an illustration for Dulceskull’s webcomic, Pink Sugar. Rocko plays a guitar in a colorful, beautiful alley while Satya, Blake, and Artemis watch and admire from a distance.

Drawing things that feel good. It's a more simple style, sort of reminds me of a children's book? Lately I have been focusing more on enjoying my creative process more than worrying about the end product. If I enjoy drawing, I will likely enjoy how it turns out.

#pinksugar #kingforaday #rocko #blake | I’ve had this funny idea of Rocko and Blake as Vic & Kellin in the “King for a Day” music video floating in my brain for a long time.

Blake from Pink Sugar knocking on the screen of a TV with text around it in an homage to a Goosebumps novel cover. The author is A.B. Dulceskull, paralleling R.L. Stein. The Goosebumps font is used for the words 'Pink Sugar' at the top, but pink instead of the usual green. There's some teaser text at the bottom that reads "Some skeletons won't stay in the closet..." and the title is, "The Movie of Memories."

#art #Goosebumps #PinkSugar #Blake | You’re in for a… ??? Very gay time.

A piece of Rocko and Artemis from Pink Sugar. Rocko is wearing the mask of the Phantom from Phantom of the Opera. They are holding Artemis by the face tenderly. Artemis is dressed as Christine and looking back longingly. The subtitle contains musical notes to indicate that it is a part of the song, with the lyrics: "Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation."

#art #PinkSugar #Rocko #Artemis | Of COURSE I was inspired by Emilie Kouatchou! As soon as I saw those Broadway photos, I knew what I had to do…

Q: What kind of music do the characters listen to? / Artemis: Twilight by boa, The Mother We Share by CHVRCHES, Fast Car by Tracy Chapman, Love Me More by Mitski, Wait a Minute! by WILLOW, and Les Fleurs by Minnie Riperton. / Rocko: God is Calling Me Back Home by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, BOOGIE by BROCKHAMPTON, Fear & Delight by The Correspodnents, Istanbul (Not Constantinople) by They Might Be Giants, Ain't No Sunshine by Will Withers, and Honky Cat by Elton John.

Continued from the question in the previous image of What kind of music do the characters listen to? but this time it's Satya and Blake. / Satya: Fuck Men by Ms. White, Potential Breakup Song by Aly & AJ, Jungle (Radio Edition) by Tash Sultana, Primadonna by MARINA, Bad Apple!! by RichaadEB and Cristina Vee, and What's Wrong by PVRIS. Blake: Sunny by Chris Montez, Love Potion No. 9 by The Clovers, Scared to Death by Jax Anderson, California Dreaming by The Mamas & The Papas, Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden, and Hello! Ma Baby by The Chordettes.

Q: How do you get in the headspace to draw? / Answer from Alex, doing a little doodle of Artemis: I actually don't really have an off switch for wanting to draw, it's sort of always my default state of being. It's like a stim, or a soothing habit. I love to work and to keep my hands busy. I do, however, super have a problem with turning the switch OFF and doing anything that isn't drawing or working. I have to make myself take breaks for my brain and my wrist, I have to convince myself that it's okay to do literally anything else ndsjfhgadfhgjafdg

Q: How long have you been drawing for? / The answer to this is stylized with a depiction of Alex at age 10 with an arrow pointing to his head that reads "Dulceskull "Lexi" Barr, Age 10, mother of 5 tamagotchis and haver of ADHD that will go undiagnosed for 15 years." The answer itself is marked up as if it's a school paper assignment given a B-. / A: OKAY SO FUNNY STORY. I have memories as early as 5 years old of drawing, such as making art of my beanie babies, and drawing stuff for my mom. HOWEVER. I have a VERY DISTINCT memory of being in fifth grade math class, and looking at the equations on the board. I started sketching an anime character in my notes. When I looked back up at the board, NOTHING ON IT MADE ANY SENSE. It was all gibberish nonsense to me. It was then that I had a single thought: "Well, this is going to be a problem for me." Internally, I decided that if my school was going to become gibberish in my brain, that I might as well use my school hours to hone down a valuable skill—like drawing Inuyasha. Years later, I graduated high school with a 2.9 GPA, straight C's, and a dream to make comics.

#art #PinkSugar #QnA | I had so much fun making little drawings for these! I really appreciate how much you all want to know about my silly little characters.

Q: have the casts designs changed a lot from the first time you drew them and can we see their first iteration and latest designs side by side? / The answer is accompanied by a before and after of both Blake and Rocko, while Satya and Artemis are in the bottom corner unchanged. The answer text reads: Blake has become softer over time, as she has been slowly healing during her journey with loved ones! Her face is a bit softer as well, and I also made her shorter. For Rocko, I slowly made them a little less skinny over time and rounded out their face a bit more. I also made their nose more prominent, a bit more similar to my Mexican gf's nose shape. (so lovely!) and I emphasized their masculinity a bit more since they're a nonbinary butch who embraces what they have. / Beneath this there are arrows pointing at Artemis and Satya that read, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" club.

Q: if each of the gang had to be painted with only 1 color, which colors would it be? / Artemis: Nice, deep gold. Blake: Bright red-pink. Satya: Soft, lively pink. Rocko: Smooth, sweet yellow.

Q: Where does the name DulceSkull come from? / A: A chibi version of Alex is providing the answer in two sections; one is the speech bubble, the other is small text above his head. The answer is as follows: "Dulceskull" is a reference to calaveras/sugar skulls! It's a handle I came up with for the art blog I ran in high school, which was where I kept all of my art class assignments at the time. When my family moved from Arizona to Nebraska and Iowa, I was BIG MAD. My entire friend group, my universe, and my home was there! So when I had to come up with an art blog handle, I wanted something to reference familiar-ish imagery of something comforting and reminding me of very south southwest USA. I was, and still am, very inspired by the vivid colors and beautiful energy of Mexican folk art and the culture seen around southern Arizona—something I saw a lot growing up. On pottery, on murals, in homes and resaurants, it's a type of imagery I find very comforting, reassuring, and nostalgic! It reminds me of home, my friends, and my youth! / Above Alex's head, the text reads: "Someday I'd love to sell comics at a convention in Arizona!!! <3 I'll go back to Eegee's and Beekman's..."

Q: What is Rocko's tattoo? (full body one not throat/neck one) / Q: What's Rocko's tattoo that you had to sensor? / The answer is accompanied by drawings of Rocko. / A: They're snake scales! With snake heads between their thumb/index fingers. I should figure out a more official texture/concept though... I'm working on it >_>. As for the censored tattoo, there's a drawing of a heart with the word 'BIKE' written on it, and it says, "It's this but imagine an English slur word for Lesbian." It also mentions in smaller text, "I have to censor it or Webtoon will get mad... ;__;"

#art #QnA #PinkSugar | I love answering these!! Y’all are so fun !

Q: Why did you go along with creating a polyamorous WEBTOON? As a polyamorous person, it's exciting to see some representation and hope for more books/other media like it. / Answer from Alex: When I first started writing it, Pink Sugar was a very different piece of media! Originally, Satya and Blake were going to end up together at the end, Rocko was going to be reunited with a long-lost lover, and Artemis was going to [redacted]. Originally, Artemis and Rocko weren't even going to join Blake and Satya for the trip! They were going to stay behind. But by the time I got to drawing them together, I realized I didn't want to separate them. I saw how much readers loved Rocko and Artemis, as well as everyone together as a group, and I decided that was what I wanted from them. A group of friends who eventually fall in love. As a polyamorous person myself, I realized I could have the best of both worlds! I could still have my slowburn romance, and make something that is a little different from what you might find elsewhere. If I can make something that scratches a specific itch of yours, something that's fun to read, and something that is a queer comfort media, then I have accomplished what I want Pink Sugar to be for myself and for you!

Q: Which of the group would win a tickle fight? 2: Who be the first to lose one? / The answer features Satya looming over the rest with an arrow pointing to her that reads 'Pervert instigator.' The other three are in chibi form, with a little arrow pointing to Artemis that reads 'loser'.

Q: What program + what brushes do you typically use to draw? / A: A picture of Clip Studio Paint's logo with the Simplex Soft Brush, Simplex Heavy Brush, Complex Brush 0.1, and SU-Cream Pencil shown. It's pointing to a CSP asset called "UPDATED* Soft | Heavy" by xenomorphius in the Material Catalog section, and is free. Beneath that, Alex mentions "But also!!! The first 15-ish pages of Pink Sugar were drawn on Procreate!"

Q: What's everyone's ideal type? What are their MBTIs? Thank you for making this comic, it's one of my favorites. / There's a little arrow pointing to the last sentence that reads, "Thank you so much omg ;_; <3 - Alex." / Satya: Likes people who are upfront and initiate, but give her personal space and don't smother her. Prefers horoscopes for her pseudoscience. / Blake: Likes patience, enthusiasm, and clear communication. Loves to feel trusted. ENFP. / Artemis: Likes people who ask her about her interests and hobbies, someone who is sure of their love for her, and doesn't mind making it obvious. INTP. / Rocko: Likes someone who wants to share hobbies and experiences, someone to try new things with. An absolute sucker for being needed. INFJ.

#art #QnA #PinkSugar | Answering more of y’alls questions from the Season 2 finale! And here’s your friendly reminder that our Book 2 kickstarter is still going strong! https://kickstarter.dulceskull.com/

Q: Can we know their pronouns, sexuality, and gender? / Artemis: she/her. Femme, pan with a sapphic lean, cis woman. Blake: she/her (for now). Butch lesbian currently going through some gender stuff in canon. Rocko: They/Them. Butch lesbian, nonbinary, transfem. Satya: She/Her (but would also love neopronouns like fae/faer). Femme, bi, trans woman.

Q: How are talents or blessing/powers decided? Does everyone in the afterlife have a power? Is there a sort of higher power that will punish you if you misuse it? Or are all bets off in hell? / Answer from Alex: This is actually a lot of stuff we are going to cover in the third act that I'm writing currently! I won't go fully into everything so that the comic has a chance to explain, but I will say: Blessings are decided based off of what Baphomet has seen of your life, and believes will help you heal in the afterlife. While rare, there is a forced turbo-death (the void, a neutral state of undoing) that particularly violent or ill-willed souls can receive. It's very rare though, and is the final option. Also! I feel it's worth mentioning that this is NOT HELL. It is the afterlife! I promise I am not being pedantic, this is actually important to the lore!

Q: What are the characters' favorite animals and/or insects? / Artemis: Pangolins! Satya: Wolf, tiger, or dog. Blake: Panda. Rocko: Tarantula :)

Q: How do you pick out the amazing music? Where is your inspiration come from? :) / Q: How do you choose the music for the episodes? / Answer from Alex: I'm so happy you asked! And I'm so so happy to know that you listen to the songs while you read! I grew up listening to a lot of 80's music in the car with my mom on the way to yard sales, so most of my favorite music is from the 60's to the 80's. Whenever I go driving, I pop on a playlist of songs for each act, and I imagine super epic awesome AMV scenarios to them in order to get ideas for each book! So by the time an episode is published, I like to suggest the song that I was listening to when I thought of the idea. I feel like it's a fun way to share music and set up a vibe! And maybe you'll find a new fun tune through it! ;_; <3

#art #QnA #PinkSugar | Thank you so much those of you who ask me such fun questions for my Season 2 QnA!

Rocko from Pink Sugar dressed as the Grave Robber from REPO: The Genetic Opera. In their speech bubble, they're saying, "Very cool argument, however, did you know that estradiol comes in a little glass vial?"

The same text and image as the previous, only cropped from the waist up and designed like a screencap with VHS effect lines on it.

Four panels, one large on the left and three on the right. The large one on the left is of Satya holding up a shirt while wearing pajamas (booty shorts and a crop top). She's saying, "Aww, how cute! this looks just like a shirt I had as a kid! Can I try it on, Blake?" The second frame is of Blake giving a thumbs up, smiling, and saying, "Go for it!" The third panel is of Satya wearing the shirt and some pants now, with both her and Blake having "..." speech bubbles and arrows pointing to Satya's tits, hips + ass, and legs 4 days. The fourth panel is Satya on her hands and knees in faux-despair, saying, "I can't boymode anymore even if I tried!!!"

#art #Satya #Blake #PinkSugar | When the HRT hits!!! Patreons saw this early over at https://www.patreon.com/dulceskull

Five panels. The largest is Satya, stretching, wearing a Pansy Division band crop top and a pair of pajama shorts. Since she's stretching, her girldick has poked out the bottom a bit. The other panels are along the right side; first as a zoom-in of Satya's pit hair, the second of her happy trail, the third of her clitty peaking out, and the fourth of Blake. Blake's panel has the lesbian pride flag as the background and she's blushing profusely because she's just realized she's a chaser freak.
