Hello there, I'm kind of a old reader of your comic and while I'm glad that it is back I'm also a bit worried if everything is going ok. Last time I heard that you finally got your dream job so I was ok with the hiatus. I love phantomland and I hope that everything is going alright for you but if I'm intruding too much then sorry and you don't have to answer if this ask makes you uncomfortable.

Hahaha no, I’m doing pretty great actually! I’m flattered that you care <3 that’s really kind of you!

Yeah, I got the dayjob and immediately had to freeze all personal projects so I could focus on making a good impression at the company (worth it, they do seem to like me!). Took me two years but I’ve finally gotten my life arranged in a way where I’m able to draw a webcomic again. I really missed drawing it too!

why not have the mantaur race that are all beefy men have trans mantaur men that give birth to them all?

Because “mantaur” is a stupid goddamn concept and I’m not in the business of making it any less stupid

Because cishet old me ain’t qualified to examine the implications of a society where transmen exist but women don’t. You’re welcome to give it a shot by yourself though

mrsmimithecakepooslushie asked:

Any tips on gaining followers? Your art is so great and pretty!

Thank you! The secret is you gotta pander to big fandoms with cute fanart, funny fanart or sexy fanart. Ultimate combo: cute boys acting dorky then making out. Once you’ve done this it’s time to hope desperately that your new followers will tolerate your original stuff as well

(PSA: big follower count won’t necessarily make you happy and it also makes you more likely to be harassed)

superfunkysushimonkey asked:

Hello, Maaria! Will you be sharing your stunning Radicles drawing on this Tumblr, as well?

Oh, damn, should I?

Ok I will :O

ppphm-deleting-soon-deactivated asked:

Are you ok?

I’m ok! Thanks for asking!

I got hired by the game company and I also started dating so I’ve been really busy lately! Happy but busy. Haven’t been able to draw much but I’ll fix that as soon as I unlearn some bad habits that are holding me back (= not sleeping enough for starters)

I’m a bit more active on my Twitter if you’re curious. Also posting some doodles there!

hollow9-n-stuff asked:

You said in one of your posts that Elias hates Amber, is there some info I haven't seen on why that is or will it be revealed later on? I haven't noticed any evidence so far in art you do of them. It seems a bit strange to me that he would dislike Amber yet be friends(ish) with Jon (being how he is when it comes to doing his job).

Thanks for asking! You know how siblings despise each other and get into petty fights all the time? But when shit gets real they’ll still help and support each other? It’s a lot like that 

i-am-not-angsty asked:

That Team Rocket picture you drew is just too fucking amazing. How did you come up with the design for the both of them?

Thanks!

At first I thought Jessie’s canon hairstyle was too silly and I just didn’t wanna draw it haha. So I turned it into a braid and ended up changing the rest of the designs as well, I wanted them to look more casual but still recognizable. Btw, for people wondering: I wrote “after 20 years” but I don’t actually mean they’re 20 years older. Cartoon characters don’t age… at least Ash doesn’t

This sort of “loose interpretation” fan art (here’s another, and here) is actually really fun to do and I hope I’ll draw more of it sometime :)
