This thing keeps getting longer and longer and now this is only the first half❤️

Can you draw Caine making brownies and accidently burnt it.

He overslept :(

Caine and Gangle go outside and touch grass. I was thinkin too hard about their Parallels as self-destructive “failed” artists and this was the result.

Brad Bird once said that you can’t create the illusion of life if you haven’t actually lived one, and that’s a line I think about a lot around the Traumatizing Digital Circus. This comic was inspired by: the purpose of making your own art in a world where AI image generators can churn out endless content for you, the way 3D software makes it easy to create infinite spaces but hard to capture authentic hand-drawn human touches, the way all my college art teachers were skeptical of the students’ desire to make anime-inspired stylized 3D visuals right up until it became the new trend in the animation industry—- and how easy it is to get so lost in the technical aspects of art & the consequences of failure that you lose sight of what art is even supposed to be for.

ummm, well he's unmelted?

idk how to rlly start w this but um. ive been struggling to feed myself everyday. im back living w my verbally/emotionlly abusive father in the house where i experienced most of my abuse as a preteen/teenager and its causing me near constant triggers. getting thru every day has been a battle. i still havent found a job and theyre giving me until october 1st to find one thats full time w benefits, or theyre kicking me out. im completely broke, and have been frequently been skipping meals since im "not allowed" to go downstairs or eat between 9pm and 8am since the smallest noise or the smell of any food wakes up my stepmom whos been almost just as been almost as bad as my dad is. ive lost a significant amount of weight in the just 2 months since ive been back here. theres multiple cameras in and outside of the house and my every single move is questioned constantly, so ive been isolating in my room most of the time. ive been completely financially cut off by my family and my only irl friend that could help out has moved 3 hours away. i could go on and on abt the shit ive been dealing with in the recent weeks.
