I’m drawing a comic, there’s something for everyone! Onion Pendergrass discovers he is the one, a benevolent nature cryptid, when the mystery of his father’s disappearance leads him to a crumbling blue Victorian deep in the Appalachian mountains, sitting on a long hidden supernatural family secret.

I did a little Blue Hollow page preview pack for editors to look at, do you also want to look?? 😮 This is chapter 2: scene 1... three varieties of ghost, two teen boyfriends, and the one type of scowl that unites them. ❤️ This is enemies to lovers YA, baby. Follow for the full pages.... soon 🌱

Sheriff Dale Abernathy and teen Onion Pendergrass approach a blue house on a gloomy day.
Dale: ok Will, look sharp.
he knocks on the door
someone beyond the door: Hold on for just a second!
Dale coughs while they wait, but Onion looks off into the yard, where many ghosts linger in the distance surrounding the tombstones out by the treeline.
Dale tips his hat back: Some house, huh? Whoever built this sure had some scratch! you heard of the waylon mine?
Onion isn't listening.
Onion thinks: There's a lot here. is it cuz we're so far in?

a large man with red hair and overalls opens the door.
George: howdy, sheriff abernathy! this the kid you said?
dale: yes indeedy! william frost pendergrass. this is he! say hi, will.
Onion says nothing, but he has a black eye that radiates purple.
George: whew! that is some shiner, sonny! hope you're not afraid of getting dirty! ha hah! oops, looks like you got that one covered. We got one of your type here already, you're gonna fit right in. I'm george, you'll be working with me. welcome to the blue house! come on in, I'll introduce you to the owner.
Onion scowls, remaining silent.

they walk through the interior of the house-- an old and rotting victorian mansion, the inside painted mostly blue. the wall is peeling and detritus is everywhere.
George: sorry about the mess! well, I guess that's what you're here for, huh sport? ha ha ha!
George turns to converse with Dale, Onion lagging behind.
George: the damn house got built in 1876 so you know it's all fucked up inside! been here six months and barely made a dent!
Dale: yall got any pest control issues? termites?
George: ohhh, rats? cockroaches? this and that! no wood borers though, thank god.
Onion stops at the sound of whistling and looks through an open door into another room.

The geometry of the house briefly bends out of reality, and Onion finds himself staring down a long corridor full of black doorways, at the end of which a blue ghost of a teenage girl is seen stepping just off scene.
Dale smacks Onion's shoulder, bringing him back to reality.
Dale: C'mon, trouble.
Onion looks back, but the corridor is gone. Only a single room remains.

I will be happy someday soon

teenagers Bill and Onion from the graphic novel Blue Hollow share a kiss by large windows overlooking mountains, while bright green houseplants frame them in the foreground.

heart of the mountain

the drawing is a green-saturated illustration featuring a mysterious young woman from the graphic novel project, Blue Hollow. She has on an old timey simple green dress with belle sleeves, has very long white curly hair, no shoes, and reaches out to you as if beckoning you to follow. She just barely touches the surface of black water with a toe, and a sheer shroud over her head blows in the wind. Behind her is a mighty weeping willow on flat black. She is someone very important, but kept a treasured secret away from the prying eyes of anyone who once knew her.

if you are an ND queer who has been bodied by grief, this comic may be for you! 15 y/o delinquent Onion discovers he is the one, a benevolent nature cryptid, when the pursuit of his missing father leads him to a crumbling blue victorian deep in the mountains. Join the discord! discord.gg/dKRpVxVR9Y

teen protagonist Onion Pendergrass, (15 y/o, auburn hair with a camo hunting jacket on that's too big) looks across a sweeping valley in a double page spread. In the distance the town of Mockernut is nestled in a bend in the river. The title text "BLUE HOLLOW" overlays the right side of the spread.

Onion and his love interest Bill share a loving moment. Onion has come down from the trees, leaving green leaves in his wake. As he kneels down, a series of supernatural and natural creatures follow him down the slope. Bill greets him affectionately, and a misty green substance twists around his legs in apparent affection. A crow has landed on Onion's back, but he pays it no mind.

the mysterious priestess Aradia Hargrove holds a candelabra and shushes the viewer from down a long, dark hall. A sheer curtain blows in the foreground.

Onion sits under the branches of a willow tree on a dreary day. The willow fronds blow in towards him, as if choking or trapping him inside. The tree's blury reflection takes up most of the drawing.

don't go yet

in a surreal wooded night time setting, two boys stand on the surface of a lake. One, tinted green, holds the other one close, tinted blue. The blue boy is covered by a translucent shroud which blows back from him where he's held. Fireflies dot his path. You get the sense this place isn't for humans.

the most frustrating thing about the nerve injury in my hand is coming up with a good idea and being unable to draw it until after a flair-up, which can take weeks or even longer to heal. I used to be able to draw for 6+ hours a day, it's really painful to lose all this creative time

the young master's troubles

Bill Hargrove, age 16, is one of the 3 teenage protagonists of the graphic novel Blue Hollow. He is mixed race, dressed in a formal sweater in slacks, but he's unkempt and off-kilter, throwing a leg over the arm of a chair with a bravado that speaks of a loss of patience. Cookie the dog stands guard at his knee. Bill is a very tired young man who is mentally unwell for a variety of reasons (ghost and/or family-related), and the illustration shows him reclined in an armchair in the library in evening, suggestively splitting the pages of a book open while looking up at you. You're not sure if what he has to say will be sarcastic or heartbreaking.

🌱 Ｊ. 𝚂𝚌𝚘𝚝𝚝 @drooliasnott.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Insides

Two boxy horizontal panels on white show weather of a certain emotional landscape:

on top: a purple thunderstorm rolls into the mountains in evening, clouds rumbling and pushing fog down into the darkening valley. The sun is a small and dying distant yellow scribble.

On the bottom: close up green-gray churning river water, peaked by foam that is just a hint yellow, a little dirtier of a river perhaps than one might like.

Though the image may stand alone, the origin of the piece is actually the brooding personality of teen delinquent Onion Pendergrass. He is the main protagonist of the graphic novel, Blue Hollow, and if these drawings suggest any deeper meaning, it is only that he has a melancholy disposition at the beginning of the story.

I had hoped you wouldn't say it

keep back

a character sheet of the second protagonist of the graphic novel Blue Hollow. Bill Hargrove, teen stinker and generally unfriendly recluse, leans heavily on anger and nastiness to keep people from getting too close to him, a problem his love interest Onion will do his best to rectify. Bill is in a grey hoodie and jeans, and a few full body poses show him with a magical looking blue sword. (a sword with a name, a good name, for later in the story.)

two years since I seen him there last

a rainy ramshackle house sits melting into the ground on a rainy night in the dark woods. A truck sits nearby, overrun by vines. in the foreground a boy in a camo jacket is approaching the house, accompanied by a glowing spirit somewhere between salamander and worm. Strange green microbiotic creatures dot the scene. This is a select panel from the webcomic Blue Hollow.

priestess of the house of whispers and cries

one day you'll all see your gifts have their own special meaning

the 4 main teens are featured here from the magical appalachian-gothic graphic novel Blue Hollow. Bill, 16, with curly hair, a white hoodie and a sword trapped to his belt with shoelace, leans up on his crush Onion, who is sitting on the hood of a muscle car. Onion, 15, in a camo jacket and a raven on his shoulder, looks down at Bill with a smile. Next to him on the hood of the car is Maple, 15, skinny but zippy in pink, smiling with a little bird on her knee. Below everyone seated in the drivers seat, Boone, 17, long hair and a sleeveless shirt, sticks a shoe out the window and stares into the middle distance like he's got a problem on his mind. the car sits parked on a misty road in the mountains.

It's all a circle, onion sprout. You, me, any of this? We're perennial, just like grass that grows and dies away again. Can you see how I mean?

a father and son with bare feet walk past an overgrown, open gate with a vegetable garden visible in the distance. The wood gate has a Pennsylvania-dutch hex sign representing growth and stability. The father and son are Ronnie and Onion, from the graphic novel Blue Hollow. Their relationship is something treasured. You get the sense Ronnie has the wiseness of a wizard, and the kindness of an angel, or is this only a child's perspective? Onion jogs to keep up with him, a trail of chicks following him from the chicken coop.
