the worse part of trying to draw nsfw art is trying to find references, cant find good references, and now im researching porn to screenshot these fuckin poses and its the worst part because it feels like im studying in a english class or some shit
(has a mini pity party)
(goes to parents house)
(realize that even if things do go wrong, my parents are willing to give me the respect and boundaries i've been asking for because they've started to grow up more too, and give me a landing pad in case i'm kicked out of current place)
(immediately apply for ten jobs but not as anxious and depressed as before because i have good parents and love them and glad that they're willing to give me the support needed)
I thinks folks expressing incredulity at the quality of the writing and composition in Calvin and Hobbes are often missing the context that Bill Watterson is arguably the most influential sequential artist of his generation. Like, this is a guy who once told the editors of nationally syndicated newspapers to go fuck themselves when they wanted to mess with his panel layouts, and not only did he keep his job, he got his way. He could have had literally any gig he wanted, and he chose to be the Sunday funnies guy because that's what made him happy. He's basically the Weird Al of sequential art.
Finally after all these years.................................... here's an updated ref for my tmnt 2012 oc Alec Foster [Any Pronouns]. He's a 600 year old witch(?). Up until Season 3 Alec ran the fortune telling shop in the East Village. They only joined the Foot Clan bc his Dumbass Boyfriend Mutated Himself, Their Daughter and Xever and he'd rather keep an eye on them and make sure they don't all bite it . Also he hosted a spooky late-night paranormal show back in the 90s called "Unexplained Encounters"
Any way here's a season 1 Alec and Chris for the road
