A person with long hair and orange eyes staring at the viewer, manhandled by two disembodied hands that are pinching their mouth open to show a grimace and black gums. The top of the drawing reads "Can you act human?"

except i don't even get a skinny puppy song playing over my "being put in the torture contraption because i didn't hit the correct questions-eye contact ratio for people to presume i was interested and engaged in others and not a conceited asshole" moment. rigged
this is becoming a passรฉ note in my circles of internet exposure but autistic socialization really is just like being in a saw trap forever
comic fury has been an amazing, indie run comic host that has lasted for 17 years for a reason. comics will help comics. at the end of the day, we have each other.
can't wait to write and draw my just-can't-fit-in showpony tv gladiator being referred to as "the duran duran one" and experiencing homophobia from interaction #1. surely the takeaway of my readers and co-writers will be that he is simply a badass heterosexual warrior

Haru from Dorohedoro in her devil body, sipping a drink through a straw.
wrapped the reread. rocked my shit. still one of my favorite things ever. desperately need to learn how to let myself reach the level of delightful indulgence q hayashida consistently manages to. the sound of the summer is haru
Ink and watercolor drawing of two rough characters. One has thick, loose black hair and is leaning onto the other from behind him, her arm looped onto his shoulder. She's pulling at his ear with her teeth and staring at the "camera." Her other hand is prodding at his cheek, and overlaid with sticky notes of different attempts of the same hand in different colors. The person in the front is leaning back against her with an air of mild irritation. He's also overlaid by different sticky note attempts at his face with different expressions. There are blotches of ink and scattered sticky notes around them, reading "the air is free. when you get there, will..."

A panel of En from Dorohedoro holding up a mushroom, saying "You think my mushroom magic is silly, don't you. You have no idea how terrifying it really is."
rereading dorohedoro for the first time in years and i can Feel something shifting inside me

Happy 30th Anniversary to Mamoru Oshiiโs Ghost in the Shell
still slow going but very excited for this year creatively. i've had a lot of important realizations pertaining to what i want to do and how to actually get there. avert your eyes while i knock on this wood hard enough to dent either it OR myself
A rough traditional ink doodle of a character scowling at the camera, other arm leaning against the panel itself jutting inward. She has a weathered face screwed into a scowl, nose scrunched, with a key between her teeth. Her arms are muscular and scarred, and she's wearing a ratty tank top.
last scowl of XX25
actually plausibly could hit my long-failed "THIS year i'll start/make a comic" plan in 2026. huh

Q Hayashida
it might've taken 20 years but i'm finally figuring out how to use sketchbooks and it turns out it does just boil down to "just start slapping shit in there" (in this case a full meter of duct tape)
A sharpie drawing with a duct tape frame of an older, grizzled butch reclining on a beat up bar couch with their boots on the table.

A black and white digital drawing of a middle-aged person with long black hair and black lipstick smoking. They're scowling at something off-drawing, scarred muscular arm folded over their knee. There's a purple accent behind them.

very rough 2023 wip reel. still trying to get back on drawing consistently in the first place but my god i miss animating
A mostly traditional black marker drawing of a sharp-angled, muscular character scowling at something off-screen, rigidly holding onto her leg. She has thick, somewhat curly black hair down to her neck, haphazard blast scars and a phalloplasty scar.
false start #2
A person squatting down with a panel of a wolf overlaid over their head. In the background, hands glad in surgical gloves pry open an eye that could be either a human's or a wolf's. Text boxes haphazardly label different parts of the person's body in finnish, with statements like "knuckles tight for no reason - should we call someone?" "shoulders sit incorrectly: a threat display".

my little green painting, 2024
The cover for "Marrow and Other Stories," a collection of short comics by Sloane Hong. The title is accompanied by an illustration of a pair of hands with too many fingers, intertwined and filled with intravenous cannulas.
An assortment of 3 pages from different comics. First is of a spacecraft swallowing some kind of barbed asteroid as a siren blares over the speakers and 3 pairs of feet rush through its claustrophobic, pressurised halls. The second is a continuation of the first. A woman peeks out from inside a room as the 3 people run by to ask what's happening. "What's going on?" "What do you think is going on? It's the moment of truth! We found it!" "We fucking found it!" "We... We found it??" Third is a page from a different comic. Outside an observatory, a man leans over the door of a parked car, trying to comfort a woman ugly-crying, freaking out at the wheel. She wipes her tears away and pretends to be fine as the man looks on in concern.
3 illustrations side by side. The first is of an old man, framed inside an aged and toothless maw as ghosts spew forth from within. He clutches a tooth in his hands while a monkey, perched upon his back, points at the displaced pearl. The second is an illustration of a girl wearing countless wires and indiscernible technology. Her glasses are askew, hair frayed and sweat drips from her face yet she wears a smile. The third is single-page comic of a girl dancing. It begins with her hands raised high above her head, serenity painted across her face. She slowly brings them down and pulls her elbows back behind her as she takes a deep breath before letting out an explosive push.
