giving and kindly taking. that is what i want.

these are starting to getting similar to xkcd comics somewhat. only somewhat tho.

this one is veery saturated. too much so for my liking. next time imma stay away from the extreme colors again and use em sparingly. you see how in this post (the following dropdown) the light reflecting really stands out?

    That moment when you realize you are seen, you are liked and are worth it for someone. Maybe I’m reading too much into it. I had such moments recently and your comic reminded me. Your stuff is so full of the best feelings Maria.

      woah, you have a special someone? if so, im really happy for you ~

      you are not reading into things, this is indeed what i was trynna go for with this one. being cared for because someone cares for you and noticing that is a really special feeling.

        Haha, it has quite a story to it, if you’re interested:

        So many years ago I was trying to learn how to use blender, and this was the first thing I created. I thought it was so funny so I showed it to my friends, but I also didn’t even know how to render the final image in blender, so I just took a screenshot. My friends decided that he was god and I should set it as my pfp, I then changed my username to g0d and sometimes gzerod, because god was taken. Later, I started streaming on twitch (I no longer do), and gzerod was a shitty username so I decided to just change it to guy named zero, as it still references the history of everything while being memorable. And that’s how I arrived at today :)

          oh thats a really fun story! thanks for sharing it with us <3

          I looked at it earlier before sending that comment and i noticed that the faces werent flat shaded, so i assuuuuumed it was something along the lines of “my first experiments in blender” ~ and I guess I was right ~

          but again, thank you very much for sharing! thats super nice of you <3

    I really like how “homemade” and personal your comic feels. We should have a lot more art like this, just telling our personal experience and with our own style. Really liked it!

    Extreme colors are cool if you have a good palette but do not be afraid of experiment on these things!

      yea ur right, experiments are fine. i just… settled for the saturated bg very early on and kept going with it. so far i have never really decided on a color palette, but just tried putting colors until one looks right and stayed with it.

      but like - having an actual palette might be really fun too. the last coming about shushing kinda had a palette… hmm.

      anyway, thanksies to u very much, i reeeeally like the descriptor of “homemade”, thats - like - … im happy that u see it this way <3
