Kobold Katastrophe!

BUT
Thankfully the assessment went well and ya girl is getting her medicine at long last

Also, I got top marks. 9/9 criteria met for inattentive, 8/9 for hyperactivity

Something I started drawing a few weeks ago because my ADHD assessment was coming up and I was terrified, and relates to something I have planned for Cloe

Never finished it cuz of menty health, felt the dialogue was clunky and also was just too anxious about the ADHD assessment

You can have this idea I got for River last night though
queer battle jacket with top scars sewn on

--- Just going through the motions, it doesn't feel like I'm really making anything substantial

and the long method just really upsets me because of how long it takes and my commission list is just eating away at my already declining mental health

Creatively, I'm really struggling. I feel like I've lost my spark and have felt this way for a few months now. Like, I'm drawing things but it's---

Maybe something that'll help get me going again is redrawing the previous pages in the new thing

I'm saying this mostly because I've found a brush that I'm vibing with and I want to move away from perfected lines and instead just something I can get out quickly, because my method takes too long rn

It's unfortunately continued to be very difficult to get any commission work done, let alone any comic work

I'm trying to figure out a bit of dialogue for the next page (still) but I think I'll be switching up the art style for something that's actually vibing with me

I wanted it as a running joke that Patches appears in unexpected places in @koboldkatastrophe.bsky.social

Life imitates art

I think of the whole band, River's become my go-to to draw? Probably because they're non-binary like me

Anyway, the whole band is pissed

Cloe has no concept of acting normal, especially around River. Her door knock is the first drum riff she learned.

Dunno why I drew this at midnight, but it finally give me an idea for what the dialogue for the next page should be

Also this is reminding me that Quinn's design needs an update before he gets revealed in the comic

Nothing big, I just have IDEAS

IT'S PRIDE MONTH AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS

... It means Kite beating themself up that they can't figure out the dialogue for the next page :')

Grab a megaphone and SHOUT

Coming up with a future plot if I get to work on this more: YEAH, ALRIGHT, AWESOME! THAT'LL BE SO SWEET AND HEARTWARMING

Brain: *Accidentally comes up with character dead name that I didn't want to ever make and will never tell anyone*

Me: FUCK

I think of the whole band, River's become my go-to to draw? Probably because they're non-binary like me

Anyway, the whole band is pissed

In the mean time though, in light of the disgusting supreme court ruling here in the UK, I want to remind folks that this is a very queer comic story written and drawn by a non-binary creator

Any denial of our existence will be met with all of our resistance

Trans rights are HUMAN. FUCKING. RIGHTS

Sorry things have been quiet here. Things have continued to be tough for me. I'm trying to get back on track, but it's very difficult between everything that's going on. I have the next page sketched, I just need to figure out some of the dialogue

Eh... Had a text exchange with mum yesterday that just made me feel a little hollow

Strikingly similar to something I had planned for Cloe and needed to work through this a little, so I drew this

Time to get my activity on Patreon back up

Posted WIPs for this week and a little extra, including a sneak peak at the next @koboldkatastrophe.bsky.social page and an enamel pin collection I've wanted to do for a while now

www.patreon.com/posts/wips-1...

Gonna flick through these and see if it'll help speed things up! :D

Every so often I've been doodling down ideas for @koboldkatastrophe.bsky.social I've had floating in my head for a long time

This is a very melancholic moment between Cloe and Quinn, finding solace in drinking away their demons in a field together

I'm a little light headed from reading this

Your friendly reminder that fascism isn't very punk

Your unfriendly reminder to get the fuck away from this comic if you support Musk's presidency and his hand puppet Trump

This Saturday, don't forget to give your kobolds a nice warm bath, surrounded by their favourite rocks <3

It's Halloween, he's wearing the black parade marching outfit

-- It's not as refined as I want it to be here because it's a patch job, but next page I'll work with it from the start. What do you think?

OKAY, ATTEMPT NO. 3 AT FIXING THE SPEECH BUBBLES

I also discovered something I really liked while working on something else and I kinda wanna give it a spin. It's not much, it's just a bit of colour variance to the surfaces of things, thought it would give these some extra texture?--

Wait, I just noticed it happened again. I think something is going on when I make the image smaller for posting. I'll check it when I get back home from the holidays.

On that note: Merry Christmas!
