A little while before I had started writing Bobby's Rainy Day Adventure, I started creating this comic. I eventually got frustrated with it because creating the pictures felt like it was holding up the story I wanted to tell. When I started writing Bobby's story, most of the ideas from Alex's story went into it. I may eventually start on the comic again, but I thought I'd present what I had so people could see the seeds of Bobby's story. Enjoy!

Excellent! This would ...
... make an awesome web comic. Congrats on this and on "Bobby" too.

Well drawn!
Great stuff, Heather! I'd certainly like to see you continue with this. Have you ever considered doing commissions? There are a lot of us who would like to add some illustrations to our stories.

Very Good Heather! Impressive
.. that you can draw as well as write. I'm quite sure your drawing has improved much since these as well. I know for a fact your writing has! Great story conception. If you have time play with this, please doodle it on when you can. You seem to be doing extremely well and have great talent within you!!!!!!!!!! If I could do half as well I would be lucky :)
hugs so much

As someone who's done comics and webcomics, I'm very impressed!

I loved this one too!
Very good pics and a storyline that hints that Alex will be in skirts soon! Please continue this one!

hauntingly pretty art
There doesn't seem to be enough here to comment on the story yet, but I do like the way it's presented.
Your panel layouts are dynamic and interesting, and the fascinating drawing style seems to resemble woodcuts. Particularly, the big black, almost alien-esque eyes lend an eerie quality to the scene that adds an aura of forboding.
The Crossgender Misadventures of Alex...
...may eventually get started up again with a slightly different story line than the one I had originally lifted from it and used in Bobby's Rainy Day Adventure. I've recently been thinking of some new ideas and have been getting the itch to start drawing again.
I've actually done artwork for another writer's stories before, but I never tried asking any other authors if they'd be interested in an illustration. I guess part of the problem is there might be some stories I might feel uncomfortable illustrating (like stories that had humiliation, sex or violence as a main theme), and I'd worry about insulting someone if I turned them down.
I'd like to thank everyone for all your wonderful comments. I won't make any promises yet about continuing this comic yet, since I'm not sure if I have enough of a new story yet to go anywhere with it. But I do promise that if things start popping again, I'll include updates to Alex's story here. :)

Nice drawing.

Thank you!
While I probably don't have the time or energy to continue this comic, I have been itching to draw again. At the moment, I'm working on a new panel for "My Transgender Childhood", and hope to upload it soon. :)
