Was going to make a comic about a funny ADHD situation but you know what, it wasn't funny and I cried because I'm just so exhausted before the day even starts

(I have a book linktr.ee/adhdalien/)
Kiki is standing in a messy kitchen with a plunger in one hand and a stuffed crocodile in the other. She looks deflated, saying "Why did I come to the kitchen with a plunger and a croc- no you know what I don't care." Kiki is drawn in a more detailed, black and white style, looking pretty rough and tired. Text says "ADHD isn't funny and I'm an adult and I just want to get things done. I'm tired."

I love Pina's work in the same way I love the work of Schultz & Watterson.

Kiki is such a sweet, endearing character. She fosters an immediate sense of familiarity & affection, which naturally helps immensely in a work like this!

I absolutely love these frames from chapter 1! ☺️❤️

I'm already endlessly yapping about it to all of my friends, apologies in advance.

the ADHD alien is bowing down, apologizing for posting a lot about their book the coming weeks. It reads "I feel weird doing this, but someone has said the book brought them closer with their parent, and that's what I've always dreamed of achieving" It shows a book cover with various comic pages spread out behind it

No wisdom from me this week, I don't know WHAT MY ISSUE IS (1/4)

ADHD Alien Graphic Novel / Stream here: linktr.ee/adhdalien
Two panel comic. In the left panel, the ADHD Alien character is shown from the shoulders up against a pale yellow background. A speech bubble says, “I haven’t been able to work in weeks.” Another bubble asks, “Why not?” The character quietly replies, “I don’t know…” In the right panel, the same character has watery, spiral eyes and looks distressed against a peach colored background. A speech bubble says, “I don’t know what task to do first…” Another bubble reads, “no matter what I do, I’m always behind on tasks.”

Photo of an open book amongst some fidget toys. The text says "it's hard for people to understand why small comments make me so emotional, because they can't see how many times I've been criticized for the same thing, over and over again." The ADHD Alien character is being handed a brick, in the next panel it is revealed how many bricks she already has piling up to mountains behind her.

Sorry, but I just noticed the typo when I was trying to go to the link. Luckily, it was easy to move the dot over a few spaces, but figured it might be good to have the right spot. ;v

Got my copy of @adhdalien today! So excited to share the adventures, and I couldn’t help but notice a certain image looks a lot like “Life Happens” cover by Jenny Chen (I’m sure it’s just coincidental)

When I handed in the final version of the book, I wasn't able to relax. For some reason, it suddenly hit me yesterday and I got a feeling that all the work on it was worth it. Thank you to all of you who have followed my journey, you have changed my life.

Hey y'all!
Pina will be back with her signature high-quality posts later this week, but just this once, I'm posting for her! (It was my first time using a drawing tablet, and I have no drawing experience at all 😊

You can pre-order here!: linktr.ee/adhdalien
In a completely different and less experienced art style, ADHD Aliens boyfriend takes over posting for this post. The drawing features a male character, waving and saying "Hey y'all. Aliens boyfriend here! For this post I#m taking over. I'm not an artist, so bear with me". Next to the male character, stands his version of the classic ADHD Alien drawing, a young girl with a teal blue shirt, short bob cut hair, and a triangle shaped strand of hair down the middle of her forehead. She is also sporting to yellow alien-like antennae. The same two characters as before, standing in a room drawn in the same crude way. The girl character is standing up but bent over and with her face and arms on her desk, in an exhausted manner. Even the alien antennae are drooping, with an open Ipad with a drawing program on it. Behind her in the doorway stands the male character holding a cup of coffee. The text reads: Alien works herself to the bone and was extremely exhausted lately. So, as a loving boyfriend, i decided to take over posting for a day, to give her a little break." There's an arrow pointing at the girl character, with the text "this is how i found her the other day". The room consists of a planner, with scribbles and smiley faces, a bookcase featuring books in multiple colors, an office chair, a brown desk and the aforementioned Ipad This time it's only the male character, smiling, doing a thumbs up and holding the "feeling like an ADHD alien" book. The top text says "And since providing comics for you is one of her greatest joys, this time it was my turn, first time, on the drawing tablet. I'm more of a music guy" The guy says "That being said, only 14 more days until the release! I've read it and it's legit incredible. Would definitely recommend"
