Retrospring is shutting down on 1st March, 2025 Read more
Hi! I'm Mouse, and I draw my characters Bub and Rex, and tell stories about their adventures! 18+ friendly (minors DNI)
512
HELLO this is going to sound extremely specific but i have to know. did your tumblr used to be called thisismouseface and did you design a henchman 21 body pillow? i saw ONE photo of it and have been searching for you hahaha
The actors!au still lives rent free in my head, like it's so good to think about these two co-stars ending up banging behind the scenes and in camera while they act out the story like hhhhhhhh
In Bub and Rex bounty hunters, does Rex inherit his powers or does Asmodeus give him his powers like in the comic
i've been sitting on this ask for two months now, letting it rack my brain haha. as you probably know I'm always reluctant to cast things in stone or say things as "word of god" for my stories. I'm still trying to figure a lot out about this new world and setting and story. How the characters intermingle and what their histories with each other are like and such, and I always get insecure that I'll say something is canon now and then change in down the line haha.
but at any rate- right now I'm really gelling with the idea that Rex's soul is spoken for, but not of his own doing. Something along the lines of his mother making a deal with a devil, promising that devil her first born, and that firstborn being Rex...
I also like the idea of that devil being Asmodeus, and part of Bub and Rex's mutual goal is to face Asmo and free Rex's soul from his clutches :)
There are some things that you can find if you look for them that will protect your art from being able to be picked up by ai trackers, I can’t remember what it is cause I’m really high but if you look for it you’ll find it
Hi! Sorry, but this is kind of not related to your characters, but has your Picarto streams been saving lately? My schedule has been so busy and lately I haven’t been able to join because of that. If the streams aren’t being saved would you mind doing that in the future? I love your streams and miss seeing you draw your beautiful art
Picks your characters up in my mouth and shakes them like prey
wondering: do you have a broad picture of what magic looks like in bub & rex’s world? is there any media/magic system you’re using as a point of reference, or which have influenced your thinking?
i am DEFINITELY inspired by 5e D&D at the moment. I’m pretty bad with worldbuilding and magic-rules, so I am heavily leaning on my very limited knowledge of what magic in that universe looks like, at least with regards to warlocks and their patrons. it’s definitely giving me somewhere to start atm
Have you ever imagined what Bub would look like as a woman?
YESSS I’ve been really meaning to play with some genderbend/ciswaps lately but I just haven’t gotten around to it. I think that was one of the last things I sketched in my sketchbook but I didn’t like it.
just…imagining a big boobie’d bad butch bubba…..effervescent
rex would be a knockout, too
First off love your work and your characters. How do they react to someone flirting with the other
thank you!
Bub can get very defensive of someone messing with his “property.” He’s very possessive and doesn’t like to share. Meanwhile, Rex is quite the Cassanova and turns up the charm quite often. He uses it to his advantage to sweeten the pot or to mnaybe get extra information he otherwise wouldn’t have access to, much to Bub’s chagrin.
so, in the new story, is bub's mom still around? how did she and her dad meet in this world?
Do you wish your characters from BadBeat could meet us if, They would've found a portal or warphole into our universe?
Hello Mouse! I am a longtime fan of your comics, your talent amazes me! I want more of these cool comics, I can sit and read them for hours, I had a question how long does it take to draw characters and comics?
aw thank you so much! I really appreciate you telling me!!
as for your question, it's more like two separate questions. Drawing a character can take me anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on how much rendering and detail I'm adding. My style is fast and loose, so speed is my goal.
as for comic making, that itself is a bit of a nebulous question, as well. How long does it take me to draw a comic? A couple days, from sketch, to lining, to coloring, to type setting. how long does it take me to write a comic? a year or more lol. The whole process is multifaceted, and I would call myself relatively "fast" at making comics, but I've truly burnt myself out over and over again over the years, so I'm putting comics down for a little bit while I focus on myself for a while. I think speed is the wrong thing to focus on when making comics. I think consistency would be a better goal.
