Dead City One-shot: Overworking – 2

Page 2/3, the last page coming in next week! Also let’s meet JP’s little brother, Dimitr!

A little behind the scenes for y’all, Clipstudio just came out for Android and this is the first comic I’ve done using it! It’s a little overwhelming but I’m hoping to do more of these one-shots to test out a bunch of the features it has, so look forward for that.

The behind the scenes of this comic is up on Patreon for $1 if you want to see how I make comics!

Dead City One-shot: Overworking – 1

This is going to be a 3 page comic spread out throughout three weeks just because work is a little hectic right now. So here’s page 1 of 3.

Michelle wrote this one, it’s a little insight in who JP was before the apocalypse. Enjoy!

Dead City One-shot: Like Nya?

Our first Dead City one shot for y’all! There’s a few little shorts like this that couldn’t make it in to the final comic so we thought we’d share and draw them for you anyway!

Hope you enjoy!

What other kinds of one-shots would you like seeing?

Hourly Comics Day 2020

A bit late but here’s my hourlies for this year! I did the whole thing on my new tablet vs. previous years have all been traditional. But it was fun to have it on a Saturday this year! I also noticed I always draw myself in the shower and there’s always a video game involved somehow.

All my previous hourlies can be read right here~

Meet my Brother

I thought I posted this already but it seems I hadn’t. I must have put it off because I drew this before Mikael’s hairstyle changed in the comic.

I’ve drawn JP’s brother, Dimitri, before but I’ve known for a long time that he and Mikael would get along really well. But overall, Dimitri would just be happy for JP for finding someone.

I wish I could put more of JP and Demi’s relationship in the comic!

We’re Still Here: A Trans Anthology Comic “ID’d”

Comic page, a transmasc individual walks through an LCBO (Canada's government owned liquor store). They walk through the aisles lined with wine bottles. Their phone begins to vibrate and we see it's "Theo" with a photo that shows these two are twins.
Our protagonist picks up the phone: Hey bro. Yeah, they have it. Anything else? They pause and we do not hear what Theo is saying but it takes our protagonist off guard. They respond: Uh! No, I haven't seen it. They're now very nervous and sweaty but walk up to the cash. Still on the phone they say: When I get home I'll help you look for it. Yeah. Okay. Bye. The cashier deadpan asks: You got ID? Our protagonist looks nervously away and then back to the cashier with a fake smile. They say: Y-yeah! One sec! In their wallet, they have their Ontario Driver's License which shows an old photo that no longer looks like our short haired, sideburned protagonist. The name reads "Diana Jolie Archer" and the sex is "F". However, they pull out a second ID from behind it that looks more like our protagonist and reads "Theodore Joel Archer" with the sex being "M", the implied missing object from the phone conversation. The cashier holds the ID up to our protagonist and okay's it. Our main character sighs with relief as they leave the store with a paper bag. They say: It's only for one more week. As they anticipate their new ID to come in.

A while back I was in the anthology “We’re Still Here”, and now I’ve been given permission to post my full comic. It’s a story I’ve been playing with for a while, especially since this was written before I changed my name and gender marker on my own ID. The characters featured here might also show up again soon, so look out for them~
