Lex shows Angie his Self. Even in a churchyard she's not fully shielded from the effects of seeing his raw state. She didn't talk to him for weeks afterward. #SupplementaryMaterial #Illustration #CharacterBio

Lex takes Ram on his rounds. Warning: illness and disease talk, end of life talk (strip 1). #webcomic #comic #RamAndLex #LHOComics

First Lex (back when I was still contemplating his design) and first Ram (he had an asymmetric theme at first, but I dropped that). Lex is an old man now, but Ram's barely changed apart from the haircut. #SupplementaryMaterial

Finished inking. I've still got a lot to do digitally, but I'm in the final stretch now. (Sneak peak of final panel.)

Called out 😓 What's worse is I do my own lettering!

"A.i." doesn't empower anyone. It strips them of belief in themselves and the power of their own minds and hands and abilities and stories. EVERY KID CAN DRAW. EVERY KID CAN TELL STORIES AND MAKE COMICS. Fuck "A.i." for telling kids lies and making them less-than.

AI comics are nothing. You can't improve your work with AI comics. You can't look at a page and think, Yes! I did that! That's MINE!, or cringe in horror at older pages. You can't even wonder at how you drew better just two strips ago. You can't own (or disown) anything AI made. It's nothing.

i just did a workshop with kids about making comics. emphasized that ANYONE can make comics. you don't have to be a "good" artist. you find a story that matches your art style and you do it and it's awesome. and a kid who NEVER PARTICIPATES got out from under a desk and PARTICIPATED and had a blast.

Rachel asks a question and just gets more questions in return. #webcomic #comic #RamAndLex #LHOComics

When I first started planning this, I set it in 2013 because it wasn't too long ago and I needed it to have a set year for my internal timelines. Now 2013 is over 10 years ago and I'm constantly Googling cars of various years pre-2013, "fashions 2013" and "hairstyles 2013"

When you work on a comic you are also working on toning down the perfectionistic side of yours: you'll learn the hard way that not every panel or page will be perfect (especially in the early chapters) or else you'll never get your story done. Your art evolves just like your story!

It's getting a bit crowded in that barn. #webcomic #comic #RamAndLex #LHOComics

Finished penciling my comic. There's countless hours of work in these 5 and a bit sketch books, and even more hours to go with inking and digital finishing. But the biggest part is done. Finishing touches from now on.

What's even the point of writing if I don't get to research!?

Something a bit different today. Rachel and Kiko go to the fair, and Rachel ends up with even more questions than answers. (Set before the elves arrive). #ShortStory #OriginalCharacters #RamAndLex lho-arts.tumblr.com/post/7857674...

The illustration. Just let go and relax. #SupplementaryMaterial #Illustration

Me six months ago: I don't know how to draw this yet. I'll figure it out when I get around to inking. Me now, inking: Fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

It's #Pride Month *and* Kylie is touring, so it seems only right and proper to share the #MuseumBums of our true and rightful queen! 👍🏛️🍑💃🪩🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ These are the gold lamé hotpants from the 'Spinning Around' music video (2000), part of Kylie's warehouse of costumes at the Melbourne Arts Centre 😁

Happy Pride Month!

It's an age-gap (just larger than expected) #webcomic #comic #RamAndLex #LHOComics

I decided to make the Christmas comic extra special. I already regret it just from penciling one panel.

Draw the comic. Get a cheap sketchbook and a cheap pencil, and draw the comic. Download some free software, and draw the comic. It won't be good, but it will be, and that's the first step.

Similar setup for an early comic vs recent pencils. I can't even believe how far I've come just working on it on the weekend.

Happy (Belated) Mother's Day! Here's to the mothers who made it work despite everything! On a end-of-school outing with her friends, a month shy of her 17th birthday, Angie decides she's going to keep the baby. #SupplementaryMaterial #Illustration #MothersDay

Just three strips left to draw (48, 48.5, 48.5b, 49, 49.5, 50). Unfortunately, I haven't figured out any of them beyond drafts and thoughts. I might have to catch up on my inking while I'm thinking.

One more sketchbook down, and I'm so close to completion. My comic will have taken over five sketchbooks to complete, but not as many as six. Measuring lines for my last comics is both melancholy and exciting. It's nearly finished! It's nearly finished 😭

This is something new I'm going to try to remember to do each week: #SupplementaryMaterial! First up: Lex's house floorplan (not to scale). The main areas in the comic so far are the hall, the kitchen and the main bedroom. Not visible are the attic and cellar.
