She'll be your bartender tonight, what can she get you? (insert death parade's opening with the Cheth's and Phae)

Honestly? My main piece of advice for writing well-rounded characters is to make them a little bit lame. No real living person is 100% cool and suave 100% of the time. Everyone's a little awkward sometimes, or gets too excited about something goofy, or has a silly fear, or laughs about stupid things. Being a bit of a loser is an incurable part of the human condition. Utilize that in your writing.

anything I write/draw that's remotely spicy always comes back to this vibe

other people: and then they smashed like beasts

me: they did that but also they made breakfast together in the morning

hey, hey. I don't know who needs to hear this, but--if you are a webcomic creator working with a publisher that tells you things like "your series is under preforming" as a reason why they can't meet certain, very basic requests you make, and leverages this vague statement against you as a way to position and request more from you--know that it is probably, definately, part of a script they use for every. single. creator. they work with.

If you are working hard, producing good work, meeting those deadlines, and communicating as well as you are able with the publisher, etc, you are a rockstar. Your series performance isn't YOUR job. It's their job to promote it and get those sales and numbers for you.

Don't let these companies get under your skin. They know you're working on something you are passionate about. They are banking on the assumption that you are trying to prove your own worth to yourself. They will say some extremely devaluing shit to you in their effort to squeeze as much out of you as possible.

When push comes to shove, if they can not provide what you need, then what you need is to walk away. You've got incredible skill and an incredible work ethic. If you didn't, they'd have never approached you in the first place. Know when a publisher is trying to tear you down for their own gain and leave 'em in the dirt. A publisher shouldn't be using language to make you feel like a disappointment. Nothing you've done for them is disappointing. They're not paying you enough.

New animation!

Based on the webcomic @phantomarine, this animatic uses the song "Who Is She" by I Monsters to draw parallel between Cheth and Phaedra, and their respective devotion >:)

Enjoy!

Is there a way you imagine your character's voices sounding?

Wanted to draw Phae in her training look(I assume it's for that) cause it's cool and I love handwrappings After drawing baby Phae she started growing on me from positively neutral to liking her more and more, and I need her to be more popular, you go my dear dumb girl, enjoy a journey of putting in question your entire existance!!

In a couple of weeks I will be finishing up my current dayjob contract, and taking a long break until the next project!

My goals for this time are to put extra effort into my Patre0n, and bring the comic back to 2 pages a week to end this chapter.

I also might be working on a comic piece for an NSFW anthology, if all works out. Very new territory for me, but fun to try out 👀

Anything else you’d like to see here or elsewhere?

Keep seeing that post where OP starts like 'Thinking about...grieving the undead' and then adds on about like. Real life situations where people have not died but have left your life and you would have reason to grieve them.

All respect, that's an important concept, but that is not what I am thinking about when I read 'grieving the undead'.
