despite everything, my heart still yearns to do inktober this year... I'm not, I have big deadlines by the end of the october that I can't afford to mess around with. I might not even have the energy for it. But I do admit, it was nice to have a challenge where I got this cool series by the end.

I love making comics, but the industry and the people running it are so full of ridiculous shit. We deserve better and we don't owe them shit. If you're a big name, you owe it to your colleagues being mistreated to push back against the dudes in charge and fight for better working conditions.

Ursa and Genevieve, the main character + love interest of my new comic coming to ShortBox Comics Fair in 2 WEEKS...!

Sorry for more silksong posting but I feel like a GOD after beating a hard boss in this game haha. Even with the long runback really messing with my wrists (to the point where I was wondering if I could do long sessions of this game). Then I beat the boss and everything was good again lol.

hey if you're someone interested in flatting/coloring comics, this is a great resource. very few people know how to do it correctly, and it's not difficult but it IS more technically intensive than most people assume! these are useful skills!

I want to keep playing silksong, but my patience and skill drop so so low by the end of a long play session that I'm immediately getting frustrated at minor thing lol. And yet.... And yet...!

It's been over a year since I drew this Kingfisher scene, but I'm still fond of it.

I genuinely died more on the jump to the fight to Splinter Sister than the boss herself lol rip

I know I'm getting obsessed with a project when I start drawing dozens of little one-page comics with the characters

I wake up, stare at the ceiling, and try not to think about how I want to be playing Silksong right now

After 2 years, I'm finally releasing My Father Was a Good Man digitally! This queer horror story follows the journey of a girl who hunts down the wolf that killed her father, but learns things aren't always as they seem. Reposts appreciated❤️, but it at the link below🔗⬇️

“This story is not aimed at me so it must be bad / lesser” is so so common, and more people need to interrogate their discomfort of others enjoying stories that don’t center them bc it grows into worse ideas like “this game / movie sucks because it has people in lead roles who don’t look like me”

Thinking about it, honestly? The root to a lot of reactions to romance in general is people just thinking that women, especially woman they don't like, are stupid.

Happy #swordtember to all who celebrate! I'll be participating this year with some little ink drawings. Here's day 1- shell 🐣

The 2025 Swordtember prompt list is here! ⚔️ #swordtember

Im a big believer in order to get better at comics, you make more comics. Thus, to get better at short comics, I need to make short comics. But every time I start thinking "but will this comic change my life and make me a million dollars"? Which puts a bit of pressure on the whole affair.

I was looking at my inventory back when I was regularly maintaining a print/sticker shop and I have SO many old postcard prints. Like, too much. I wonder if people would be interested in like surprise print pack. $7 for 4 random prints and a sticker.

I have a new mini artbook out! It's a compilation of my experiments with color pencils.... specifically the studies I've down of cute animals. Check it out at my shop! www.rowanmaccoll.com/shop/p/color...

I'm desperate for Hades 2 to finally at least announce a release date because it has become a chill break game for me. HOWEVER I don't want to progress too far! Because I'm going to do a new save file when the 1.0!! This is a very dire predicament, as you might imagine.
