EWTA Character Bios (Patreon)

Especially With Three Arms follows Kyle and Rosa, a couple living together in the fictional city of Santa Herlinda. I love seeing little intros and fact sheets about other people's characters so I figured I'd make my own.

I wanted to note that if you've read my other comics with these characters, you might notice that Kyle looks sort of different. If I can be a little vulnerable: When I first came up with the concept of these characters about a decade ago, I had planned to make Kyle mixed race Chinese American and white, like I am. I didn't do anything with the characters and kind of forgot about them until a couple years ago when I started actually drawing TF art. At the time, I only planned to use them for a one off comic and decided to make him white on a whim because I was worried about wider appeal.

In planning this sort of reboot of the characters, it occurred to me that I've never written a character that was the same race as me before. The reasons for that I'm still trying to unpack, but I think part of doing that is to change him back to how I originally pictured him. Race isn't likely to ever be relevant to the plot anyway, so it shouldn't matter to the story, but it matters to me.
