Oh man, I live right by Ready Comics! I've been itching to try them out, hopefully once I get my stuff together to print a sampler of Heart Hex, I'll be able to use them and report back.

The Nose Dilemma

WHOOPS, yeah, I meant without.

The Nose Dilemma

I guess it's not a dilemma so much as a question of preference, so to preface: I recently had my producer for a different comic ask why several comic panels had our MC without a nose, which, if anyone has read my webcomic, would know that I do this for stylistic purposes (mostly for comedic effect…

Have you every hired a professional to help you with your comic?

Haven't yet, but I'm most likely going to shell out some money for a Spanish translator. I'd rather get someone fluent than rely on Google Translator or my own incompetent Spanish. Everything else? Nah. I'd like to have an editor and colorist for other works I'm planning on but for Heart Hex, I d…

Why isn't there a Supernatural catagory?

For real... why isn't there? Heart Hex would fit neatly under the Supernatural category. Right now, it's hanging out in Drama. (Which, I mean... it IS a drama, but it's moreso a supernatural drama.) I know so many other comics that would benefit from it.

Do you celebrate milestones?

I did a cute drawing for reaching 1k subs, but that's about it. I don't really have time to run giveaways or do Q&As right now. :\

What are your scrapped stories?

I don't really scrap stuff, it all just floats around until it gets swallowed into a bigger story. Heart Hex is like... three different stories I've been writing over the past 15 years that never really came to fruition until I mashed them together. I have two other stories in development, one a …

New data displayed on your dash

I absolutely looooove this. Having this neat little daily trends tracker instead of figuring it out by myself is nice! The red doesn't really bother me because I tracked it pretty meticulously before and know when my view drops happen.

If you could have merchandise made of your comic what type/company would you want

I once tried making a plushie of Rosier back in high school and it turned out really cute, so I'd be down for that. I'm also a big fan of wearable merch and stickers, so those might be a thing in the future if people are ever interested. Otherwise... I'd love to do a tarot deck or something for Hea…

How did you find your favorite webcomics?

I found my favorites on accident while looking through the Raoul de Chagny tag on Tumblr before Tumblr broke its tag system. Fantomestein kept popping up and after I read it, I started branching out into other comics that Beka recommended :V My other favorites I found by going through the fresh s…

The gratefulness / happy thread

Say 1 thing, about your comics that you wanna spoil! ( fact, conspiracy, plot twist, something about your character, etc etc...)

I'm grateful for the chance people are giving me in comics, and how it's working out so far. And I'm really grateful that I'm getting married to a person I've loved for 6 years and who hasn't left even though I'm incredibly difficult to be around sometimes. He's my biggest support system and it's …

What makes you happy?

videos of birds cats my fiance that minute after you stop your workout and realize you did something good for yourself filling my house with skulls and antiques having goals to look forward to

Jun 29, '17

What songs/bands inspire you?

It depends who I'm drawing! For Heart Hex: If it's a Lee-heavy scene, I tend to go more with The Dresden Dolls, Agent Fresco, I Monster, and Aeon Fux/Guayaba. Anything that feels eerie and talks a lot about lost love or regret. If it's Teo, I tend to listen to Porter, Zoe, Motion City Soundtrack or…

Give me comic recommendations!

Yo. You would probably really like my comic, Heart Hex. We got witches, demons, cute Latinxs, various LGBT characters and some heavy subjects such as mental illness, morality, and handling death. Warning, it does get a little NSFW and gory at times, but those are always tagged. Other things you sh…

people whining on Webtoons about my update schedule (i do a page weekly) gets my goat. it's literally EVERY week. like, you should know by now that this is the schedule, you don't have to read it weekly if you don't want to!

Father's Day! SHOW ME YA DADS

You heard me. Show me the dads of your series, whether they're in the story or notably absent. Teo's dad, before he died. [image] Rosier's dad, who's ruling over his portion of hell. [image] Lee's dad, who raised Lee on his own and is now with a very nice young man named Oliver. [image] Teo, ou…

The most embarrassing thing has ever happened to you!

An ex-boyfriend and I were.... doing stuff in his car in what we thought was an empty parking lot and it turned out after we stopped and looked out the window a trucker was watching us the entire time. I was mortified. D: Alternatively, when I first started dating my fiance, I barfed all over his …

Handmade comics or on pc program?

[image] For real though, I do my comics digitally because costs of ink + paper and my limited space don't allow me to do it otherwise. I already paid for my tablet, my computer, and my programs. If I do traditional ones, it's most likely for gifts or very short comics. I do still do traditional …

What feature really makes your character?

Lee and Teo would not be the same without their noses. I looooove drawing noses, especially hooked and flat ones, so of course they would get them. [image][image]

Would you put your comic on a t-shirt?

I have an old t-shirt of my first (super embarrassingly bad) comic's characters that I used to wear ALL. THE. TIME. I wouldn't be opposed to making some shirts with my characters on it again, or for the fake band in the series.

What will you not draw?

Straight from my commission page: "What won’t you draw? Basically, any hardcore/graphic/underage/non-consensual NSFW. Mecha is a no-go. Some anthro characters I won’t be able to do, but it’s on a case-by-case basis." I also rarely do requests. I have limited time as it is to get my freelance stu…

Is clip studio paint good?

It took me a few years to get used to, only because I was so deep into SAI that I didn't want to change. I think I've been using SAI for around 7-ish years. I now use CSP for all my comic work, but SAI for all my other digital art. I have my custom brushes set up and I'm not weirded out by the way…

What do you use descriptions for

Sometimes to ask questions, other times to just give my two cents on what's going on.

When did you get the biggest increase in subscribers?

Thank you!! It means a lot to hear that. As for advertising, I added myself to the tagtracker for LGBT comics, did some Instagram ads (for very short periods of times to smaller areas), and I found the Webcomic Wanderer on Tumblr to review. I also try to consistently post on Twitter for WebcomicWe…
