Absolutely loved the pilot! #KnightsofGuinevere #KoG

Well i just had a stupidly vivid stress dream complete with noisy children about trying to figure out if i needed to like have form from customs for like idk something stupid. And had to fill out paperwork like “does the power supply have a charge” with a Tami who hated me personally. Fun!

Lune coat update: my silly idea was in fact Silly, and Did Not work as planned. so now i get to add triangles to the coat panels but i got the first hell lapel right. Now to repeat process on the other side.

I need things to stop occurring in my vague direction for like One Month. Just a month. Just the one. 🙏

How my afternoon is going: working out patterns for Lune’s coat and being Thoroughly intimidated lmao this is NOT final. Also finally got Vex’s top on paper #cosplaymaker

Starbucks’ CEO currently makes 6,666x what the median worker makes. There’s no better time than Workers’ Labor Day to stand with @sbworkersunited.org baristas as they fight corporate greed.

Fair warning lmao i think im fully fresh out of the capacity to say “your xyz words/actions are hurting my feelings” nicely more than once.

Still feeling pretty shit, but working on getting familiar with pixel sprites. Comics and cosplay leaves too much room for thinking, and thinking just makes me sad again. But hey, sprites! That work too!

'A NSFW ban won't negatively affect me, I don't draw or post porn!' You sure? Here's how it went down when tumblr did it:

It must be incredibly hard to go through life thinking expressions of hurt feelings or concern are accusations of assholery. Anyways if anyone needs me i will be sobbing my heart out. I’ll be fine just, very, very sad right now.

Hey hey!! I'm at FanExpo Canada with @varethane.bsky.social ! Please come visit us and get some cool as HECK merch and our comic books!!

this is why adult creators are really emphasizing that non-creators be the ones who contact paypal. Of all the paypros, PP is the most likely to act in a retaliatory manner towards individual accounts. If you dont make adult content or youre just a commissioner, you are able to help a LOT

Heya fellow comickers! Come say hi to @feathernotes.bsky.social and @varethane.bsky.social at FanExpo Canada this weekend! We'll be at table PR16 with stickers and mini prints and so much more! #FanExpoCanada #stickers

I hope everyone talking about how “scary” DC is because they *checks notes* had a stranger speak to them or saw someone pop a wheelie gets bit by a city rat or pidgeon. Give em a real problem. 👀

Before someone yells at me about Homestuck… I hope everyone understands when i say “Homestuck is deserving of immense literary merit” i mean the original comic. But. We’ll see what they do!

man. if i have learned anything from MICA, its do not ever rely on google for anything critical. like emails.

I wish everyone giving visa and itch hell a very big Win. 🤞🙏

If anyone is wondering why thunderstryke is not updating its not dead just unannounced hiatus due to life being unrelenting and an already emotionally difficult scene on page making it really hard to bring the a or even b game.

man the two wolves are at it again. one keeps trying to burn the all the social bridges, and the other is desperately logic-ing its way out of any kind of confrontation while also trying to hide the matches. Fun stuff.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

artfight.net/~socksofargyle didnt do a card again but (art) fight me, bro! I'm team crystal ✌️😉

Man. I am just existentially tired.

Been torturing myself with this for fun for the last few days, may be the cause of a migraine? Idk but inks are done. Wanted a fun introduction to the print version of cross the skies i’m tinkering with, figured i’d show off the reason i kept the vertical format.

Man. Hill politicking aside, Connolly was one of our best reps. Like, its rare to hear from your reps around here, but with him or his office, typically it was a positive thing when you did. Genuinely so sad to hear this, rest well, sir.

Stop Forcing A.I. Into Every Fucking Thing!

so. haaaaha haaa i just did a rough estimate count of the cross the skies pages cause printing thoughts are floating around the brain... yall. ~400* pages. *assuming each of the long pages divides into roughly 3 pages +/-3; either way 400 by the end of the batch I'm working on.

You can hear me as Ed in this, along with many other very cool people! You should check it out cuz it just looks plain awesome to play too!!

THE STEEL CARNELIAN PILOT IS OUT NOW - FOR FREE!!!! I had the joy of voicing Frank Mangum and the ICE99 Leader in this wonderful thing. Huge thanks to @venicello.bsky.social and the folks at @catbirdsoft.net for having me on, and to @taschritter.bsky.social for her stupid fun voice direction.

the first episode of STEEL CARNELIAN is out now! really tight run-n-gun shooter, it's as fun as it is funky i voice ROBIN KILBRIDE: your hard boiled person-in-the-chair! all my love to the catbirdsoft team for having me on board, and to @taschritter.bsky.social for directing me through it all

it's #webcomicday so here's another "Yay Webcomics!" post! I'm in the middle of redoing dialogue for the first 'chapter' of Cross the Skies, because Reasons! But three reboots, three redesigns, four platforms across those reboots, a format change and webtoon departure can't stop this webcomic. ♥️

Big news this Saturday. The Steel Carnelion pilot releases NEXT FRIDAY, May 16th. We'll see you there. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

After a frustratingly long wait, the test print for cross the skies has arrived!! And its not god awful to hold!! I still gotta shove it in peoples hands to see what others think and this is not final by any stretch but like. Its cool!!

Feeling guilty about not working on my comic, or working at snail pace.. Then remembering *this*, and feeling a little more justified in taking things slow.

brooo why the hell am i stupidly congested. I was inside. I took a zyrtec, late but i took it. 😭whhhyyy

Having a generally shit week so if my booklet print could magically not be lost in the mail in new jersey that would be a major improvement. ;_;
