hey guys i just finished a draft for one of the stories in my comic but could really use some critique. basically ive been interviewing multicultural people and then writing short comics based on our conversations. i think ive been staring at it too long and need a fresh pair of eyes. please be harsh idc. are the drawings too stiff or monotonous? do i need to add more background? is it written ok should i rewrite anything?

I tend to draw everything with the same soft pillow-like texture, so painting different surfaces is important practice for me ~ If you want to learn more about how I do this, check out my tutorial on painting different surfaces over on patreon!

saw a teenager in a TikTok comment section asking what it was like “being alt in 2012” and I was like what the hell and I left like 8 comments talking about how it was the same as it always is. You find your niche & friends & carve out a space for yourselves & some people will love what you do & other people will hate it and it is what it is.
but what is super funny is how what is considered alt continuously changes, like what is considered “the karen cut” today—staple of middle aged women—was edgy when I was in high school. A lot of emo and scene kids had asymmetrical stacked bobs.
When I got an undercut, nobody in my town had one. Only me. People reacted like I got a face tattoo and my principle actually tried to figure out whether I could be suspended for it, but there was nothing explicitly against it in the school handbook (and in fact tapers and fades were protected to allow Black students to have certain hairstyles so my haircut ended up being covered by rules fought for by Black parents. Thank you).
So it’s so funny to see elementary schoolers just walking around with half their heads shaved now.
Idk I remember when I was a teenager and adults who were teenagers in the 90s would tell me I didn’t know what “real emo” is and my trends were stupid, I promised myself I would never lose my sense of wonder & whimsy at evolving & emerging subcultures.
And I haven’t. I love seeing what the kids cook up and how the trends I loved at their age are discarded and rediscovered and recycled again and again.
Anyway the kid in the comments said “thank you for educating me about 2012” and I felt like the laziest funniest anthropologist ever but the truth is that historians are always starving for primary sources & it’s funny to think we are all a primary source for a little pocket of time.
People today are deeply obsessed with the 2000s emo scene, mosh “culture,” etc. etc. & I just think of it as the life I lived so it’s cute to think I have important insight on something that simply happened while I was there.
And y’all do too. I like humanity idk.
