The Mercury Stash

Hi! I'm Xeesire, the creator of Where Men Cry (main child) and Crabs (neglected child). This tumblr is where all my illustrations and extras go.

I think this panel from episode 18 turned up kind of cool #wheremencry

Hello Tumblr void!

If you could be so kind as to check my webcomic out on Tapas.io or LINE Webtoon, it’d be awesome :D Or you could just give a little signal boost on this, every little helps <3

My biggest boy and my smallest girl. Deon is 6'8ft (202cm), Evelyn is 5ft (152cm) And yes, he does actually call her hamster in the comic at one point.

It’s been so long… I’m currently working on a comic for this year’s final project so I’m a little disconnected from social media (and the world). After I finish it and after my wedding, I’ll get back to Oracle

Rainy days

[xeesire]

Currently testing styles for the comic reboot, trying to find out whether I can afford them time-wise or not. (This one I can)

Jump hugs are the best hugs. Also, don’t be like Udo. Don’t throw your cigarette butts to the ground, it’s nasty.

Udo in all of his Scottish glory (man, his proportions are way off...)

[xeesire]

Little rough animation I did in a couple of hours to cheer myself up

Gotta love the “man, this is a weird thing to research” stage of story planning.

[velnna]

Found myself Googling body mods and going deeper into it than I should a couple of days ago, and am still pondering whether I should leave my search history be

[xeesire]

The best thing about this are the weird ads you get a few days afterwards

[xeesire]

Little Udo animation I did this afternoon. Man, I hadn’t animated in years! I animated this from my ipad pro but the app didn’t have to option to do keyframes, so it ended up a little wonky and irregular

Don’t be the silent reader.

Yesterday, I wrote a multiple paragraphs long comment to an author and made them incredily happy. As an author myself, I know how happy every single comment makes me, and what a motivation they are; you’re so discouraged to continue writing when hours and hours of work earn you one comment or none.  Authors love feedback.  Fanfiction authors need feedback.  No excuse about doing it for money, or anything of the like, fanfic authors supply you with reading content for free in their free time and the least they deserve from you is at least that one stupid click to give him kudos and that one minute you take to write a comment. If they didn’t crave your feedback, they could just as well be writing just for their own eyes, not publishing anything.  Pick one detail that you liked, or a few, say why you liked it, or at least thank the author for taking the time. Offer constructive criticism if you please, even that is feedback. Do not be silent.  Do not just come, read and go.  Write that one comment, please. 

-From a fellow author that tries their best to always leave satisying comments on pieces of work their like.

And even if you can’t leave a comment as OP said LEAVE A KUDOS OR LIKE.

If you enjoyed their writing a kudos/like boost their work. Algorithms assess how many kudos/likes something receives and works out what should be suggested to other people.

Even the best stories only have around 10% of readers leaving likes/kudos.

There is no way, as a writer, to know whether that 90% forgot to leave a like or hated your work and so It’s incredibly demotivating when no one interacts with your work.

If you can’t leave a comment try your best to remember to click that one button, it could mean the difference between someone giving up on writing or not.
