My style has always beenheavily manga-influenced. In 2016(?) it's my #OC boy band for a 90s Shoujo comic called Reckless! It was a light-hearted story about a girl who makes her twin brother, Jihn form a band #ocsky #illustration #art

This was an #oc #illustration I had long forgotten I made it. Remembering, it was to try to get into an Animation school, to show i had other styles than Anime, back then I tried to hid my Anime artstyle.

So like. Anyone else ever draw something during a dissociative episode, and then find it later and get really weirded out? Like, yes. These are my characters and this is my art style. But I couldn't have drawn that! It looks completely unfamiliar to me!

Working on more OC couples, GL, BL and het with more complex emotions and plot-related conflicts that isn't tied to romance, but on their personal struggles.

In the modern story arc, Luuta finds a young lady with a similar face as hers. The mystery lady is addressed as the River Priestess, she seems to know her. #oc #ocsky #illustration #webmanga

I started to skip 4 thumbnail/pg stage to larger half page thumbnails/pg as my draft to ink next.. really helped speed up the planning stage

From a cartoonist who writes stupidly long comics: I force myself to do a little bit every day, even if I don’t want to or feel like shit or don’t feel like I have time. Even just opening a script on my phone and writing one line. Ink one panel. Just do something

Writer friends with full time day jobs: how do you find enough time and energy to complete large scale creative projects around the edges?

My comics have visual clues of disabilities in fantasy. In 2019, I designed thE blind soul reaper who 'reads' by touching raised tablets with braille etched on, while still using his other senses. My 1st vertical comic creation #ocart #disabilityrep #webtoon #comicstrip

The fairy races in my world merges different cultures. In Chinese folklore 'Fairy' refers to magic spirits. In the Quiet Magician story; Damonte was friends with Ilana the young Huli jing or Fox fairy #oc #ocart #asianmyth #webmanga #kitsune

Getting Damonte and his cat done! working on the inks! Decide to call him; the Quiet Magician, since quiet suits him more than stoic. #Wip #ocsky #oc #webcomic #lineart

Need to wait next year if Spiderforest open application for webcomucs, will have my 2 chapters ready!

My plan: Once the Song of Luuta reaches 24 chapters to turn into 4 books, there'll be 3 other stories on my to-do list

@skimlines.bsky.social was,packing and realise, I should get your other Herder Witch vols someday, I only have vol 5

Not much updates, busy summer with house clean out! Packing my comics, zines, TCAF graphic novels

Decide not to watch Seven Havens until my Luuta comic series has more chapters out. I'm still thrilled to see Pavi and Jae's journey, they feel like the type of OCs I'd write xD

Since my OC are water nymphs, they're naturally associated with aquatic animals. Luuta's fish fins on her lower legs are based on the electric blue Acara fish #oc #ocsky

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters Shark Week starts tonight! (Don't laugh I just really like sharks 😂) So in honor of that, what aquatic animal do you associate your character with? A shark, a ray, a whale, a fish? Why? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

At a bar, Luuta with her sis, Callan & Aspen. Being a petite girl, she gets hit on by a drunk and Callan will impulsively punch him "Don't you touch her!" Then a fight starts. Aspen as her guard grabs her over the shoulder to safety. "Lets go before it gets bad!" "But.. Callan?" #OC #Ocsky #comic

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters Your characters' evening at a bar/tavern has been interrupted by a bar fight. How do they respond? Finish it quick to get back to their meal? Ignore it and casually dodge furniture? Flee? Did they start it? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

How comics actually work: some pages take an hour and some pages take eight hours and they're not always the ones you'd think. There are sometimes entire weeks taken up by research that MUST be completed before you can progress. And you also must account for several days lost to the Horrors

#WIP storyboard sketches of the Stoic Magician comic. He's a Spell instructor for Briar Rose academy (set in same universe as Luuta). Will be inking once all thumbs are done! #sketch #OC #ocsky

I prefer calling my 'hetero' leaning couples as BoyxGirl or MxF, as they're often not both straight. My guys or girls tend be Bi, pan or a trans girl paired with a different gender.

Been motivated to plan my comics and have fun with panel designs. I imagine them like animation storyboard frames, but skip out shot by shot, unless its for tension building

Feel wary whenever someone comes up to me "I have this idea for a story" and its often a big project, without much idea how much time and work it takes to complete it. Also I have my own project work work on.

Been busy putting together the short story, 2 chapters planning in progress for the Song of Luuta

#WIP (Redraw of old story) short series with adult #OC Damonte the mage & his school crush Ilana. He's getting a new hairstyle. She was friends with him before knowing. For @spiderforest.bsky.social zine fair, cover may change in final. #oc #ocsky #webcomic

My #OC story start out as a fantasy slice-of-life story to a Josei comic of the studious Damonte, to become a magic instructor runs into his old school crush; Ilana at a bar.. drunk & broken hearted. #ocsky #webmanga #ocart

Thank goodness to old comics that i can fall back when my mind needsa break from the main series, but also practice on a smaller story around 2 characters

#OC Magician's name is Damonte. In old story concept, he's a stay-home dad caring for his kid with Juno the fairy (who likes gold). His fiancee is Iiana the high lvl archer who travels for work. It was a family centered comic story from 2016

Thanks to Battan's manga writing, I'm starting to enjoy writing older teen and adult characters with messy choices. She's great at writing complicated relationships and morally gray characters.
