If you're following me on Instagram or Facebook, you know I'm collaborating with sewerwolf on a graphic novel. Which, aha. Means not only refining my comic book style / sequential art, but learning to do digital artwork. 2021: the year this asshole finally picked up a stylus instead of a paintbrush and calligraphy pen. (And, alas, moving away from tattoo-

design, as I doubt that apprenticeship will be re-happening for me because of COVID.)

And if you don't follow me, surprise, I'm collaborating with Kix on a graphic novel.

A lot of it spun off from this *fucking delightful psl about Rin the nonbinary bar owner slash "ex" con artist, and Sen, who is just lucky to be here.

For real, this PSL has re-engaged me in RP, and in character creation, and in creating art again after a massive fucking slump.

Anyway, concept arts first then rambles about these two and everyone knows where the mute button liES

First pass (rough pass) of a more youthful Sen when I was still learning to use digital programs.

Rin, the shortest of shorts and most theatric ever

Posted an uninked sen but forgot it's the one with the wonky eye sO

iNKED sen

and the full panel from that particular scene.

90s mall vibes of the chaos trio (just more concept sketches here)

bathrobe.

Omg I love these!

Evolution of Rin from concept mugshot to "here's a meme"

ahhhhh thank you ;.;

I'm proud of how much progress I've made on the tablet. I started out with some really rough shit

now I screm because oh my god this noodle and his meandering monologuing to any and everyone who'll text him back. Or sit still long enough for him to gesticulate at them. And meanwhile here's Rin encouraging this behavior.

Going to sit quietly in a windowsill and watch the rain? Not today, Satan. Instead, we're going to talk about shoddy flirting.

and now this 12-year old kid and her Mothman/roller skates / Italian.

;.;

asdgdfgh

And meanwhile he's off comparing someone's abstinence from drinking to unicorns.

What is your Instagram BTW

you look like you rolled off the Tony Hawk magazine for aged out skaters what are you doing talking philosophy with anyone

I mean

Is he wrong

! Oh, ! It's eviemillerart!

and tbh I wish I could hide most of the old shit on there but

what can ya dO

And in context. And out of context. I guess he's not wrong at all >.>

/yeets a follow at you!

Sen may get another text from me in the near future, if you don't mind.....

I do not mind at all! I may be a bit slow today on the tag front but hhhh bring it!

Sen has yet to tell Rin he's dying and I kind of want to punch him in the back of the head for that "oversight". Which keeps being an oversight in favor of "oh we're going to be a couple now? " and "hey I'm going to ask them to marry me and not once mention the liver issue IT'LL BE FINE."

SEN!!

LOOK

...

he ?

look.

:I

...If I keep saying "look" maybe we'll forget about the oversight.

(Rin will be sad. They are not sad right now. How can he make them sad??) ((If he says it out loud then it's real. :C ))

nah we're just going to ignore it until some. time. not now.

ooooh

Exacerangutan: HI!!!!!

:3

:3 <3

hi just here to say I like your RP and also your art //squishes your cheeks//

asjfklhas /squish fish face

thank you; we will make more RP occur!! >: 0

ooh I would like that sometime when you're up for it <3

(also I had more to scream about but I progressively ran out of steam which just means it's adderall o'clock so everyone sit tight while I wrestle the ADHD back into submission)

s e n a n
:c
:c :c :c

but god please again and always i adore this art all of it

yeah i have been thinking about this oversight all goddamn day

the piggy back ;.;.;

THE BATHROBE

rin just always rin ;.;.;

always everyone ;.;.;

time to retire the quad agenda skater nickname and

perf

/over here screaming about sen and rin, makes no mention of the enormous trash fire that is darius because that man sings "I Touch Myself" and "Pony" at karaoke night and doesn't need more attention

^ but those are always the characters you end up yelling about most

True. In his case it’s a “why are you like this” kind of yelling ofc >.>

He is not allowed around Holly. Sen made this rule. :[

aksdhfghj

Holly 'has definitely been around similar/worse people' Genovese

>.> I'm going to say he's in the top ten. Not my character but I'm willing to lay oh all my dollars he'd offer her coke

/crying

Holly: :I I look like a coke fan to you dude? really?

'see this nose? this ain't gettin' melted for a million bucks, it's literally perfect'

i'm fucking dying oh my god

ugh here he was trying to be generous whatever go snort crayons or whatever kids do pshhhhhhh

SENOODLE!!!!

CRAYONS

darius knows what the kids like it's definitely crayons probably crayons whatever he is very busy with this coke that is i guess all his

Holly: >:I how about I replace your fuckin' snow with sour candy powder, how about that, fuck face

I love him already not sorry

holy shit well i am very here for holly fhgjgj
darius just gonna...
respect that a little bit actually
but also don't you DARE sour candy gross gross grosS

just laces his smokes with gunpowder or some shit

she's never had said candy BUT

she's watched human kids eat it

apparently it's awful

let's inflict it on others

please yes do this with the gunpowder
and let sen witness it
10000% i support this and darius will grouse for weeks

tbh he would prefer thaT to the sour candy

u g H

'what'd be do to deserve that'

'assumed I was basic enough to want coke'

lmao I'M SORRY DARIUS

*he

(Giovanni is ROLLING in his grave at this conversation )

HE DOES NOT ACCEPT YOUR APOLOGY but that is because he is a shit shh shh shh
and giovanni keep that rolling on the dl because darius WILL try to instigate similar convos just to see how much he can get your dead self rolling

...who left these two children alone together

SEN DID

SEN LOOK WHAT YOU DID

....i

i have no argument

i have no fucking defense

mmhMMMM

but sen
