Besides being at LA Comic Con tomorrow, pages 16-20 from chapter 1 or El Llorón will be up on both Tumblr and Substak. The links to both sites are in my Linktree 💜💜

Drew this during the No Kings march and now I turned it into a sticker. Hubs loved it so he put it on his iPad case. I'll have these at LA Comic Con this weekend (:

What are doing this weekend? You’re going to LA Comic-Con! Artist Alley is gonna be on fire this year! You’ll find me at K27 and I’ll be surrounded by so many AMAZING comic creating friends! @kasutoproductions.bsky.social @jamiesullivan.bsky.social @raheight.bsky.social

Printed the first 20pgs of El Llorón for LA Comic Con. So far, I'm digging how they look (though I might have to rethink the coloring for the next books) 😅 And yes, I made Winnie as the cover for the very first El Llorón printed comic because she's the most popular character 😘💜💜

Hi, I'm gonna be at LA Comic Con next week in Artist Alley, Table Q42. I'll have prints, stickers, comic zines as well as printed copies of El Llorón (first 20pgs) 💜💜

I hate talking about this but here we go My father will die in the next month or two. My car broke down and I live pretty far from his hospital, and I'm still paying my hearing aids. I'm just- idk. I'm tired. I hate hate hate asking for help, but I can't do anything atm. ko-fi.com/heliasanto/g...

Working on a commission...I can now add armor to the list of banes of my artistic existence. Next to stairs, buildings, and spiders ┻⁠━⁠┻⁠ ⁠ヘ⁠╰⁠(⁠ ⁠•̀⁠ε⁠•́⁠ ⁠╰⁠) Also, ow, my hand...(and I only just finished the pencils, I still haven't inked it).

Sneak peek of this upcoming pages 6-10 of El Llorón chapter 1 😏 These pages will be up on Friday at 12pm 💜

Just gonna leave this from chapter 1 from the recent first 5 published pages 😏 Chimalli dumping his latest girlfriend...you have to read it to find out why though (I'm not spoiling nothing) 😆😆😆

Ehhh...(⁠๑⁠•⁠﹏⁠•⁠)

Chapter 1 pgs 1-5 of El Llorón are officially up in my Tumblr and Substack. Hope you enjoy! 😁💜 www.tumblr.com/ellloroncomi... open.substack.com/pub/ellloron...

El Llorón Chapter 1 pgs 1-5 are set to publish Friday 15 Aug at 12pm on both my Substack and my Tumblr. If you've subscribed, you should get an email or notification as soon as they're published. Hopefully you guys enjoy them (:

#PortfolioDay again. I don’t have any new to share unfortunately, but I’m DESPERATE to find more work since my freelance gig has dried up. So if y’all can please pass this around or spread my name to any studio or anyone looking for a Character designer, I’d much appreciate it🙏

All 69pgs of chapter 1 of El Llorón are done! They'll be published in small parts and are already scheduled. The first 5pgs are scheduled to be published on both my Tumblr and my Substack. Links to both blogs are on my profile

Chapter 1 of El Llorón is done...excuse me while I decide whether to take a nap or resume chapter 2 storyboards 🤔 After I schedule the pages publishing dates...

Just got 3-4pgs left to work on to complete chapter 1. Taking a break to practice some anatomy by stepping out of my comfort zone again 😅💜

My nerves are shot because I have five more pages of chapter one to complete...the imposter syndrome is a lot louder as I come closer to the finish line (⁠╯⁠ರ⁠ ⁠~⁠ ⁠ರ⁠)⁠╯⁠︵⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

Once again, I messed around and so I had to go back 10+ pages so they match since they take place in the same setting...had to repeat the same effects over until I was done. Painting nightclub scenes are also the bane of my existence...next to stairs 😅

Just gonna leave some censored NSFW sketches that I just posted on my Patreons just because...🔞😅

Since I can't post animatics here, enjoy the slides from the latest El Llorón animatic on TikTok/Instagram 😅

Winnie feeling cute wearing some lingerie underneath her champion boyfriend's hoodie (she does wear this in the official story)...meanwhile, Chimalli just stands there, trying hard to resist jumping on her and having his way 😆💚💚

I've got three cover slots still available and I will have openings for sequentials starting in August. Email me or dm me here if interested!

Yesterday I played around with one of the pages of El Llorón and colored it...and it looked better (⁠^⁠～⁠^⁠;⁠)⁠ゞ So my dumbass spent all of yesterday coloring 30 something pages including the wrestling match that took up my sanity. Imma just leave this here 😅😅

Freelance project first deadline met...needing a break from working on El Llorón chapter 1. Wanted to draw this for a while where these 2 thought they were catching a break till their daughter woke up 😅🔞

Sneak Peek of chapter 1 of El Llorón. Lemme know if you figure out the cameos in these screenshots 😆😆✌🏼

Sneak peek of page 10 of El Llorón as he waits for his match to start 😏 (lemme know if anyone can recognize the first panel). The full pages are up in my Patreon 💜💜

Ow...my drawing arm...that is all (>﹏<' )

A screenshot sneak peek of El Llorón, chapter 1. Chimalli gets scolded by his head maid because he can't keep it in his pants 😆 (which was an issue since forever) lol

Storyboarding Chapter 2 of El Llorón because can't access my Wacom due to chaos...I'm also a bit of a wimp as I write the chapters. So here's a pinup of Winnie in some lingerie while wearing one of Chimalli's hoodies 😘💚💚

Chapter 1 of El Llorón storyboards are officially done. 88 pages to be exact. Now excuse me as I continue to ice my wrist (⁠~⁠￣⁠³⁠￣⁠)⁠~

Not sure how relevant this is...so I'm officially storyboarding chapter 1 of El Llorón and my original plan was to storyboard the first 5 chapters so I can work and schedule them so I can stay ahead while working on my freelance projects and working as an art tutor...

Chimalli (El Llorón) showing his support for his immigration community (as he is the son of immigrants) (ง •̀_•́)ง‼ #fuckice #nokings

Still storyboarding El Llorón while I wait for feedback from my freelance project. After I finished this page, I instantly regretted my choice in the scenery 😅

Here in the hospital working on El Llorón's storyboards 😁

webcomicday.com SAVE THE DATE!!!!

When you find urself having to rewrite the first three chapters of your comic and having to review all 85 chapters so the whole story stays consistent...all because you wanted to change the main couple's origin story of how they met (⁠ノ⁠｀⁠⌒⁠´⁠)⁠ノ⁠┫⁠：⁠・⁠┻⁠┻

Contemplating if I should officially start storyboarding the official main story of my luchador comic, El Llorón or continue to post story sketches, character explanations and reels 🤔

Some character info on Winnie & her trauma. Her full name is Minerva Winona Akinyemi Rivera & she was adopted by a couple who couldn't have kids of their own due to her mom's fertility issues. Her dad is half Brazilian, half Portuguese & her mom is Ethiopian. TW/SA

Me 😅

Happy International Women's Day! For today, I wanna introduce some info on Sharon Engel, Winnie's Salvadoreña güerita best friend. She's also a transgender woman and the voice of reason in their little friendship circle.

A young Chimalli modeling without his mask, including a sketch of him just minding his own business 😏💜

⌛ONE HUNDRED MINUTES REMAIN!⌛ And we are just $400 AWAY from our next stretch goal! We can make it! I know we can! www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro...

Chimalli in his early 20's (before he was the international champion) was "asked" to model for a calendar shoot. At the time, he was still adjusting to life in LA, going to college and taking certification classes so he could be a personal trainer 😏😏

Feeling the fomo seeing my buddies prep for ECCC as I had to withdraw due to not enough funds to travel. After applying for 3+ years, I finally got in and then poop hit the proverbial ceiling but I'm grateful I was finally accepted. Hopefully next year, I'm able to go 😊💜💜

I created a new section in my Substak for all my future El Llorón comics. I have the first one scheduled for next Saturday as my Patreons get first dibs 😏💜

⭐️GIVEAWAY TIME⭐️ 🧡First of all thank you for 2k followers! And to keep the good traditions alive, I’m doing a giveaway of a free full commission! ⭐️RULES -most be a follower -tag a friend -like this post -leave a comment ⏱️Ending: Thursday the 27th. 😊Good luck and thanks again #giveaway

For those wondering where Chimalli got his name and why he has this name. When I was designing him, I always wanted to give him a Nahuatl name since his family is very traditional when it comes to their indigenous roots in Mexico.

When you see an awesome story and give a reaction only to realize you reacted to one of your favorite animators...someone take me out of this world please >_<'

So now Chimalli's family. His mom is Peruvian and his dad is the luchador from Mexico, El Santo de Lágrimas. Chimalli's family is considered important and lucha libre royalty in the world of Lucha Libre because of his great grandmother, La Lloróna.
