A drawing of Jack and Beau for bramblepaws on Artfight! Jack is an anthro african black footed cat, Beau is an anthro king cheetah. Jack is wearing an orange shirt with an egg print on the chest and light blue shorts, Beau is wearing a white top under a light blue jacket and tan pants. Beau is drinking alcohol while using his long tail to wrap around Jack’s back, a romantic gesture of sorts, though Beau is looking away trying to be a little suave about it. Jack has noticed this and is staring at the tail, blushing. They are both sitting on the floor.

Revenge for @bramble.bsky.social on #Artfight!

"I never stopped thinking about you, you know. I always had a reminder. Sandy bought me this scarf, but the one before it... I chose it thinking about how your eyes looked when you called me gay"

bittersweet candy bowl... drowning imagery present throughout the comic my beloved

I can't help but notice my boy Maishul is not in this image--

Mike, from the webcomic Bittersweet Candy Bowl, eating a Popsicle-branded snow cone while wearing green bathing suit shorts and holding a transparent blue and pink inflatable ring. He’s a grey anthropomorphic cat with green eyes.

Summer is here!!

Attack #4 of #ArtFight2025

For @bramble.bsky.social

The possum is still sitting in the trash. “Heh,” someone says from out of frame. It is a pug, who flashes a wry smile and says, “for me? every day is ‘make a terrible comic day.’” They continue to mug while the possum stares blankly from the shadows. She grabs the pug, yelling with wild eyes, “then there should be no issue with your COMPULSORY PARTICIPATION, right??? Just another day at the office???”

I have heard this joke one hundred million times and this is only the second time we’ve ever done this #makeaterriblecomicday2025

What are you wearing today?? 30 minutes, doodle your #oc wearing your outfit today!

I just came back from a Pokemon Go walk so I think my outfit doesn’t necessarily match what I usually wear! So here’s Lucy wearing what I wore outside and Mike wearing what I wear inside >8) 1 hour

A page from the webcomic Bittersweet Candy Bowl. It’s page 51 from the chapter “Eternal Flame.” Mike and Lucy are having a conversation at night in a park while it’s snowing. Panel 1 Lucy: __Sure__ you don’t wanna smack it up a bit? Mike, rubbing his eye after crying: Ugh.. I’m too drained to be angry right now. Panel 2 Mike, cricking his back: I feel like.. I was carrying something really heavy, and now.. it’s just gone. Lucy, smiling: Breakups can do that. Panel 3 Lucy, feeling the snow fall onto her hand: It’s getting pretty late, you know. Panel 4 Lucy: Do you think you’ll be okay? Mike: I dunno.. Panel 5 Mike, touching his chest with his hands, face off-sceen: It hurts.. Panel 6 Lucy, smiling: You’ve dealt with worse. Panel 7 Lucy, continuing to talk while the panel focuses on Mike staring at her as he continues to rub his eye and clean away his tears: Might feel like crap now, but one day you’re gonna look back on this and cringe. Panel 8 Lucy: “Why was I such a bitch?” “Why’d I even shed a tear for this girl!” Y’know. Mike, nervously: Heh.

A page from the webcomic Bittersweet Candy Bowl. It’s page 29 from the chapter “Back and Forth.” Panel 1 Paulo stands in the hallway holding a soda can. He grins at Mike, laughing and scratching his ear. Paulo: Hahahaha! The MAIN ROLE?! How'd a shrimp like you manage THAT?! Panel 2 Paulo: Hahahaha! Mike glares over his shoulder at Paulo from his open locker. Panel 3 Mike crosses his arms and scowls at Paulo. Mike: I could stop paying for the Blasto, you know. Paulo grins and points his thumb at his chest, still holding the soda. Paulo: You want the bike, I stomach the soda. You NEED me. Panel 4 Mike stands by his locker, frowning at Paulo. Behind him, two shadowy shapes approach. Mike: I'll save up for one instead! It's better than having to deal with your crap. Panel 5 Paulo: Oh, you're so mad. Mike looks away, frowning. Behind him, the two shadowy shapes face away from Mike. Exclamation points appear over their heads. Mike: Shut up. None of you guys take me seriously.. Panel 6 Paulo: Oh, I'm sorry, dude. Wanna talk about it? Mike smiles, looking surprised. He puts his hand back in his locker. Behind him, a shadowed figure runs away. Mike: What, really? Panel 7 Paulo: Actually, I don't give a rat's ass HAHAHAHAH Mike frowns, staring at Paulo with a hurt expression. He pulls a "MATH WORK BOOK FOR DUMMIES" from his locker. Behind Mike, dark figures approach. Panel 8 *Mike scowls and slams his locker shut. His outstretched arm inadvertently blocks Tess and Lucy as they run up behind him.* Mike: Why do I BOTHER with you, Paulo?! Panel 9 Mike looks startled as Tess and Lucy run up, looking furious. The panel darkens behind them. Panel 10 Mike stands in front of Paulo, cringing with his fur and tail puffed out. Lucy and Tess lean toward Paulo with furious expressions, their tails bristling in irritation and arms straight at their sides. Paulo stares at them without reaction, still holding his soda. Lucy and Tess: PAULO YOU MAN WHORE!!

A page from the webcomic Bittersweet Candy Bowl. It’s page 28 from the chapter “Link Play.” Mike is having a phone call with his girlfriend Sandy in his room. He’s lying on his bed. Panel 1 Sandy is talking to Mike on the phone, he sits on his bed listening carefully Sandy: Honestly, I was gonna try to keep it as a surprise, but.. Panel 2 Sandy: The way this break is turning out, I might be able to visit Roseville sometime in February? Sandy: I thought we could spend ~Valentine’s Day~ together! Panel 3 shows Mike sitting there, thinking it over, with a small surprise. But not necessarily joy. Panel 4 Mike leans back into the pillow of his bed, with a smile on his face Mike: That sounds pretty nice! Sandy: Well, don’t get TOO excited!

A page from the webcomic Bittersweet Candy Bowl. It’s page 33 from the chapter “Double Down.” Mike and Daisy are having a conversation in the school library. This is after Mike kissed Daisy on the cheek. Panel 1 Daisy stares at Mike with shock in her eyes, her face blushing brightly. Mike is looking away from her, ashamed. Daisy: What? Mike: Sorry. Panel 2 Daisy, touching her face: No, seriously, WHAT? Panel 3 Mike, turned away from Daisy, his expression not visible: I thought.. this’d make me and Sandy even now, right? If she’s gonna keep secrets, might as well have one of my own. Panel 4 Mike, looking annoyed and defeated: Ugh, that’s so dumb. Why do I want to make things fair? None of this is fair. LIFE isn’t fair. None of this matters. Panel 5 Mike, burying his face into his blue scarf: Maybe Paulo knew what he was talking about. I could have let all those girls do whatever they wanted to me. Why not if I’m just gonna get cheated on anyway. Panel 6 Mike, turning to look at Daisy: Why’d I never give you a chance? We should have dated. We could’ve— Panel 7 Daisy suddenly kisses Mike passionately on the lips, there are swirls in her eyes to show how crazy she’s being. Mike is in utter shock and blushes brightly. Panel 8 The make-out continues, as Mike wraps his arms around Daisy and they continue this absurd affair.

Digital drawing of a baby cheetah sitting next to a baby black-footed cat. Medium thickness black lineart is used, along with simple cel shading. The cheetah is looking directly at the viewer while the cat looks to his left.

Another old internet peeve I used to notice is cutesy cartoony characters representing the artist getting pushback from commenters, who think they need to make themselves “uglier” to represent the artist more. Avatar: I represent the artist! Commenter: You’re not fat or ugly enough you narcissist! So I needed to draw raccoon eyes on myself, I must depict sufficient ugliness. 2009 me had features such as raccoon eyes and messy hair, always looking sick and tired. I considered adding my mole for a while. I felt like a real liar otherwise. I thought, "I’m not remotely cute..” which resulted in drawing myself looking tired, sick, and messy. Anyway I noticed I stopped drawing my raccoon eyes recently. Turns out I stopped giving a shit! I shrug at this realisation! Maybe I just WANT to draw a cute lil cartoon me! Kinda bored of self-hatred! I say this while giving a thumbs up and a goofy cute little anime face with sparkles in the background.

While thinking about old internet pet peeves I realised that I stopped drawing myself as tired as I used to! Could it be self-esteem? Could it be laziness/not really caring for accuracy? You tell me! Either way what a weird time that was, to police people’s avatars lol

i dont ljke him

My clear and obvious favoritism has made me draw a character sheet for Beau first. Maybe Jack will earn one eventually.

i have started actually finishing comic pages now that the whole thing is sketched. here's a celebratory doodle.

Hahaha, I was thinking the same thing when I drew this -- "oh this face and outfit is so ooc but wow the blue and pink are perfect." Im so glad you like it!

silly belated birthday gift for @taeshi.bcb.cat :3

Beau.... another comic character (i am up to 120 pages sketched now wahoo)

Two cats, grey and white, floating towards each other with very loving expressions. The grey cat has green eyes and a blue scarf, he’s reaching out and resting his hands on the white cat’s waist. The white cat has blue eyes and a pink ribbon, she’s resting her hands on the grey cat’s face. They are staring into each other’s eyes, with their legs floating in the air.

Gratuitous Mucy for @bramble.bsky.social, happy belated birthday!!! 🎂
