I Decided To Add In Some Glowing Symbols On Leo’s Sword Like In The Movie.

Sketching Donnie

Okay guys I’ve got another comic going on now :). This one is actually written by @ineedseveretherapy and it’s called Truth Or Dare. I kid you not this made me cry. Call me sensitive but man I couldn’t get this out of my head until I decided I HAD TO DRAW IT.

So with permissions from the creator (thank you again, by the way) I started drawing. I struggled so hard to not put as much detail and color and attention into this comic like Warfare because I really like the story, but I knew if I did my main comic would suffer, so I hope you guys are okay with messy sketches haha.

But for real, give this story a read I really like it and there are two parts. Please mind the trigger warnings and tags. This comic and the story does cover heavy topics about suicide so please be careful. Thank you all so much for the love and support you guys are all incredibly amazing. God bless you all! ✝️

Oh my gosh yes! My life. Right there.

Vague sneak peak. Can you guess who is next?

So without further ado, here are some of the best audio clips from our award-winning short story writers. Scroll down to listen to excerpts from eight of our favorite collections:

DROWN by Junot Díaz

“Tell her that you love her hair, that you love her skin, her lips, because, in truth, you love them more than you love your own.”

WHAT IT MEANS WHEN A MAN FALLS FROM THE SKY by Lesley Nneka Arimah

“When Enebeli Okwara sent his girl out in the world, he did not know what the world did to daughters. He did not know how quickly it would wick the dew off her, how she would be returned to him hollowed out, relieved of her better parts.”

PILGRIMS by Elizabeth Gilbert

“She was no dancer and she didn’t want to dance with me, but we found a good slow sway anyway, each of us with an arm hanging down, like a rodeo cowboy’s right arm, like the right arm of a bull rider, not reaching for anything.”

AWAYLAND by Ramona Ausubel

“What are you doing?“ the mother asked. "I guess I’m throwing roses,” the girl said, unable to make sense of herself.”

DEVOTION by Maile Meloy

“Eleanor had never bought a house before and the real estate broker had the air of an authoritative and impatient aunt, waiting for a decision. She tapped long nails on the steering wheel of her parked Lexus while Eleanor gazed at the little house from the passenger seat. The sycamore in the yard had good roots, the broker said.”

FIVE-CARAT SOUL by James McBride

“I am a lion. I live in a zoo. But I was once a free lion, and never forgot it.”

HALL OF SMALL MAMMALS by Thomas Pierce

“Inside every group, he decides, there are more groups. Circles within circles, and inside of those, more circles still, all of them infinitely divisible. You could spend your whole life wondering which ones you’re in and which ones you’re not and which ones really want you and which ones are holes that have no bottom.”

THE BUS DRIVER WHO WANTED TO BE GOD by Etgar Keret

“There are two kinds of people, those who like to sleep next to the wall, and those who like to sleep next to the people who push them off the bed.”

oh YES PLEASE. ABSOLUTELY

Everyone reblog this IMMEDIATELY

Just a little silly comic that was inspired by the cereal debate. Trying to get into the layout of comics before I really start the comic I want to work on. What do you put in the bowl first? XD

Don’t worry, I’m not over my ROTTMNT obsession and I don’t think I ever will be. I just wanted to post some old art I did of Bloom from the Winx Club from 2020.

Have some very lazy line art.

Now this! This was fun! I was trying to find some ROTTMNT merch but I couldn’t find anything I liked! And then I remembered that I literally have the power to create one that I do like.

So here is Leo! The other brothers are soon to come! I think a black background is best to my liking but what do you guys think? Let me know which one you like best.
