Despite thinking some of my OCs would absolutely draw in people who are attracted to them, I don't feel comfortable with people crushing on my OCs. I put some aspect of myself (traits, ideas, experiences, or even what I hate) into my OCs. They're extensions of myself. Even the idea feels invasive.

Oh, I can also see people ogling over Pablo from #growingpains1994. He's a very tall man with eyebags who never smiles but is by no means a bad person. He's constantly so overdressed for his job as a high school teacher. He needs therapy. He's multilingual.

Most definitely Walter from #oathandcreed. He's a super charismatic and confident rockstar in the '80s. He's got it all down. He's even the lead singer and main frontman of the band.
Ollie comes in second, then probably Emily. Manuel and lastly Henry would be next. It's just their normal order.

#wip art of my #oc Renee's house from #growingpains1994. This is perspective practice, which I sorely need if I'm going to draw a comic. It's been surprisingly fun! No background buildings because I need to map the town.

I took a detour to the edge of the city to take a picture of these amazing sundogs over Winnipeg caused by ice crystals blowing around in the sky.

#oc fact OTD: #growingpains1994 #gp1994 Erik's favourite genre is grunge and his looks fit the part. His second favourite genre is classical! He is a cellist and thoroughly enjoys it. It's quite the juxtaposition to see his grunge teen room with Beethoven CDs in the shelf. #ocsky #octrivia #ocfact

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

#growingpains1994 trivia of the day:
Renee (protagonist) would choose a ranger class in D&D (second choice would be a fighter), but I would assign her as a paladin. #gp1994

#growingpains1994 trivia for the day is that Lucas (protagonist two) is deeply afraid of spiders. Whenever he spots a spider, he refuses to go near its location until someone else finds and kills it. This is unfortunate because he lives in Australia.

hey do you want to show appreciation to your loved ones in discord dms or other places that use markdown, but struggle with earnest vulnerability? boy howdy, look no further!

![2 panel comic titled “A Guide to Telling Your Friends How Much You Love Them” by Alex Plante
1. write a nice, vulnerable heartfelt message. struggle to hit "send" because society has dumb implied rules, and you are a COWARD.
[drawing] message that reads:
hey I just wanted to tell you that I am so glad we're friends! I'm a better person than I was before I met you, and knowing you has improved my life in every way. Thanks for always being there for me! Nothing makes me happier than dicking around and talking shit with you. I will always be there, fighting in your corner. Love you forever (or until I die) <3
2. strategically place spoiler tags. now it's funny, so you HAVE to send it, or go to jail for the crime of
"not committing to the bit" haha get cherished, losers!
[drawing] same message, but words have been redacted to make it read:
“hey just wanted to tell you that I’m a better person than you in every way. Thanks for Nothing dick shit. I will fight you forever until I die.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rd3qfi4wgintxoldjqkjtjty/bafkreie64unhvebb6d3rvxl2jpcvxp2tqnswanvt4abcsnigd2pkxc463u@jpeg)

Really need to start posting from my computer more. The only art I've posted straight from there is the Christmas tree I drew. Everything else is saved from my Tumblr and I think it shows.

Never posted this here, whoops! This is my OC Barneby in a cartoon style I tried. I started with just the pose and the remote before making him Barneby. Also took a chance to tweak his design.

Got a little caught up on where to start with a new drawing, so I drew a Christmas tree instead. Messing with the charcoal tool is really fun when I'm having a block. I also tried to shade it properly.

Yes! A few times. My most vivid one was of Barneby and Barbara (GP1994) playing a jigsaw puzzle together. They were sitting on plastic chairs with a table made for five year olds.
I've also dreamt about a realistic Lola. I wish I remembered the details of how she looked. I know her hair was cool.
