A Funny Little Conversation That Happened Between Me And My Little Brother! I Hope You Enjoyed Episode

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!

I wanted to make a fresh new Meet the Artist sheet for 2025! What do you think about it? 🎉🎉🎉 If anyone is stumbling upon my blog for the first time--hi, I'm Jazz! I am a Christian artist who loves to draw colorful and kitschy stylized art. I have a passion for comics and I currently release a weekly web comic called 'Slices of Gremlin'! I have more projects ahead on the horizon as well.

I have a Discord community for creatives, Christians, and/or fans of my comics! Anyone is welcome to join--if you are interested, please join!

My art hashtag is #jazzleeillustrates! If you want to filter the blog for my art only then use that tag.

Hello! I am a Christian artist who loves to paint and draw!

A little bit of fun at my local lake with my little brother and his remote control boat! I hope you enjoyed this week's installment of 'Slices of Gremlin'! I am going to continue updating every Tuesday, and if you would like to support the comic and get early access, you can sign up to be a member of the 'Little Creature Club' on Ko-Fi!

I like him, he's my friend :)

Ta-da! Here is the Christmas card design I made for this year (if you are a close friend or family member, then you've seen this design already 👀👏)! I enjoy hand-making a new design for my cards every year. I have this available as a downloadable card and a print if you'd like it for your own! Just follow the link in my bio, or go to jazzleeillustrates.etsy.com! God bless!

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?

Life lesson: it's always handy to have a Mermaid in the car! This fun exchange happened between me and one of my close friends. 😊 If you liked this comic, and want to see more, please check out the series on Webtoons! I have a goal to keep updating it every Tuesday morning.

Thanks for reading episode #37 of Slices of Gremlin -- ("Fwoomp")! ...And for being patient as we change to a bi-weekly schedule for the present (I need to update the Webtoon graphic)! Do you ever have a day when you feel like going fwoomp? God bless!

And YES, more than half of these tropes fit Discord, that's why I cannot shake this scrunkly even 10+ years later...

(Especially since I really love the headcanons that say Discord was an artifically created being/homunculus... it's not canon but... it's not not canon either)

Some of my favorite tropes!

(just for the heck of it)

Character who starts out as an antagonist/villain and goes through a redemption arc

^ The above, but after they are redeemed, they still struggle to integrate in with 'the good guys' and have a long road of earning the trust of others

Homunculus/artificially created being who is misunderstood by others/longs to understand humanity

^ Especially when they are good but were created by someone evil

As an alternative take, a homunculus/artificially created being who was made by someone very good and struggles to live up to their creator's light

A very hard to get along with/seemingly jerk-y character who is actually extremely loving and sensitive deep down, and it shows around the people they trust

Siblings who are mirrors of the other (what they might be, could have been, and wish they were), who understand each other more deeply than anyone else but struggle to reconcile themselves to one another

Villains/antagonists who give the hero a terrible time but are actually really kind and considerate to their own associates (has a found family with all of their henchmen, has really good healthcare benefits and perks for their workers, is able to upkeep positive relationships and is actually respected)
