#(📘 . ) sketchbook post

[alurite16]

Anyways unrelated to my last post, I plan to delete every post ever! And then come back 2 a new page (clean + redo) because I’m honestly mentally done with this era and can’t take it anymore and I need something new!

Will make an art tag + directory + rules soon! ~ ★

[lowstakesvampires]

Welcome to the tumblr home of my vampire comics!

I make these for fun, so I don't really put too much pressure on myself to keep up with deadlines and such.

It's chill. It's chaotic. It's not written in the correct order. It's... well...

Low Stakes is my rather light-hearted comic about my queer vampires - I don't really try to restrict myself to any genre, so anything is possible really. Friends have described it as a supernatural slice-of-life, which probably isn't too far off.

Essentially, this is just me thinking about my OCs and documenting it on paper. Bits and pieces of their undead lives.

It all started with an unwanted turning, and it just kinda snowballed from there! :D

For now, the full comic is found mainly on Toyhou.se, but this tumblr will catch up soon enough.

Tag system and navigation below the cut.

The Tag System

A mobile-friendly, brief overview of the tags I use here. For more information and on-blog chrono tags, click the headers. (desktop only, probably. also very WIP.)

Sketchbook tags

01 small beginnings 02 the pink one 03 teddy bear 04 linnanmäki 05 moomin 06 duct taped spine 07 the green one 08 navy blue --- 📚 misc sketchbooks

- Story tags

📕 main story Things from the main story section of the toyhouse mirror. The red book emoji notes that it is in sketchbook order - so yes, it will be a bit jumbled up, as it is appearing in the order it appears in my sketchbooks. The order I draw them in. Sorry to say, I do not always make these in a linear, chronological order. This became a coherent story by accident.

📗 bonus bits Things from the bonus section of the toyhouse mirror. Mostly still canon, unless it has the "old and outdated" tag!

📘 linear story Not really a thing yet, though ideally, this will be the version of my comic that you can read linearly on tumblr. Singular page per post. Flip through them like a book. Will it ever happen? Who knows! For now, if you simply want to read the whole thing chronologically, there's always this.

The chapters Titles are, of course, subject to change, in which case I will change the names of these links.

📕 prologue 📕 obliviously undead 📕 batventures 📕 slayer intermission 📕 getting used to this 📕 the hunt 📕 vanpires 📕 viking discovery 📕 sailing 📕 abandoned grounds 📕 more sailing 📕 home to mother 📕 most pathetic slayer

📕 there has been a timeskip

Hello there beautiful pen and inky scribblers, how have you all been today. I'm late in posting this week prompts, here's day 5 week 4 prompt of the #penandinkchallege The ideas for this week have been set by @realmaximka25 and @penandinkchallenge she has chosen the prompts 'Movie Lovers', for today's prompt 27th January was 'Actor'. I have chosen Brent Spiner from 'Star Trek' TNG as 'Data' I took my time doing this especially as I wasn't sure how the paper would handle the watered down ink colours, but I was very pleased as it didn't bleed through... What do you think is it any good as Data...?

Hello there beautiful pen and inky scribblers, how are you all doing today. Here's the 20th January's week 3 prompts of the #penandinkchallege This week ideas have been set by @claudespaintings and @penandinkchallenge The prompts she has chosen is 'Winter Animals' and for today it's 'The Penguin' Penguins comes from the Sphenisciformes group. They are a group of aquatic flightless birds that live mostly in the Southern hemisphere for one species, the Galápagos penguin, which is found north of the Equator. With their large heads, elongate bodies, and upright stance, penguins look somewhat human as they waddle around on land. The most common plumage, a black back and white chest, evokes a comparison with tuxedoed waiters. All penguins share a set of anatomical features that make them uniquely adapted for life in a marine environment. They have the ability to dive and maneuver with agility underwater. They have very solid, heavy bones, their wings have been changed over time into stiff, flat flippers, their webbed feet are set well back on the body. They have short, stiff feathers that repel water and provide excellent insulation. Most penguins feed on krill, fish, squid and other forms of sea life which they catch with their bills and swallow it whole while swimming.

Hello there I'm late in posting this but here's day 4 of the #penandinkchallege hosted by @penandinkchallenge and the lovely Kari of @kari.bullet.journal The prompt was Magical Present 🎁🎁 The only thing I could think of was a present my best friend bought my son, it was the 1st edition of 6 J.K.Rowling Harry Potter books, these were got for him long before any of the films came out and was something my son loved. I then took him to see every film as soon as they came out (it was our thing).
