While I’m still working on the next page and some potential doodles :>
Here is a post of some references for Maríanne’s outfits because I didnt want to to obstruct the comic pages 😭:
1. Maríanne’s day dress, I changed the color because personally, blue didn’t suit her
2. I literally looked up 1920s farmers dress, the blue dress is more or less her uniform.
3. This is the brown cardigan she wears on her life on the road
4. I couldn’t find the exact dress but this is the one that I found closest to the one I drew for baby Marí (I forgot to save the image ;-;)
5. I believe this is the reference I used (I forgot to save this one too…) and the og color was green but since I wanted her “darker moments” to appear more monochromatic it didn’t show up :>

IT STILL WORKS! WE MUST SHOW APPRECIATION FOR BOTH SIDES OF HER CULTURE!! 🔥🔥
Hispanic heritage month is upon us
So I kidnapped this super cool Veracruzana from @ahhhh-118 to represent (REPRESENT BABY WOoO!)
Some insight into the designs and fashion of the 20s would be so cool, especially since it's kinda hard these days to sift through just costume listing :'0
Yeah, sadly, the usefulness of a Google search is greatly diminished these days. You can still find articles written by actual human beings and genuine historical garments, but you have to wade through a lot of junky costumes and AI bullshit to get there. I can't possibly fully explain 1920s fashion here, though. It's a broad enough topic to write a sizable book about...which is why people have written many books about it. Check out some books. There are things you can get pretty cheap from resellers, everything from academic screeds about the politics behind the fashion trends of the time, to clothing catalogue compilations from the 20s, to giant coffee table books full of glorious photos.
Here's a PDF version of one of those clothing catalog collections. There's an entire preface about 1920s fashion in general too.
There are some pretty well made blogs about the topic out there as well. Vintage Dancer is one of them. The front of the site is unfortunately kind of cluttered with ads for costume apparel and modern clothing inspired by the 20s, but scroll past that to the historical bits and you'll find pertinent things.
There are some great fashion YouTubers too, like Karolina Zebrowska. Although she's not focused heavily on 1920s fashion, she talks a lot about early 20th century fashion in general. She also talks a lot about the historical context of those fashions.
Also, try online museum displays. The Met Museum has a searchable collection, for instance. Look up 1920s fashion, 1920s dresses, 1920s suits, etc.
Cameras were popular and accessible in the 1920s. Look at pictures of what people actually wore. You can find these images in free government photo archives, or licensing libraries like Getty Images (you don't have to license anything to look at it). And there's always Shorpy. Poor old, underappreciated Shorpy. Their archive is searchable.
THANK YOU HELDIG *consumes all of the sweetest cookies* 🥺🥺❤️ This is so sweet!
ALSO I LOVE MARÍ IN THE STYLE, SHE LOOKS SO ADORABLE 🥺🥺
THE COLORS ARE SO PRETTY AND THE GEOMETRIC SHAPES!! IT GIVES ME NIGHT IN THE WOODS VIBES
recently read through the entire Lackadaisy webcomic + extra comics, and I think I'm in love with this series.
The artwork is amazing, and the story is fantastic.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAURA!!!🎉🎉❤️
I made a little portrait of her for @rudnitskaia as a gift to celebrate her charming LackaOC Maura!
She is such a fun and amazing character and Heldig, you are such an awesome person!❤️ Thank you for being so welcoming to me when I first posted about Maríanne!❤️❤️
I hope you enjoy this gift!
Also Maríanne is inviting Maura for drinks 🤠
(Please keep her away from the bunny hugs. Please. 😭)
Page 5-6 - Page 9-10 (WIP)
OFC ❤️❤️ it’s always fun to challenge yourself!!
And omg yesssss, I can imagine that!! Maríanne would just be screaming or be doing some drunk dancing while on their adventure 😭😭 Lmao
15, 17, 70 on the OC question list for Maura!
Curious to hear more about her :D
Thank you so much for your questions, dude, it was very fun to draw! 😄 Sorry I was so slow with it, though. x)) I promise to work on the answers to your other questions faster! :3
Old man birthdayyy >:0 (the art looks fantastic!)
I know Im a bit late but ey, better late than never right?
Happy Birthday to our beloved bartender, Viktor Vasko!!
(I know the way I drew Viktor looks terrible and a lil inaccurate, I had no reference that time 😭😭)
A LACKADAISY ZOMBIE AU???? UH— HELL YEAH
I posted the top part a while ago but never provided the context. Basically an elaborate meme I never got around to finishing. Mordecai would definitely be the last survivor in a zombie apocalypse. Honestly though, I don’t think I’ll finish it. I got bored 😬 figured maybe someone would find it a bit entertaining, despite the horrible rendering.
Enjoy drunk college girl and sausage link boy zombies.
