#meetthewebcomic
Recalcitrant shapeshifting lovers collecting trinkets & time against the con men, power hungry, & the shameless around them
A bit gothic, a bit droll, a fairytale filled with abstract colours & witchy spells
You can real ill fame here www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/il...

Some scrappy limited colour gouache portraits as I watch interview with the vampire (limited colour because it’s what’s left over on the palette)

The bird takes its revenge on the kings in The Thieving Magpie (1964), dir. Emanuele Luzzati and Giulio Gianini

Federico Fellini loved this film: "it makes me furious that I don't know how to draw so I could resolve my films in the same way"

Oh wow, really? Sad I missed that point. I find myself appreciating black and white comics all the more now after working so long in colour (kinda want my next one to be b&w)

This is your occasional reminder that Rose O'Neill, creator of the Kewpies, first published female cartoonist in the United States, and among the first cartoonists to build a merchandising empire on their work, turned out some absolutely baller, romantic-feeling size-difference monster art.

A Rose O'Neill pen and ink drawing, featuring a giant humanoid embracing a smaller one. It is captioned "Man and the Earth."
