I did Hourly Comics day this year (posting mostly on Instagram for an hour-by-hour play-by-play!), and am finally getting around to archiving it. So here it is for the Tumblr friends!

It was a... rather mundane day, but it was fun to get to do this for the second time around (and traditionally, at that!).

Bonus:

Happy 2024, it’s art summary time!

And here's another page from “Out of Your Shell”, my senior thesis from earlier this year!

this one was... crazy to work on. so much so that I did an entirely separate illustration prior to working on the comic to figure out the logic of this composition.

spring break begins… anticlimatically ☀️ 🌊

OKAY so unless you’ve been around the IRL block, there’s a very good chance you’re asking, “Lily, what’s this!?” so let me answer that question for you: this is a snippet of the first page of my much-talked-about-but-never-shared senior thesis, “Out of Your Shell”!

This was a 32-page comic I visdev’d, wrote, and illustrated between October of last year and April of this year, following Toni, an anxiety-wracked bio student and aspiring artist as they begrudgingly agree to go on a last minute spring break trip with the rest of their class. Contemplations about existing as an artist in today’s world, internalizations of the sweeping Oregon coast, and other college shenanigans ensue.

I won’t be sharing the entire thing on here (I’m still debating when/how I’m gonna release the comic in its full capacity), but it feels remiss not to share it given it took up so much of the past year of my life. So I’ll be posting some of my favorite panels/spreads, along with some developmental material- this panel in particular had a very early concept sketch attached to it! Sometimes the images just come into your head and stick there forever lol.

it’s bryant and he’s got that morose look in his eyes. what’s new.
