Jelly comics, as some of you might know, are my recent style of comics that I've been doing. You know, the ones where there are around 2 frames of jiggle animation. An example is included below:

My choice of art style comes from the short, sweet, and simple concept of making something cute and appealing while also trying to emphasize a slight ridiculousness of the punchline. In part to being sweet and short like a dessert, the overlapping linework makes the images appear to jiggle, hence why I chose to call them "jelly comics."

This isn't to say I've been lazy with my comic art. It surprisingly takes just as much time for me to do one of these as it does my old comics. There are expressions I can also bring out into characters that I would not otherwise be able to do with realistic depictions--such as Norway's jealousy and Hong Kong's somewhat bold nature. Plus I get to practice using my colors and chibis. Two things I'm bad at. 

I've become kind of reserved when sharing process videos here because of "reasons" but if you want to see me do a little bit of one in real-time with my sickly voice, you can click the leaf here:
