For some reason just spent a good chunk of time trying to draw some of my human characters as Poly Morphous/Moomin style critters. Kind of fun?? Hey, also, uhh, is Poly Morphous basically my fursona? Or is she more of a sentient-slime-mold-pixie-troll-representing-my-mental-illnesses-and-fear-of-abandonment-and-vulnerability-sona. The world may never know.

(uncensored picture and process talk for my "Scholarly Sorts" patrons, who get to request topics and chat about production techniques like how I digitized my traditional hand-written lettering for this particular comic)

On A Date With Poly Morphous and Pan Pearlie

Pretending it’s Springtime (and that I understand writing about “dating” at all) with these silly drawings I did back in 2014-15 or so! After PM #2 it looks like Poly mustered up the courage to go on a springtime date with fellow forest dweller Pan Pearlie, and I think they had a good time, don’t you? ♡◝(꒡ ౪ ꒡)◜♡

It’s strange looking back, knowing that I made these at the tail end of a time where I was pushing myself way too hard with cons and comics jobs and heading into serious physical/mental burnout. Which becomes very obvious in the direction I ended up taking the series, haha. So these little vignettes are an echo of where I might have gone with Poly Morphous, if I hadn’t ended up digging into her sorta interior landscapes rather than actual storylines. I was realizing that this character was letting me write directly about my emotions in a way I’d never been able to do before, and accept mental illness as a part of me! But I'd still like to do more with Pan Pearlie and Enby Lamby one day :P You can read all of Poly Morphous’ adventures for free on my Tumblr tag and on my Gumroad.

I’m almost out of copies of this cutie now, but if you make a purchase at my Counterintuitive Comics Store I’ll throw in an Enby friend for ya.  ◟(˘▿ ˘)ﾉ tralalaa ♬♪♫!!
