Schrödinger’s call hurt me just as much as fata morgana, all these sad virtual novel girls with braided hair 🫠

I drew this a long time ago during the webcomic days, so it was fun to redraw.

I also wanted to mention I’m not with the guild, but please show these artists some support! If you enjoyed HW comics, they’ve made a new site for them! Webcomics are HARD, and the passion behind them deserves to be praised. bsky.app/profile/feat...

Ugh ugh ugh I feel so sick reading everyone’s experiences and how similar it all is. I’m so sorry you were treated that way.

OW’s with an actual publisher now that actually cares about it, and I’m really grateful for that. If you’re a young creative that signs a contract with any company, please always be wary. It’s so easy to just go with something because it seems like the only opportunity you have. It’s not, I promise!

Anyway…when I posted OW on Webtoons Canvas and got 1000% more views/follows/comments than I ever got on HW, I realized the problem wasn’t me. The problem was I just wasted 3 years of my life with a bogus company lol.

I ended up having to get professional help for my mental health. I still can’t believe I even finished chapter 2 because the burn out was so real. I always felt bad for ending the webcomic without saying much, but there was… a lot going on.

Kay Davault @kaydavault.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

I asked for new notes, but was handed off to another editor because Isa was now too busy for my comic. The new editor had very off-topic notes and clearly didn’t read the comic. I was so stressed out that I started to hate the work I was making. I was depressed. I knew I had to stop.

1220

Kay Davault @kaydavault.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

Eventually I realized they just didn’t care about every comic they had, but also that my comic MUST be bad. At the end, I ended up having a meeting with my “editors” who basically said “eh it’s not that bad but we can fix it”. Like what?? You’ve been editing my comic this whole time!

Kay Davault @kaydavault.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

HW had both digital and physical exclusivity to my work, which was wild considering they did nothing for me. My ads barely ever ran. I spend hours refreshing to see if they were, asked HW for confirmation, and was told they were definitely running. I’m sure that was a lie.

Kay Davault @kaydavault.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

I’ll talk a little about my own experiences, since I was always too afraid to say much back then. I wasn’t a big artist, and since HW hadn’t yet formed a discord, I felt like I was the only one having problems with them. I ended up internalizing that it was my fault, that I just sucked.

Kay Davault @kaydavault.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

I was only with Hiveworks for 2-3 years, but I always felt it was inevitable it would reach this point. I left before it got this bad, but it was still Very Bad even back in 2016. I wish all the artists luck and success.

It is really really discouraging rn with all the book bans (especially in TN) but I still have hope that today’s kids will ultimately know better and do better for the world. It’s just sad that some adults are trying so hard to prevent that.

Kay Davault @kaydavault.bsky.social · 22/12/2025

Book world sucks sometimes (got a homophobic review on my book’s Amazon page recently yay), but then I get emails from kids who say my book helped them and it’s their favorite thing, and I’m reminded that I don’t care about bigoted adults actually 🤷‍♀️

I was recently asked to be on the podcast The Spark, from our local Nashville library! We talk about comic stuff, how I got into it, and random Pokemon opinions. library.nashville.org/podcasts/spa...

Oddity Woods is a mystery/paranormal graphic novel that follows a girl detective and her journey to escape a ghostly world, while also solving the many mysteries behind it. Some more pages I like! (available now in bookstores!!!)

Redrew an older illustration from 2016! Chapter 2 was one of the more difficult things I've written (so far), but I hope everyone enjoys the murder mystery dinner party. > : )
