I don’t usually post this type of doodling but these turned out pretty neat haha

The good thing about boring lectures is you end up drawing a lot

Guilty pleasure: draw your OC’s posing like fashion models ☆ I have a pile of copics gathering dust and lately I’ve been wanting to use them more

I find Amber to be an absolute delight (it helps that she's my type too tho what a babe +o+ is she into women)

Haha thanks, I’m really happy when people like Amber ;;;

Is Amber into women? The thing is she’s super promiscuous and naughty, like literally having three or four “boyfriends” at a time because she gets bored easily. Some of those could be girls no problem, but I’m kinnnnda uncomfortable making this kind of character represent gay/bi people? Not too fond of the stereotype that LGBTQ+ folks have no ambitions besides getting laid.

So yeah, for that reason I’d prefer she was straight. Who knows if I’ll change my mind for some reason, though :U

Anonymous asked:

how do you do the layout process in your comics? thank you for the AMA.

Hey no problem! Here’s thumbnails for these two pages. It’s a Photoshop file with a chapter’s worth of blank spreads that I fill in as I go. Drawings are on a separate layer so I can easily move things around with the lasso tool, or add more panels in between, or scrap them, or change their size or whatever

I’ve made this as convenient as possible for myself because thumbnailing is a pain in the ass, sometimes I spend hours wrestling layouts into shape only to get a page or two completed. And I’m not super fond of this example spread either, I’m like 70% satisfied with it haha. But it’s ok, I’ll just try to make the next ones better. That’s comics for ya

Anonymous asked:

Has there been another situations where someone said your Character looked like X from Y show? Would you share? or does it really bother you?

Good question. Not a lot really! One time someone said Jon looks like Ginko from Mushishi and I don’t mind because Ginko is great.

A few times I’ve heard that Elias is like Hughes from FMA but it’s actually a pet peeve because both wear glasses + uniform and that’s where the similarities end also that is the worst ahoge I’ve seen

Advice though: if you ever think an artist’s work resembles another artist’s work, DON’T tell them (unless it’s literally ripped off and needs that criticism). You may think it’s a compliment but most artists don’t appreciate it. They want to be viewed as their own person, not a knock-off of someone else.

Idk how I didn't know about your comic until today. But IT IS SO GREAT. My main question is about how everyone and their mother has little mole marks by their eyes. Is it a mole? Is it just a stylistic thing? Idk why it caught my attention but it did ahaha. Anyways I really love your comic! Thank you!

Hello new reader!! Thank you so much!

Haha everybody keeps asking that. I’ve covered this in the FAQ but basically it’s just a simple cue to tell the ghosts and normal people apart.

In canon it’s technically a skin condition but there’s a little bit of lore attached to it. According to legend it’s a second pair of eyes, gifted by a mysterious entity for mysterious reasons :U
