HAHA THANK YOU this is one of my favourites so far. He just wants to help...

You get it! He's our manipulate mansplain manson!

I still haven't decided exactly what area Sorrel is from and I don't want to treat all Scottish accents like a monolith, either, but OTOH that aspect of his character was heavily influenced by Peter Capaldi being my go-to "crotchety old man voice" when I was talking about him, so- that, worn down

Not exactly, because he's been living in the US for 100~ years, so it's been tempered by a mix of intentionally toning it down to be understood and unintentionally becoming Americanised over the years via exposure- but it's been going the other direction lately since he found Scottish TikTok lmao

HEHh I love those panels so much... hovering trying to give her space but also feeling like he should be Doing Something... and also 😔 yeah. Yeah. Worst news of your life and you can't even go outside and scream about it because the sun's up,

Lake holds a funky 70s-style flower power orange drinking glass, half-filled with water and a drinking straw. He stands in front of the door to the room Heliotrope is in, raising a hand to knock, then pulling back, rubbing his head in thought, and nervously attempting to knock again. Sorrel appears behind him in a swirl of mist, partly streaking through his long flowing hair. “Lucky, when a girl yells at you to leave her alone, y’should probably let her alone.” The sudden appearance startles Lake into jumping and spilling some of the water on his hoodie. “Thanks,” he mutters, deadpan, as Lake floats beside him with a grin, his hands in his pockets and his lower legs still dissipated into vapour. Lake: “I just thought she might want some water to replace fluids after all the crying, you know-? I forgot to tell her we need more than just blood…” Lake shakes drops of the spilled water off his hand as he glances away. “How long after she wakes up until she does need blood? I don’t remember… She got hurt pretty bad… does that change anything…?” Sorrel listens with a raised eyebrow as he sets foot on the floor.

Sorrel leans against one of the many, many framed portraits which have been lining the walls of every room at the vampire manor seen so far. He crosses his arms and closes his eyes dismissively. “She just found out her parents’re dead, I doubt a bellyful of lukewarm blood is what she wants right now. She’d likely throw it back up. Remember your first feed? Shocking.” Lake shoots him an unimpressed look. “You’re being edgy again.” Sorrel, sincerely: “Oh, am I? Sorry.” Lake takes a beat to look down and away before lifting his eyes to Sorrel again. “Should I not have done it? You always said-” Sorrel interrupts him, meeting his eye. “That’s a useless question [to ask] yourself. If she’d been carted off in a regular ambulance, she’d still have to figure out how she was going to cope without her parents. You did what you thought was best. That’s all you can ever do.” Lake looks down, glass still in his hand. He doesn’t say anything else, nor does he make a move to knock. Sorrel watches him out of the corner of his eye for a while before deadpanning “Far as I’m concerned that was child abuse anyhow. Who names a kid Heliotrope?” Lake points a finger at him, defensive- “I think Heliotrope is a nice name-!” From inside the room, Heliotrope yells out, “Stop talking about me!!” Both men freeze and stare at the closed door. Busted.

Lake creaks open the door and takes a peek inside, nervous. Heliotrope is sitting on the floor in the middle of the room with her knees tucked up to her chest, though her back is facing the door, so not much can be seen besides her mop of hair. Lake leans into the room to gingerly place the glass of water (or what’s left of it) on the nearby fireplace mantle, but Heliotrope says “Wait,” startling him into snatching his arm back like a socially awkward praying mantis. She doesn’t say anything else, but also doesn’t tell him to leave, so Lake opens the door wider to step in, pushing aside a book which had been thrown against the door. As he steps further into the room, an aerial shot reveals that Heliotrope has taken out her emotions on some of the furniture; there’s a smashed vase with scattered dried flowers, and books strewn from the bookshelf; the chair Sorrel had been sitting in has had its arm rest torn off and tossed aside; a pillow or mattress has been torn leaving small downy feathers everywhere. Lake ignores all of that to focus on Heliotrope. He stands behind her for a moment, fidgeting with his hands, before sitting himself down cross-legged on the floor behind Heliotrope.

Eats it. Thank you

crumpled paper reading "Nice OCs"

Throws a rock through your window with a note attached to it

I spot some Quindrie Press titles in there! Shopping locally is a great way to avoid shipping and customs fees, and Little Deer Comics has a great stock of our books (and LOADS more) for Dublin folks.

CUUUTE AWAWAWA

lorn looking unamused. making a heart shape with his hands

AW thank you so much, you're so kind! I do love working in B&W but I have endless respect for people who can pull off colour comics, and your colours are so juicy and harmonious, it's one of the things that first drew my eye!
And agreed- I think the way comics don't credit "assistants" misleads ppl!

Of course! I had actually read a chunk of Solanacea so I was super surprised when I first saw Battam pop up in my notifications HAHA

Omg 👀You'll be unstoppable!!

I just realised my math was off LMFAO but your point is still absolutely correct, thank you for the reminder! I think it's easy for webcomic creators to fall into a trap of comparing themselves to mainstream serialised comics, forgetting that they usually have teams behind them, as you said.

Wait I beefed the maths because I forgot that part 1 didn't just poof into existence the day I published it and that I in fact did spend time working on it LMFAO. So it was more like 5.5 months. Post canceled everybody I'm the comics snail. Let's get schmoovin 👏👏

But you yourself have published a staggering amount of comics!! So 🫵 et tu, Comicus

I think I might be comparing myself unfavourably to like, published manga authors,LOL. I'll admit when I finished part 2 and realised that if I updated at one page a week, I'd have an entire year's worth of updates already done, I did have a record-scratch moment

Some day we'll be robots. Imagine

🤔 but what if I could go faster...

Sometimes I feel like my progress on Silver & Iron is too slow but then I look back and realise that I've drawn roughly 100 pages of comic in 4 months and I think that's actually a bit higher than the average lol

drawing of modern au hubert, with a funny view from above - as if he's some little bug under a lifted rock - looking up on the viewer, with his scary little stare. he's in his raincoat, has a pierced eyebrow, cross necklace and he holds a cup of coffee in blue color, from left and right side of the picture, there's a distorted copies of the same hubert. on the background there is pedestrian crosswalk marks

why did bertie cross the road?

Looove the silhouette/gesture in this

Fading to black but it’s just for complicated action scenes while all the sex scenes are written in full

😔 It's really been like that. I hope you get the time & energy to draw them again soon 🫂
