do you ever draw something for yourself that’s so deliciously self-indulgent that you just sit there like

[Image ID: 2 digital drawings of a short-haired person drawing on a tablet. In the first image they are looking at the screen and blushing pink. In the second image they are looking away from the screen and blushing more heavily, with the caption “…is this allowed?”. End ID]

#MakeATerribleComicDay2025 presents: a short comic called "Wishful Thinking".

(Spoiler warning for the ending of Chapter 4 in Deltarune.)

Why yes I DID finish the latest Deltarune chapters with a lot of feels goddammit, why do you ask? ;o; <3

I literally worked on this all of yesterday, but I did finish it on time for the annual messy comic art holiday! And it may have just inspired me to keep making more comics in general, because I didn't realize how badly I missed doing storytelling like this.

The Deltarune Squad

Behold them! I spent all day yesterday trying to get the Deltarune bees out of my brain with some expression sketchpages… And all it did was make me wanna draw them even more, because this style is actually really, really fun!!

Summertime Amber

I discovered today that today is International Lynx Day, so I had to draw an Amber! She’s a winter-loving wildcat, of course, but that doesn’t mean that she can’t enjoy summertime! So here’s my sunny poolside cat to celebrate the day~

Enra’s Jam

Being on stage unleashes a whole other side for this punky pig! Her confidence soars, her voice roars, and she rocks her bass with a rhythmic fury only fingers with hooftips could slap down~ This is the duality of Enra. <3 

(Also this is the first piece I’ve created for Ko-fi that has sponsored support, so please behold the names of this artwork’s sponsors~! What a milestone! Thank you so much to my Lynxie Helpers and One-Time Sponsors from the last month. <3)

Southern Comfort (2001)

A beautiful scene featuring transgender man Robert Eades and his transgender girlfriend Lola.

I finally jumped back into making "minimations" for a special commission event, to help myself remember how to use CSP for animating! I made a point of restricting myself to only drawing 3 frames at most per animation, and I think that made for some very fun and fast results~ I think I might try for more like these in the near future, especially now that I know how to streamline the setup!

(Additional "fun" fact: My computer's GPU decided to die the precise moment I put pen to tablet after I had finished chatting with my stream audience on the first day I started work on these. Of COURSE my computer couldn't wait until the weekend to crap out on me, but at least I had my new laptop as a backup that was strong enough to run CSP and OBS for that week until I got my new rig! Yay for unintended foresight!)

I recently finished watching Dororo (2019) with my weekly anime group, and this show instantly became one of my favorites… Great action animation with a surprisingly well-realized story, and I really loved Dororo and Hyakkimaru’s dynamic. So naturally, I had to strike while the iron is hot, and draw some fanart. <3 This was also an experiment to see how much I could get away with using only 5 colours of acrylic marker, and because of it, I figured out a LOT about layering with these markers that I wouldn’t have otherwise! (e.g. Dororo’s hair shading is green with a layer of pink on top~ I only used 2 shades of pink in this picture!)

Scratch and Rough

I’ve been doing more experimenting with more involved paintings using my acrylic markers, and recently finished this piece starring my husband’s BREAK!! character: Scratch the biomechanoid battle prince, and his magical Cane Corso companion, Rough! (I also have a set of WIPs for this painting available to supporters of my Ko-fi here: https://ko-fi.com/i/IH2H31C5J41 )
