Oh hey look it's my new comic!!

This is probably the most unhinged story I made after that swan comic *wink wink* although this one is less horror and a lot more fluff (pun intended)

Cover and preview pages from @cicadako's new upcoming comic, 'Devour Me!' Andrea was given an ultimatum by her partner: Devour his flesh or breakup with him! Facing such an impossible choice, does she got that dog in her to save her relationship? Follow Andrea embark on a fun and gory little trip about emotional intimacy and silly dogs to find out the answer.  This comic will be available digitally from October 1-31st as part of ShortBox Comics Fair, an online-only event that sees the release of over 150+ new, original comics from artists all around the world!

oh you're in a horror film/book and your phone died/has no bars? how boring. I think phones in horror SHOULD work. they should ding only to have the protagonist check and find nothing. they should get calls from somebody you don't know but is still somehow in your contacts. google maps should lead you to one place, no matter what address you type in.

phones are such a big part of our daily lives, removing them from horror removes the horror from our experience. what if the horror felt like it could happen to you, right here, right now? what if it felt like it was already happening?

do you have any tips for someone who wants to get serious about making comics/comic panels? love your art btw x

JUST DO IT

Have a read through Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud, extremely great book talking about the medium of comics, it's long but my god is it good. I think chapter 4 is particularly useful for ppl w/o a lot of comic experience.

Remember that comics are not storyboards for tv/film, they do things way cooler than that (see tip #2) 😎

Read lots of comics!! i consumed manga in my teens at an unholy pace + learnt a lot unconsciously while doing so. (I read a lot less now unfortunately and maybe manage a graphic novel every 6 months)

JUST DO IT, DONT THINK, JUST MAKE COMICS, THEY MIGHT BE BAD OR A LITTLE UNCREATIVE AT FIRST AND THAT'S GREAT BC YOU MADE A COMIC AND YOU ONLY GET BETTER WITH PRACTICE, JUST DO IT!!!!!!!!!!

Spring series all together! I don't normally use pastel colors, or draw spring-themed works, and I really enjoyed it.

Omg that's so nice to know?? I'm kinda surprised since Swan Maiden doesn't get much attention compared to Stabbed on Tumblr.

I'm proud for both but I thought ppl here would remember me more as the gut-stabbing lesbian artist lmao
