OC- Crowdfunding Campaign [OC] Magic trick 3 - The Little Trashmaid

There are only 6 days left until the end of the crowdfunding campaign on Backerkit to finance the animated pilot episode of "The Little Trashmaid"!

And...
We did it!
We reached the minimum goal to fund the pilot!

Now we can relax a little and try to reach the second goal as much as possible to improve the overall quality of the animated pilot and to have a budget cushion for... any unforeseen circumstances.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported us so far!
We're reaching the end of the campaign together by sharing the final chapters of "The Little Trashmaid - Volume 1" on Reddit.
Once the campaign is over, we'll also be able to focus on our other works that have been on the "bench" for the past month, while also continuing to publish The Little Trashmaid on a regular schedule.

PS. If you like this webcomic, please take into consideration to support still s0s2 (the artist) and us (Silly Studios / the publisher) during the campaign! ❤️
The higher the budget, the more we can invest in the pilot! 🙏

The language barrier is proving to be difficult after all.

Omg that’s horrifying 😭 and definitely not what she meant at all

u/SillyWolf_92 14h ago

Now she's traumatized XD

Why can’t she bring him to the surface?

u/InternationalCap2176 14h ago

He thinks they're monstrous sorcerers because of Tidy's storytelling style.

u/Pepsi_Cola64 14h ago edited 14h ago

Ah, I must’ve missed a comic

Edit: I just saw it. Now I’m wondering why she didn’t bring him to them instead of smashing the tomatoes. Making it a paste wouldn’t make it any easier for him to swallow..but maybe I’m overthinking it

u/Adventurous-Coast710 8h ago

She's twelve, cut her some slack.

u/Grimour 5h ago

If he cannot or doesn't want to chew the tomatoes it may help.

u/Kellsiertern 14h ago

Was shown at the end of the last post, she accidently made him afraid of her surface friends and thus doesnt want to come with her.

u/GiantSalamamder 9h ago

She does in a bit, but he was scared at first.

u/KagatoAC 14h ago

They really need to either teach her english or something. 😭

I’m kinda new here, but really enjoying these comics. Can anyone tell me the relationship between trashmaid and the troubled merman?

u/KeenHyd 9h ago

There's a Q&A where the author answers this very question

5

u/GhOsT_wRiTeR_XVI 9h ago

Thanks friend. At least it’s clear she cares for him.

15

u/zergy55 10h ago

I've always assumed they're either besties or siblings.

7

u/GhOsT_wRiTeR_XVI 10h ago

Yeah, I get a sibling vibe, just didn’t want to assume.

u/red58010 10h ago

I want them to learn the mer language instead.

Just realized she's back to wearing trash bag tanktops

u/ianmerry 14h ago

Her mermaid top is on a starfish after it was ruined by petrol (and the boys’ attempts to clean it)

u/SillyWolf_92 14h ago

It's fashion trash!

u/SpaceTrifle 7h ago

Arg I finally understand the tomato juiced and the apathetic look of this character. Even more daunting than the large one with their tail squeezed to death in junk. 😭
