Omg did I ever post my UniSword pride piece here? Uh. I gotta fix that.
Here’s some elaboration(?) and clearer flags for those who need it lol. I made this for people not familiar with the characters so they can have a name to go with the face :)





#art#my art#UniSword#original characters#Yuno Yashu (UniSword)#Atlas Telamon (UniSword)#‘Z’ (UniSword)#Sloane Rousseau (UniSword)#Iris von Zimmern (UniSword)#pride month moment#uhhhhh read my comic if you haven’t lol#granted it's first chapter is like. oh my god.... 4 years old? jesus. anyways.#also may genuinely make those little full figures of the guys into keychains? I’m not sure#cuz the only demographic is in fact me lol#some of these have already been confirmed in the comic (i.e Iris)#some will be discussed and explored later in the comic! (i.e Z)#some of these may even change/have additions as the story goes on! But these are the concrete flags of everyone lol#idk man I love my comic children or something#and also one more thing the watermark is for my instagram (april__dingbat) and not here (april-doodles) so that’s why that’s different lol

Now listen, I know in my heart and soul Rachel probably isn’t a football fan. But also any time a character I like is said to be from Buffalo, New York (either canonical or otherwise) I must turn them into a Buffalo Bills fan. Anyways, in current Bills tradition we like to throw ourselves at tables to break them which was VERY funny for me to think of Rachel doing, so uh. Go, girl!
Heya! April-Doodles here, I was wondering if you had any hometowns for the Goslings in mind. I know it’s been mentioned that Jones is from Alaska, so that got me wondering about everyone else. Do they have accents from their hometowns, and would specific Goslings cover up their accent or proudly speak in accent-lingo no one else understands? I think it would be cute to know little quirks that the Goslings have because of where they were raised.
I have my own silly guesses (would they be headcanons at this point?) as to where I would put the Goslings, but I also think I just thought about Massachusetts/Heavy Boston accent Mosson one day and giggled very hard over it, which is in the sketch vault, but I digress—I would love an author-canonical answer for my silly questions!
Hello!! This is something Gabe and I have had established for a while but we haven’t had the chance to reveal all of their home states yet. We don’t have any soecific towns/cities in mind necessarily, except for Jason being from Gentry, Arkansas. But~
Palmer is a SoCal boy. I personally headcanon him living and growing up in San Diego. His parents are immigrants from Mexico. He is bilingual and speaks Spanish as well as English. We’ve touched a little on his accent in Say Nothing and how he’s slowly letting it come through more and more, but used to hide it.
Elliott is from Colorado, like Kim! We figure he’s probably a city kid, but haven’t delved too deep into his life outside of being a soldier. He’d have a pretty standard American accent.
Mosson is from upstate New York, on the Eastern side. He’s roamed all over New England and parts of Canada and is a big outdoors guy. Doesn’t talk like a stereotypical New Yorker, but he can do an incredible impression of that accent.
And Jones is, of course, from Alaska, which we’ve revealed in the fic.
Nick wears a Chicago shirt in the game so we assume that’s where he is from, while we headcanon that Rachel and Eric are both from New York state. Eric would’ve grown up around the Catskills and Rachel across the state in Buffalo.
Rana would have an accent similar to Salim’s. We haven’t decided exactly where in Iraq she is from, but since she is a well-known archaeologist, she travels often anyway. She is from one of the more traditional cities of Iraq, however, which is why she wears hijab.
Sun-Hi is from Colorado, as mentioned before. She is also bilingual, Korean being her first language, but when she speaks English she has a standard American accent.
#the rare April reblog…#ask#my art#house of ashes fanfic fanart#say nothing fic#hoa#salim hoa#jason hoa#rachel hoa#eric hoa#nick hoa#the goslings#MY BELOVEDDDD BUFFALO BILLS#i’m not even a New Yorker I just love this team fjsjfjdj#my football sleeper agent. sorry guys.#their fans are so insane too. throwing people into tables to break them. drinking beer out of bowling balls. just dousing a man in mustard.#I fucking love the Bills they’re the best.#also the jerseys I have Rachel and Mosson wearing are Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas respectively

I just wrapped up Season One of my webcomic, UniSword!! You can read it all on ComicFury or Tapas
I started (re)publishing this comic in 2021 and I can confidently say that after 3 years, I need a nice rest before I begin working on S2.
But also… I may have some other comic ideas in the works/finished… Here are some sneak peeks of those…


#my art#sketch#unisword#original characters#anyways read my comic hshdhsh 🔫#comic talk#self portrait#The sneak peek on the Left is from an already done short-story (just waiting to publish it)#and then the character page is from something in barebones stages#but is also planning to be my senior thesis!!#very eventful times for me I tell you what

My sketchbook is meant for the silliest things ONLY. (Different iterations and reference under cut)



Here’s the Processed hand-lettered, non-processed, and non-processed nor colored/halftoned iterations.
The ref. is this edited panel of Moon Knight. Made me laugh real good so I made it into Salim :)

I offer some fanfiction fanart once more (this time in my sketchbook) <3. All characters belong to @katzenprinz and @thunderwhenhepurrs








Bonus: @frogtimefool and I were asked if we wanted our art to be featured in a chapter and this was our (or, my) genuine reactions (thank you once again for featuring our stuff, good authors!)

#my art#original characters#(but not my original characters)#house of ashes fanfic fanart#hoa#say nothing fic#I am. normal about this fanfic. i swear.#@frogtimefool and I fucking love this fic it’s so good to us LOL#the amount of gosling doodles that have littered my sketchbooks are INSANE. The headcanons that I’ve developed…

Wanted to share some Comic Page jazz, so here’s the thumbnails, lineart, and final of the page that got uploaded today! (If you’d like, you can read this page here or start reading from the beginning)
There’s other steps to my process (refined sketch and such) but I felt like these three were the most “exemplary” of how I work lol. I also didn’t include the speech said so there’s still something to read over on the main comic site!
#my art#comic jazz#UniSword#original characters#Yuno Yashu (UniSword)#‘Z’ (UniSword)#shameless comic promo#for Z’s speech bubble she’s speaking in sign language (asl in this case) so I make her bubble try and depict that!

My pal @frogtimefool have been going insane over House of Ashes so naturally we got hooked on a silly little fanfic by @katzenprinz and @thunderwhenhepurrs and we went SO insane over the characters they made for this story that we had to draw them. I’m not sure they’re described in full-detail in the fic? So we have our own little headcanons about what they look like :)
(And then bonus silly doodles under the cut)









#my art#friend art#original characters#(but not my original characters)#how do I tag this……#house of ashes fanfic fanart#hoa#say nothing fic#we watched Slimecicle and Condifiction play it then I started reading this fanfiction and THEN#I forced Bowie to read all of the chapters in like a week we went. insane.#we text each other ‘IT UPDATEDDDDD!!!!’ with additional personal moodboards for each chapter.#it’s. so good for us actually.#in any case. hands this to the writers with a cute little bow on it.
