"Mouse the Witching Cat" ebook

Mouse is a Witching Cat (familiar; a witches companion) but would rather be her own witch instead. With her friends Fluffy, Cavity, Monty Cristo, and Crooner she embarks on a journey to build up enough magic and cast a spell that will make her outsides look more like her insides. But, is it possible there’s more to being a witch than just looking like one? ————– “Mouse the Witching Cat” is a story of discovery and learning to value what you are instead of what you aren’t. It’s a story born out of a struggle for self-worth, but also born out of a love for animals, monster mashes, spooky stories and all matter of Autumnal media.

When I published “Mouse” in 2019, it was without much thought or direction into really making a book and so is very amateur. I’ve since accepted that this book will always be in an experimental limbo of sorts and so the next stop is this polished, updated ebook version. This ebook has new art made specifically for it and future reprintings, from redraws to extra scenes. It has more fun messing around with text and it’s been thoroughly scrubbed of it’s original cursed typos from the Beta edition.

Because of its style, “Mouse” is a better book for adults to read to their children rather than a tool to teach kids proper grammar, but for those that know what they’re in for, it’s an interesting read. I live and breathe off your support and your purchasing of Mouse is one of the biggest gifts you can give me as an artist. I could never be more thankful!

"Animal Pals"

When you're born a lycanthropy-werechild you must be pretty used to talking to your animal friends. Not so much the case with your 'once fully human'-dad...but that's what familiar friends are here for!

((For those looking for some october-related way to communicate while Halloween Town's askbox is closed))

Oddities Askbox Open

Our ask box on Tumblr is officially open for business!

You can ask any of the main five oddities by starting your message with “Hey (character name)!” like they’re an early 2000s kids’ food mascot that needs to barge into your house to be summoned. 

For addressing the author, just talk casually. 

The ask box will take anonymous messages. It will not respond to usernames with profane or offensive usernames nor will it respond to messages that include:

slurs or cursing 

sexual language 

references drugs

hate speech 

self-promotion 

violence or threats to the characters or the author

art requests from the author 

asks about politics, be they old or current. The familiars are paranormal companion animals. They can’t vote, sorry. 

cursing (the witch-kind, not the bad-word kind) and chainmails

Very excited to officially open the box and answer questions anyone may be having about the characters or Oddities as a whole. Ask away!

"Witch's Skin"

Mouse should be proud of the witch she is. She's come such a long way.

I absolutely, mentally, severely n Physically adore your style (especially your style of sally) LIKE TEACH ME HOW PLZ?

((lol. Ironically imabout to post about that. Unfortunately I can't 'teach' anyone anything only give pointers, and the reality is my sister and I have been drawing Jack and Sally for years and are just really familiar with them. They were the first humanoid characters I ever drew...which should explain a lot about my abhorant anatomy understanding actually. Lotsandlots of studying Dean Taylor and the concept artists for TNBC's drawings for the film as opposed to looking at Tim Burton's art directly for inspo))

"Prospero the Baby Raven"

New character (sort of, more like a proper re-introduction) to the Oddities cast.

Though he only appears in the comics, Prospero the baby raven is the Tails/Scrappy Doo of the Oddities' cast. Much like real life baby corvids, he has no indoor voice.

He and Mouse tend to get along pretty well. Mostly-

I really liked your art. Could you draw more holiday leaders interacting with each other and going on adventures together.

((I'm actually hoping to do so in the next few years. I'm so happy you like my OCs!))
