all my current comics to date :-)

 i am applying for shortbox comics online comics fair. here is my application.

if you don't know what shortbox is, i highly recommend you check out their website!

https://www.shortboxcomicsfair.com/

note: i draw digitally and traditionally. therefore, some comics are digitally drawn, and some are hand drawn on paper and scanned. :-)

also note: it says alexia in my application form, but all my comics here are signed alex as that was the name i used at the time but it doesn't reflect me anymore.  

alexia / tinyapples is my name/pen name always, so yea :-)

ok here we go, feel free to browse at your own pace!

---

short comic title:  moon girl




short comic title: oh my god my girlfriend is a cyclops!



short comic title: space girl (song by Chloe Moriondo & Frances Forever)


short comic title: flamingo (song by Kero Kero Bonito)


final example: cute short comic self bio / biography of why i'm making comics 




other examples of my art can be found on this blog.

I have more comics than this, but this is what I could fit. 

Also since some of my other comics are for a larger story I’m doing, I thought I’d stick with small contained stories for now.     Since it does say on shortbox FAQ you can’t use any previously published works or works you plan to publish later on.   I guess that’s why I used these more random examples.    That’s okay with me. 

But yes if you are so inclined feel free to check out the rest of the blog to see more art here and there. 

some nsfw art things are here and there, so be careful!
Feel free to ignore anything you don’t feel like looking at if needed. 

bye!  thanks for checking me out, and i'll write more next time :-)

Bro just my thoughts (comic stuff)

 


working on my senior thesis is a lot of work ! Also last night I was thinking about the fact that my story Little Dreamer Kyandi is rather a bit personal because when I originally wrote it, I was having a hard time, it was a difficult time in my life. So I’m considering sharing it when I’m done but just not making $ of it. I think I don’t want to make money off my art sometimes. But yes, I want to share it among people who’d like to see, may be interested, like the idea etc. :-)

Kyandi and Aka’s dynamic as a starting point is very funny to read looking back at my story 



But for senior thesis class I’ve been adapting it into a comic anyway, just because it’s easiest for me to use what I already have instead of coming up with something new on the spot lol (which I could if I wanted but I was gonna make Little Dreamer Kyandi into a comic anyway! So why not)

But um so I have ideas for other story concepts. One is the Bunny story but that is very different from what I’ve been writing and my writing style— because it is a horror story. I don’t usually write horror, so it’s different. It’s similar concept wise to something like Elfen Lied or Jennifer’s body as those were some inspirations for it. 


trigger warning- there is some blood in my Bunny drawings.  (She is a dangerous woman haha)





But yea I don’t know. I’m just considering my options at this point. Going to SVA, going to art school is one thing but putting these elements into practice is another. I guess that’s the way it goes.


Anyway I’m gonna sign off but I’ll write more later!

Thanks! Also Halloween is coming up!

 (I still haven’t thought of what I want my costume to be lol) (I’m considering making my own costume from scratch like sewing an outfit of a character but IDK that would take a while and time is ticking!)


SEE YOU ON HALLOWEEN!!!!! :-D

Finished my lesbian frog plush :-)

 Finally finished!!!!  My lesbian froggy = COMPLETE!





Bro I am so happy with how she turned out! She has freckles so I think I’m gonna name her Freckles… haha :•) sort of like the animal crossing villager who is a pink duck named Freckles, lol


^^^ that be Freckles from animal crossing heh


Anyway I’m very satisfied and I will keep crocheting. She’s much cuter if you see in person, she’s squishy and soft too… very nice on the hands :-) a soft froggy, she’s amazing!


Also, since she’s a lesbian froggy maybe I’ll make her a girlfriend hehe :-) in another color or something maybe pink or red or yellow, as ideas! 


Thanks for reading! Byeee

MY DESK BUDDY :-)

 Hi !!!!! Asuka nendo came. I want to get the clothes for her, that are already available. 

Though I could also sew some myself…haha :-)




…also I drew Crona 💜



…also I finished the first tapestry crochet project— my first finished tapestry crochet 🧶 



…also I made a cool stop motion animation for a Charlie XCX song “spring breakers” with my awesome Harley Quinn crochet doll hehe


…also some new doodles





















Mkay so otherwise I’ve been thinking of ideas for more crochet dolls, I have a list I’ve been going off of yea :-) I’m almost done with my recent stuff and then I can move on and start new projects! 


Later I may post better more consistent photos of all my crochet dolls, amigurumi + plushies, and even some other things like clothes, doll clothes, patchwork squares/granny squares, blanket/tapestry/image to crochet grids, or even household items + Zakka?  

…In Japan there’s a crochet trend called Zakka and it’s essentially household goods or items you use everyday, but CUTE :-) cute + functional :-D if you’re not sure what I mean, you can look up on google “Zakka crochet” and you can find articles, even Pinterest boards on some ideas for Zakka. It’s great!


When I do post my crochet collection of stuff I’ve made it’ll be organized mostly, so feel free to look out for it, if you want! 


Ok that’s it for now, see ya!
