happy birthday to kchodraws <3
monstress (marjorie liu & sana takeda) x a series of unfortunate events (netflix)
(I’m not dead, just working on offline stuff! in the meantime, here is something random)
back in the revolutionary days, “veuve” (lit. “widow”) was one of a variety of colorful nicknames for the guillotine; by the 1800s it (ALLEGEDLY) was gay slang for, as far as I can tell, a bottom*. so make what you will of that information
it’s my sister’s birthday today so i drew her characters kamei and moe from her webcomic the winter campaign. it’s a story of equal parts FAMILY SECRETS and TEEN ROMANCE (or maybe.... 60/40.....) set in early 20th century Japan, she’s been drawing it for like seven years and I admire it a lot. check it out!! (ps there’s been some ~drama~ lately so it’s a good time to tune in... just saying...)
this drawing is heavily referenced/copied from this work by kasamatsu shiro, but I don’t think the architecture is very accurate to the time or place of the comic, so just don’t worry about that,
a comic I started for Valentine’s Day and finished at around the right time for the beginning of Floréal… so that’s all right then. happy spring, everybody
(I tried out something different for the formatting of this photoset, so please let me know if it’s difficult to read!)
a good day to revisit this comic
how beautiful friendship is
hi everyone! it’s me, star-crown
hope you’re all well. to be honest i didn’t post a lot this year because for about half of it i was really sick. it sucks but sometimes bad things happen! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i didn’t draw anything for a long time but luckily i’m doing a lot better now.
this year i’m going to start drawing again in a pretty casual low-pressure way, so i still might not post a lot for a while. i’m also graduating from college this year so i’ll have a lot of IRL stuff to work out! if you don’t like following blogs that aren’t very active it won’t hurt my feelings if you unfollow, but if you want to stick around for a bit that’s ok too, i’m not planning on abandoning this blog permanently or anything.
have a good and healthy new year! hang in there!! i will be doing so as well
(here are some year-end reviews from previous years: 2016 2015 2014)
I’m a little slow on drawing things to post here, because I’ve been working on thumbnailing/scripting for an original comic for once in my life!! so here are a few wips (not related to each other)
I’m not a stickler for all Les Mis movies being exactly like the book, because due to time restraints that’s basically impossible (I like the 2012 movie, and it leaves out plenty of stuff!), but when your movie is three hours (!!) and there’s clearly been a lot of effort put into including details from the book, up to including actual dialogue, this seems like a weird place to cut corners.
(also, you DO have time for a bunch of instances of women getting pushed around and assaulted, hmmmMMMmmmm, great)
anyway, if you’re thinking “but star-crown, what three hour long les mis movie am I gonna watch now”, maybe check out the 1934 Raymond Bernard one, which has its own idiosyncrasies but is good I think
it’s not being a lawyer if they don’t catch you doing it
aka “I see you craving those hot hot Le Chapelier Law jokes, I GOT EM HERE”
I was going through a lot of old sketchbooks when I was at home for a few weeks, and I came across this weird contextless comic page. For something I must have drawn at some point in high school, the art’s not that bad, but unlike most of the characters in my old sketchbooks, I have no memory of who these guys were, what they were doing, or why I drew this in the first place.
some more Mysteries of Paris (the second one is from this meme)
The Mysteries of Paris was published about twenty years before Les Miserables, and like Victor Hugo, Eugene Sue is also concerned with criminal justice. Less like Victor Hugo, some of Sue’s ideas for reform are totally bananas, and even within the context of his own novel don’t seem to work all that great.
kinda mixed signals (epilogue to this comic)
some historical footnotes about the last comic under the cut!!
a comic I started for Valentine’s Day and finished at around the right time for the beginning of Floréal... so that’s all right then. happy spring, everybody

hey got a comic to post tonight!!
not a lot of posts from me so far this year...!! shrieks
if it’s any consolation this comic is shaping up to be about 10-12 pages, probably in color? A NICE BEEFY POST (thank you for the advice on the last post, by the way! I still haven’t figured out exactly how I’m going to handle it but it’s good to see how other people deal with it)
I actually like doing this kind of long comic but the flip side of it where you don’t hear from me for a month isn’t great D: I think I’m going to hold back from posting more wip panels because I feel like those aren’t that interesting out of context but I look forward to showing it to you!
