon cause the downfall of all of their learning --- and in the process, it took control of Dub for some time and used him for its own purposes. A lot of time went by but eventually, Dub was able to not only kill but actually eat the aboleth in a form of revenge that would completely alter his tired mind. He is, by himself, absolutely terrifying but had remained where he was made until two people showed up to try and kill him due to rumors circulating in a nearby town. Now he has more or less been adopted by them and is learning how to actually be a person and is experiencing a lot for the first time. Horribly observant/smart, he has a lot of fucking energy and is pretty wild most of the time. Always down for a fight --- and he has a weird thing about bread bowls. Rather, he will not consume soup unless it is in one. Dub is a Soulknife + Aberrant Mind combo that specializes in psionic powers. He relies on psychic blades, mind sliver, shatter, and a few other sneaky things when it comes to holding his own in a fight.

Worked real hard on this. I can't wait to actually make more.

I know this is wild but I might start using my blog to ... communicate about my little guys. My blorbos. My special little interests. What if I did that? Who could possibly stop me? Nobody.

Everyone knows that one of the most dangerous things you can do as a webcomic artist is go back and redo your old pages as your art gets better; it puts you in a strange loop where you end up working on past pages more than continuing the comic itself.

If I am being honest? I really dislike the work that is Continue, visually. The comic is absolutely my most tremendous success and wild failure; I worked so hard on that book from its conception to publishing it ... and holding it in my hands makes me feel so strange. Happy that I did it, but also eager to show the world that I can do so much better now. I think that is why so many people jump back --- that exact feeling, but I am generally able to get the accomplished feeling simply by redoing old pieces that were stand-alone while that comic was running.

The Lazarus print was supposed to be a Kickstarter Reward for everyone who wanted it and I vaguely remember going through Office Max to print them, at the time. Like all of my art back in 2020, the old piece was done on my iPad with the iPencil --- a device that I still struggle to use. Since then I have upgraded to a Wacom tablet again and have been making use of the stabilization feature and vector lines in CSP. It's changed the game and it's also helped push me more to learn how to make things actually look how I want. I changed my main "brush" and vibe to be something a bit more scratchy and sketchy like I have always wanted --- rather than adhere to the perfectly clean cell-shade vibe of most webtoons. This allowed me to grow so much, and after joining a group of artists and learning from them and trading know-hows back and forth ... I am where I am at, today. Making a new comic with the same heroes as that first book --- but at a point where things have changed. I'm thrilled about Ghost Getters and where it is going but it's hard not to look BACK at stuff and be in awe at how far I have managed to come.

These two images are like night and day to me and I am so happy that I stuck with things and really pushed on. I wanna ask those of you who do comics ... do you find yourself aching to redo old pieces/pages? Do you feel strange when you look at your super old stuff, is it hard to love what you used to be so proud of?

THIS IS STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSE'S MOUTH: WE ARE BURIED TREASURE!!!

Alternatively, one of my players did joke about there being a "cowboy god" and then ... it became very real. This is Yhehaw and he aids those with a wandering spirit and might have some power over lifespan length? DW about it.

An immortal man starts looking after a silly selkie who insists on coming up with new "themes" in which to decorate the roadhouse he owns ... and shenanigans ensue.

I absolutely love these two so much and it's been so fun connecting them to the other MOTW-adjacent blorbos my friends and I have. You might see a lot more of them in the near future.

"Would you remember me, remember this moment --- even if the news I give you is bad? Are you sure you could live with yourself if it's good?"

Sven is a half-selkie with some powers involving changing fate. I made him for the sake of chasing serotonin and I will be drawing a lot of him. This is the first thing I have done that wasn't just a doodle.

Check out these stupid little acrylic pins I made so I can has a visual representation of when I think I am being funny or when I know my low social battery is going to cause every single interaction to go poorly. Also they are for sale.
