While I was at the convention this weekend I had some people expressing interest in Big Hype. Would comic creators be interested if I opened submissions again?

Almost ready to show this very emotional comic to my grad school mentor from @solsticemfa.bsky.social. Been working on these pages since… July? But a supportive spouse and 30 minute chunks of time allow for more progress than you’d know!

I don’t know if it’s still really called “inking” if it’s done digitally, but however you slice it, I’m finally getting some of these pages for @solsticemfa.bsky.social program past the rough draft stage. Very eager to share this thing with y’all-- and possibly even make you feel stuff! 😿

A partially-completed page of comic art where a young woman and her mother interact at a funeral. The first two panels are inked; the remaining seven panels are drawn in rough format, but await polishing.

Been making some progress on this new short story for @solsticemfa.bsky.social, and drawing is finally beginning to feel more like handwriting, if that makes sense. Sometimes I’ve gotta scratch things out, but overall, what’s coming out of the pen is expressing what I want— it’s a good place to be!

Comics for homework? Yes, please. 🙏 Now that I’m a grad student at the @solsticemfa.bsky.social program, I’ll generating 4 new comics stories this fall under the supervision of my mentor, @joshneufeld.bsky.social Excited to apply the techniques that I’ve been learning!

Folks! My comics club students and I are going to debut their new anthology at Space Cadets this Saturday, and if you’re in the Houston area, we’d love for you to swing by! This is our fundraiser for the year, so if you want to get a custom commission or donate to the club, we’d love your support!

The only thing better than getting a page of comics? Getting *two* pages of comics. I don’t do full spreads very often, but it’s a fun way to challenge my chops while working on a bigger canvas. And since this story takes its characters around the world, well, why not?

Coloring a comics page is the part where I second-guess myself the *most*. In this case, I'm setting up a look that should last across a whole project. Anyone got any advice or notes for how this comes across?

021

Ben Humeniuk @benhumeniuk.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

I shared part of this the other day, but after knocking out this comics spread, I'm feeling pretty excited. We're only in competition with ourselves when it comes to art, and the Ben of 10 years ago would be pleased with how far he's come. Still plenty of growth ahead, though!
