My comic FRANTIC LIVE turns 6 years old today!

It's been 6 years since I started posting it online after preparing the entirety of volume 1 for print. Much has changed in these years, and most notably, I haven't been able to update the comic much. It was my first long comic project, and there is no underestimating the amount of work that goes into something like this - especially when you're working in full color.

Eventually, I had to put comic work on the backburner when COVID happened and I lost conventions as a means of income (and tbh, they were not a great one to begin with!)

I think everyone here knows how much I love Mitch and want to tell his story. Volume 1 was made with a strict deadline and intended for print with what limited funds I had, so I had to keep the page count low, compressing plot elements that could've used more love. This has been bothering me for years!

Because of this, I'm pleased to announce that FRANTIC LIVE will be REMASTERED, with @scribbleryn's help to re-do and polish the plot. This is a complete reboot which will be mostly self-hosted so we don't have to censor or tone down any part of it.

Some elements will change, some will stay. It will be the same old Mitch, band, Sam, Gerry… with a host of new characters to support. We will be working on this over the spring and summer and will share more tidbits soon!

I love how different forms of art are all obsessed with each other. A book tries to capture the feeling of music, a painting tries to depict a scene in a book, a song tries to paint a picture. And it's always insufficient. No single form of art can encapsulate another form of art and capture the essence of it – but it tries, and its attempts are impossibly compelling. All the forms of art are in love with each other and spend so much time trying to express what makes the other kinds of art so lovely.

🎨 ART TAG

I'm Mue, a 30+ year old trans & bi artist from Germany. My pronouns are he/him.

I create an original comic FRANTIC LIVE which is being written together with my best friend, @scribbleryn.

You will also see me collab with Ryn on various other projects and alternative universes involving our original characters. While I draw, Ryn provides the juicy plot and writing. Please check out his original fiction if you'd like some context for many of the works I'm posting.

My main body of work tends to be NSFW. To find uncropped and uncensored pieces, check out the NSFW links on my website. https://artbymue.com/links

~~~

I have always been firmly on the pro-fic side, celebrating and encouraging creative freedom and fun in art, fiction, and fandom. I'm a multishipper who enjoys exploring intense, transgressive, dark and problematic themes and dynamics just as much as the fluffy and wholesome ones. All in good fun.

I will add a tag directory for this blog at some point. For now, enjoy the art!
