Week 5/final

Drawing a comic page for everyday of October!

The comic is about a rhino themed superhero who gets her powers from an oxpecker themed alien.

Week 1 link: here

Week 2 link: here

Week 3 link: here

Week 4 link: here

Day 29 - Made the aliens humans~ plus a cameo from a character that'll never be seen again :)

Read more for days 30 & 31 + tips for making your own comic

Day 30 - Tiny caterpillar is adorable. The eye parasite is based off Leucochloridium paradoxum, spooky. Plus, a Catie from The Backwards House easter egg ^^ Took so long that the Catie plush is real haha.

Read down the row of the first comic.

Day 31 - Took so long for three pages but here we are. At the end. I like the Melted Rat design I made here haha. I basically squished three pages into one! (The dark magenta is my real handwriting 💀)

Tips:

With the comic done it's only fair to give the few people that will read it some motivation/advice.

Don't do a month-long challenge, or if you do allow yourself to end early or do a page for every other day.

Do a month-long challenge, I did it and here I am with a finished comic haha.

Just do it! I took my random symbiosis themed character and with no plot made a whole comic! Take a vague concept and have fun with it.

Take shortcuts, in most of this comic I didn't shade a whole bunch, and I made each page pretty short, plus no script. Then with these last three pages I let myself just use the text tool and avoid backgrounds.

Be cringe, I was nervous making a comic with sarcastic aliens and my stupid demon oc but I had fun and no one cares about that stuff besides my anxiety.

A finished comic is better than no comic. It's not perfect but it is done so it is perfect <3

Happy 100 posts!

I'm excited for whatever my next comic will be, heck I may even plot it. The four main characters are also on my artfight :3 👋🥺Goodbye

Artfight!

I've decided to do art fight this year! 🥳

I was worried my anxiety wouldn't allow me to add many ocs but now it thinks I have too much (13/100) lol I'm going to try my hardest to attack a ton of TBH ocs 🫡 But I'll def go after my followers/hopefully some randos.

Watched The Hidden (1987)

Never heard of it till a week ago when I was on tv tropes. Decided to watch it and enjoyed it :) Very neat buddy cop-sci fi-horrorish thing. If you're cool with violence and a stripper club scene (that so many action moves have for some reason) I'd say check it out.

[meltedrat]

Brain choosing what to watch

(I have the time and attention span to watch an hour-long show btw)

[meltedrat]

I killed a Minecraft armadillo out of instinct (hit it thinking I’d get a shell, remembered I wouldn’t but I already harmed it so I wanted to finish the job.)

I would feel a lot less guilty if it just dropped the shell or some meat :p

It’s not like I’m going to kill armadillos irl lol

let me be murderous in cube game >:[

[meltedrat]

Happy Groundhog Day!

I’m going to watch Groundhog Day!

The Backwards American Family

[meltedrat]

I have made 2 TBH fics :D

----- What's the Matter, Missy? (288 words) Missy Mouse (Martha) is trapped in a cartoon world while trying to ignore talking objects only she can see. The Backwards Car (365 words) Funky and Mighty are driving a car away from the house. ----- Currently working on a third fic but that one is longer than the previous two so it may take some time.

[meltedrat]

Week 2 will be delayed a day.

[meltedrat]

Week 3 will also be delayed (only a day!) because seeing that I was behind a few pages I logically decided to read the godzilla nes creepypasta instead of working.

[meltedrat]

Hate to do this but week 4 will be delayed!

The sketches are all done and I’m mostly finished with the hard parts of most of the pages but this week was quite busy for me 😅

Worst case scenario I give you an incomplete week/take longer and final week 5 will have any left overs pages!

[meltedrat]

Things are going slowly (loss of deadline, burnout, health issues, etc)

BUT things are being worked on!

Edit: that empty middle space has been filled! One more page to go before I can post 😁

edit2: I miscounted so I have to make one more page before I can post 😭🥺

EDIT3: I JUST NEED TO WRITE THE ALTS!!! :D

[meltedrat]

Week 5 progress

Bonus pages 1/3 is done
