Ash in the Wind is now a member of SpiderForest collective!

That means from now on, you can read new pages every Thursday on its own website! It will always be at least one week ahead of mirrors (except for patreon 😉)

Check it out!

Neil and Lex, the main characters of my webcomic Ash in the Wind, are in a dark forest alarmed by a large purple spider dropping down on them. The spider is SpiderFriend, the mascot of SpiderForest collective!

I'm way too easily entertained bc I've been giggling at this forced perspective photo that makes it look like my cat is wearing my glasses
A photo of my cat's head in the foreground facing away from camera and my glasses resting on the coffee table immediately behind her. The angle makes it look like she's wearing a tiny pair of glasses.

Decided to highlight a few of my favorite books and zines here! A few are either out of print or have yet to properly debut 👀

ko-fi.com/cryoflower/l...
Banana in Beijing - An autobiographical comic about growing up as a Chinese American, facing internalized racism, and the common dilemma of feeling simultaneously too Chinese and too American at the same time. ko-fi.com/cryoflower/shop, use code "TYBF25" Offbrand. Part memoir, part art book, OFFBRAND is a collection of traditional sketches and accompanying commentary. Its aim is to document my emotional and artistic journey that span nearly a decade, from late high school to post-college burnout. Destroyed and Reborn. Using a sword forged of her own tears, a battered heroine must decide how to end her own suffering. This comic is an abstracted depiction of my experience living with Moral Scrupulosity OCD. Weeds of Glendale Ave. A 16-page risograph zine about city weeds that helped me rekindle my childhood passion for wildlife and nature.

New set comic con descriptors just dropped.
Ironically drawn gag comic of various “sicko” cartoonist at their indie comic con booths. Normie con go-ers in superhero cosplay look at them nervously saying “ I…I thought this was a con…”

The frieren head redraw meme is so funny bc thay face angle is my MORTAL ENEMY. I have spent YEARS trying to master it while cursing and drawing a million diagrams and construction lines and it still looks bad or I end up tweaking it to be less extreme. It is my white whale, my final boss

Autumn and Spring 🍂🌼

#aitwcomic
an illustration that is a cover for "ash in the wind" by cryoflower. it shows one of my main characters, Neil, looking back at the camera while he faces a tree with a giant eye shape on it while other trees with eyes stare at him in the background. the color palette has a lot of oranges for a fall aesthetic. a similar composition to the previous but it's my other main character, Alexis, looking back as she stands in a valley full of blue flowers as she's framed by clouds and mountains in the distance. The color palette is mostly made up of blues.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?

Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

Yikes, I'm about to sleep but when I get up tomorrow morning I'll have to see if anything like this has happened w AitW since they have promoted it a few times in the past. I don't think I'll delete my comic from there yet but I'll hold off on updating there for the time being.

Hey, so I'm probably pulling TENACITY off Globalcomix.

Globalcomix made a promotional Youtube video for TENACITY using ChatGPT to write their script for it. I did NOT give my consent to them for this and asked for the video to be taken down(which they did).

Details below ⏬️

The main character, Alexis, is standing in the center of the composition, facing away but glancing back at the camera with a sly smile. She is standing in a falley filled with blue and purple wildflowers with a large mountain range in the background.

i dont want to be in a fandom that critisizes the choices of fictional characters like they are human beings. i want to see THEORY and ANALYSIS and STORY STRUCTURE and CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!! I WANT PARALLELS AND MOTIFS AND VISUAL CUES!!! They're not REAL they are TOOLS so stop acting like they are people who made bad choices and should be punished. of course they made bad choices!!! that shit is funny and cool to watch!!

an illustration of Neil and Alexis, from my webcomic, ash in the wind, ghost hunting in a decrepit old building. They are dressed similarly to Ryan and Shane from Ghost Files.
