Creator Spotlight: @shencomix
Shen is a digital comic artist who mainly does short-form humor but also delves heavily into horror, action, and whatever he thinks is cool at the time.
Below is our interview with him!
How would you best describe your art style?
I try to draw cute and expressive. As a short-form comic artist, I don’t have a whole lot of space to work with, so I have to make use of what space I have by pushing poses and expressions and using eye-catching color compositions.
Do you prefer working with digital or traditional mediums? Why?
I work strictly digital. There’s something really cool about how easy it is to edit. I can change the entire color balance of a drawing in seconds, whereas with a physical medium, that would take hours—and even then, you might not be satisfied with it! The ability to separate things into layers also lets me move and resize everything however I want.
From idea to final piece, how long does it take for you to create something?
For a 4 panel comic, depending on complexity, it’s 1-4 hours. It’s really tough going under an hour with this stuff because you can’t really think at that point. You just have to go go go. For comics with more panels and more detail (like, say, a 12-panel horror comic), it can even take several full workdays. It can be stressful to bet all that time on just a single post!
Over the years as an artist, what were your biggest inspirations behind your creativity?
My inspiration to start my webcomic was Ronnie Filyaw’s Whomp!, which had a sort of raw humor that I had never seen in webcomics before. I binged it in just a couple of days and thought, “dang, I didn’t know webcomics could be this funny.” I also really love horror artists on Plastiboo and Trevor Henderson and of course, my comic friends like Sarah from Sarah’s Scribbles, Zach from Extrafabulous, and Justin from Mr. Lovenstein.
What is your favorite thing to draw at the moment?
Really into scary doors lately.
Which 3 famous artists (dead or alive) would you invite to your dinner party?
Alan Moore, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Alan Moore.
Alan Moore would get into a fight with Alan Moore, and I could catch Leonardo up on all that stuff that’s happened since 1519 in the background.
What are your file name conventions?
series name > YY > MM.DD - Comic Name > page.png
I’m straight-up methodical. They call me “Database Shen,” and by “they,” I mean nobody, but maybe somebody will call me that someday.
Who on Tumblr inspires you and why?
@plastiboo, who I've already mentioned, has a pretty active tumblr and always makes amazing stuff.
Thanks for stopping by, Shen! For more of his amazing comics and fun illustrations, be sure to check out @shencomix!

Round 2 - Group 4B
i spelled sha hualing wrong on the poll proper i'm so sorry the worst part is she is literally one of my favorite svsss characters my fucking god
Submission notes under cut. Some submissions had notes others did not:
Sha Hualing:
Went from one of the top three wives in the original book to underpaid secretary of the same dude. AND was forced into a front seat of his insane love life (him spending 5 years trying to resurrect his dead teacher whos also his gay crush). Also at some point she tried to prove that the girl who is considered extremely beautiful aint shit, tore off her veil, and promptly Screamed. That wasn't really explained further in the book, but fandom consensus diagnosed this as a gay panic moment.
the most bisexual disaster cringefail pathetic girl you have ever met. she literally screamed in the face of the girl she immediately caught feelings for. i love my failwife so bad
Propaganda: [1]
Lilith:
she looks like she's about to have a mental breakdown everytime she speaks. she's like a cat that was dunked in water and is pathetically trying to claw it's way out of the bathtub
she’s soggy
