I like to draw and write, making both fan and original creations. The OCs I mostly post here are from Amity Bloom, a slice of life + magical realism story with coming of age elements :].

I tag sensitive topics via "(term) cw". The "sexual trauma" tag is the only exception, as its for more general discussion, but could still be triggering.
Posts without alt text are tagged as both "undescribed" and "no alt text". These are usually longer image posts that aren't artwork.
I do not, and will never, tag nudity.
OCs are tagged by their first name and surname initial/s.
๐ซ, ๐ธ, ๐ฐ, and โฌ tags are text posts written by headmates. 99% of the time, they won't be found in art and reblog posts (but that doesn't mean they aren't behind them...)
Misc.
I have no DNI. I'll block you if you annoy me or cause me too much stress. Generally use common sense and ask if you're unsure on something.
Sometimes I forget to trigger tag things. Just politely remind me if something upsets you.
I have many interests and you could easily tell from my reblogs and art, but I mainly like rgu, deltarune, vocaloid/utau, fe3h, persona 3 + 5, ze999, and tons and tons more ehehe.
after 4 years of drawing webcomics, this is my wisdom:
start now. now. now now now. or else you'll never draw this damn thing
it's fine if you don't have the entire story figured out yet, it'll happen naturally
draw what you want to draw!! webcomics often run for years, so you better work with something you like
don't overcomplicate things. a simple, efficient work flow is your top priority in order to stay consistent
bullshit some things. trace background refs. reuse poses. draw your character's face from different angles and just copy paste it in to save time. be smart about your work baby
take breaks if needed. webcomic burnout is real
sometimes, a panel or a page looks bad. shit happens. move on
lettering is actually really important and super hard to pull off
it's your comic. do what you want forever!!!
I'm begging you again to work smart, not hard. reuse backgrounds. use brush sets for webcomic artists. trace 3D objects. use 3D models to pose your characters
you may need hours or days to draw one panel, but people will look at it for 5-8 seconds. keep that in mind
a simple background is better than no background at all (avoiding the white void increases the quality of your work by a ton!)
sometimes the anatomy needs to be a little off to make an interesting shot/panel. that's fine, don't worry about it too much
at least 2000px canvas and 300 dpi for good quality results
it's okay to stop by the way. it's okay to move on from a project if you no longer find joy in it
Jesus Christ. I have to call my friends Jax, Pomni, Eel, Ragatha, Kingler, Crane, Zooble, Spiral, Whisper, Whimper, Dr. Curmudgeon, Cryptotheism, Hollow Mile, Randy, Dan Randy, Zooble, Zort, Grindr, Lucky, Fucker 2, Edwain, Sorceror, BattleMeal, Mr Beast, and all of the Amazing Digital Crew to warn them!!!
not now sweetie, mommy is watching how the massive girlbossification of female characters has led to the belief that weak and vulnerable female characters are badly written characters because apparently every woman needs to be outspoken and witty and snarky and brave in order to be considered โcomplexโ and have any value in a piece of media!!
I blame him (at least partially) for the rise in anti-indian racism in the late 2010s to today and people look at me like I'm the friend who's too woke when I say that. But it's true
and youโd be right to blame him. he normalized the rise in anti-indian and anti-desi racism through โjokes.โ it took me forever to take pride in my indian heritage bc of the culture he helped set up.
It's so fucking infuriating that Trump can make a post comparing transgender people to domestic terrorists and say "we will find you and we will kill you" (verbatim) and aaaaall the news articles in the entire world are busy debating whether he REALLY meant to say that or if its being taken out of CONTEXT or if it can LEGALLY be CONSTRUED as a threat. And meanwhile our actual sisters are being murdered in real time for the crime of *checks notes* doing laundry in public. When will these chucklefucks wake up and realize you're wasting time debating his intentions and all the while the only thing he gives a shit about is whether his most loyal worshippers realize he's just greenlit our public genocide?
