Trying To Figure Out How I Want To Make My Comics, They Might All Look A Bit Different For A While

Remember when I said I've been rewatching sams and recently got past the part where Sun kills Bloodmoon. Yeah it gave me an excuse to draw this scene :)

Oh and the reason Sun looks slightly different in this drawing compared to my last one is because some of those design choices happen due to lore that happens later (mainly after Sun uses star power)

A bit off topic from my recent posts but I can't help it-

I went into this event with little thoughts for Rayquaza, I just thought it'd be cool to have a shiny legendary. He has grown on me, I actually love him so much, he's so adorable. His face literally looks like this :D

He's like a puppy, it kept flying around all playfully during the picnic, he has no thoughts, head empty. Derpiest, silliest, noodle dragon around

A silly little child, nothing bad could ever happen to her, right? Right..?

I'm Done Writing For LAE

I've written for LAE for a while now, even when I have 3 other jobs and not a lot of time to dedicate to it. But apparently all that time and effort I put in just isn't good enough.

Every time I open Tumblr, read the YouTube comments, scroll through TikTok, and sometimes even on the TSBS fan discord, I'm welcomed by people saying how shit my writing is, how shit my characters are, or how much they dislike xyz.

This isn't me wanting sympathy, or to guilt trip you. Though I'm fully expecting people to say I am. I just want to let you know; I'm done. I'm not writing any more episodes or interacting with the community in any way. I've tried. It's clearly not good for my mental health. So I'm done.

This isn't me saying I'm done voice acting or anything, I'm still going to be Earth/Pollux/Dazzle, I just won't be writing what will be happening to them anymore.

I put my heart and soul into these characters and their stories, but apparently that's just another way to get hurt.

If you have questions about TSBS, don't send them to me. I'll only answer/interact with questions/posts about my own series/channel.

I haven't been keeping up as much with the LAES, but I adore Earth and Dazzle, plus Pollux and Nebula seem interesting too! Below I tried to write a note for each of the characters I drew:

• I find Earth's desire to help and be there for her family, as well as her ability to set boundaries when necessary, to be admirable traits of hers. Her recent development of chronic pain sounds interesting too, and I'm curious to see how she learns to re-navigate the world and adapt to her situation. Apparently, the recent episode where she makes her promise with Sun was a big deal and some people didn't support it, but Earth has ever reason to do what she did. Between the betrayal of learning the truth behind her father, Nexus' descent into madness, and Lunar's spontaneous attack, it's no wonder she'd feel some rocky trust to those around her. The current Moon who's around isn't even the Moon she grew to know, and it'll take time for her to understand him and trust him to the same level as the rest of her family, and she mentioned in the video too that she was thinking of making the same promise with Solar. Even if she doesn't go through with that promise to Solar, Sun being the first, and possibly only, person she makes that promise to makes sense. Sun is, if I remember correctly, the first member of the family she met, it wasn't even Nexus. It's not that she doesn't trust her family any less, but she trusted Lunar to not hurt her, she trusted Nexus to not hurt her, she trusted her father to not hurt her, and look at what happened. She has every right to be wary right now, and her decision to make that promise to Sun is completely valid.

• Dazzle has easily been a favorite of mine since she's been introduced, and I don't think she'll ever lose that placement. Her naivety, backstory, childish behaviors, and unconditional love/care just make her too hard not to love. One of the videos featuring her that's at the top of my mind lately is her comforting Sun after Nexus' death. She doesn't fully understand why Sun is hurt, or what about him is hurt, but she tries so hard to make him feel better in all the ways that help her. I can't even put into words how much I love that episode. The episode where she meets the beast is also sticking out to me. It's both sweet and heartbreaking her situation with Neptor. Like I said, I haven't been keeping up as much as I'd like with the LAES, but I believe at that point she had been informed of Neptor's death, yet she doesn't seem to understand what that means, and it makes sense! She talks to Neptor like he's still alive, and even says that if she could live in the walls of the Daycare for so long, then of course Neptor must be living in the ground. Of course we know that's not true, but her logic makes sense from her pov and I like that, as heartbreaking as it is to watch though </3 And her worry for the beast, she wasn't scared of it or even had a thought that it might hurt her, instead she was worried if it was ok and if it was hurt. I just love her character so much and whether she gets reunited with her father and stays with him, or she stays with the celestial family, or some kind of compromise between the two happens, I wish the best for her.

• I'm not as familiar with Pollux and Nebula, which feels bad to say, so I sadly don't have much to say about them, but I'm certain they're just as wonderful of characters that I would like to go back and learn more about.

Kat, I think your story telling is lovely, and I adore the characters you voice act. I'm sorry that people in the community can't see that and decided to hurt you, you and all the other female voice actors don't deserve it. Whatever happens next, thank you for your contribution to the story and the patience you had with this community to hold your ground this long. <3

To save from any confusion I wanted to mention that the character featured in all four drawings is my own, Star. She's a bit of a self-insert that I wanted to use to express my support, I hope that's alright.

Update

Two reasons I haven't been working on axoldoption comics: one, I've started feeling unmotivated again, and two I've ran out of my free trial of clip studio paint and can't afford the subscription. I tried going back to ibixpaintx, the app I used before I started using clip studio paint, but it's been a bit difficult to readjust back to that. I'll be taking a break from the axoldoption au, and I'm not sure when/if I'll come back to it.

With the little hedgehog free from the lab, and my because of how happy I am with how these turned out, I thought I'd share her design :D

I started the comics with a different design in mind and ended up changing it recently, but why not show both designs!

I might prefer the new design but with my record I wouldn't be surprised if I change it a few more times. Aside from the name, I'm not sure if I wanna stick with it or not, the notes on the original reference sheet are still true about her.

Im excited to share more of her story and hope others can enjoy it too!

This piece of fanart is my favorite for a couple reasons; it's the first piece of fanart I ever drew for the Sun and Moon Show, and, it got featured on the Sun and Moon Show for a fanart reaction video. I recently decided to redraw it, and I had quite a lot of fun with it. (Left is the redraw and right is the original image from 2022)

I've been rewatching the Sun and Moon Show lately, and just got past the arc where Sun tries to kill Eclipse after killing Bloodmoon, which means it's fresh on my mind. With the recent episodes posted today on tsams and tlaes- I don't know, it all seems familar... I mean..

• Sun attempts to kill Eclipse so that he can feel useful and help his brother who he thinks has done so much for him that now it's time for him to do something in return

• Solar attempts to kill the Creator so that he can protect his family and help them get rid of a nuisance who's been plaguing them for a long time now because he thinks they've been through enough already and shouldn't have to shoulder dealing with the Creator too

• Sun fails to kill Eclipse and instead puts Moon's life in danger. Moon ends up dying later partially in cause to Sun's actions taken while trying to kill Eclipse

• Solar succeeds in killing the Creator only for him to be revived and swear vengeance on the entire celestial family, meaning they're all in danger

Well, they do say history repeats itself.

Happy New Year everyone!

I don't have any new years art to share, but I do have my last drawing of 2024 ^^
