Also I'm doing a thing where if people pay higher than asking price, that money goes towards community copies that are free for people to snatch up if they don't have the extra cash.

Cheers!

I just realized that the title's acronym "TWBU" read in an uwu baby voice sounds remarkably similar to "trouble" so that's the official way of pronouncing it now, I literally made the rules

Today seems like a good day to post a couple of previews of the TTRPG I'm going to release soon.

People who have been following me for a very, very, very long time might recognize this guy. Sometimes you just reuse old OCs for stuff.

Hello everyone! My bluesky is zoemaxine.bsky.social and my co-host is zoemaxine

New pages of "A Princess for the Accidental Or Royal" (formerly "the Orc and her Bride") are up on my bsky as well as on my website (unfortunately WordPress rn but I think I'll switch baco to my original coding). I was having difficulty uploading things on cohost, but if I get it to work I'll update it there too.

Tumblr is not getting updates until it gets its shit together, if it ever does.

Back in fall 2022, I went back to uni! I am enjoying myself but it's made me so busy! I was feeling a little odd about doing a year-end art retrospective when I hadn't drawn very much (apologies for people waiting on the Princess & Orc comic), until I realized: technically I had

While I wasn't always able to take notes (health reasons), when I did take notes, I doodled. Oh did I doodle.

So for your enjoyment and possibly bafflement, a truncated collection of three semesters worth of doodles, the bizarre, the surprisingly nice, the weird little creatures, the ones that are blatantly muppet inspired, my modern marginalia:

(May contain some swear words and at least one badly drawn uterus with a suitcase. There's also lots of staring eyes, disembodied limbs, bones and one drawing of medusa with a head full of snakes near the end. Image descriptions in alt text)

Hello everybody! Thanks so much for your support for the comic I've been working on. The next few pages are underway!

In the meantime, I was told there's already a book series titled "The Orc and Her Bride", which was totally my bad for not googling it first. I thought about it and decided that I'm not more attached to the title than I am not stepping on other people writing sapphic orc love stories so there's been a title change!

I hope you all like the new title and I hope you'll like where this comic goes. c:

For now, here's some early art I did of our two protagonists to tide you over

[Full comic transcript under cut in addition to the alt text.]

So I've been working on a short comic, and here's a preview of the first five pages and the cover. They still need some cleanup and editing, and the rest of the pages of course, but I hope you enjoy them!

Images: First is a cover, in greens, oranges and purples. Title: The Orc and Her Bride, A Comic by Zoe Maxine. The illustration shows a surprised orc woman in a fancy cape and circlet holding an equally surprised dark skinned elf woman in a creamy bridal dress and crown.

Page 1. Full page drawing of the orc woman, looking far more ramshackle, covered in blood on a pile of bodies, and holding a giant axe. She pants with exhaustion.

Page 2. She looks over to see three people murmuring around a nearby building. Orc: "Don't tell me there's more." The three pointy eared people approach, looking frightened. Bearded man with his hands raised: "Mistress - Please, have mercy." The Orc is shocked, before she looks down, muttering, "Not looking forward to this part." Looking at the bearded fellow she says, "I will not harm the unarmed." Sighing, the bearded man says, "Thank you, Mistress." Avoiding his eyes, the orc says, "I don't deserve your thanks. I have killed many of your brethren."

Page 3. Two of the people exchange a look between them, faces neutral. Bearded one: "…Our soldiers, yes." The other, an older woman with short hair, looks at the orc. "Mistress, where do you come from?" Bearded one: "Why have you done this?" A shadow passes over the orc's face. "I am from Eskerfort." The next panel shows her saying "And… because I am from Eskerfort." over a flashback to her kneeling on the ground, defeated, in front of burning houses with soldiers barely visible in the background.

The two people in the present look away, almost ashamed, saying "Ah," with understanding.

Page 4. Looking down at the bodies below her, the orc says, "I am tired of bloodshed. I have avenged my kin. I will darken your doorways no more and leave you in peace." As she turns to leave, however, the beareded one rushes forward. "Wait! Worrier! Stop! Please!" The elfin woman looks up at her, asking, "Do you not know our laws?" Together the two try to point out something to the orc. "Look, please!" "Look!" Among the bodies is a fancily dressed one wearing a circlet. Off-panel, the people say, "That one you killed among the dead - he was our king." One of them reaches down to grab the circlet.

Page 5: Looking concerned, the orc woman says, "Are you asking me to be executed? For Regicide?" As the elfin woman is doing something, the bearded one puts his hands on his hips and looks up sternly. "No, Warrior, we are asking you to take responsibility."

The elfin woman holds the circlet up to the orc. It shines. "Our laws are clear," she says, "Whoever kills the king becomes the new king."

The orc stares ahead, eyes becoming pinpricks. "What?"

The next panel has her dressed in a fur lined cape with the circlet on her head, her hair being brushed. She has the exact same expression on her face. "what?"

The last panel has her sitting at the head of a long table with all the elfin people enjoying themselves around her. "what"
