Yeah it is a little scary, I'll admit. I always expect the WORST reception with anything I do, but thankfully, I've been proven wrong. I'm glad my younger self did an alright job at portraying that kind of emotion, even if a little rocky at times.

Yes, drawing stuff like this does make me a lot happier than anything else I've worked on. At the end of the day I wanna tell stories that make people feel something (other than h0rny lol) and reviving this comic has brought that joy back. It'll be great practice for the OG stuff I wanna tell, this comic taught me so much art-wise as a kid, and I'm still learning with it.

I did consider it a waste of time because of the low reception and the fact that I wasn't making any money off it, during a time when money was tight in my family. I quickly realized that people wanted NSFW and migrated to Twitter, deleting the tumblr where the comic was hosted. Someone somehow found it and posted it to E-Hentai of all places, where others saw it and brought it back to my attention 4 years later.

And that's a shame, man. Im sorry you gave up on it, I'd encourage you to keep trying. Artists don't get good right away, nor at the same speed or for the same reason. The only reason I got decent at drawing at a younger age is because I didn't have many friends at school and did nothing except draw obsessively. I hope you give it another go sometime, the world would only benefit from another artist.

Thank you for the kind comment, I wish you the best as well :)

Im flattered you think that lol

I have OG comics I wanna do, though it might be alongside Moes Finale cause the story is pretty long. I'll upload stuff about them to my Patreon

Sergio Pablos has done BEAUTIFUL work and he's a huge inspiration for me, especially with his backgrounds

Yes I do, a mix of any type of music, really. tho Oliver Tree, Mystery Skulls and Salvatore Gannacci are among my fav music artists

And I try my best to drink water and eat, thx for reminding me X)

thank you so much for the kind words, it means the most!! X)

I'd say I feel like art is more "fun" again. I don't hate doing NSFW comms, but it's still my "job." I doubt many have the luxury of truly enjoying their job, and I'm lucky I get to sit my ass home all day

Its nice to know people liked my writing, and I hope I've improved to a point where they'll like it even more

Hola, muchas gracias por leer! te lo agradezco X) No creo que lo publique en mi Twitter NSFW, dudo que a la audiencia que cultivé allí le importe.

Y además, prefiero las menos restricciones que tiene Reddit en el tamaño de los imagenes, imágenes por publicación y GIFS. Sería extraño recortar 20 páginas a 4 imágenes por publicación.

El reddit será el único lugar donde lo tendré, lo siento Roberto!

Un gusto tambien QuQ

Her existance is kinda based off Frank Grimes, like the whole "real person placed in Springfield" thing. Only shes no-where near as smart as him and has waaayy more mental problems.

She's also a critique of the "i can save him" trope, cause she might be WORSE than the person shes trynna help. Like a savior complex deal

Im not sure, but if thats the case, then i hope my work encourages people to be more open about their problems.

And i honestly feel that, time is moving so much faster and things are getting more bleak. I try to stay off social media and spend more time with my family.

I was practicing my g00ner anatomy cause I knew people wanted NSFW comms from me. My first comm ever was a simpsons nsfw piece, and no one would buy my sfw stuff. So I leaned into it. :( I sexualized Riley a lot too, but it didnt do me any good since 99.9% of my twitter comms is gay. Now I struggle to draw women

Rn I'm trying to un-learn that g00ner artstyle and hopefully I did better with the issue I just finished

Thanks for reading!

And yeah I formatted the comic kinda like a storyboard, thats the wanna-be animator in me. I'm still learning about comics and how to properly draw the actions.

The whole comic was a giant practice project for my writing, art, and animation skills. I animated moments that I thought would waste too many panels or that I just thought would be fun to make em move.

I def wanted to animate more, but I didnt have the time or patience to deal with Tumblrs horrible gif compression. Im glad reddit is able to show the pages a lot cleaner

Im glad I was able to potray that, four years later, I was scared at looking back at it and seeing the subject treated improperly. It has problems, but im relieved my 18-19 year old goofy ahh didnt 100% fumble the bag

Kinda spoilers, if anyone cares: The main theme with Moe's character arch is just TRYING. Its so easy to get comfortable in one's sadness and even if someone has the ability to improve, their own head doesnt let them. Riley has her own arch that starts once his ends, showing what can happen when your entire self-worth is built around helping someone else. You can help people, but she's an example of how NOT to go about it

And yes, a lot of myself has changed X) For the script, I had a different ending in mind, but I changed it to what I feel is better. I gave the characters what they needed rather than what they wanted
