I’m strongly considering learning how to re-bind books to collect some volumes of Pumpkin Scissors. I really like the series but the covers are just not speaking to me. Pic is the Japanese cover I like but won’t get because I‘ve met the limit of books I can’t read (aka 1, and its in German)

Once upon a time, I thought mutuals were just followers who engaged regularly

I went into this trying to make a comic icon but I changed my mind part-way through for another idea. So now it’s a self-portrait from a mirror I now have placed behind my tablet which (unintentionally) faces me.

The short comic test I made for EggBug LTD. I didn’t get the position but it was a fun experience working from someone else’s script :)

(And this is my first paid comic work! Yay!) I‘ll be taking my shot with other projects to see the outcome #comics #comicartist #cartoonist

Then they surely miss them too. I’d still keep my hopes up in that case

Youtube defaulting to 144p because it has so little faith in my internet connection 🥀

Tostones X Comics @tostonesxcomics.bsky.social · Sep 4

Most likely not, the artist just might not be as into that series anymore or for the time being. I don’t imagine fan-art being the thing to reinvigorate their interest when they have new things to work on

I love this roller coaster

They pulled a hxh move, all of those are just the continents moved around so much you don’t recognize some of them. AoT just turned it upsidedown with a split in Africa (Paradis is where Madagascar would be)

People having negative karma points on their Reddit account is the funniest thing ever to me. Its not the same as having 0, someone had to actively dislike what you posted to get that number

Branded, the first in a series of four-page horror comics.

This is my first attempt at rendering a whole comic in "pure" black and white linework, without shades of gray. It's a style I've always admired but never felt strong enough to do.

Enjoy! 👻

#comics, #art, #horror, #DarkArt

A black and white comic page with three panels.

Panel 1: A bedroom, seen from above, mostly shrouded in darkness. There is a big bed, and a poster above the bed featuring a demonic band called Beelzebabes. There is a bedside table with a lamp, spreading a circle of light around it. A young woman lies curled up on the bed, clutching a pillow. A rectangle of light falls from an off-panel doorway over the bed, and the shadow of a person appears in the light.

The title of the comic: "Branded", appears in the top left corner.
The shadowy figure says "You should go outside.""

Panel 2:
Closeup of the young woman's face. She looks haggard and frightened. The rectangle of the doorframe, with the shadowy figure within it, appears behind her in the darkness.

The young woman says: "I... I can't. That..."

Panel 3:
A slightly abstract rendition of a window with venetian blinds drawn. Insects buzz in the light filtering through the blinds, and something that resembles smoke rises across the panel.

The young woman says: "That thing is still out there."

A black and white comic page with six panels.

Panel 1: A white void, in which sits a rectangular stairway framed by a low brick wall, apparently leading down underground. A crooked sign post stands next to the stairs.

Narration boxes: "It followed me from the subway station. At first, I thought it was just a beggar, but..."

Panels 2-4: In a sequence of three panels, a pale, deformed humanoid figure emerges from the darkness, its arms abnormally long, its fingers long with claw-like nails. The figure seems to twist and bend in unnatural ways, and keeps poking at its own eyelids with its nails, as if its trying to force its own eyelids open.

Narration boxes: "With every step it took, it changed. I could hear its bones snap and slot into place. And somehow, I was trapped with it. Like a bird in an oil spill."

Panel 5: The young woman, now wearing an overcoat and hat, and a long scarf sustained on the wind, clasps her face in horror. Her face and hands have been blacked out with rough pencil strokes, but the whites of her eyes can still be seen, staring in terror. Her purse is flying through the air, spilling its contents as it goes: a set of keys, a book, a pencil, a smartphone.

Narration boxes: "And something passed from it to me. I can't get rid of it."

Panel 6: A closeup of the creature's eye, being pried open by two long, cracked fingernails. The pupil in the eye resembles a twisted reflection of the young woman.

Narration boxes: "You know how smoke sticks to your collar? Or when a sick baby puts its fingers in your mouth."

A black and white comic page with six panels.

Panel 1: The young woman is peeking out her window, parting the venetian blinds with her fingers. Her face is brightly lit, and her eyes look astonished with disbelief.

Narration boxes: "Ever since then, little by little... the world has fallen apart."

Panel 2: A bizarre view of the street outside the young woman's house. A gigantic dog is being walked by a tiny person, who appears to be much farther away than the dog, despite walking in front of it. The dog is intersected by lamp posts which appear to be at different distances from the viewer, and in each section the dog is much larger than the last. The curb itself appears to be a smartphone, and a broken clock is floating among some rubble in the void.

Narration boxes: "Pieces disappear, or appear elsewhere. Things change size without moving. Nothing is the same when you look again."

Panel 3: In a white void, a deformed figure, distinct from the one we saw on the previous page, is shambling around. It is dressed in a blouse and skirt, and its neck is long, snaking away from its body, head lolling.

Narration boxes: "There are others like it, shambling about. I can see them clearly now. Maybe they were always there."

Panels 4-6: Three panels of the young woman sitting on her bed, clutching her pillow, first seen as a white silhouette over pitch black, then straight from the front, then in closeup as she turns her head toward the figure in the doorway.

The young woman says: "There is no outside anymore. My room is the only place I feel safe."
The figure in the doorway says: "You should go outside."
Irritated, the young woman says: "Weren't you listening? I said–"
The figure in the doorway interrupts: "Outside."
Now suddenly anxious, the young woman says: "What..."
The figure in the doorway interrupts, this time with a scratchy, deformed word balloon: "You should go outside."

A black and white comic page with two panels.

Panel 1: The young woman is sitting up in her bed, clutching her sheet as it wraps around her lower body. She is looking over her shoulder, toward the doorway. Concentric circles with hatched patterns inside them frame her head.

The young woman says: "M... mom?"

A word balloon at the bottom of the panel extends into the next panel, with the letters spilling out of it as if entering the same physical space as the characters themselves, spelling out the words "Go outside".

Panel 2: In a big panel, seen from the young woman's point of view, a monstrous humanoid creature emerges from the darkness, reaching its long, clawed hands toward us. Its neck is crooked, head lolling, eyes apparently clawed open, with fresh scratch wounds running down its cheeks. The mouth is open, with worm-like appendages dangling from its lips. The young woman's hand reaches into frame, fingers spread, as if trying to ward off the monster in fear.

A small box in the bottom right corner informs us that this is the end of the story. Thank you for reading!
