(I have adored your inking for aaaaages!👀)
Some feedback thoughts:
Does the link between his roles and his dreams need to be more direct (or: are all of his roles key info here? How? Similar note for murderous ex).
Also: What bridges the switch from dream to nightmare?

Mini versions 🎨

A digital pencil sketch of two young comic characters. One wears a smile, braided hair, and an oversized coat over pyjamas and rain boots. The second has short hair and wears an uncertain frown and a half-zipped slouchy hoodie.

It's cold again today 🫤

A digital illustration in the style of a pencil sketch, featuring two comic characters sitting on an overstuffed couch. The first character leans on the second's shoulder and gazes at a phone; the second has their hands tucked into their hoodie pocket. Their expressions rest between disinterested and slightly disgruntled.

I’m giving it to someone I know, so they can try out a graphics tablet for the first time. Second monitor would be a neat idea if I had the space, though!😊

Finally replacing my decade-old workhorse of a Wacom Cintiq 13HD today-- this thing saw 5 webcomics, 3 graphic novels, countless illustrations, and has an entire vortex of scratches on the screen to prove it. 🥲 Kinda sad to see it go.
