I have no idea how I didn’t realize Pride was PRIDE MONTH - and instead thought it was some anime convention that you were attending. I thought maybe you were a vendor or something and just sitting there at this PrideCon drawing in the booth because you were bored. No shit this is the whole backstory I made for you in my head. I am so fucking dumb sometimes =P!

Holy shit!

Ahhh, my problematic boys up here. My problematic boys. I love this man’s wife’s problematic girls. I have a secret love of Happy Mania, even though it’s absolute trash. It’s a trash manga and I could not put enough of it into my eye holes for a while there. So for a smoosh - maybe you can do a FLCL coming up? Ehhhh? EH!?!?!?!

On Dr. Katz his son makes fun of him for having a cellphone and thinking he’d need one when he was out and about.

This is so nice! Is this pastels?

My loving sibby once told me to look around me while on a bus. Said look to the left of you, look to the right. Everyone you see is full of shit. Was a nice gesture, and I think I’ve kept that with me always =)

This is life.

Ooo, hahaha! I gotcha! a) Thank you! I am black and white by nature, and I think at certain points we have to fight our nature and when it comes to interacting with other humans this for sure is something we can find compromise with. Also, having an opinion that never shifts of grows is pretty freakin’ rough. Oh, I just meant it was outta nowhere only on account of me just making a dumb joke =P! Thank you though =)

Set em, let em be known. Evaluate offenders: ignorance, disrespect, necessity? I think they can be “soft” which I guess is sort of against the idea. I think in life we need to be flexible though. I guess this is all to say - it’s good to know yourself and your needs. You are absolutely welcome to leave spaces that oppress you. Not all oppression spheres can be ignored, and instead must be handled. Not all boundary breakers are oppressive, sometimes things must be met regardless of feelings. Sometimes people break things because they forget (a simple example is dead-naming which I think can happen with people accidentally - it’s sort of an extreme example but it’s what came to mind). Sometimes you need to meet people half-way because that’s just life. You can find a way to honor other people’s boundaries while honoring your own. Thanks for asking, although it felt like it was sort of out of left field =P!

It’s good to have boundaries =)

That’s because it’s fucking amazing tho foreals =X!

I was recommended it by a friend because I liked (LOVE) Utena. I really think you should check it out. It might hit different if you’re a bit older, but it’s a relatively short series. You can skip around if you’d like as it’s sort of broken up into three parts like Utena [introduction to powers] [pieces moving in the background] [shit hits the fan]. I rewatched bits and pieces like that recently and I found it intriguing and made a note to go back and rewatch it all at some point. I haven’t watched any new anime in years (actually I watched Miki to Dali) but I still love the “olduns.”

I hope you really get a chance to sit down and watch it because it’s really quite cute and pretty much the only anime I have ever watched that gave me Utena feels =) Cheers, and keep drawing cause your artwork is really pretty!

Lone Wolf and Cub is such a fun read =)

I had a thinky-thank on this and circled back because I had an idea sitting there in the back of my head and I couldn’t bring it to the front. It hit me just a second ago, I think Dash Shaw has dialogue but has large swaths of visual chaos and movement. You can check him out here and consider grabbing his work if you can. Outside of that, there’s surely others but I am drawing a blank. I think there are books in general that I have loved that aren’t void of dialogue but express quite a bit in their panels. Not Simple by Natsume Ono is one of those novels and just seeing the little bits of it mean quite a bit. It’s a dramatic ride though, just an fyi. Also, please consider grabbing it if you’re willing. I am baffled as to what that woman can do with line.

While this is a dialogue rich novel, Asterios Polyp was quite an amazing read. While I no longer own it, I think fondly of it (and did so even a couple of days ago). It’s just a big chunky boy, and it’s hard to keep with - so I gave my copy to a friend who loves it =)

Hope you might like any of these =)

No worries =)! Mine too. Have you seen Princess Tutu? It’s also quite good =)

Not pictured are 500 sea lions hanging out below =)

Aww, looks like official art =)!

Also, love Utena. I’ve tried to geek out with folks over it, but have never found a person to do so with all my years. It’s got some cringey bits, but I think the cringe is just a part of the show in general. Heheheh, Utena. I <3 it! Good luck drawing for Prime, whatever that is =P!

Oh, I bet you that felt so pleasing to the hand. The texture of those cabinets, and then the smoothness of a chisel tip. Actually, I am not sure if you used a chisel tip or not, but it’s just what I am imagining. I think actually a fine tip would not feel as nice, but would be quite okay. Is the white a paint pen? Was probably fun either way.

No worries, fellow friendo! Keep making good stuffs like this =)

Nah, the shading in this isn’t a mess. I FUCKING love your shading, and I swear to god if you talk shit about it again I will come to your house and braid your hair. Don’t got hair? You’re gunna get a braided wig. It’s on! Anyways, I totally am a “do I stop now, or do I keep going at this until it’s pure black because I can’t stop inking all this shit” kind of person. I get it! I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again - if you can capture the essence of whatever you’re drawing you got it. and clearly - you got it. So you done good! Don’t be mean to yourself! I just figured I would say the thing about the ear because it might help in the future. What are you gunna do? Get in a time machine and fix it? Nah. Just a little thing to tuck away for the future =)!

I love this! Idk if that’s you, or if its like someone’s sassy aunt but I feel this vibe so hard! Only thing I have to say is the hatching on the ear is kind of hard core. I mean, the ear could be in complete shadow but typically ears tend to have spaces of highlights kind of on the upper rim and the outer area. I am not sure if you catch me, I don’t know anatomy like that so this is how I have to describe it. I also think it’s brave as hell you did this whole thing with dip pen because my ass would have fifty splotches everywhere by the time I was done with something like this =)!

Cheers!

Yes, I hate the way that people in media thought they could empower women by creating absolutely moronic and attractive male characters that they could sexually harass. Like, what!? That’s not the way! I think people in general need more support because we’ve sort of nullified the way support networks used to exist.
