Example 1786580 on how I make my comic process harder for myself than it needs to be: Not using the panel tool and no ruler to for my panel lines because I want them to be slightly wonky and different but also still very clean and as straight as possible

Saw someone make a post asking elder Millenials how it felt when Hook was coming out and my bi ass did not read this as the movie coming out and thought I had missed a big plot point. Good for Captain Hook!!

A really fun challenge of this graphic novel is to show the same characters growing up, in different stages of their life, and still keeping them consistent

Collage of some comic snippets of original characters Aran and Tao through the ages. Showing them first at age 8, then age 12-13, age 14-15 and finally at age 19

Aran Mussa: born in Syria, moved to NYC when he was about 2-3yo, gay, music nerd, cat magnet, Scorpio (October 25th 1989) Shěn ZhìTao (goes by Tao): NYC born to Taiwanese parents, bi, basketball nerd and athlete, adhd, Aries (April 7th 1990)

One thing I really want to get better at is drawing small cluttered spaces I feel I struggle with size, especially when it comes to small rooms. Having to keep a wall more or less open to show the place messed with my sense of space
