April's zine bravely ask the question: "What if a robot liked it when their creator performed upkeep on them (in a sexual way) and they were both girls???" This 24 pg comic is the answer.
Maintenance is a comic about a lesbian robot with an infatuation with her creator—especially when she performs routine upkeep tasks—and the intricate ritual of cord management. very self indulgent, wanted an excuse to draw butches and nonsensical tech parts. enjoy! :)

i’m of the personal belief that if we were all animal people, we’d still have furries. Obviously the fandom would be a little different but I still think there’d be a community based around identity exploration through unrealistic personas + mascot costumes + fetishism + cartoons. Like if everyone was all fairly realistic animal species, weirdos would still be making crazy animals up to identify with
If regular animals still lived alongside us, perhaps we’d focus more on THOSE animals’ unique traits. Maybe more four legged characters, more focus on behaving like in an animalistic way? Not something untouched by furries but more that there might be MORE emphasis on those bits since that would still be inaccessible
So my thought here is that Donnie tried several glasses before finding ones that actually helped his vision. And the moment he got a good look at Mikeys teeth, he figured he could fix those, too.
PLEASE BOOST: Hopefully this’ll be the last time I have to make a post like this. As I hear more murmurings of Twitter's demise, I’m having to reconsider illustration as a long term/full time thing. Like a lot of freelancers, Twitter is where I get the majority of my work, and I’ve been privileged enough to be able to do this full time for the better part of a year.
That being said, it’s always been a little wobbly, almost every month things have gotten really tight just before rent is due. This is untenable even at my current level of engagement, which I’ve noticed has dropped off pretty sharply as of late, so I’ve decided to go back to doing this part time.
As for where I am right now, I’m working nonstop getting the rest of my queue cleared out, as well as opening up other sources of revenue like the ptr3on and my shop. I’m also in a tricky position after being evicted, where I’m still looking for a new place to live which makes it hard to apply for jobs when I don’t know exactly where I’ll be yet.
So, I’m opening up TWO commission slots, with the caveat that there will not be a fast turnaround with respect to my current queue and the annoying situation I’m in right now. Also, please consider looking at my links in my linktree (SEE BELOW), where you can find a few ways to support me, either by buying merch, subscribing to my ptr3on, or just donating if you feel able to!
Hopefully this is for the best, I’ll be more financially stable and be able to clear out my queue while also dedicating more time to personal projects that I’m excited to show you all. Thank you for being so supportive and giving me the opportunity to do my dream job all year!
