Ok, how am I just now hearing that there's only one more OFMD ep left?! I just assumed that s2 had 10 eps...no wonder aspects of 6&7 felt rushed. You suck HBO.
If we get a cliffhanger, I'm gonna defenestrate myself. 🫠🫠🫠
I TOTALLY FORGOT TO POST THIS AHH
super late birthday pic for @sabrebash with her girls from her comic BITCHFIT
I just binged all of BitchFit and I am loving the colors and world building and character interactions! (Also the skull loading icon is, as the kids say, totally rad.) Any plans/ideas for the future that you would like to share?
Sorry, almost lost this one! That means so much. SO MUCH. I worked so extremely hard on BitchFit, really bled on that thing, and every time i hear someone read it it makes it more worth it. I'm SO glad you liked it!!! I have no animation training, so I spent the better part of a day finding pictures of wolf and human skulls online and photobashing them together for a guide to each frame on that little loading skull:
The whole comic, all of my comics, are full of things like that: Readable signs, background character easter eggs, individually drawn buildings, trees, etc. Tiny details. If anything, I really need to learn to work smarter, not harder, but when i hear somebody noticed or enjoyed them it means the world to me.
Frankly, it's due to my slow and anxious work process that has made me fearful to launch the second chapter, along with that constant nagging feeling that nobody cares. And I KNOW that's not true, but the whole metagame of likes and comments can really make you over-scrutinize yourself. Just having people say they read it is a huge motivator, i can't emphasize that enough. As for what's going on now, i've kind of been just doing other things for a while, but it's probably time to get back on target. I have had the whole thing more or less plotted and the second script completely done for a while now, i'm a few pages into thumbnails. They're so small, but you'd be surprised just how much pondering goes into just where everyone should be and how it should be framed. In terms of easter eggs, here are all the thumbnails from the previous chapter. You can see it started as pages before i decided to go for a panel-by-panel style. For the next chapter i’ll have to switch to a scrolling presentation for webtoons, i’m not even sure what that’ll do for the website but it’ll be a whole thing:
I guess i should get back to work, hah! Thanks for motivating me, and for enjoying my work. It’s Everything, it really is.
I absolutely love BitchFit!!! What were some of your sources of inspiration for it?
Took me a bit to think of what to say, BitchFit is easily the most important to me of my various projects, so it's an absolute joy to hear anyone ask about it. Basically, it started as an excuse to have a comic after i stopped doing one i had been doing since highschool. (some links are broken but it's still all there) After a while i had to accept that i had gotten better at writing and art since i started, and without good bones you can't really write around previous bad plot.
I was watching the opening episode of a magical girl show with my brother (don't remember which), and there was a shot during the big transformation sequence of their teeth getting sharper. I went 'YES!!!', but then it never came back or was mentioned again and it was super disappointing. After i drew some ad-hoc character designs for a werewolf magical girl team, i ended up writing a story purely around the image.
That story is, right now, entirely plotted out with the second chapter's script completely written. It is 9 chapters long, written like a season of a tv show. I'm sort of waiting to launch it on webtoons, but i want to do some other stuff first until i feel confident about my pace.
I've always been into predatory animal imagery, probably due to my childhood as a kid who had major anger issues. That’s probably the biggest influence here, and the reason this project feels so personal. I was always larger and more awkward, and felt less like a real person than the people around me. I felt like a big, ugly, violent thing among my peers, and there was a sort of twisted liberation in that.
There isn’t a lot of media where girls are allowed to be violent, and angry, and Ugly, without it somehow being sexy or otherwise about sexual liberation. I want something more primal and base than that.
I spent so many years being so, so angry, and being punished harder than my male classmates for lashing out because, as my teachers impressed upon me, the sort of aimless, violent anger that plagued me was considered somewhat expected with a teen boy, but weird and disturbing to see in a young girl.
I got better, but it was because i finally made friends, not because of any of the behavioral programs i was shunted into for a decade of my life.
I don’t think hurting people is good or right, and i don’t think that living in anger is a good thing, but there’s something so beautifully cleansing about just letting everything out, isn’t there? You can’t just pretend you don’t feel these things. I want young people, especially young girls, to know that i see their ugliness. I don’t know what i can offer to help other than a vicarious way to express it, but i See it, and that’s more than i can say was given to me.
How long is BitchFit gonna roughly be, if you know of course. Love the series, keep it up!
9 chapters, the latter 2 each being halves of a finale, mostly of similar length I think to chapter 1, but there could be some variance. It's sort of difficult to anticipate, especially since the first chapter wasn't really in a page format, and i'm switching to a scrolling format for Webtoons starting in chapter 2. Essentially each one is meant to have the amount of story you might have in about 30-40 minutes of television, if that is easier to picture? It's set up to allow for a second 'season', but i'm not even planning that yet, i've got enough on my plate.
Back injuries, full-time job, 3 hours of sleep, but MAMA DID IT THIS WEEK ON BITCHFIT!!!
