#InReverse: Meg and Harriet are both from around Toronto.

Technically, Harriet might've been born elsewhere, but that's at least where she grew up.

11. I realized I accidentally made all my MC's from other places than Port Tundari.

Daniel and his mom came from a nearby country and Matay is originally from the Dela Va homeland. And of course Koshei is a spirit from another realm

#InReverse: The only dating experience Meg has is the short time she spent dating Patricio, her late husband, before they got married. It was all pretty quick, since she was under pressure to marry.

#InReverse: Here's the concept art for Meg and Harriet. Pretty much the only well-drawn art I have of them. I have not changed the design for them since.
Harriet and Meg. On the left (from the viewer's perspective), Harriet, with dark skin, greying curly black hair and brown eyes. She's wearing glasses, purple yoga pants, a lavender shirt and a wedding ring. On the right, Meg, with light skin, green eyes and greying auburn hair. She's wearing a green sleeveless dress with pink flowers on it. Made in MS Paint.

#InReverse: Meg Lewis is a middle-aged woman who was living a normal life until she got in a fight with someone with a gun and got shot.

There was no way to save her except to use a Time Reverser on her, reversing her direction through time. (1/2)

The title is written at the top, and the author, @miwwdu-sitsom.bsky.social, is written at the bottom, but I would replace this with my name in the final version. In a mountainous region with a few cave entrances visible, there's a green dragon, surrounded by larger dragons of various colours: yellow, red, brown and white. A purple dragon is landing to join the circle. In the slightly cloudy sky, a blue dragon flies. In the foreground, Felix, wearing a blue shirt, hides behind a bush to film the scene with his phone. We see Felix's messy blond hair from the back. Made in Krita.

#FebruaryIndieComicsTalks 5: No.

6: I'm aro, so I don't really need romance in my stories. I don't usually mind it, but sometimes it's refreshing to have a story without it.

#FebruaryIndieComicsTalks 4: For my personal comic, several trans people on Reddit regularly post comics about their trans journeys; u/Lousca17 (@lousca17.bsky.social)'s Lattice comic was one of the main ones that inspired me, I think, since it's generally chronological, like I plan for mine.

#FebruaryIndieComicsTalks 3: My #InReverse comic has an ongoing story.

I've tried to structure my personal comic into episodes that are a little more self-contained, but I still want to keep it relatively chronological, and some might have stories that don't get wrapped up until later.

23. I worked on the story over time, but my core idea was inspired by real life experiences. My comic is my outlet on certain dark topics that I want to bring light to.

21. Sharing this page to avoid sharing spoilers. I do have others that may better but I love how this page turned out with all the coffee shop details.
22. My comic falls in the dark fantasy genre but can also fit into romance & drama.

19. I would say my art style is unique. I like the beautiful style of large anime eyes, but I also love adding details like more detailed noses and lips. I added those preferences together and my art style was born.

17. Both! I like to draw characters that are relatable and also attractive. I literally based Ambrosia on my own body type when I designed her. 😉

18. I enjoy drawing backgrounds just as much as the characters themselves.

16. My favorite style growing up was the Sailor Moon art style in the manga. The soft delicate features were so ethereal to me. Lately I've been a sucker for any unique style that isn't the norm since everything is starting to look the same nowadays. #februaryindiecomicstalks #indiecomic #webcomic

12. If Ambrosia was to take someone on a date she’d probably take them to a botanical garden or tea shop since she loves plants and herbal tea.

13. She doesn’t have a crush at the moment.
