Really loving the faces he's making so here, take the snippet 👀 😭

[shellsstardew]

Absolutely obsessed with the song in the latest chapter (Body), love love love finding new music like this!! Kinda want to create a Shane coded playlist right now

Ohhh I'm so glad I made you discover it! Ahh the magic of listening it for the first time, you are so lucky :)

This is the most Shane song ever, I've been planning to use it for this specific moment for SO long!

The entire O My Heart album is so good too, I really recommend it 🎶

MY BABIES NOOOOOOO 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

😭😭😭💛💛 listen, I get it 😂

You guys need to bear with me and let me hold your hand though this 🤝 it's going to be ok 💛

Think about ittt! If I'm going this hard on the angst without holding back JUST IMAGINE when we're back at the fluff and there is no holding back either! eh? eh?? haha

JUST IMAGINE how intense the cute and the happy is going to feel once it's deserved and makes sense in the story!

AND👏 WE 👏 WILL 👏 GET 👏 THERE 👏

Yes... Spam my inbox with screams of despair 😈

[shellsstardew]

For so long the shells update and the weekly store trip lined up so I could log on and read shells after we got back but we've been going early recently so I have to WAIT

Ouughh the struggles of routine change! Felt that 😂 I love knowing that I'm in you guys schedule, it's so heartwarming 🥺

Hope my brick was worth the wait (:

[shellsstardew]

🥺

(careful he bites tho)

*me working on my poly Sharviott comfort fic* /j /silly

Well GOOD, I LOVE bricks!

Couldn't you tell?!

[shellsstardew]

i just reread chapters 65 and 66. would they be a part of your alternate ending fic do you think? i just love those two chapters sm

Yes for the alternate ending Shelliott fight 👀 hehe

Matter of fact this chapter was already mostly written months ago because of how obsessed I was with the concept lmao (just need the story to get there)

[shellsstardew]

I made a shells book on my tomodachi island

Ignore the poor quality

🥺

This is so precious :)) Now I'm imagining your Miis putting it out of their pocket and looking at it lovingly and it makes me happy teehee

[shellsstardew]

Goddd im obsessed with your use of micro expressions!!!!!! I dont think ive seen another comic use them like you? You've always been great at writing very real feeling dialogue, and combined, it makes for such a satisfying read. I love studying each panel and being able to tell where their thoughts are going just by a little change like that. Its a huge inspiration to me 💜💜💜

Thank you so much! I'm so happy to know that the little details go through :)

Here's a little behind the scenes if you want:

All my characters' line arts look like the first picture, I put all the parts of the face on different layers so they are easier to change up! I also often use the Liquify tool (shown on the third picture) to push around the lines. It helps me a lot when I want to turn a frown into a light smile, open the eyes a little wider or furrow the brows for example :)

I love doing it this way, it makes them feel so alive and real! Most of the time I tweak around until the perfect expression jumps at me haha

[shellsstardew]

As always awesome writing, as much as their dialogue feels very in character, it also feels very real and mature. Like actual conversations with some real advicing going on there

p.s. CLINT NOOOOOO YOU FUCKER of course anyone could wish to inhabit Elliotts locks, but another idiot (affectionately) imagining even their graves side by side 😠 wasnt expecting this one, cherry on top of the cake

Thank you all so much 🥺

Lmaoo their graves side by side 😂 you guys aren't gonna let Shane live that down huh 🤣
