I'm Terrible At The Social Side Of Tumblr, But I'm Getting Better. If Anyone Wants To Send Asks Or Anything

I'm terrible at the social side of Tumblr, but I'm getting better. If anyone wants to send asks or anything the inbox should be open. Think I'll answer a few this weekend. Even though I've had this blog since 2020 I never really used it much until now.

I guess the Mario movie really reignited that spark to draw again. It's good to finally feel inspired lol.

Your human bowser with the magic crown makes me think of a scenario where the two have become close but bowser loses it and doesn’t want Luigi to see him until he gets it back meanwhile Luigi’s trying to convince him that it’s fine and he misses him terribly

I like this scenario. It's very inline with what I've been head-cannoning about Bowser's insecurities. In his human form he is treated so much differently that it's hard not to feel like there was something 'wrong' with who he is under the crown.

Bowser desires closeness and a bond with someone. I believe he's a lonely person at heart who goes about solving it in all the wrong ways (we see that with him kidnapping peach).

He thinks it's his human form from the crown that makes everyone like him. He's hiding behind the crown as an excuse to not have to face he has to make real changes to himself that he's afraid to do. He won't face rejection if he hides, but he also can't make meaningful relationships. It's a double edged sword.

Luigi is a very perceptive person. Being in Mario's shadow he really can watch and observe things about others that are missed because he doesn't have to deal with all that fame. He is one of the few people who really notice how much Bowser is struggling and how Bowser is so desperate for affection at the detriment of his mental health.

I feel Luigi would really try his best to show Bowser that he cares for him no matter what he looks like, and he doesn't have to hide himself away.

A member of our group at the Con has night terrors and we are all sharing one room. Basically I'm not sleeping because once I nod off I hear a blood curdling scream from the bed next to me 😭

Some WIP stuff. Just the inks and a bit of coloring in process on a close up of one of the pages I'm working on.

I use clip studio as my art program

By the end of May I will have fully sketched, inked, colored and storyboarded 12 comic pages. Mania is one hell of a drug lol.

Also this comic is turning out to be longer than expected. I thought it would be 20 pages but after doing the script and outlines it looks like it will go past that.

Though with every page I get faster as I draw since I spend 2-3 hours a day minimum (4-5ish) days a week working on it. I remember the first page taking so so long and now I have it down to a system! However some upcoming panels will really test my art abilities so hopefully I can deliver.

Just a update for the day I guess.

meanwhile, in bowsers castle…
