✨☀️ Quick Ko-Fi Catch-Up for JULY! ☕️✨

Another month of summer’s come and gone, so let’s do a little prep for August!

It’s been a little slow-going for Ko-Fi member goods this half of the year, and I’d like to pick it up in the 2nd half!

Went ahead and made a poll below to see what you’d most like to get as your monthly goods, I’d genuinely love to hear your input!

To get a jumpstart August, I’ve went ahead and opened up a new type, the Candy Box Commission! It’s a YCH-style, full-color piece, and anyone in memberships gets First Dibs! Still finishing up July’s Comms, and will have them out by the 30th! 🍫✨

Wanted to treat the Members to a little head start, and a chance to get them early! Both the Mini-Duo’s and the Candy Box Comms will open on the 30th!

You can Grab One Here! 🍦🍫

As always, there’s plenty of little odds and ends in the shop, including comics, zines and tutorials for just a couple bucks or completely free! Giving them a little look’s always appreciated!

Thank you so much for the continued support, for sticking around, and for giving me the drive to keep creating! ✨

#it feels like a century since I’ve done one of these lol #I DO want to give the members a bit more for sticking around so long #I’m just always at such a loss bc I’ve got plenty of ideas just none to narrow it down #so hope y’all’s summer has been going well! I know a lot of you are melting #I’ve been cooped up but I really should get more sun #but thank you as always for being so patient with me I know I’ve said it a million times #but I really do mean it every time I get so muddled in the thinking department and I always feel so guilty that it’s a such a hassle-#-to be so consistant when I want to but just not finding the drive or routine at times #but! I’m always noodling around and finding new stuff to draw and get excited about #Ko-Fi Shop

The cover & first page to my full-length comic! Featuring Yulis, the eclectic, punk-type driver & his corporate “rider-for-hire,” Paul Pochette. It’s been in the works for quite a bit, and though there’s a lot I would’ve liked to change or improve, I’m pretty happy with how it came out! I’ll be posting a page everyday for free, or you can buy the full thing in the shop! Thanks as always for the support!

#little boost for my widdle comic #I feel bad I kinda just dumped it and ran lol #don’t worry tho Yulis is always in the back of my head when I’m like ‘i gotta draw my boy again’#been thinking bout making a little slice of life or fashion zine w them but not sure how many people would be into it #might do it anyway just for fun lol #Yulis #Paul #Noralen #Method to the Metal #comic #webcomic

hellooo your commissions are so cute! I’m thinking about getting one once I get paid, but I was wondering if there are any kinds of characters or fandoms that you’re unwilling to draw?

Hi! Glad you like them!!

So, generally, it really just depends, mostly on the scenario and character relationships! If you have a specific idea that you’re not sure about, feel free to DM me here beforehand!

#thanks for asking!#if you’re worried a show might be too out of my wheelhouse or niche again just dm me!#I usually get back to most messages pretty quick!

Hello!! I just saw you opened the mini-duo commissions and was wondering if there were certain types of characters off-limits for those (ie: mechas, monsters, complex designs)

I'm very interested but i'm still deciding which characters to ask for haha! Have a nice day ^^

Hi!! Glad you’re interested! I’m pretty flexible type-wise, I’m used to drawing creatures and mechs, so that’s all good!

The comm style itself is pretty simple, so the overall drawing will be REALLY simplified, even if the character design itself is complex, so no worries!

Thanks for asking!

#I know I don’t draw em much now but I used to draw mechs and robots a LOT #def wanna get back into that again.#commissions #asks

Big Mini-Duo Commish Batch! 💕

#THANK U THANK U AGAIN #such a solid month I really can’t thank you enough #and I know I always say it but the variety in characters always makes it such a fun time to work on them #next batch closes on the 12th!!#commissions

#just a little sleepy sketch #he’s become my newest morning sketch subject lol #Noralen #Method to the Metal

📦🌸🛵

#wanted to get his fullbody fit #and if he has five fingers in the comics.. nuh-uh #lmao can you tell I’m bad at continuity #resisting the urge to change and add details every time I draw my characters lol #I’m sorrrryyy I like to see the progress it’s fun #Noralen #Method to the Metal

quick little Noralen sketch and some early concepts! 📦🛵🌸

#my beautiful boy I could not decide on your horns for so long lol #the whole angel-devil-on-your-shoulder design stayed relatively the same #but it went a little less creaturey to more sci-fi-ey/ mechanically #my precious little cvnty delivery boy lmao #Noralen

Aaand that’s it! For what was essentially a pilot ep, it was really a trial by fire, getting something out without overthinking. Like I said, there’s a LOT of things I would’ve liked to have of changed and fixed, but I’m glad I stuck to it and got something this long and polished out. So if you enjoyed it and would like to support more comics and projects I’ve got planned, you can grab a digital copy of it here!

Again, thank you to everyone who stuck with it, and gave it a full read, always appreciated! 💎💼💕

#I can’t tell you how often I was basically screaming at the final copy being like ‘I could’ve fixed THAT’ ‘the format is an eyesore auGH’#BUT it’s done and I have full confidence I can do an even bigger and better one now #and not take a full year procrastinating on it lol #but thank you thank you I hope you all liked it flaws and all #and hopefully it cleared up a little of what Yulis’ job is like the whole driver situation #it’s changed so many times over the year so it’s nice to just have a solid ‘here’s the deal’ little story to get it established #Method to the Metal #Yulis #Paul #Noralen
