I love unflinchingly good characters. Characters so resolute and unbending in their convictions. Who put the weight of the world on their shoulders and refuse to let it slip. Who wake up every morning and choose to be good, to do good. I love it when their morals get tested but refuse to compromise. I love characters who try to be good and keep trying no matter how many times they stumble. Who see their failings and grow from them. Who make mistakes and learn. I love characters who see the error of their ways and devote their life to fixing them. Who seek atonement knowing it may never come.

I love characters who choose kindness.

My half of an art trade between myself and @gollygeedash! It's Alynne from her webcomic, The Pirate Checklist (you should go check it out, it is so much fun)! I enjoyed drawing her! 💖

whatever man i’m outta here *explodes into a cloud of bats that promptly run into the window because i forgot it was closed*

Though Vincent is often a beacon of hope and light to those around him, he secretly struggles with his own problems. Don't mind the mysterious black cat that follows him. This is based on a famous video game-originating drawing meme.

This is Vincent Abernathy, my original character from my project Wellwishers! Also, take these little Vincent-centric doodles.

she's a 10 but she secretly wants repentance and redemption arcs for all the villains

TARANZA WITH FUZZY LITTLE SPIDER PAWS... I'm passing out from cuteness. I can't see a Taranza this cute and not reblog him.

gloves off

Commissions!

I've officially opened up digital commissions for the first time! https://ko-fi.com/jazzleeillustrates/commissions Right now I have 3 slots open, and if it goes well then I'll open up for more later!

I've gotten into scrapbooking... and discovered a new kind of hoarding. 👀 Does anyone else here like to scrapbook? I'd love to hear about it! Thanks for reading episode 36 of Slices of Gremlin! If you want to get early access to the comics, and make more comics happen, please follow the link in my bio to get to my Ko-fi! God bless!

Sometimes you think you know them and sometimes when you're writing, they'll totally blindside you.

[about my own oc, who i created] in theory its possible she would say that, but we just dont know for sure

last month, my dad passed suddenly. some of my favorite memories with him were watching christmas movies together-- it's a wonderful life would make him cry every single time, and i loved him for that. i miss you dad.

So, I'm thinking of making some changes! I'm considering moving my online shop from Etsy to Ko-Fi (to cut down on fees, since their margins are better). I also may possibly change the schedule of Slices of Gremlin, and my Youtube videos, from weekly to bi-weekly so that I can stay ahead of the game more easily and keep the quality high (I also want to start working heavily toward releasing Wellwishers in the near future, and this would allow me to do more Wellwishers development work).

The new comic schedule would be a bi-weekly release (2 comics a month) and very possibly still a Ko-Fi exclusive comic as an extra for those plugged in there to enjoy (3 comics a month there)!

How do you guys feel about this?

I made some little emotes of the gremlin! What do you think? 😄 I have my process video available to watch on YouTube, and I also have a fun little talk about community along with it! Check out the link in my bio if you want to see (and follow my Linktree)! God bless!

A character arc where the character who did terrible things and regrets them is forced to live, to put one foot in front of the other and find healing, who chooses to pour goodness into the world and make the world a better place

Is more satisfying to me than a character arc where the character who did terrible things and regrets them is redeemed through death

99.9% of the time.

I came across a complication of clips from old vlog-like videos with Ian and Antony from SMOSH, and while I never actually watched their skit videos much, I thought I’d maybe find an interaction in one of the clips that would fit with Donald and Reese. Sure enough, a clip came on where the two of them are about to eat some pizza. Antony opens the box, only to stop mid-sentence and notice that a slice is already gone. And the audio that you hear is the rest.

Originally it only features the two people which is Ian and Antony, but I thought it’d be funny if I added in @toothpaste-dragon’s character Cricket to give Reese someone to try and put the blame on! I don’t think Donald’s going to buy it though… 😂

Also I keep ending up switching the styles of the eyes sometimes when I do animations. 😅 I mean, I know that it can be done on purpose for effect, but… I usually don’t do it intentionally. Oh well. 🙃

More Wellwishers-posting! This is, of course, inspired by the infamous Barbie drawing meme that circulated around. Should we free these guys or send them to the clank?

These are my original characters Vincent and Witherspoon!

I don't usually post twice in one day, but these were special circumstances... Guys, Witherspoon went outside and built a snowman. 👀 And he has a pointy nose just like Witherspoon.

what i need is a devout knight

if you make an OC that you are genuinely insane over, like you are obsessed with this freak and can't stop thinking about them, then it will rub off on other people. the virus spreads

I realized that I've never shared my favorite paintings here, so I thought I'd post a collection of them! Yes, I do paint, I just honestly haven't painted as much recently. 😂 I have these all available as prints at Jazzleeillustrates.etsy.com, too (except for the beanie baby).

I'm delirious

I'll probably redo the texturing someday, I was slightly distracted because I was in a vc with some freaks at 1am

I kind of just wanted to make that table

I am, unfortunately, not immune to the power of reformed baddies in TV! What about you -- do you love this trope as much as I do? 👀 Thanks for reading the 35th episode of Slices of Gremlin, my weekly webcomic! It currently releases every Tuesday here, on Webtoon, and on Tumblr! Please consider supporting me and the comic if you like what you see, and check out my Ko-Fi -- there's a link in my bio!

most important part of the writing process actually is when you loop a single song on max volume and stare at the word document and imagine the characters doing things for 14 hours. this is known as getting in the zone

Now that I introduced Witherspoon I can also share the art doll that I made of him last Summer! 👀 I'm honestly so happy with the result of him. I want to make more art dolls soon.

"oh sorry, i guess i was infodumping again" - sad, shy, apologetic

"you sly dog, you got me monologuing" - cool, strong, confident

This is an art that was made before I jumped on Tumblr but I thought I'd post it here for Valentine's day! 💖 Happy Valentine's day to my friends!

Here is the fourth and last design in my birthday party animals sticker set! It's a cute little capybara--and my first ever drawing of a capybara, actually! If you would like this little guy as a sticker of your own, check out my shop!

This is likely to be my favorite of the bunch, which is really a tough choice. But my eyes keep getting drawn back to this scene. It's so simple but peaceful, a journey between friends.

You can find it here 💙
