What if I told you that RoobrickMarine went and wrote an entire novella starring my 16th century dog couple? It's very canon-adjacent, well researched and thoughtfully put together, has inspired me a ton during these past months and it's now publicly available at AO3. I highly recommend it.

Hi!

I don't know if this has been asked before, but do you ever plan on making a webtoon/comic about Machete and Vasco? I think it would look super cool, and heck, I'd even pay good money to sponsor it.

Love your work (And ur little gay dog men)!!

I really, truly wish I could, and I'm terribly flattered to hear you'd be interested in reading such a thing, but I don't know if I'll ever have the time and energy required to undertake such a massive, long term project. It's just not feasible considering my current life and health situation. I can hope and dream, but I can't promise anything, sorry.

Comics are a wonderful form of storytelling that I appreciate tremendously, but they're extremely laborious to make. I don't know why, but whenever I try to test the waters with something short and seemingly easy, consisting of just a handful of simple panels or a couple of pages at most, I'm just overwhelmed by the amount of effort that goes into the comic making process.

#I have friends and mutuals who are successfully making long running webtoons/comics and it boggles my mind how they manage to do it#maybe they're just built different as artists or something#answered#fallenoak123#I have a few short comic scenes planned and I hope I can finish those sooner or later#as a way to illustrate significant story events

I would just like you to know that I turned 18 last week and the only thing I've done with my newfound power was finally look at the few suggestive art pieces of yours I couldnt see before (because i put my real age on tumblr for some reason?? what kinda kid does that)

10/10 more dog per dog. would very recommend

also fr tho i really like the way you go about drawing those kinds of pieces, as with all the rest of your art really- hope youre doin well :>

Oh hey, happy (late) birthday then! I hope your first week as a Verified Adult Person has been nice so far!

My suggestive pieces are tame, tepid and very, very scarce, but I'm glad you found them worthwhile anyway ´v`

"how do you tell the difference between a whippet and an italian greyhound" simple. look at it head on. if it looks like a dog it's a whippet. if it's making a face like you've just threatened it with a firearm, it's an iggy

hi I just wanted to ask if it was alright to put one of your characters in a video of characters I relate to? alright if not! I always make sure to ask first before doing these things haha

Yeah, of course!

I'd be curious to see the video as well. Dm me a link maybe, once it's finished? ´v`
