i am VERY excited to announce that i am now represented by the lovely @jenazantian.bsky.social of azantian literary agency!! 😃💖

please feel free to direct any projects you have me in mind for her way!

(also, new fairy art attached as a celebration, yay! 🥳)

A colorful illustration of a fat, disabled, dark-skinned Black dragonfly fairy with Crouzon Syndrome; her purple gradient hair is braided back, and she looks back over her shoulder directly at the viewer with big beautiful eyes. Her wings are iridescent. She wades in a pool of water filled with water lily pads and framed by a variety of luscious plants in various shades of green. A dragonfly perches nearby on a fantastically large leaf of a plant, and tadpoles swim near the fairy in the foreground. The scene is serene and inviting.

A colorful illustration of a disabled person resting in a clearing of a forest on a rainy day, enjoying a cup of tea under the outstretched wing of a golden griffin taking a nap behind the person. A starry quilt covers its paws ever so slightly. The person pats a cat-sized roly poly bug sitting next to them on the log. Their cane rests on their backpack next to them as if they just set it down. In the foreground, a beetle lifts its legs to the sky as if ready to take flight.

Page two for the comic titled A Long Eviction. The color palette is of varying shades of purple with pops of white and yellow. The background is a very dark purple, almost black.

Panel one: Jessi stands surrounded by speech bubbles that press up against them from every angle, each filled with negative comments about Jessi. Text reads, "A lot of things seem to confirm my worst suspicions. The text in the speech bubbles read, "You just want attention. You just want money. You don't care. You're just too sensitive. Don't ever talk to MY family again, bitch. You're the only one who ever has a problem. Autistic people are fucking evil, man. I'm not being defensive, you're just being really aggressive. Lazy. You're such an asshole. Mean. You're unreasonable. You look scary when you don't smile. You're so rude." Jessi presses their hands to their ears to block them out.

Panel two: Jessi struggles to slam a door closed on the speech bubbles. Text above reads, "I do my best to..."

Panel three: Text continues, "...block out these words...." Jessi is in a room with their eyes closed and headphones covering their ears. In the background, the knob wriggles as if something is trying to enter.

Panel four: The text finishes, "...but...." An ominous figure opens the door with a creak and stares inside, their eyes glowing yellow as they stare.

A blue and white comic cover with pops of pink. A child's figure with a human body and a lamb's head is dragged through the snow by their foot. They have a slit throat and the blood from their wound streaks the snowy path carved by their limp body. Footsteps appear in the snow next to them, with drops of blood spattered around from the hand seen dragging the body. In a bold font, the word "Burden" appears in white against a dark blue background with the author name underneath.

yeah ! i made a custom brush tip of two dots with my regular inking brush. then in the brush tip section for angle, i turned on direction of line so the brush tip stamp rotates with my line however i draw it. i used it to draw things like the chain link fence so i can get a consistent wire

okay hehe i was afraid inking comics with this brush would get me too bogged down in the details and take forever bc. thats kind of been the illustration experience lol but the brush can draw sooo fast and it feels good to go loose with it too i inked a whole page from thumbnails in like. an hour !!

Jane was in high school when she lost her best friend Nat, but Nat was not the only one to go missing. Beset by Nat's ghost, Jane is the only one left to put the pieces together and figure out what actually happened all those years ago. But does she really want to know? #WebcomicDay
