Was working on book 2 and got to a heavy part, so I took a break to draw something cute... and a random lawrence + milly!

Book 2 has a lot of Drama I can't wait

Dahlia can make herself however tall she wants, so anytime she changes her appearance it's because she sewed on longer legs or different hair!

Rereading MM, I was surprised at how baby Larkspur looked... I wanted him to look like a teenager in MM2, so I tried hard to make him look older. It's funny because when I first pitched MM, the publisher asked me to make the characters look a little older... and for Larkspur to look a little less cute. This was the first design I made of him vs the final. He still looks cute oops.

ALSO I ended up finding a bunch of concept art for MM recently that I had forgotten about!!! I'll upload them closer to MM2's release.

Will you ever return to those ocean designs you did awhile back?

Fun fact, I actually pitched these as a younger kid's comic series a few years ago! It followed a sheltered jellyfish prince and his best sea slug friend/adventurer. Unfortunately it wasn't picked up, but I do still like the designs. Their names were Jellius and Marigold. Marigold also had a second design that looked a little more similar to a sea slug.

Apologies if this had been asked/answered before, but where's the best place to buy your books to actually support you?

I remember reading OW when it was a webcomic and somehow missed that it finally came out! It was one of my favorite webcomics and I really missed it when you had to take it down.

Aw thank you! 💕 Buying a new copy from wherever books are sold helps the book no matter which store it is! If you're able to support an indie bookstore, I recommend trying there first.

Also to those who have the book and also want to help it out, please be sure to leave a review online! Reviews on places like Goodreads/Amazon/Barnes&Noble help a LOT and only take a few seconds to write!

Some more concept art from around 2017! Featuring werewolves, Velia burning up instead of shattering, and Capella looking more human. I like her more as a little cat looking freak. Also a bonus Marietta wearing Wyatt's oufit.

Mary is always cute

MM Character Q&A

With the upcoming release of Misfit Mansion's sequel this August, I thought about potentially doing a few little Q&A comics for the MM-verse, similar to the Oddity Woods ones I did back in the day. I think it'd be fun to post some leading up to the release!

If people are interested, please feel free to comment here/send me an ask with questions directed at the MM characters! I'd like to do a variety, so send as many as you want to whichever character. 👍

Hi I’m obsessed and 100% drawing stuff based on these (forgive the bad phone screenshots, Nintendo sucks!!!)

I still have to make like everyone else but I keep getting distracted lol

[kaydavault]

I recently got the Oddity Woods book. And honestly? I LOVE it! I didn't even know it was originally a webcomic until doing research. The artstyle is amazing, the characters look adorable, I actually loved it so much that I decided to use it as inspiration for when drawing my own characters, and the writing is wonderful. I'd say I can't wait for the second one, but yes I can because even a creator such as myself knows that things like these take time, even when you're good at it, so take as much time as you need.

Thank you so much! I've been told the second book is currently scheduled for next summer, which means I'll have to finish it by September. Still only halfway done so I'm speedrunning doing my best!! 🫡

Can't say too much yet but here's a tiny panel.

[kaydavault]

Hello! I’m a big fan and I adore your art! I was wondering if we could get a little bit of some Star Knights art! (Preferably Astrid, suddenly made a Galaxy Weaver OC out of nowhere, so I would like to have a reference or two. It’s REALLY hard to find a digital page that has human Astrid for some reason. Or maybe just a color palette if I’m asking too much.)

Anyway! Have a good day/night! ;D

That's cool!!! Here's the first character design art I made when I was working on SK! I wanted her to have multiple arms (because spider) but thought it would look a little too crowded, so I gave her magic light arms instead. I think I also must have added the second eyes later since they're missing here.

Also since it's been like 5 years since I last drew her, here's some new art.

[kaydavault]

this is a bit of a random question but did larkspur ever have any hobbies before Halloway locked him in the basement/does he have any hobbies right now?

He liked going outdoors a lot. I think after he returned, he watched a lot of day time television and ended up interested in cooking.

[kaydavault]

Since Poppy Playtime chapter five is out, what does Dahlia think of it? Oh, and does she listen to “Wrong Side Out” by CG5?

She probably thinks Lily is A Lot but also thinks her outfit is cute so she gets a pass.

Haven’t heard that song but I think Dahlia probably listens to a lot of music while working so sure!

[kaydavault]

Hi! I was a huge fan of Oddity Woods way back when it was in its early days on Webtoon and I just wanted to say that I think it’s so cool that its been published as a graphic novel! I had no idea till I found it in a bookstore randomly some time last year! It was so exciting to see and I’m really happy for you :) I really love your work

Thank you, that’s really nice of you to say!! 💜 Glad to finally be able to finish it.

[kaydavault]

Kinda a stupid joke question but

how would Marietta and Wyatt react if they encountered Slender man?

[kaydavault]

Been busy with work so here's some more older stuff + some more of the talent swap AU!
