Dani the Carutor @ProfessionalDrawer@mastodon.art
Animal enthusiast, professional complainer and cynic, draws a comic when not working, the most introverty introvert who's ever introverted.
Whoo, #introductions ! I have no idea what I'm doing.
I'm Dani, an early 90's kid who's majority pastime consists of data entry, and paper pushing while living through an ongoing existential crisis. When life, in all it's impossible beefyness, loosens it's choke-hold on me I draw. Mostly comics.
Currently I have... many cats, too many cats! But I love all of them despite their bratty attitudes, and need to play fetch at 2am. My dream one day is to only own a couple cats, a french bulldog, and a chameleon.
My current comic is slice of life, (not so) melodrama centered around darker subjects like illness, and abuse. But also centered around self-love, and self-improvement.
If you're interested in adult "coming of age" stories, featuring a queer/LGBT+ cast, the comic can be found via my blog(title, and cover will be changed in December):

Oh god, I'm being a total spammer today!
A long time ago I posted my colouring process on the Spider Forest forum, and I finally got around to transferring it to my blog. (This isn't so much a tutorial as a "how I do this" thing)

My OCD got the best of me, so I transferred my guest art to their own section on my blog. If you ever get an itch to draw my awful TGtaHR characters, this is where I'll kiss your ass! (after I get done kissing it on my comic)

Oh wow, I drew something other than a comic page!
I was procrastinating, having a bad itch to doodle Julian in an outfit they'd like, rather than be productive. I may draw more eventually.

Just showed my comic to my uncles boyfriend, the first irl person I ever showed my comic to. I'm a little nervous to say the least.
Almost forgot to post this! Happy Yule, peeps!

Maybe my comic, with all it's vulgarity, just has a porny feel to it?
Sometimes I partially regret working on the type of comic that I have. It's neither porn nor meant for anyone under the age of 17 (in the US), & can get a little difficult or embarrassing to advertise. There's not a lot of webcomic friendly review places that take anything more intense than PG-13, & when it comes to people irl I reeeeeally don't want them to know what I draw. Hell, my mom thought I've been drawing porn this whole time, which is weird cuz she sees most of what I draw & I haven't done nudity for a long while now.
All the hands, all at once! Should I make this into a creepy sticker sheet?

During a long weekend I decided to make a banner to go with my new comic title. It's not super great, I'm honestly pretty bad at banners and titles... and lettering, but it'll do for now! #mastoart #drawing #illustration #art #webcomic #comic #indiecomic #makingcomics
Chapter 3 of my #comic , 'The Guide to a Healthy Relationship', is starting up. Check out the links if you're interested!

Hi peeps! So I wanted to start over with some fresh social media accounts while updating my #comic cover and title.
They don't have any content yet, but if you want to follow updates, and/or see #WIPs and #drawings for 'The Guide to a Healthy Relationship' check out my new blog and #twitter via the links below:

Am I the only person who cringes a bit when someone says "comic manga/manga comic"? It's like they're saying "comic comic."
Comic stuff Show more
So earlier in the month there was a thread on one of the #webcomic forums where you draw your #OC in your style, then draw them in the style of 5 artists you like. (usually full color)
I thought this would be a fun little thing to show here. Feel free to try it out if you're interested, it's pretty good practice.
I only managed to do 4 at the time, but here are the sources starting from the top left:
⚫ My style.
⚫ Moth - creator of Raining Knives - https://tapas.io/series/RainingKnives
⚫Agent Fink/Jay Fabares - creator of The Pale - thepalecomic.com

Since I don't do much outside of my comic, I may as well post wips here.
Currently working on page 7 of chapter 3 of my comic. Trying to work on my "dynamic?" paneling.

@purplePaws For a variety of body types and interesting poses I really like Croquis Cafe's image archive: http://www.onairvideo.com/photo-archive.html
Bodies in Motion has a lot of acrobatic/gymnastic poses, yeah, but a lot of other variety of action-y poses as well: https://www.bodiesinmotion.photo/
The photographic Height/Weight chart gives a lot of examples of body types at various height/weights: http://www.height-weight-chart.com/heightweight.html
And the Humanae tumblr is a fantastic resource of different faces! http://humanae.tumblr.com/random
(That link will give you a random face every time you click it, or you can go to the main blog and just scroll through at your leisure.)
Hope this helps! :)
I think I'm burnt out with my comic atm because I keep procrastinating on the page I'm finishing.
So here's a lazy sketch I did of my weird god character. I've been messing with their design for a while? They can change their form, but mostly hold a certain shape, and sorta have bones and a brain with a spine and such? So their design is has been a little tricky.
They got no genitals or reproductive organs, so I have no idea if I should mark this NSFW or not...

Alright, this is the last of the old crap I'll be posting. This drawing was done all the way back in 2011, but is still one of my favourites.

Concept stuff testing out a new design for an old character. This is Anoaie, and she is the first #OC I ever created. I'm pretty proud of the fact that I've worked with her for over 16 years since I have the world's worst short-term memory.
