I finally finished him after a break.
The colours are bright and vibrant so when it’s on a wall it hits you in the face which is exactly how I wanted it to be.
Hope you like it as much as I do, if not then bugger off I’m happy regardless πŸ˜‚

A photo of a mixed media (ink pen and washi tape, though primarily ink pen) of a muscular anthro wolf character with a hunched back, micro-waist, short fluffy tail, and large claws. His face is in a snarl but his hand is raising up his little silver scarf, almost like he's happily showing it to you.

I have no idea how I forgot to share this boy. He wants you to check out his scarf!

SWCDs are incredibly important agencies/organizations

We're lucky here in Eugene that the UWSWCD has a tax base, it enables them to collaborate with other groups that need the kinds of resources that an agency can bring to bear (Holiday fire recovery through PWP is a recent example)

A five panel comic of Gabriel, a skinny Filipino person with short curly dark brown hair and freckle-like pigmented skin, wearing a green shirt and probably no underwear. In the first panel, he's pacing with a frustrated expression in front of his bed, with a stuffed penguin on it. Inner monologue is behind him, drawn over a vibrant yellow and orange background, showing glimpses of his thoughts like "ASPD diagnosis...mean for me and my family? My baby sister... These episodes forever?? Now one will trust me...even Nico. Will my parents call the cops on me again?" Some Cebuano and Tagalog phrases are interwoven into it too. In the second panel, Gabriel is pacing the opposite direction, hands gripping his hair as his stress increases. The monologue includes "I blow up... Forbid from even having kids? They locked me in here...back in juvie. Fuck. I'm not a sociopath... Expected he would make me violent too. Be better than this, has to be something...help me not destroy my life." Then, the comic jumps to Gabriel sitting and googling "ASPD support." But the articles he scrolls through are about "What is a sociopath" and "7 ways to cope with someone who has ASPD." It doesn't get better as he googles ASPD and dating, with articles like "Living with a person with ASPD" and "Coping with Sociopaths" and "Dating a Sociopath: What to be aware of." Finally, a "People also ask" section shows defeating text like "Can people with ASPD feel joy?" and "Can people with ASPD love?". Finally, Gabriel gives up and flops dramatically, face first, onto his bed, throwing his phone to the side. A large angry and defeated UGHHH! effect his behind him.

"Newly diagnosed"

A mini comic about baby 18-year-old #Gabriel getting his ASPD diagnosis (after a chaotic childhood) and panicking about love, family, and being a decent person. Google didn't helpβ€”all that came up was stigma.

I think I'd argue that Malcom Reynolds fits the 'lovable loser' archetype as well. Fought for the losing side, regularly gets the candy beat out of him, and usually only really succeeds because of the found family and his utter faith in them. A twist on the Roguish Captain type.

Super agree with this. And not just the joke-joke-hit, but the holding emotional tension long enough to become uncomfortable, and then snapping it with something more cathartic. Not always a joke, either.

The Body is one of the best episodes of teevee ever.

As much as folks might not want to believe it, artists who sell their work cannot survive exclusively on platforms that cater to primarily other artists. The Circulating The Same Five Dollarsℒ️ model can't feed us or pay bills for long. We need places where we can be seen and discovered.
