Not entirely sure what pixel surgery means in this context! In any case the characters' appearances are just whatever I thought fits, but their personalities are all archetypes I've RPed at some point.
I did have some small ideas going in though, like "oh I want a guy with long hair" or "I want one of them to wear a huge bow on her head," and I did try making them all aesthetically pleasing to myself first and foremost. If I don't fuck with how a character looks then I'm not gonna feel like drawing them which is generally bad for a character in a comic.
> FRAF STUFF
I got approached by someone who was already in FRAF on xitter. The deal doesn't really require much on my end except doing what I was already doing. Honestly just peep the about page of the site lol.
I just get paid for what my merch makes, with a small cut going to the shop itself.
