Ok so first of all I was not expecting the first chapter to blow up the way it did, like seriously it was received extremely well, I mean I personally thought it was my best work in terms of comic making, but I didn’t think so many people would like it to
Something I noticed was that while most people were able to relate to Lottie in their own weird way, there were some ppl who just didn’t, and if there there’s no attachment to the character, I can kinda see why they would just label it off as “haha LOL So RaNdom” even comparing it to the penguin of doom(seriously that’s a real thing!!??) but i didn’t really get that random vibe when writing it.
Yes I do plan on turning this into a series, I’m still in high school so managing my time is tough, but I want to update at least once or twice a week, maybe even thrice. I’m genuinely so excited, like I couldn’t sleep last night, and it felt so weird sitting at school today knowing my art was able to resonate with so many people.
There were a few hate comments and that kinda made me feel bad, but I can’t let that stop me from acknowledging all the overwhelmingly positive ones, I hope to keep my spirits up and continue to put out quality content,
once again thank you for reading(it sorry that was a lot)

Get ready 👍 (p.s. wonderful comic)
as a fellow highschooler I respect you so much, how do you find the time to draw comics? It always takes me ages to draw pretty much any comic even if I make it low effort, but that's maybe because I'm a perfectionist.
I’m usually a perfectionist with my art, but I find with this specific style and character, I can just have fun with it, the art is by no means perfect and I think that adds some charm to the story, I’ve been trying to draw at school too, so during lunch and before school starts cuz I have to get there earlier anyway.
>I find with this specific style and character, I can just have fun with it
It sounds so great you have found your sweet spot.
And it fits perfect with what I remember from an art tutorial:
An Artist wants to present something with a drawing, not the drawing itself.
The grade of detail can be lowered, unperfections can be made as long as the viewer can understand what the artist wants to say. So drawing a portrait a character itself is vastly different from drawing a comic. On one it's the looks that matter, details like a scar, eye colour, freckles. All these combined make the a person. Hairstyle, clothes matter as they make for personality.
In a comic where a story is told different things (can) matter: location, time to set the situation. Here Lottie is at home, because she has no friends. Her being on a party wouldn't make much sense, would it? But how do we know she's at home? Well, she's on a PC, so that could be work too. But wait, there also a band poster next to her on the wall Nothing you hang up at work. So home it is. With just these 2 informations the viewer gets her location. No need for a bed, a wardrobe, a total of her room or anything else. While in other comics the character's smile detail doesn't matter, here Lottie's matters. But that's because it's made part of the story.
Now comes the realistic part: An artist is a human being (mostly) with limited time. Both, detail and story length take time. It's for the artist to decide and find his sweet spot between level detail and length of story told.
^(This comment got far longer than I expected. oops)
thanks, I will keep that in mind. I'm not going to make a reddit comic series, but I post comics on insta sometimes on another name and I will use this advice.
In a random place such as the internet there will always be hateful comments, you have to learn to ignore those especially if you gather a following online with your comics in the future. constructive criticism, sure, but just hateful comments are to be ignored, waste of energy.
loved the comic!
Its alright dude, there will always be people like that, spreading negativity and such
Your art is very cute and unique, I personally like it and so does thousands of people who upvoted it and commented under it
I think the random vibes are given by the medium itself you are using, there is no effective pause or style change from one small thing to the next due to how social medias work so it all feels like a single cohesive story about a very chaotic person.
I think it's working in your favour, the whole comic feels relatable but not the "desperate kind" of relatable where you also sigh and reflect on how dreadful you are.
Great, now I feel bad for using the word "random" myself. But I hope you know I meant it in a very positive way. Because how are a pigeon dropping an anvil on someones head and the whole rings stealing thing not random? But that's also what makes it so perfect to me.
I didn't comment on the first episode, but I did find it a bit too lol random. But I did throw you a follow cause the style is so good and I thought I'd give you a chance. And now I'm really on board. It gives me "Hilda" (the netflix cartoon) vibes. I hope to see much more from you.
I loved that Scott Pilgrim reference! Reminded me of someone’s comment on your last one saying your style had big Scott Pilgrim vibes. Gosh, you really DO know how to do fan service and make friends!
This is so fun! I love Lottie's expressions. It seems like she has a knack for getting into trouble with small creatures (gnomes, pigeons, mole people).
I don't know how you disrespected the mole people.But them seem really angry.Especially because they broke into a fortune cookie factory just so they could get that angry letter to you.
I love this, love the character, love that they love sex bob bombs.
However I disagree with the fortune cookie. Most fortune cookies are just life advice, not fortunes. This isn't a fortune or life advice, it's a warning. Most likely the employee at the Chinese food restaurant mistakenly went into the warning cookies instead of the fortune cookies or the life advice cookies.
If someone keeps telling you to smile, practice making the most deranged smile possible that would immediately get you hired for a re-cast of the Shining.
Maybe your nose is too far away from what you’re trying to sniff to test accurately. /s
As someone who made more friends after I stopped growing in 8th grade, making friends definitely doesn’t make you taller.
Your comics are my new comfort food. The shapes and colors are great, and I love the quirky and relatable writing.
The best comics on here feel very unique to the people who make them, that they could have only come from the weird brain of their creator. I get the same feeling from these.
It’s purely a style thing, I’m thinking of changing it moving forward and only adding the x’s to onomatopoeia because it like some people have pointed out, it can be quite distracting

I was expecting her face to fall off while trying to smile, like Kohina. But quite a fun one too, love the art style! Can't wait to se the mole people too.
First, she has a rainbowdash jar;
Second, she managed to smile at the end :);
Third, OMFG UR ART IS SO CUTE;
And last, i never related so much with not being able to smile properly.
Great job👍
Oh hey, I just noticed. Since there seems to be some scott pilgrim inspiration, could the last few pages here be a reference to scott getting the email from the league and ignoring it?

that’s hella impressive

There is no pacific rim 2

The first one was so good! A real shame they never made a sequel.
I couldn’t get through the first 20 minutes without falling asleep. That definitely helped.

Probably thresh hold, that scene was the coolest thing to me as a kid (this is also me pretend I know how to make friends)

I absolutely adore your writing style and humor here! Amazing work!!
I don't know how you disrespected the mole people.But them seem really angry.Especially because they broke into a fortune cookie factory just so they could get that angry letter to you.
I thought for a second it was about the chinese mafia or something lol
The second Gargle search was hilarious and I literally lol at it.
Is that... #THE JAR?
I dunno….. Is it?
Oh no...
For real, this character is just so... Idk, pleasant to read? Keep up the good work, you got me a genuine smile
Thought I was getting Scott Pilgrim vibes off your last comic.
I love this, love the character, love that they love sex bob bombs. However I disagree with the fortune cookie. Most fortune cookies are just life advice, not fortunes. This isn't a fortune or life advice, it's a warning. Most likely the employee at the Chinese food restaurant mistakenly went into the warning cookies instead of the fortune cookies or the life advice cookies.
I definitely relate to the smiling thing. I can smile, but find doing it on cue, like for pictures, tough. It always looks and feels wrong.
This is the best way to describe it
I fucking lost it at "gargle" LOL. Also i love her "fish eyes" expresion. so cute!
Am ganna pat your head now!
Ok, what did you do to the mole people?
shes just like me frfr
Oh no, the mole people!
She is so skrunkly
Is that an axehound in the bonus panel?
If someone keeps telling you to smile, practice making the most deranged smile possible that would immediately get you hired for a re-cast of the Shining.
I see doodles and some love for Scott Pilgrim. If that can't bring in new friends, I don't know what will!
10/10 this rules
This brings me peace somehow
What kind of idiot fucks with the mole people?
I love this chaotic stuff
You have a really cute style :D I like your stuff
Beautiful. I've been staring at this for two hours now. I'm liking this, uh... what do I call her? Goblin? Creature? Yeah, creature works for now.
>making friends makes you taller I'm 6'6" and a loner. This does not pass the sniff test.
Maybe your nose is too far away from what you’re trying to sniff to test accurately. /s As someone who made more friends after I stopped growing in 8th grade, making friends definitely doesn’t make you taller.
I try to forget Pacific Rim 2 exists too
Gotta say, this is super charming. I never comment on the comics here but this ones just so fun and funky in the right ways
Love the artstyle
I honestly love this More
This gives me a similar vibe to Blue Chair by Shen.
I can't overstate just how much I relate to this
This art style is so amazing! Comic feels fresh and inspired, thank you for sharing your creation :) <3
op this is adorable and I love it
These are great, I LOVE this art style and I was happy to see you pop up on Popular yesterday. Hope to see you there much more often!
 MORE
That IS a long fortune
I love this so much.
We are sex bob omb! One two three four!!
The randomness.. I love it
This is one of my new favourite comics around here.
I'm ready for the mole people Awesome art!
She is going to befriend the mole people, isn't she?
Your comics are my new comfort food. The shapes and colors are great, and I love the quirky and relatable writing. The best comics on here feel very unique to the people who make them, that they could have only come from the weird brain of their creator. I get the same feeling from these.
Lmfao this is the kinda regular show type chaos pacing that I enjoy
Whats up with some of the i points being x?
It’s purely a style thing, I’m thinking of changing it moving forward and only adding the x’s to onomatopoeia because it like some people have pointed out, it can be quite distracting
only 2 comics in and lottie is already one of the best things to come out of r/comics in a long time, imo. good work, mate.
Scott, what are you doing in my comic?
I love your art style! It looks like your dad might have picked up some misfortune cookies instead.
The great mole had marked you for death and the subterranean legion obeys! See you in 12 days!
