I really like random D20 tables of little character details and flavour accents - it only takes a couple of small details to make a character feel unique.

Your comics are great and I’m always thrilled when a new one pops up on the feed. :)
Do you draw your comics on paper and color with pencils? I don’t think I’ve ever seen coloring it shading like that before.
I do.
I use Bristol board for paper (an expensive super smooth super white heavy paper). Bristol board is very durable, so you can erase pencil work without leaving any marks.
I use a mechanical 2H pencil for sketching, because it’s very hard, if leaves fairly faint, erasable marks.
I use pigment liners to ink the black lines - these are disposable technical drawing pens, they produce a very consistent line in permanent black ink. They’re often referred to as Microns, as they are a popular brand- but I use Derwent Graphik and Mitsubishi Uni-Pin
I use coloursoft pencils for shade. Coloursoft pencils are a high wax acrylic pencil that puts down a LOT of vibrant colour very fast. This is great for comics. They also sharpen to a very sharp point. The downside of coloursofts is that they don’t blend well.
Then I scan, and tweak digitally.
