Could I get some shares, please. Surgery is now on Thursday

Robin @assumptionprime.bsky.social is running a little game of the Fallout TTRPG and I got to play as Winnie, my fashion ghoul, for the first time

This month's update is gonna be a day or two late, still playing catch-up after having to force-feed a cat every couple of hours for half a week. I just have 3 more pages to shade, and no idea how fast I can or will accomplish this. 💀

I have comics I need to be finishing up colouring but also I am currently making a giant pasta salad for lunches for the week, and then I am making strawberry ice cream that needs to chill in the next hour or 2 if I want it to be ready for after dinner. Too much to do & not enough time to do it in!

I love the farmer's market so much! $10 for 3lbs of garlic scapes, and now I have made two giant jars of pesto and put the last lb of scapes into the freezer, pre-chopped, to use for more pesto or maybe a stirfry in the near future. We are doing subs for dinner tonight, it's gonna be so delicious!

Parsnip is home form the vet and has just set the record for the Medically Most Expensive cat in this house, de-throning Ham by about a thousand dollars. Look at this beautiful idiot, and wish him a speedy recovery!

Parsnip is home from the vet for now! The anti-nausea meds they gave him smell like sour cherries and Ham is afraid of him because he smells weird. They hydrated him via IV, and our job now is to get him eating. If he won't, we go back in for an emergency slot appointment tomorrow.

Hey, I'm a trans man married to a trans woman and we have a trans kid! We do not, currently, have any money! This guy decided to kick off pride month by suddenly getting very sick. Expecting a huge vet bill, and I NEED him to be OKAY. Ignore my deadname on PayPal. www.paypal.me/skullamity

Every time I sit down to finish inking this batch of pages, Parsnip commits a crime loudly enough that it warrants investigating and I have to get right back up. >:(

You may think that your kid being old enough to make their own breakfast is great, but that's because you haven't yet walked into the kitchen to discover them eating whatever the fuck is going on here for breakfast.

This is a cat checkpoint, relinquish your most recent cat picture

It took the entire day, but I am currently moving the final psd folder to my desktop so it can be moved to the new drive. It's 78gb of older wallpapers, so this one is going to take A While, but I can at least relax while I do it. Tomorrow I'll be amalgamating it with the stuff from the other drive.

OKAY! SO: My last week and a half has been BAD. Parsnip managed to yeet my main external drive off my desk and onto the floor and the back popped off of it. It looked fine, the back of the casing popped right back on, no visible damage. But it was NOT fine. Not looking for advice, just ranting!

I can't believe we're going back to this kind of discourse but: Using references isn't cheating Using 3D mannequins and photo references is STANDARD, even for professional artists Shaming people and pushing them to draw exclusively from memory is harmful and can set back people who are learning

Not sure I'll get any takers, but: this & the 🧵 it's attached to seemed to resonate with people, so if anyone has any questions/wants encouragement or reassurances about making comics, ask here! I've been making comics since highschool & I am turning 42 this year with no signs of slowing down!

Any time I don't post anything anywhere, I feel like it implies I'm just...not working on things. I actually have 2 more design sheets to get to this point of un-finished but my clock is running out and I need to get moving on pages, so here's a quick peep at my last week and a half!

About to take a break from this gigantic design packet to make lunch, and my choices are spicy kimchi noodle bowl or carbonara buldak spicy ramen, so I'm basically choosing between two varieties of suffering for Future August to experience!

Current mainstream studios have -no- idea how to replicate success because it means actually taking risks. they stumble into it by accident or try to jump on the coat tails of people who do. Then they reap the benefits while avoiding unions and undercutting the very resources that lead to hits.

Kept hearing a weird noise through my noise cancelling headphones and the podcast I was listening to, and it turns out there's a pigeon wandering around across the road and my deaf cat was staring at it from the window next to my chair + making extreme hog noises about them. He is So Sounds.

⭐️Ghost Junk Sickness: The Finale ⭐️ The epilogue of GJS, and an end to our 12 years of running it! Thank you so much to everyone who has read and supported it, and please look forward to more comics from us! You can read it COMPLETED: ghostjunksickness.com

And for the record? You get over being bad at something really quickly. There is a very thin line between obsessing over whether every panel is a tiny masterpiece and being thankful that a panel is serviceable--that it accomplishes something that needs done. That line is different for everyone, but:

Oh my god oh my god oh my god thisssssss If you don't love making Your Thing, nobody else will love enjoying it. You loving it is no guarantee of success, but passion is the first ingredient to get there.

JUST TURNED MY HEAD BECAUSE I HEARD PARSNIP TEAR ASS ACROSS THE LIVING ROOM, JUST IN TIME TO SEE HIM LEAP OFF THE BACK OF THE LOVESEAT AND FACEPLANT ON THE WALL ACROSS FROM IT AND SLIDE DOWN IT LIKE FUCKING WILE E COYOTE

Switching from output to input is usually a good way to recharge creative batteries... If one can fight off the anxiety of NOT PRODUCING long enough to do it. Lol

People talk about aging like it's something you should fear in and of itself, and that's wrong. Aging can be quite beautiful. However sooner or later a butt doctor will have to look inside of your butt, and they will make you consume bowel prep solution first. THAT is what you should fear.

Without saying your age, post your favourite movie from the year you turned 18. Aside: I am side-eyeing you so hard @urnash.com

Today I'm doing a bunch of design prep work, and I will just say that, for a non-porn comic? This upcoming chapter sure is forcing me to figure out how big everyone's asses should be in a way that I did not expect to need to...

Hey, it's the 15th, and that means we've updated with a new batch of pages at endcomic.com! Both CH24 *and* Vol. 04 have wrapped today, so it's a real good time to catch up! 👽 #comics #webcomic #SciFi

Behind the scenes look at our next book cover/process, as well as a nice wallpaper of the finished art! 👽 www.patreon.com/posts/155613... #MakeComics #IndieComics #SciFi

a sign that your cat may be deaf lol

GASP AUGUSTINE 2....... We did it. fINALLY!!!

I am one of those people who has to be telling some sort of story/making something or I will actually explode. It sounds cool but also is so, so inconvenient. 💀

new page tomorrow, and it's going to be the chapter finale... then begins the last chapter of TIGER, TIGER!

Update: it happened again, but instead of with drawing, I had a really productive planning conversation with @femonologue.bsky.social and then went into some sort of fugue state and emerged with a full outline that went in a completely different direction than I intended!

You ever get so excited about drawing something and then you draw it and it is going so great that you forget you exist in physical space, and then your alarm goes off and it has been NINE HOURS and now you have to tear yourself away to make meat sauce for spaghetti, or is that just me 😭

Today is my BIRTHDAY!!!! And the best gift you could give me is PREORDERING MY NEW BOOK!!!!

The talk I did last night is up! I was super pumped to be able to chat about this topic because its important, but it can also come off as very 'self-help' and 'manage your way into efficiency' Im not about that, instead I dig into why its so hard to find, what is in our agency and what isint.

Today my wife chose VIOLENCE. Was watching her put the leftover beef vindaloo into a container for the fridge & said "make sure you use a silicone spoon to scrape out the slow cooker" she said "I'll use NATURE'S spoon!" & then made unblinking eye contact with me as she used her BARE HANDS TO DO IT

Thirty years and nine generations! #pokemon

Quote with your yellow art! 🌻

Just about had a heart attack! Shading this page, and went to change an adjustment layer because something seemed off, and I discovered that what was off was that SOMEONE walked across my keyboard while I was making lunch and deleted half my shading layers???

I've been getting back into comics while I wait for more info from my concept job, and I thought I'd make a post about something very important to me, which is COMIC PANEL VARIATION and HOW TO THINK ABOUT IT.

saw the google doodle today and thought at first glance it was some kinda weird dinosaur, only to go back and realize it was a hockey player doing hockey stuff, so here's a close approximation to the dinosaur i thought i saw for two seconds
