i think it's so much more complex than the anthropomorphised visions we have of animal traits. or maybe not because tbh it was always more about cartoon dogs for me
I love the revelations people have about their sonas and how this reflects IRL, even though mine have never gone deeper than "ohh she's a Hanna-Barbera character".
that alone tho cld activate so many things: your early experience of resonating with some exaggerated trait; the way those cartoons stood out for you from the rest of the cultural texts you could access. how the thick outlines and solid colours have freedom from the slate greyness of 1980s Britain
I'm not even an artist! If you'd asked my teachers or parents when I was a kid whether I had an aptitude for drawing they'd have laughed you out of the room. But I made myself able to draw this one dog out of sheer force of desperation to actualise this secret true vision of myself
The boy!! Iβve always really loved his design, and the way you present him always leaves a memorable impression; heβs the best (and actually partially inspired a character in one of the comic projects Iβm working on)!
I got my stickers of him in the mail today β thank you so much for those!
Iβll be sure to send it to you sometime! I might rewrite it (I wrote it as a comic strip to start β Iβm considering turning it into a traditional comic), but Iβll keep you updated!
For sure! I was super happy to see the βtoo tired to liveβ stickers again β itβs always a pleasure supporting REZQ!
that means a lot! there have been so many versions of him and different settings but this feels like the ultimate one for him bc it crystallizes so much about how shitty it is to live in the end stage of capitalism
