I don't really know how to introduce myself lol

I make a horror-comedy #webcomic called "The Monster At My Door", but I'm also obsessed with making fun of Shadow the Hedgehog.

My brand is inconsistent, and I am cringe, but I am free.

Festivals are definitely not for me. I get so disoriented. But this woman is a powerhouse and I can't believe I got to experience her music live 🪦

Had to confront how much I love women

Originally Victor had a younger sister but I decided his and his family's lives needed to be more miserable, so he's an only child 😭

It may be too soon to say this but spending hours on a new farm in Stardew Valley may have helped my brain recover from the tension headaches 😅

This is why, more and more, I just can't muster up any desire to be a success in the mainstream art world. They want AI to make "content" for people who don't care.

I care about my art, and I want to give it to an audience who cares.

An audience i like and respect.

comic books are a creative storytelling medium where intention is necessary

comics cannot be read “passively” and require intuitive thought to create and to read. comics don’t operate in a space where people want brief summaries. they exist as snapshots of stories to become fully invested in

And I'm sure it won't have any unintended consequences

💐 RUNNING WILD UPDATE ‼️

Emily prepares to meet Erie and the others!

COMIC LINKS: linktr.ee/sheisawanted...

#webcomic #webcomicupdate #webcomics #comics #runningwildcomic

Two panels from the recent Running Wild page
Panel 1: Emily tugs on Redford’s shirt and says “Reddy, are you sure they’ll like me?”. Redford: “You’re not being serious, right?” She says “You know I don’t have a lot of friends.”
Panel 2: Redford looks back at Emily, most of his face obscured: “Emmy, you are the sun everywhere you go. I promise you. They will love you.”

A screenshot from procreate of an illustration of a stitched up zombie girl. She has blue skin and dark blue hair. She's very pretty for a zombie. She appears to be holding another zombie.

Me being too lazy to change my Tapas profile picture is the equivalent of keeping the Christmas lights up for a full year

It's probably my anxiety because I am a baby and I don't like traveling alone

Maya Mourning @mayamourning.com · 2d

Told myself I'd take a nap before having to get on the train past midnight but I'm wired 😭

I love drawing on the iPad Pro but it could be because I always preferred drawing in a sketchbook (i dont feel comfortable drawing on big tablets or paper).

I honestly wouldn't draw as much as I do if it weren't so easy to take it to work, travel or just sit in my bed and draw.

This class is OVER and now I get to go see Chappell Roan.

Didn't study for my final and rushed through it because I've been suffering from chronic headaches for days

But I got an 80% so I'm SATISFIED

Lol YEAH I've been feeling like 90% of my problem is social media. I might have to hide my phone somewhere 😅

I'm gonna be out of town for the rest of the week so I'm hoping having a quiet hotel room and seeing live music with friends might heal my brain a bit 😭

Narrative haunter

Illustration of Helen's OC Aiko staring at the viewer with her eyes glowing in the dark, drawn with dark colors. The title is a reference to how, in the comic she's from, she's haunting the narrative.

Victor HATES lying because that’s what his dad does for a *~living~*. By proxy, he has to keep up the lies. Needless to say, Leo immediately clocks him as somebody who actively lies to himself.

(I drew over this panel because I saw an opportunity for a meme)

#webcomic #oc

An edited version of a panel from the webcomic The Monster At My Door that includes dialogue from a popular meme. The meme dialogue originates from the show Drake and Josh. The illustration depicts two undead characters in a conversation against a muted purple background. The character in the foreground on the left looks away awkwardly as he speaks. He has purple hair and olive skin, and wears white. The character on the right points an angry finger at him, and has pale skin, dark swirly hair, and wears green. They also carry a box. Speech bubbles indicate that the character on the right speaks first, followed by the character on the left. An art bar on the left of the image indicates that this image is a screenshot from procreate.

“Are you calling me a liar?!”

“I ain’t calling you a truther.”
