nerdy by nature refs !!!!

Instructions

here are the refs for storyboards, bg samples, and more !! char notes arlo: autistic (mid on spectrum), linette’s love interest, the red/pink is dye, and works at nerdy by nature. he is bi and had a boyfriend prior to the comic. based on my autistic twin :D (edit: he has an over arms stim, where your arms go around your neck and kinda rub together? kinda hard to describe but that’s my brother’s stim. he also chews his claws) linette: cottagecore cat in love with arlo !! a photographer, and has body dysphoria (unfortunately, that will come into play later) she also had a boyfriend prior to the comic and is a straight ally !! bellatrix: punk witchcore, aro/ace, bellatrix shops at nerdy by nature quite often so she’s quite good friends with ge-ge. bffs w/ linette. I would imagine Bella making some jokes abt being aro/ace while linette is head over heels for arlo. (lol) ge-ge: a nerdy by nature employee who is fond of arlo and bellatrix. she is stubbornly undecided about linette tho. i have changed her from omni + gray to genderfae + gray. she’s not in hs anymore, around 18 while the others are in 10th-11th grade. Her tail and afro are dyed green. btw: individual color swatches will be made later thanks @Pineapple-puddin for giving me a clean version of rat !!!!! I'M NOT CRINGE FOR ADDING HASHTAGS YOU ARE!! #art #lgbt #lgbtqia #autismawareness #anthro #comic
