From the publisher that brought you Transphoria, Bi Visibility, and Hairology comes Aces & Aros: An Asexual and Aromantic Comic Book Anthology!

Kat Calamia & Phil Falco (Lifeline Comics) are joined on the Editorial Team by prolific demisexual creator, Jeremy Whitley, who will tell you below why this anthology and Aspec Representation is so important:

"As I discussed in my story in this anthology, a few years ago I had the amazing experience of making a comic about being Ace with a full team of Aspec creators. I can't express how fulfilling that experience was. It was like I'd had the same song in my head for years and I'd been trying to hum it to people, but nobody had ever heard it. Then suddenly I was in a room where four other people not only knew it, but knew parts of it that I couldn't remember. They remembered it. Maybe they even knew the song's name. It was incredible and I wanted more Ace people to have that feeling. When Kat and Phil gave me the opportunity to work on this, I thought how incredible it would be to have a team full of people who knew different parts of this song. If there were enough of it, maybe we could actually get other people to understand it. We could actually help the people out there who had a few notes stuck in their head recognize the song. Now it's your turn. You get to help us sing this song and share it with more people. I can't wait for you to hear it. It might be more familiar than you realize."

Aces & Aros features the work of Jeremy Whitley (Unstoppable Wasp, My Little Pony), Kelly Fitzpatrick (Archie), Jenn K. Tidwell (Red Vs. Blue, RWBY), Derek V. Song & Alex Brennan-Dent (WEBTOON's Fantasy High), Bailie Rosenlund (Avengers Academy), Mauricio Mora (HAUNTING, Damsel from D.I.S.T.R.E.S.S.), Emily C. Martin (Princeless), C.K. Carpenter (Scott Snyder Presents Tales from the Cloakroom), Rani Sisavath (WEBTOON's Kai), Yonson Carbonell (Strange Ranger), Michela Cacciatore (Soleil, IDW, Disney’s Lorcana), and many more talented creators!

Our founder needs some help!

Please give what you can to help treat and heal someone who has healed many of us by keeping queer sexuality education and support free to young people, even (and especially) when it was/is politically dangerous to do so. We'd be nowhere without Heather Corinna!❤️‍🩹

Healthcare, including dental, in the USA is a joke and Heather is having to cover at least $10k for the first two phases of treatment/surgery all just to keep their jaw from crumbling. If you can spare any funds this month please help save Heather's jaw!

Did I do screen cap redraws of a show I haven’t seen? Yes, yes I did, but he’s my baby boy blue so it doesn’t matter.

Left image is the full page and you really see the difference between putting down a complete structure and essentially going in with only marker. Top right corner has Nightcrawler smiling all in marker. The eyes a little small, the mouth is too low, but my guidelines were all in marker.

Right image has a close up of the bottom left corner of the left image, showing Nightcrawler looking over his shoulder to smile at the viewer. The proportions are much better here and in the next image as I laid down the whole basic structure with a blue pencil first.

Center image is a close up of the bottom right which shows Nightcrawler from the front smiling again but with a closed mouth this time. This one the photo was taken before I finished coloring it in.

These are the screen caps and I put them in the order the pics from my sketchbook are.

EMERGENCY COST OF LIVING FUND

Prynhawn da - I hate to have to do this again, but as I mentioned in my last post, I'm at serious risk of going into debt because of the cost of living crisis.

I have £35 in combined overdraft and upcoming bills to pay before the 7th of March or I will get into debt with my bank. Which is something I want to avoid at all costs.

If you see something on my gumroad (link in bio) you'd like, please email me at llyfrenfys@gmail.com and we can sort out payment through PayPal (same email).

I wouldn't ask unless it was a crisis - if you cannot buy something, please share. I currently have no money for food - I'm having to prioritise my bills so I don't get into debt. So anything you can spare will make a world of difference to me.

I wish it wasn't this way - that artists and writers like me weren't constantly stifled by living costs. But if you don't support small artists - we will go under. Queer art and writing is needed in the world and I hate that those of us who are most marginalised are the most vulnerable to these problems.

Please share and donate if you are able. Thank you
