Praise for Rainbow!
"[A] Swoonworthy Romance Webtoon"-- Publishers Weekly
"An inimate, unflinching, and vividly drawn tale." -- Kirkus
"[A] masterpiece of visual design and narrative, using a vivid pallete of unusual colors to contrast the darkness of its characters' backstories, many elements of which will undoubtedly hit close to the mark for some readers." -- Anime Corner
Sunny Funkhouser AKA Sunny (they/them), is a neurodivergent, queer creator who has been writing ever since they were a teenager. Sunny is autistic with ADHD and likes to collect dolls, make reborn dolls, crochet, act, and sew. They love learning how to do things creatively. An avid table-top gamer, Sunny is a big fan of Dungeons & Dragons and Magic the Gathering. Musical theater is their other love aside from writing and Gloomy. They're also an ENFP for people that like that sort of thing.
Angel AKA Gloomy has been making comics since they were 10, starting with a lovingly crafted Sailor Moon rip-off. Despite the soft magical girl influence in their work, their favorite genre is horror. Besides drawing, Gloomy loves to bake and garden (in theory, if they could only keep things alive), as well as collect merchandise from whatever is currently suiting their fancy, typically cutesy things like Ghibli or Sanrio. Opposite Sunny, they're as introverted as they come, but consider themselves friendly anyway. They're also obsessed with bagels.
