I draw and write stuff. I've created a comic called “Eternal Beach City” about a seaside metropolis where lifeguards rule — with a very laid back fist. Basically, I’m establishing a cult of personality based around cute girls that lower your defenses.
Is it fucked up that I’m low-key beating myself up that the Rx number on the prescription doesn’t have some hidden double or triple meaning? www.patreon.com/darlingsnarl
I’m not gonna lie, getting dressed just for the sake of company *is* an imposition I don’t think guests appreciate enough. It’d be one thing if I were the type to insist you take your shoes off at the door. www.patreon.com/DarlingSnarl...
In case you didn’t catch the last bonus panel, I guess I should mention that Esther is adjusting her swimsuit in the first panel because the last time we saw her a seagull was pulling up the groin area of her swimsuit as one might the elastic portion of a slingshot. www.patreon.com/darlingsnarl
Just a little collection of some of my favorite comics where something LGBTQy is goin’’ on for the sake of kicking off Pride Month! So… have a good pride everyone! Stay safe out there! ❤️🏳️🌈 www.patreon.com/darlingsnarl
Certain aspects of constructing these background sets I feel confident are techniques that people who went to film school had relayed to them on day one. In my case, however, it took me at least seven hours of banging my head against the wall until it occurred to me. www.patreon.com/darlingsnarl
So, those of you who aren’t seeing the exclusive bonus panel aren’t able to see the public restroom stall set I spent… honestly… an amount of hours building that it’d be lowkey embarrassing to fully admit to. www.patreon.com/darlingsnarl
Is this some kind of homage to The Substance? Or FLCL? Hard to say since I hold a great deal of affection for both. It’s also possible I was just in the shower, realized I’d used body wash instead of shampoo in my hair, and this very reasonable concern occurred to me. www.patreon.com/darlingsnarl
It’s a sale! (Also, the set I put together.) www.patreon.com/darlingsnarl
I think it’s worth noting that not only is that not actually the *joke* in 99% of my comics, it’s arguable that it’s not even the joke in *this* one! Yeah, it’s the topic of the joke *within* the joke. But that’s not the *whole* thing. Also, sale is still going on! www.patreon.com/darlingsnarl
If I were the type to make bets on Kalshi and the like, I’d put good money down that someone in the comments of at least one of my social media accounts (probably Reddit) will chime in to explain the actual origin of and phrase, or idiom being misunderstood and/or dissected for the sake of a joke.
You know, I really gotta give props to you furry artists out there. I dunno how y’all deal with the structure of canine and canine-adjacent heads for everything you do! I guess it probably helps if you’ve spent a lot of time doing it. www.patreon.com/darlingsnarl
Can you believe that the decision to go with the creator of CSI came before I even started to think about what the title would be? I would have assumed Anthony got chosen for the purpose of turning the title into a double-meaning reference to the CSI theme song. www.patreon.com/posts/156669...
It’s funny how so many groups can feel like a monolith from the outside, but as you start dipping your toe into some space where they talk amongst themselves, there’s inevitably a lot of infighting and questioning regarding specific aspects and definitions most outside that sphere wouldn’t consider.
I just realized, I guess when I saved it, it didn’t actually saved as a gif?! I fucked up the joke!
KIDDING, of course. You’re obviously already aware it’s set up that way for the gag. It just made me think of this scene and I couldn’t help myself. Also, thank you very much! ☺️
Should’ve written this text at some point before I finishing this pin-up, since I was experimenting with it until I started getting too tired to string two sentences together. So, what does that mean I have to do now? String even MORE than two sentences together! www.patreon.com/posts/155871...
Even now, I’m not sure if it would have been better to composite in a photograph of the Lunchables packaging for panel two or if my stylized drawing of the product helps everything flow better. Would the photo have felt too jarring? I dunno! Anyway. Patreon! www.patreon.com/darlingsnarl
Not gonna lie, the way @cwgabriel.bsky.social does Tycho’s “hair swoops” was very instrumental to how I do certain lines. And I know it directly influenced my design for this chick’s hair.
The butter boxes in question. Also, how good is Die Hard? That flick has to have at least fifteen hidden set-ups they organically pay off before rolling the credits. And as with tiny cardstock boxes, fifteen may not sound like a crazy number, but in this particular context, IT IS!
For the Patreon bonus panel I had to design, print, cut, fold, and tape together hundreds of tiny empty cartons for butter! Okay, it wasn’t hundreds. But fifteen is still a lot when it comes to constructing tiny little boxes! Seen those and… “more” on the Patreon.
Lightning, am I right? Weird stuff. Also! Bonus panel at: [Patreon](www.patreon.com/darlingsnarl)!
NSFW ARTISTS, use only one piece to convince people to follow you! (I’m counting one comic as one piece.)
