Using Sophie Yanow's Gentle Comics Habit to work on a new horror comic "Tremuloides". Here is progress from days 1-6!

#GentleComicsHabit
First page of a comic in ink of a cell under roots that starts dividing until it forms an embryo to a fetus to a grown woman, all connected with roots to the dark world around them. The text says "It doesn't need blood to reproduce, only energy in the form of blood. And what better fuel than blood?"

The Power of Parasocial Grief
open.substack.com/pub/lovealek...
The Power of Parasocial Grief The grief you feel is here for a reason Befriending death With an embroidered portrait of Robin Williams Your grieve because you were changed, why deny yourself the alchemy of that grief? The person that shows you that the world is contained inside of yourself is significant.

A page with a dark blue background fading into green. There are two panels at the top of a character getting their bearings and lifting their head at the sound of a voice. At the bottom an older man sits on a log surrounded by foliage while smoking a pipe. There's a magical circle in front of him producing magenta fire that lights him. He says, "finally awake, huh? You took ages, sleeping beauty!" A black background with a red circle in the middle. Circle has a border with the repeating words "loud bark, deep bite" in the center a woman with a dog head bites down on the leg of a dog with a woman's head, who's biting down on hers. She also holds the dog by leash pulled taut around around its neck Panel 1: a lamb cowers at the shadow of a jaguar at the end of the hall Panel 2: overlaying sequence of the lamb running Panel 3: the lamb bumps into the wall Panel 4: the lamb tries to cry out as a shadow of claws come down on them Panel 5: a woman sleepily opens a door with a candle in her hand, asking "what's all this noise? Did something happen?" Page is greyscle with red accents in Ovidio's hair and the yarn that moves through the page, frames some of the panels, forms a pomegranate, and ties around Doe's hand Panel 1: Ovidio sits in front of a body covered in a sheet, text says: we shudder to think we sit in the jaws of her death, soothe ourselves against the same teeth that bit her Panel 2: someone unseen steps forward, text says: that we might unknowingly wander into the end of our lives in the same place we found the beginnings of it Panel 3: a reflection in the water of Ovidio reaching for the body and someone reaching for them, text says: the seeds of love a poor shield against a cruel hand Panel 4: Ovidio looks behind them as a hand reaches towards them, text says: that the hand we love may reach towards us in violence--

Practiced drawing noses by re-watching IWTV and quickly doing essentially gesture drawings bc I didn’t pause, just drew for as long as the nose was on screen
Dozens of quick pen sketches of notes from iwtv at many different angles

Holiday Shift
A work cart draped in a blue tablecloth carries an array of vases filled with bouquets. A dazzling array of reds, whites, pinks, oranges, greens almost entirely cover the surface. it sits in an empty hallway with a second cart lined up behind it. The walls are covered in faint handprints and the floors footprints.

back in 2022, when I’ve spent a month feverishly writing a book, I’ve made a self-portrait that just went so hard, I haven’t been able to top it since

the sword is a key item in the book, and after what I’ve painted recently, I fear sharing its name because it miiiiight spoil things…
a shadowy silhouette of a feminine profile with glasses and short curly hair, against a blurred red and black background, with a bright red sword in the middle - there’s a star at the center that emits a flare-like ray of light
