I finally had some time to check out a few of the other comics available in this year's ShortBox Comics Fair, and like last year, I thought I'd do some drawings based on ones I've really enjoyed so far! These ones are...
"Marrow" by Sloane Hong
"A Three Body Problem" by Tan Juan Gee

Wash Day Diaries (2022 graphic novel by Jamila Rowser and Robyn Smith)
“The phrase “wash day” has a very specific meaning to Black women and femmes. It harkens the days of our childhood when a grown up would wash our hair in a sink, giving our scalp a much-needed scratch. The memories of sitting under a dryer and—for some of us—the dreaded hot comb are still fresh. And as we grew up, that day manifested into our adult routines with washing, deep conditioning, protein treatments, salon trips, long braiding sessions over girl talk, and much more. That’s why writer/publisher Jamila Rowser and artist Robyn Smith’s Wash Day Diaries will strike a chord with so many of us.”

“Any chance us being trapped in here is just your strange, twisted idea of a date?”
“No, Kai. We’re actually trapped.”
“Y’know you can lie to me sometimes. I’d be okay with that.”
yet MORE art for another post-Crystallized, pre-ninja-get-their-powers-back fic I have in the works :D
Skylor and Kai end up in an interesting situation, trapped in an ancient temple on Chen’s island. also the perfect time to have that conversation about their relationship that they promised in Crystallized.
not Kailor cause they’re both GAY but I’m not gonna come at anyone who tags it as such
(also, I’m not one to fish for compliments but this took me SO long to draw so kind words are greatly appreciated <33)
