Happy Together

#mdzs #my mdzs art #wei wuxian #lan wangji #wangxian #part of that comic that I had a good time making #I know the content of the comic isn’t everyone’s cup of tea so here’s this small isolated panel since I enjoyed how it came out haha

As a fellow broke bitch, if i told someone i wasn't rich and a rich person looked me in the eyes and screamed 'well why not' id simply pass away

finally finished flash rebirth vol 4 after a year+ of stalling and…

myeah that shit was scary. like tearing up, heart drop, pit in my stomach-scary

yes even his pathetic ass line. ESPECIALLY his pathetic ass line

#killing me w the parasocial + stalker combo here #i’ve had nightmares like this #dc #the flash #eobard thawne #barry allen #flash rebirth #panels #‘i was never alone.’ punctuating the running theme of isolation (both external + self-inflicted) made me feel so sick #ive never read any other vol in this run and i rly should #like i started w this one. this was my first dc comic ever lmao what an introduction #and to only finish it a year later #‘why did it take you a year to finish it’ bc i was reading the halbarry chapter over and over every time i picked it back up okay. #i gotta stop reading at random like this im like a grazer but for books

[cockyroaches]

going back to robin 2021 bc i dont think i ever finished it? but the first time i managed to make some edits of Hawke before my tablet croaked later this year. they got seared into my memory so much so that i cant properly picture him with the blonde hair anymore ❤

#i dont usually do comics btw so i know jack shit about connor as a character. this was solely bc his hair was fucking ugly #im here for respawn only. that ones mine you piece of shit fathers #connor hawke #green arrow #robin volume 3 #robin 2021 #dc comics #dc #mine #i was planning on making icons with some of these to the point where i have other panels isolated for other characters #i just got distracted + without a tablet its pretty much impossible for me lol #one day

As the daughter of a pair of supervillains, Artemis Crock had a lot to live up to. Ever since her first appearance in the pages of Infinity, Inc., she's been a persistent thorn in the side of the Justice Society and their children, and is only more dangerous when she's with her life partner-in-crime. Here are some comics to get you started:

Infinity, Inc. vol. 1 (1984): #34-36, #51-53

JSA (1999): #16-17

Hawkman vol. 4 (2002): #3-4

JSA: Classified (2005): #5-7

JSA All-Stars (2010): #2-11 [backup story only]

Guidebook appearances:

Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe, Update '87: #1 [note: some ancestry information here is now erroneous]

#artemis crock #reading list #comic rec #horrid to type comic rec on a post with all-stars on it but it's about the backup issues and nothing more #although i should mention artemis Is in the main story briefly. just. don't read it. g-d bless #there's a followup to the all stars backups in the 2011 JSA 80-page giant but artemis isn't in it so it's more optional #it's funny because you look on comic vine and you see ~100 issues and you're like oh that's pretty substantial actually #and then you get past the yjverse stuff and mistaken inclusions of her mom and it's like. twenty issues total #tried to isolate the meat here; if you want more you can go on comic vine just don't expect them to be more than panel long cameos #enough tag rambling i'll post this now

gotta say, i'm def way more willing to—not overlook but tolerate—some (keyword: some) blatant cheesecake or Sex Appeal™ in comics when the artist has a certain level of technical skill and/or strong compositions (ie Bachalo or Ramos) vs like... artists who sacrifice page composition and readability solely to draw cheesecake and thus actively sabotage their own sequential work (Sandoval...) especially the ones without the technical skill (... like the porn tracers who can't keep character appearance even sort of consistent...)

#do not argue w me about ramos lacking technical skill (in the past) i put an 'or' in there for a reason #also disagree but it's subjective #similar applies to sameface-y art... much more leeway for ie Aja (tho i think this is also a matter of graphical pop art styling) #compared to one of a dozen nearly identical semi-realistic over-rendered black lipstick artists #i think it's also fair to say that i'm way more forgiving of unusual or wonky art than some people #but i think there's also a huge problem in fandom and pro circles alike that treats any form of stylization as 'bad art' #which annoys the hell out of me esp when it's shit isolated and taken out of context from composition and color #(semi)realism isn't actually Superior To All Other Art and some people could really stand to learn that #everyone has preferences but there's a difference between having preferences and being like #''i've decided this art is garbage because of a tiny portion of a single panel that isn't even drawn incorrectly'' #which i've seen? more times than you would think? ppl will be like 'this hand sucks' or 'what a terribly drawn baby!' #and then it's like. literally nothing. there's nothing wrong. it's a hand or it's a baby and it looks completely normal? #like? huh?? are you seeing something i'm not? wow anyway i got off topic down here #sexy ladies are way overdone and way objectified in comics but it's much less annoying when the art and writing is actually decent lol #but when i see fucked up art with boring compositions dead expressions AND excessive objectification? I'm out #nadia rambles #nadia reads comics #apropos of nothing I was just thinking about it

#oh right since members of Captain Marvel’s club are said to be in on the secret #so to would members of Mary Marvel’s club #I don’t think Junior had a club #which would make him a bit more isolated #but would also make sense because he seems more private #fawcett comics #mary batson #my posts #comic panels

[eponymousfics]

when you make a three page comic about writing a fic instead of actually writing the fic hashtag writer problems

this is the evolution of writers talking to the characters in the author notes lol

translations under the cut:

page 1:

epon: Hey, Ichimatsu...

ichi: Ah?

e: What do you want...next?

i: ...eh?

e: I mean, you just graduated [context: the latest update of the silence purrs was chapter 21], but that's not the end, right? There's other stuff you want?

i: 'stuff i want'...?

i: nnnn...

i: cats...

e: There are already four.

i: Oh, that's right. ...then...

i: ...I can't think of anything else...

e: Seriously...it's fine if you have cats and s*x, huh...

i: Yeah. (❁´◡`❁)

e: (❁´◡`❁) That's really all you need to be happy, huh...how un-greedy and sweet 💜

e: Unfortunately, we can't just let it end like this.

i: Eh?

e: Listen up, we've only got the "ki" and "sho" part of the story! [context: first two story beats in a 4 beat classification system] How are you going to get us to "ten" and "ketsu"?!

i: Eh?! Why would you ask me—aren't you the writer?? It's your job to think of that stuff isn't it?

e: That's true, but I need you to give me a certain amount of direction! Ok? It's ok if it's simple! Like, is there a kind of date you've always wanted to try, or?

i: nn~....

e: Do you really need to think so hard?! Anything goes! Even if it's pervy!

page 2:

i: Then...maybe...going to a cat cafe together...or something...

e: I've already planned something like that.

i: You said it was fine if it was simple?! (If you've already got plans don't ask!)

i: Fine, then why don't you focus on something about the reader character instead of me? Isn't their job going to come up later?

e: The reader's job, huh...um...

i: What do you mean, um?

e: I mean that sounds like I might run into a lot of things I need to research, and that sounds annoying~

i: Isn't that just you making work for yourself?

i: Sheesh. What did you even come to ask me in the first place?

e: Well, if we look at it broadly, where do you want to end up, ultimately? Living together? Confessing your love? Or should we leave all that up in the air and just end it on the "yeah they probably wound up doing those things" vibe? You're not ready for marriage, right? You wanna get a job?

i: Eh? What's up with those options? It's kind of a lot of pressure...

e: Well I mean, it's a romcom after all...>_>

i: B-but weren't all those options part of the "rom"? What about the "com"?

e: Oh, that...

e: I've mostly asked those guys to take care of that part.

e: So all you have to do is be lovey-dovey ;)

i: EH—?!

i: No no no no—! That's embarrassing!! Let's just stop—!

e: What, no we can't! We can't just end the story right here! You're super popular, Ichimatsu!

i: W-why...is everyone stupid?

e: That's not it.

e: It's because you're cute. :)

i: . . . ?

i: n...there's no way that's true...anyone who thinks that must have something wrong with them....they're definitely stupid...

e: You're as mean to your fans as ever, I see.

i: But I mean...why would they want trash like me...

e: Because you're cute.

i: But WHY would they think that?!

e: Hmmm...

e: I think it's about your heart.

page 3:

e: I mean, you're definitely a dark, violent, cynical spoiled baby of a NEET, but—

e: —on the other hand, sometimes you're really kind, or considerate, and your smile is really cute, and you have a surprising amount of common sense, so you really do have a bunch of good points. Plus, the darkness is pretty relatable. (The modern world is pretty scary, you know....)

e: So, let's work together to think of a story that everyone will like. Leave the romantic stuff to me. Can you think of anything to develop the plot from here?

i: ...

i: But...don't you think there isn't enough of a break?

e: A "break"?

i: I mean, it's me. If we're going to do anything more than we've already done, I'm...gonna need some time to recover. I can't change that fast, you know.

e: Hmm...is that so...(should we try changing focus then?)

e: Wait, that just brings us right back to the reader's job again!

i: Then go with that, please.

e: *sigh* Now I'm tired somehow...

i: ...

i: ...do you wanna...give it up? I mean, it's just a story about me—

e: NO.

e: I vow...

e: to make you happy!!

i: ?!

i: W-w-w-what's with that phrasing, what is this, a proposal?! It's not, so don't say embarrassing things like that—!!

e: (Sorry, sorry (❁´◡`❁))

#lol this is so cringe but i thought that drawing on the first page of ichi being happy was cute #probably could've just shared that in isolation but fuck it who needs dignity #this is what i do when i have writer's block #eponbehindthescenes #the silence purrs #epon doodles #i apologize for atrocious paneling i am not a comic artist #these are glorified thumbnails lol

[garlic-sauc3]

I think I'm in a comic hell of my own making tbh

#only reads physical comics. stays away from new comics. refuses to watch show/movie versions half the time #like it isolates me from the fandom a bit #because i cant binge a bunch of comics without spending a ton of money #and a lot of people like/read new comics and watch the shows/movies #while i stay away from that and just read the 80s comic run #but i can tell you there is nothing better than perusing your comic store's backissues #and purchasing several comics with a $20 bill #going home and reading them and then just get hit with genius writing and art and paneling and everything #it is a beautiful thing #and probably why ive been into comics for so long. because the comics are endless and just so fun #unfortunately i cannot find many people who read the same are of comics as me

In Princess Aster's world, bunnybirds live in contented isolation, keeping themselves detached from the world in order to practice magic. Nothing is ever wrong, and no one is ever angry...even as Aster's people seem to be slowly disappearing. When her father is next to vanish, Aster resolves to find and rescue the missing bunnybirds—even if it means journeying over the rim of the world itself!

My middle grade graphic novel is officially available for preorder! Bunnybirds is a story about trauma, friendship, and my experience with autistic masking. It was drawn entirely with Prismacolor colored pencils and Pandafly markers, with Photoshop applied for color enhancement and text.

Check it out maybe! :D

That last panel with Carlin (the brown bunnybird) facing the corner was directly inspired by this wonderful TMA comic by @nubs-mbee!

#colored pencil #2024 debut #graphic novel #if you're wondering whether the bunnies are gay #of course they're gay who do you think I am #they get a lil face-lick kiss as the end of the book #and Carlin is explicitly referred to as Aster's girlfriend in book two #there's poly on the horizon as well if my publisher allows it! Keep your fingers crossed for me y'all

[Image description: A series of images depicting a song-based comic about Stanley and Stanford Pines from Gravity Falls.

Image 1: The top panel shows Stan, a grey-haired older man in a suit, breaking out of handcuffs in an interrogation room. Lyrics to the left read "They tried the handcuffs, but they won't lock."

The bottom panel shows Ford, a similar man with less grey in his hair, wearing a sweater and jacket. He has a shock collar on that emits blue electricity. Lyrics to the right read "electrical courses, but they won't shock."

Image 2: The top panel shows Ford holding a gun, looking behind him and running. There is a "Wanted" poster of him, on the wall beside him. Lyrics to the left read "You pulled the fire alarm."

The bottom panel shows Stan holding a suitcase of money, looking behind him and running. Behind him is a police car with its lights on, and a cop laying on the sidewalk. Lyrics to the right read "You tried punching a cop."

At the bottom of the image, six busts of Stan and Ford show them aging over thirty years. Lyrics above them read "You're just too tired to stop."

Image 3: An all-black background. White text shows the lyrics "You old pine box." Below is a white outline of a coffin.

Image 4: The left panel shows Stan in a basement, looking down at a journal with his head in his hands. The top of his head is breaking open, and flower pot shards drift away. A plant with a few leaves grows out of his head. Lyrics atop the panel read "You old pine box, with your head full of rocks, sharp like a cracked flower pot."

The right panel shows Ford at a cooking fire, drawing plans for a weapon called a "quantum destabilizer" as he glances suspiciously behind him. Eyeballs with bat wings fly out of an open portion of his head. Lyrics atop the panel read "You old paper head, on your skull full of bats, there's no percentage in that."

Image 5: The top panel shows a younger Ford in the foreground clutching a journal. Behind him, Fiddleford, a man wearing circle glasses and a cultist robe, is walking away from Ford. Further back is Caryn Pines, a dark-haired woman reaching out to Ford. In the very back is Filbrick Pines, a man with sunglasses and a mustache. Lyrics to the right read "They called relations, but they declined. They called the fanclub, but they'd resigned."

The bottom panel shows a younger Stan in the foreground with a grim look on his face. He is walking away from a crashed car on fire in the background. Lyrics to the left read "Left your car in a field and some questions behind."

Image 6: A night view of the second stories of some buildings. In the middle building, Caryn is leaning outside the right-hand window. She has grey in her hair, and is smoking a cigarette and looking up at the stars. Text in the sky reads "Your mom thinks you're out of your mind."

End ID.]

Song: They Might Be Giants - Old Pine Box. Again, I recommend reading with the song playing!

Another year, another Gravity Falls lyric comic, because I am always in my feelings about it!! I could froth at the mouth for ages about Stan and Ford being more similar than they might think - self-isolating, determined, desperate - but instead I drew this.

This is another one I had cooking in the back of my head for, probably, years, because my brain makes so many connections between TMBG songs and GF. I hope you like it!!

Saw the ask about magical boys and your wish for magical trans kids: may I introduce you to Zoe from Sleepless Domain webcomic? She is one of the main secondary characters and she's super sweet and tries her best! (If you haven't read Sleepless Domain, try it out! It has a ton of fun concepts, pain and suffering, world cold girlfriends soft, parents know what is going on but are powerless to step in and have to let their kids fight, three mysterious gals, wholesome team(s) and survivor's guilt~

I love Sleepless Domain! I've actually backed both of its kickstarters. It's easily one of my favorite post-Madoka magical girl stories out there and I'd also highly recommend it to anyone who's looking for a good story in general.

Also imo CubeWatermelon is REALLY good at compositions. Seriously, if you like comics and can appreciate a good set of panels, check out her work (note that the first two chapters had their art made by a different artist, but Cube has done the art for the rest of the comic). I reread the comic once every few months just to study her pages. Like, take note how often she doesn't chicken out and will just make sure that excellent establishing shots and good backgrounds are included-- you never feel lost reading her work and always know where everyone is. The flow and movement are really good too. Fight scenes can be really hard to portray but you can easily tell what folks are doing.

I know that sounds like the bare minimum but you'd be surprised by how many comics out there really struggle with making sure that the reader, like. actually knows what's going on. Finding an artist that prioritizes clarity is a nice treat. I'm also always impressed at how much character and personality she can pack into a page. Off the top of my head, stuff like Tessa's room being full of her own merchandise:

Anyways yeah, Sleepless Domain is amazing and anyone who likes magical girl stuff should read it.

Edit: All that and I forgot to link the comic. Derp.
