hello, #webcomicday!

i draw and write this rather chill, nonlinear comic about my vampires, who are dealing with being... well, vampires.

there are two places to read it!
for an archival read: toyhou.se/3974729
for keeping up serially: www.tumblr.com/blog/lowstak...

i just don't like how it obscures the exact number of notes by splitting up the numbers, and also the muscle memory thing. it's not the extra clicks that bother me, it's that they moved the buttons and are turning the layout into twitter.

also the edit button is very hidden now which bugs me a lot

gosh i love your linework

here are some of my other ocs because they deserve some spotlight also <3

i could honestly go on and on, but i will stop the thread here i think. there is so much

ᛋᚾᚢᛒᛅᛏ🦇🏳️‍⚧️ @sn0wbat.bsky.social · 12d

AND THEN THERE'S THE WAY I DO IT IN MY COMICS.
it's all pure ballpoint pen, baybeeee

you already sort of got a taste of it in the stuff above, but yeah a lot of my comics look like this. not always, but often. read my comic.

a grid of comic page thumbnails, as seen on toyhouse, where it's hosted.

read my stuff :3

rune!!

(yeah that's right, i'm just gonna make a post for each main vampire because. man, just look at these. i don't have a singular rendering style and i just love how it all turns out anyway)

okay four images is really not enough, i have many characters with different lengths and textures. also my art and shading style varies WILDLY.

so i'm just gonna make this a thread.
here's bat :3

🤝🤝

my original penguin is now only available on my pc, as my phone has changed after the game closed and i didn't figure out how to transfer the penguin file on mobile 😩

ᛋᚾᚢᛒᛅᛏ🦇🏳️‍⚧️ @sn0wbat.bsky.social · 13d

i heard they were planning on doing longer episodes if the pilot does get picked up!

and i really hope it gets picked up. i really truly do

ᛋᚾᚢᛒᛅᛏ🦇🏳️‍⚧️ @sn0wbat.bsky.social · 15d

thing is, in case you didn't know me in my teens, i was a huge homestuck nerd. it was a major special interest. for years.

i'll just leave it at that hahaha

ᛋᚾᚢᛒᛅᛏ🦇🏳️‍⚧️ @sn0wbat.bsky.social · 15d

me, not too long ago: yeah sure i'll reread homestuck as it's re-releasing on its official website again. could be fun. it has been a while.

me right now: aaaaaaaa,

some of my existing ocs, specifically the vampire slayer kids, but drawn traditionally in my sketchbook, mimicking the style of homestuck sprites. this was way too fun.

Liv Lorentsen
Moon: Derse
Classpect: Rogue of Doom?

Solfrid M. Lund
Moon: Prospit
Classpect: Sylph of Hope?

Jonas Sandvik
Moon: Derse
Classpect: Prince of Life?

Leif K Olavsen (the only name compatible with the naming pattern HAH)
Moon: Prospit
Classpect: Bard of Time?

Literally just going by vibes here.

ADDITIONAL INFO: classpecting was never my strongest suit, but hey why not. also i completely forgot about strife specibi. assigning them weapons.. okay i'll just do it right here - they all get stakes. lmfao. no i think leif has a crossbow at least. but whatever. this is really all just for the sillies ok

there is text all over.
transcription:
Their names do not fit the 4+7/6 rule, but screw it. Maybe that's why their session failed LOL.
SBURB AU...
the vampires are trolls. :)
jk they're still vampires.

my dear sweet OC morten, drawn as a homestuck troll in my own style and they're doing a peace sign yay✌️

...oh god. morten is a valid troll name

What are the characters of #EverdarkWIP saying about this mysterious new trans vampire? Let's see this one priest's absolute L take on Twitter (and thank the gods for Erevan for keeping it real)

#UnhingedPit #W #A #F #LGBT

A hand-drawn fictional tweet thread. Reverend A. Moore tweets “look what the Everdark has done to our fair maidens” and attaches two pictures. Left is a very uncomfortable looking Ren pre-transition, wearing a blue dress. Right is a much more confident Ren in all his vampiric glory, wearing a black shirt and resting his hand on his face. The pictures are captioned with “saddest “woman” alive” and “certified vampiric heartthrob” respectively. Below, Erevan of Fhelune replies, “is he single? asking for a friend”

OHHH HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY

ᛋᚾᚢᛒᛅᛏ🦇🏳️‍⚧️ @sn0wbat.bsky.social · 17d

it's such a fun haircut, truly

ᛋᚾᚢᛒᛅᛏ🦇🏳️‍⚧️ @sn0wbat.bsky.social · 17d

OOOOH..... These covers are GORGEOUS.

Will they release internationally again too? I really hope so.

I know most of the series got successfully translated to Norwegian, and I read most of the books through the library as a kid, 14 years ago <3

ᛋᚾᚢᛒᛅᛏ🦇🏳️‍⚧️ @sn0wbat.bsky.social · 17d

morten, but in an ageswapped AU where they're the ancient old norse one.
as for possible names - móinn? mǫrðr? perhaps.

still very nonbinary, but certainly didn't use the same words.
