drawing comics for fun | https://kika.straw.page | 22
despite the times when i want to rip my hair out in frustration, i love how doing comics and drawing ocs and combining these two challenge me to draw out of my comfort zone. like wheeeeeew its a struggle every time! but the satisfaction once something turns out like i wanted it to!
mannn visualizing sequential actions for comics is so hard....literally sitting w my eyes closed and creating a movie in my head to try and come up with different angles, poses and perspectives for an interesting composition
I promise I'm working on this thang it just keeps growing and growing (5.2K and counting) so have another snippet to tide you over!!! 🌀🐺🌀 [ #trigun ][ #vashwood ][ #vashthestampede ]

temperature has finally dropped past +32 degrees today, listening to boygenius and drawing with august breeze flowing through the windows...this is what life is about sometimes

🇵🇸 Caleb 𓇼 ⋆｡˚ 𓆝⋆｡˚ 𓇼 🏳️⚧️@littlestpersimmon.bsky.social · 2w agoCurrently losing my mind bc I dont know how to deal with my aging parents bc we live in the global south. We dont have any facilities that is comparable even 20% of what americans are used to. But if i dont step up theyll die, and i dont want that. Idk I just feel so alone and helpless
my fav stage of comic making is staring at first drafts/layouts and trying to convince yourself that all of it will start making sense eventually and you’re not crazy (+ 197373 completely empty pages that will stay empty until very last minute)
ferry delayed by 3 hours this morning, flight being delayed for..an unknown amount of time now but. there are still nice things around (even in the stuffy, hot airport lounge)
i feel very emotional sharing this, i started working on it a few weeks ago when i couldn’t sleep and was reading articles about spring tides (although these ocs kinda spawned in my head many many months ago) and this is the first time i’ve finished (a short one but!) an original comic!

#oc for the past few months i’ve been working on „syzygy“ - a sapphic dark fantasy comic full of weird prophecies, dreams and rituals. its about quasar, a knightess, who keeps seeing a woman in her dreams and becomes infatuated with her
i just really want people to know that if your work has value to you then it deserves to exist and you deserve to be proud of what you've made. It culture shocks me a bit that the english speaking indie comic world seemingly cares about what fair you get into or what publisher picks you up
