TLDR; this comic dragged 14 year old me into comic making/ story telling and I am still inspired by this comic to continue my other works.

Update I just read the whole thing again and I have officially slid back into my undertale interest. Rip any studying I was suppose to do

Also I found the original comic dub that I discovered this comic and it’s from 2016, I am officially ancient.

I didn’t realize how much this comic influenced my artstyle from back then to now and what I am going for, the coloring and the shading is fantastic and I am still lowkey trying to replicate it to this day lol. My first really solid memory was the freakin blinds lol. 14 year old me geeked over the blinds and spent like hours try to recreate it lol. Also the bros relationship goes so hard, got me tearing up frfr. Bro so much of my writing literally was inspired by this comic, I literally have sibling relationships a central part of all my stories now, and it is literally based on how so well done their relationship was done in this story. I ended up writing so many sibling relationship stories that I got my minor in creative writing.

Hopefully when I actually get the balls to post my stuff on here, I can have evidence of what I’m talking about. But this comic literally changed my life when I was 14 and I am still inspiring to write/draw as well as Wily-arts.

Also my many reactions to the comic below and the blinds picture because HOW THE FUCK DOES THE BLINDS LOOK SO GOOD????????? IMMA DRAW SOME BLINDS TOMORROW AND SEE IF I CAN MAKE THEM LOOK THAT GOOD.

I will recognize you in total darkness, were you mute and deaf. I will recognize you in another lifetime entirely, in different bodies, different times and I will love you in all of this, until the very last star in the sky burnt out into oblivion.

I'm absolutely obsessed with my current D&D character which is great for D&D but it makes it hard to focus on work sometimes. I super need to write my thesis whoops.

So anyways let me tell you about my dumb clown son.

This is Pascal:

I've found a love for medival clown fashion design? Pascal likes to sew and designs his own costumes so I get to draw lots of fun clothes for him. He makes them all kind of modular so he can mix and match pieces and be dressed differently every day.

Here's some more of his outfits. This one was party wear, for a masquerade:

We recently got winter gear which he dismantled and turned into clowny stuff, so here's his winter outfit:

I forgot his necklace and didn't color the earring in the winter one, but I was slapping this together in a rush to be able to show my party what I did with the nice practical warm weather gear they bought for me. ^^;;

Odds are low my party will ever see this, but just in case - MASSIVE SPOILERS below the cut! Pascal's got hella secrets!

Pascal has spent his life as a clown to hide that he is actually a tiefling. He is the son of a half elf and the archdevil Levistus (though he has no idea who his dad is), so he claims he is a half elf and does all he can to hide his tiefling traits. His horns are very short and about the same color as his hair, so he can just tease his hair really big and/or wear a hat to hide those. His tail he binds to his leg then hides that under poofy shorts. Exposed white except for his face and ears in the above images is all fabric (long gloves and stockings), and his face and ears are covered in thick makeup. He's blue, actually.

-cut-

All party members gone? Good.

Like this:

My party has just arrived at our first major plot destination and it's turned out to be a place cursed by Levistus. The rest of the party has only had fairly vague allusions to this and doesn't know Levistus has anything to do with me (all they know is Pascal is a clown and probably a half elf or something). To be fair, it's not like Pascal knows he has anything to do with Levistus either.

(His secrets come in layers, so there's more to uncover down the line. 1. He's a tiefling. 2. His dad's Levistus. 3. His mother's curse is from her trying to break a pact with Levistus, which he was supposed to be the payment for - as a warrior for Levistus to do his bidding in the material plane.)

The party has been super nice and respectful of Pascal's quirks and dodginess (he will only sleep alone, in his own tent or a separate room; he doesn't eat in front of them; if he gets cuts he gets away from them and focuses on stitching up his clothes and ignores the bleeding). It's very sweet but it means they take zero bait to be nosy about what his deal is.

So my DM has checked with me about setting something up to expose his secrets in some way? I'm excited. 👀 Can't wait for the party to realize he's a liar. He's going to be so upset, it'll be great.

Outfit designs for a cool character I made a few months ago.

In this one I was reaching the level of detail I like to deliver for these kind of commissions.

Anyway, it has been centuries since my last dragon themed monster girl so I was due to make a new one~ The last one had a more geisha-like outfit and hair, so this lady got a fantasy qipao🥮

Another renfaire outfit option. I absolutely love the top, buuuuut it's way to close to my skin tone. It's a thrift flip I did a while ago and I just can't wear it when I know the shirt disappears the further I am from someone so I was thinking about attempting to dye it a darker brown. Unfortunately, I've never dyed anything before so the likelihood of it turning out good is kind of slim. Plus I have no idea what it would do to the flower pattern that's already on it so theres that to consider too.
