It's good to see #MeetTheWebcomic here on Bluesky!
Currently sitting at around 130 pages, Monster Boy is a comic about the crappier sides of being a teenager, the importance of seeking solace in each other, and a bunch of neurotic weirdos.

Anyone who writes off GL/BL for the genre alone gets a judgy side-eye from me. You're skipping bangers like The Summer Hikaru Died and Bang Brave Bang Bravern because the characters aren't straight? Weak shit.
(srsly tho watch The Summer Hikaru Died and Bravern)

Since I learned about Hiveworks when I was young, right up until the news broke last year, I dreamt of creating a comic good enough to be accepted into Hiveworks. I feel like a fucking idiot for ever idolizing them the way I did.

Rushed to finish my #artvsartist2025 before the year ends in my time zone lmao
Last new year, I promised myself that I would draw for myself more often. I absolutely did not do that.
So instead, for 2026, I'm promising myself that I will just create what makes me happy. No matter what.

Everyone do your civic duty and report his gofundme
There’s a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross’s legal expenses for murdering Renee Good.
This violates GoFundMe’s Terms of Service. Everyone must report it.

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

I had the pleasure of designing a VTuber model for @couragegel.bsky.social and @pixie.maidsofengland.co.uk! I think this is the most fun I've had working on any character commission to date. It was an absolute blast, and I can't thank Courage and Pixie enough!

And I do like adding texture to lines, but still, maybe I should experiment with that more. Thanks for your help, Kit! :D

Oooh. I hadn't looked at my lines that way before. I think I tend to save completely straight lines for force and action. Even when drawing tough or solid surfaces, I worry that drawing a completely straight line would look a bit unnatural? Or like I didn't put enough effort in lol
