One small task

Hugo Pratt’s CORTO MALTESE

Chris is top of the heap, as far as I'm concerned, and I've been looking forward to this project for ages. Don't miss it!

Friends! My new fantasy adventure comic, OUTLAW'S APPRENTICE, has begun, with new episodes releasing each Wednesday. Read it on webtoons: www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/ou... Or read it on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/c/ChrisSchwe... Shares and word-spreading very much appreciated!

Correct! It's shame we had to cut the Hawthorne flashbacks — they're real gnarly and Jenn does some great work here — but we were running out of pages and it felt like it was muddying the momentum heading into the climax. End of the day, while it's cool texture, we just had to bump it.

@danschkade.bsky.social Just finished reading the print edition of Lavender Jack, and I'm fascinated by the side-by-side view of the adaptation changes! I'm curious what the thinking was in omitting the flashback to Fort Riss and the twist about Lord Hawthorne! Was that a matter of format?

I like it when people get along.

The Monty Hall problem is actually incredibly easy. It doesn't matter what door you pick or if you switch because either way you're getting either a car or a goat, and that's good living no matter the result, fellas.

I dunno man, sometimes they're just for me

There's something to be said for second place: it could be a whole lot worse!

Me in 2024. Today everybody on Twitter is screaming that Claude is blowing through its limits faster than ever. The subprime AI crisis begins…

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

a couple of quotes i wish i saw when i was 15 or 16--

Any seasoned mechanic's go-to advice. Hit it as hard as you can.

Chaudhri, can you focus on the matter at hand??

Thank you so much!

Reference vs Art I like to post this occasionally as part of my "you can learn 3D really really badly and it can still be useful for your process" agenda

Jay Garrick, the Golden Age FLASH!!

I want to see some of your favourite final shots in film history.

I just backed this, and so should you! Side Quester's is one of my favorite current fantasy comics, crunchy, grungy, and weird in the way of classic Appendix N sword and sorcery, mixing light meta-genre observation with some real heart. You won't regret it!

As a depressed younger artist, my storytelling sometimes suffered. I just couldn't conjure up feelings & images the story needed. Over time I found some strategies for staying professional even when I wasn't feeling it. Thread:

Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️

Direct evidence for Venusian lava tubes 1 km in diameter and 300m tall: eos.org/articles/new... Radar scans from the Magellan mission were re-analyzed to reveal this masive void 150m below the surface near the volcano Nyx Mons.

I had the pleasure of seeing @scottmccloud.bsky.social speak yesterday- such an incredible experience from a great orator. Thank you, Scott! #art #scottmccloud

I come up with so many unexpected ideas and solutions entirely by doodling silly things! Even if I THINK I know exactly what I want something to look like, I often stumble on something while doodling roughs that makes me say “WAIT, what if I do THIS, oh hell yeah, that‘s even cooler!”

Inza for the real ones

They just don't make chairs like they used to* *prone to smashing into matchwood the instant they make contact with a human being.

Emmett does some of his very best work on The Sunday Tempest, if you weren't aware. Just three dollars for access to 45 pages of brilliant, full-color bonus comics! www.patreon.com/c/captaintem...

Oregon's forests are an inextricable part of me. Sometimes they're the only thing in the world that can grant me sustenance in times of hardship. I will be damned before I see this craven, blighted administration hand them over to be chainsawed. There's ways to help in this article.

Here’s a 1978 ad arts days sample piece.

Reminder: Comic artist @danschkade.bsky.social Webtoon webcomic Lavender Jack comes to Dark Horse in a beautiful print edition in March! Pre-order: bit.ly/3JaIzfn By Schkade, @jennmanleylee.myatproto.social and @dylantodd.bsky.social

Reminding everyone what @emmetthgraham.bsky.social can do with a splash page.

In celebration of the complete Chapter 4 going to print, I just thought I'd repost our thread containing "Race Against Destiny" so far. It's really, really good. If you'll pardon my tooting our own horn.

Just got the proof for Chapter 4 back from the printer! Emmett's art looks insanely good in print. Absolutely unreal. I can't wait for everyone to see it.

Whenever we go to a convention, Emmett always grills me for some characters he can sketch to pass the time away, and inevitably the whole front of our booth gets papered in them. Here's some of my favorite requests (for sale at our store!) captaintempestweekly.etsy.com

Oh. Good. I'm very reassured.

It's not a newsstand, but it'll do! You can get print editions of our first three chapters at our shop. www.etsy.com/listing/4433...

Pay for the whole seat, but only use the edge! Pretty bad deal, actually.

Oh boy. Save my seat?
