More fun facts: The general idea I had with Spencer's design was to design a character that resembles, to a T, that one cute tall guy with an adams apple EVERYONE has seen but you only ever see in passing at the supermarket or gas station. He never says anything but he definetly recognizes you.

Holy crap, yall like this concept art huh? I did base her current personality after this piece once HCF issue 1 was in production

Of all the concept art that was made for HCF. This still remains one of my favorites. I love it so much my pfp on Newgrounds is this. I kinda wanna give Lav a similar outfit in a later issue as a homage to this one

Some quick thoughts before I head in to work tonight. Emergency ordered a new tablet pen so that should be arriving soon. Ordered 10 more Lil' Lav keychains to distribute!(There are now 16 in existence) The hardest part ab comicking. Every page is basically a new art piece in of itself. But its fun

Taking a load off tonight, back on it tomorrow

more moon...always room for a wee bit moon #Edinburgh

Chika #hidamarisketch #ひだまりスケッチ

Note, once the series migrates to Comix Cleric, this requirement will no longer be as tedious... as the song will simply be embedded into the page itself- BITF style!

Ok the ACTUAL last sneek peek fr this time See ya February 14th! (Or later.. idk)

The issue to truly "grow the beard" Me thinks :)

I like that the attempt to spread to Twitter kinda died off so quickly bc holy shit that site sucks. The hcf acc there died. It would make a lot more sense to just cast a wider net by using my main JovialEclipse twitter acc I feel. So if I ever decide to advertize there again thats how i'll do it.

Yeaaas, finally a proper front facing nose strategy that actually works! The traditional nose type is still here, just reserved for specific shots

Hot Chip Fingers. You'll be hungry for more hot chips!

If all goes right and on time, Issue #4 will be out February 14th. Very excited for this one. This one is going to be one of the most ambitious issues so far!

The lone survivor of this world, is she.

"depressed ahh nae nae baby in my damn comic" - @jovialeclipse.bsky.social

Progress is chugging along.

Small little funfact This specific panel in Issue 2 is the last remnant of an earlier version of the first 2 pages that were more in the style of Issue 1's off model style. You can tell by the thickness of Lavender's outline here. I tried redrawing it but they all came out bad so this stayed.

Fuck my transgender himedanshi life

Issue #4 has a singular content warning (Blood)

While in recent times, Lav has been more of a music buff, she's still a gamer deep down. Her favorite game is Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island for the super nintendo. Spencer's is No More Heroes

I like to post fun facts every once in awhile. But I do wanna post sparringly as I do wanna show a lot of these facts within the story itself

Small funfact about Lav. Her Mom used to make her alfredo all the time. She seems like a picky eater but she does love traditional mexican dishes like mole, chilaquiles, pambazos, tamales, birria, posole, huaraches, street tacos, flautas, sopes. Oh and from her Dad's side, poutine, major fan.

If all goes right and on time, Issue #4 will be out February 14th. Very excited for this one. This one is going to be one of the most ambitious issues so far!

Lavender's favorite Sanrio character is Pochacco Spencer had no preference so Lavender had to show him her Sanrio stickerbook and let him pick He chose Badtz-Maru

Your 2nd Issue #4 Sneek Peek! Aaaand thats all ill show. :)

Issue #4 projected page count is 12 (really just 9 considering the memoriam page, artpiece credits page)

At this rate the comic is probably going monthly.

"How far down do you think we can go?"

Lavanda para siempre

Anyone asking why the acc was 21+ it was a holdover from when the server existed. But now that its gone, its back to 18+

I'm putting out a casting call for any musician who knows how to play acoustic guitar and also sing. If you're willing to work under NDA (bro, trust me), lemmie know your commission rates in DMs and we can work something out! :)

2nd piece of concept art for Issue #4

Without going too hard into specifics, the name of the final issue has already been decided "hope." (In all lower case, and a period) However that wont happen for another year or two so yeah!

Here's concept art for Lavender's room, debuting in Issue #4 and onward! Pretty cozy, you'd say?

Lavender has a sore throat and an upset stomach, so she eats honey with limon and manzanilla tea

To anyone who actually looked at the test page I had up for 30 seconds on the site. No you didnt.

You guys aren't ready for my transgender twin ocs where one of them is conservative gay trans man and another one is an anarchist leftist theatre kid trans girl.

Drawing humans is so fucking hard you guys

I reserve my right to feel uncomfortable I reserve my right to be afraid

Awake and unafraid

I don't believe that everything You've known about me is gone forever And I won't forget the days that we spent forever It haunts me

Kofi? Maybe. But i'll feel greedy..

There will probably never be a Patreon for HCF and the literal only reason is bc I fear i'd be so irresponsible with comic updates lmao production updates are scarce as it is 😭
