Hey, I was kind of confused, I saw someone’s fanart of WAC that was reblogged here (lain & that other cat lol..I forgot her name)

and I didn’t know lain was trans, is it later in the comic that it actually mentions lain being trans?

There's never been the words "Lain is trans" because these cats don't have the term transgender, but it's been talked about/heavily implied in many scenes. and how Lain is treated because of his birth sex will continue to come up.

I was wondering if you could perhaps do a tutorial of your old art, I love your art and channel so much!

Thank you! Is there anything in particular you'd like to see? I'm not really confident enough to make a "how-to" guide for drawing specific subjects per se but I'd be open to doing a walk through of parts of my general drawing process if there's something you (or anyone else) are curious about :-)

I’m thinking about making a comic of my unfinished book, I’ve made one page but I just don’t like it..my lines are thin and my artwork is inconsistent and always changing , I love your pages and was wondering if you could give any tips?

also I rlly love your backgrounds

my advice is genuinely just keep making it. Just keep trucking.

I did not like my pages when I started making comics and the style was also REALLY inconsistent because I was still fairly new to digital art and kept finding out new things I could use (found out about layer modes like halfway through the comic and went hod on them) and experimenting. But I just kept trucking. At least for me what was most important about my first comic was just seeing it done. It was more about proving to myself that I could finish something over like...perhaps the necessary quality (and oh boy. does the quality not show). But for a first comic, I don't think it really matters. No one's going to make the perfect comic (which doesn't exist) on their first go around.

if you want some advice on panel layouts/page flow/comic language/etc, I recommend Scott McCloud's books "Understanding Comics" and "Making Comics". If you saw that trend going around a while ago that was like "would you take me as serious if I drew myself like this?", it's from these books.

There is also the tried and true method of looking at other people's work and studying it. Like, for example, I find my panel layouts/page comps to be pretty lacking sometimes, so I'll look at layouts of people's work I admire and see what they do to spice it up and try to incorporate some of those elements into my own work.
