P1: Ares and Sylara are lying on the ground together, admiring one another.

ARES: Lara Lasher, your outfit is really cute today.

SYLARA: Yeah? Have I ever told you how sexy you look in ...

Can't have a little story without a little friction.

Though, maybe this one is a little out-of-character? I feel like Loona always goes brain-dead when she sits at that desk, regardless of t...

Zerina is so fun and tragic. I think besides Sylara, her story gets me the most teary-eyed. But it'll be awhile before we learn what her deal is.

Kinda wonder what Xander's deal is.

P1: Loona throws some painkillers into her mouth.

P2: We see her at her desk, a medicine bottle of ibuprofen next to her. She looks miserable.

Sylara is the super affectionate type, despite being kinda emo.

Originally, this whole scene was going to be a bonfire for a bunch of students interacting with each other. But that would've ...

I like that little tremble that Loona's doing. Something about Millie can genuinely terrify Loona sometimes.

I'm still learning how to draw these characters, but I really want to make a bunch of silly expressions for Sylara. She's so cute, I really want to make her goofy.

Here's the introduction to ...

Millie is kind and open-minded and caring, but she's not going to take your shit.

Loona, of course, has little self-control and is remembering the whole "actions have consequences" thing.

Maaaybe Moxxie got a little too comfortable and thought making physical contact with Loona would be okay after the night they spent together. It's a natural assumption to make, and would've been fi...

P1: Millie is looking back at Loona, with a look of contempt. She clearly doesn't like how Loona snapped at Moxxie.

P2: Loona looks back at her, startled. She realizes she's fucked up.

Talani is a fun character and I'm very excited to write more of her. She's the shortest of the three, and she was born with a stunted kuru, or queue, the ponytail that Na'vi have that allows them t...

End of Helluva Trio #1

After 106 pages, we've finally finished the first part.

I started this Patreon specifically for this comic and the hopes that I can get an income that would allow me to do art full-time, and ...

I had to play around with Loona's expression in that second panel for awhile. I didn't want her to be outright angry, but more stressed out. I was trying to find this balance of showing that she di...

Here, I tried to naturally give exposition that a new character, Itan'na, that she's a native from Pandora will be arriving and attending school together with Sylara. This SHOULD be enough context ...

This is the first establishment of Zerina having a crush on Xander... although it looks like he doesn't reciprocate (yet?). Even Haeun seems a little off-put by Zerina's forwardness.
