I mostly do fantasy comics, but "Perchance Romance" is actually a contemporary m♥️m romance. I actually started another contemporary romcom, still unnamed, but I don't know where to take it yet.

Final, longest zine (40+ pgs)! mockup done. Complete story but might be continued??? Missing just a couple of pages, easy to fill but now it's time to print for Doujin X: Philippine Doujin Expo 2026 .

FINALLY A COVER! It's been slow getting back to the project after a three-day break to help out a friend at last weekend's Manila Pen Show ( a fountain pen-centric orgy of stationery!). Now to see if we can finish the final ten pages by April 11 ( and -gulp-print them out!

Hey, new Patrons, welcome and thanks very much! Posting a new preview panel in your honor: genre books with punny titles are way too much fun. www.patreon.com/c/carlaspeed...

An excerpt from my story "Perchance to Dance'. It's become longer and more complex than I expected. I changed the plot at least three times, completely switching directions each time. But now I'm really excited to finish this, and I even have plans to expand it into a full graphic novel!

Printing up a storm of short comics zines!

I'm really having fun coming up with these 2-sheet 8-page zines of my short stories. I'm gearing up to sell at DouijnX, a small convention this April 11, and I'm rushing these guys....but will I be insane and print at home?

Noticed that only American flags drape the coffins. I get the point, but it's just more evidence that only the loss of American lives matter to Americans when this guy is killing pretty much everyone.

HARLOtintin @harlotin.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

Now that the pitch I've worked on for the last month and a half is done, it's time for regular comics projects: 'David', and 'Last Wild Swan,' now centering her father and the main villain of the ballet, the Wizard Von Rothbart. The older I get, I tend to gravitate to older, world-weary characters.

Hello Ms Skinner! Quick question- your query form asks for word count, explicitly NOT page numbers. However, I'd like to query a graphic novel. What would you prefer I enter into the form? Thank you!

HARLOtintin @harlotin.bsky.social · 16/03/2026

Hello Ms Morris. Are you still doing author-illustrator graphic novel submissions? Website says yes, Query link says unlisted. And if so, do you take A/NA gn's? Thanks!

Here I go again, home printing against my better judgement . New mini-comic! I've been enjoying making short stories. Really revitalized the writing brains. #Comics #zines #artistsalley

I post a lot of fanart but you can also read my webcomics Horse & Cat and Jeepers on my website www.andrecomics.com/horse-and-ca...

Horse and Cat are roommates and they have adventures

Jeepers is a bunny who lives in a magical valley and gets involved in nonsense regularly.

Today's productivity: not much. Was in a funky daze all day. But I DID finish a query draft and some character redesigns, in case I want to shop it around. Sometimes you write a pitch to distill and refine a story idea, ands it takes your story and characters into a totally different direction.

HARLOtintin @harlotin.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

Today's pages as of 7pm! Really forced myself to sit down today, still nursing some post-surgery wounds. These pages will go up on the webcomic on NamiComi in ten days, after some rendering in glorious pink. First part uploaded here: nami.moe/t/nEuLUdM8

HARLOtintin @harlotin.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

Graphic novel pitch tip! when making the pitch, lean into the visual aspect: include small visual "pins" to punctuate each story or plot beat. My visuals are 4x6 inch sketches mounted on Google slides.The technique helps me visualize the story more than mere text would.

Heartstopper x Only Yesterday What if someone found you remarkable when you felt invisible? Introverted Sera discovers at her reunion that track star Reese secretly liked her in high school. A gentle romcom about second (or first) chances at love and life. #BluePit #BluePit💥#R #Q #LGBT #OV #YA #A

one comic page in watercolor style showing a flashback and a yellow girl handing a blue girl a keychain, then the blue girl blushing pink with a pink background forming. Voiceover on this page is the blue girl in present day saying "Well... someone one picked me up off the floor and helped me when I was down."

Comic page showing present day in a more saturated, cell-shaded style. The blue girl continues saying " So I figure I should pay it forward." Next panel shows her waving at the yellow girl, saying "See you at the con!" Yellow girl waves responding "Yeah see you there..." The next panel shows the yellow girl with a pink background, blushing and clutching her chest. The last panel has her touching her face in surprise, saying "Woah! Why's my face so warm? And why am I all sweaty? I really hope I didn't catch something..."

I wanna find more #YA/ #A / #R comics creators. Critique group, anyone? Hang out with meee! My latest comic: two 30-something besties visit an otome game-inspired fantasy ball. But what's a straight guy do in an otome world? Dance with cute male cosplayers, of course! #W #Bluepit💥 #Bluepit📖 #gn

I am struggling right now! I love writing as well as drawing comics and graphic novels, but there doesn't seem to be a market for the goofy adult-centered romance comics I want to make, thetefore I'm a bit lost as to my creative direction.

Hello #PortfolioDay ! I'm a comic artist, formerly for middle grade kids comics, now branching out to YA and Adult. I'm open to pitch collabs and fresh projects.

I'll definitely try to up the comedy. Good luck with today's pitches!

thanks! Good luck with today's pitching!

I would love to form a writing or critique group with other creators in this genre/ graphic novels! Please, contact me!

Pitchboard for my graphic novel BLESS YOU! Good Omens x Covenant if Taika Waititi wrote them:

Two rival monks desperate to remain on Earth clumsily violate the Ten Commandments (all but Thou Shall Not Kill) to repel a monk-snatching Angel; When murder proves the only deterrent, they realize: one must kill the other...

Majohn Craftsman P140 - a piston demonstrator fountain pen with an excellent slightly bouncy #8 "Sun" nib and an ebonite feed. Paired with a custom #8 Jinhao ultraflex nib from 365 Days, this is one mean flex pen meant to be tamed...or is it meant to tame *you*?

061

Lemon M1- a (brass?) piston filler fountain pen with a wide variety of nib width options, including massive 1.7 mm widths. Almost too much, even for me, so I switched the nib with a more manageable Jowo BB. The enamel lemon on the cap is a cute touch.

*Jinhao 9019*- a #8 nib demonstrator with a massive converter. The nib is fine, but it shines with a Kanwrite Flex, Noodlers, or Neponset nib: perfect ink flow that never stalls or puddles. Pair them, and you have a massive fountain pen indistinguishable from a felt marker. Yum.

021

*Noodlers Neponset*- much maligned, but fantastic bargains for their modular nature *if bought cheaply aftermarket*. They'll take almost any #6 nib. This one has a Chinese Broad Architect nib.

000

*Kanwrite Legacy*- with sizeable converters and ebonite feeds, these fountain pens are wonderful wet pens that take a wide variety of nibs. They are gushers and pair fantastically with thirsty FPR/ Kanwrite ultraflex nibs, or any B/BB nib, and Kanwrite BBB nibs.

020

I thought 2025 would be the year I achieved fountain pen peace, that I was done and could finally close my pen fund. Obviously, that didn't happen.
