So... I know I’m late but I finally started watching Gravity Falls
And I freaking love Bill Cipher
Also he’s easy and fun to draw
Yay new art tags!
My dog Nala likes to watch me eat yogurt because my mom and I give her the container when we're done
Easy cleanup for recycling! (ノ´ヮ´)ノ*:・゚
Bonus Kitty Pic of Simba being cute in the background
I started taking requests on Homestuck Amino I’m already having a lot of fun ^-^
This moment in the newest chapter made me realize one of things I love about the Nijigasaki girls that we just didnt have with Aquors or μ's: the fact that they're a group of primarily Solo Idols makes every performance a sort of competition and motivation for all of them to get better. And it's not even a hostile competition (except maybe Kasumi, that girl gets fired up like a tiny dog thinking it's big), they genuinely love the other member's performances and want to see them succeed too.
I know with the other two groups we had Saint Snow and A-Rise to be rivals, but this just doesn't feel the same. We didn't really get to see them grow like we do with everyone in Nijigasaki.
Idk maybe I'm the only one who feels this way.
God I don't know how I didn't think of this before today but damn if this isn't fun
Doodle is of myself and I made it just for this joke
Totally the best use of my time and not time that should be spent on my comic, ugh I'm such a procrastinator....
So I just took like an hour to think up and draw the chapter page for chapter two of my comic
Meaning that along with the one page intro, chapter one is complete
So i ask you all:
Should i start the finishing touches to the completed chapters for release and post them?
If i keep to my own schedule (which is like around nine to 3:30 every weekday) i should get it done fairly quickly as the completed content is pages 1-6
I haven't made the cover page yet because i really need to brainstorm on that shit
I also need to think of a general series title....
gotta love that Homestuck Style
Again, to add to the idea that not all queer people are safe to be around, I used to have a trans friend who was toxic as hell
She constantly played victim and wanted the center of attention (and pity) on her and was kind of a narcissist.... i didn't learn of this until i was living with her in my parents house cos they offered to let her stay for a month or two to get on her feet
She stayed... for over half a year
She acted like i did in highschool; not wanting to do things and making poor excuses for "not being able to" and my mom basically had to do everything for her
She was like 7 years older than me!!!
We never once misgendered her, we are very accepting people (i myself am in the LGBT as a panromantic demisexual who at points in my life thought i was bi, gay, and ace, and not once did my mom think badly of me, pleasantly surprising me every time)
She at points tried to make me feel as if i didn't even know my boyfriend (now fiance) as well as she did and she'd never even met him
The breaking point for me was when she made my mom cry one day because she didn't feel womanly enough because the wig she had (that my mom lent to her btw) wasn't working for her and blamed the reason she couldn't get a new one on my mother
She couldn't even fathom why telling a 3-4 year old about gay stuff before her parents had was a bad thing to do (even worse was that it was our family friends daughter)
We were constantly walking on eggshells in our own house and i still feel guilty about those 6-7 months because if I wasn't friends with and told my parents about her situation, then maybe it wouldn't have happened
Concrete, 100% effective way to tell if someone doesn’t belong in a LGBT+/queer space:
They openly and actively hate/ want to hurt the people in that space
Decided to doodle my favorite Keroro Platoon Trio To be honest id ship these three together Id call it GiDoKu If you want any other doodles of Keroro Gunso frogs, dont be afraid to let me know in my ask box!
As a comic artist with ADHD and major procrastination issues, I felt this
I keep making plans to stick with a really reasonable schedule and I just kinda... don't?
Also anxiety and the overwhelming feeling of inferior art and story writing
But I still love drawing and the characters and stories I make, so I'll just keep pushing ahead
hey! i’m kicking off the #ADHDInvasion hashtag for adhd awareness month with a comic about CONSEQUENCES, and how my lifelong failure to react to them has been a huge source of frustration for me and for the ppl in my life who rely on me. even worse, it makes me seem apathetic or careless to others, when in reality it weighs really heavily on me - i just struggle to show it.
the best way i’ve found to deal with this is accepting that shame-based motivation DOES NOT WORK AT ALL for me (which is hard to do, when it’s all that’s been modeled for you by parents/educators/bosses) and try to replace fear/shame based consequences with positive outcomes: i.e. instead of “everyone will be so disappointed in me if i don’t do this,” sometimes it’s more helpful to think “if i do this on time, i’ll feel so relieved, and everyone will be happy that i pulled through.”
check out the roster here and make sure you don’t miss the comics from all the other artists participating!
Hi, I'm Illy the Mad Artist! I love art, writing, and the characters and stories I make. I have anxiety, and I really would like to get as many opinions and critiques as possible, so please, PLEASE, ask me if you are going to post my work on other sites, and PLEASE credit if you do. The work I do is VERY important to me, and I want to share this with you guys. I don't really like reblogging things, so pretty much all of my posts are my stuff. I will accept critiques, however I will not accept hate (they are two completely different things). Please be kind, and if you wanna talk about or ask me anything, I'm pretty open most of the time. ^-^
