Drawing my Mutuals' OC's Part 8! I drew @semoart.bsky.social 's OC Lavrenti! Link to the comic he's featured in below cuz it's really cute vampire romance and I think you should check it out! Semo I'm constantly inspired by all of your awesome comic, animation, and character design work!! #art

Drawing comics is like (starts the next page) OHH GOOODDDDD I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRAW THISSSSS (draws it anyway)

Because the year does not wish to end easily, I got a bill I absolutely cannot pay that equals out to roughly $300. Currently all my funds are going towards medical costs [such as transportation] so im struggling to pay bills as well. So...if you'd like an art book? God, im sorry guys.

My old man comics rant is this: The tails of your speech bubbles should be pointing to the source of the sound. This is, most likely, the mouth of the character speaking. If you leave your tails pointing all willy-nilly, then at best it can confuse who's speaking, and at worst, you get Butt Dialogue

Bonus: you don’t even have to be hyper talented or experienced. Be nice to work with, work well and the right people will pass your name around. Also: go to things.

Today was a bit of a bummer. Send messages or doodles if it strikes you? 💐

Professional artists need three things: community, fans, and clients. You might think that if I leave X, I'll never gain fans and clients like I once had. Or perhaps that's true. But we must keep showing that we have choices.

no that was someone else

Thank you so much, that's really flattering haha! Unfortunately I don't think full commissions are in my immediate future. I know from past experience that I just don't do well with them and I don't want to let anyone down. But, I may open a middle ground like Your Character Here comms!

No YOU r cool anon. Everyone reading this is cool 🫵

Also, Bluesky is big on alt text. You will get more reposts if you use it You can go into accessibility and set it to remind you to add it to any images you post, and there are various guides to writing good alt text floating around if you need them

This year has been really rough. I'm my mom's main caregiver in home hospice and this will be my last Christmas with her. It's...a lot to take in. Please, if you could donate or share to help with her major expenses, it would be extremely appreciated. Thank you guys so much gofund.me/7ec5d4f8a

7.27.22 [ ace + luffy ] #ONEPIECE

hi, cis folks! this week, with some democrat votes, 2 anti-trans bills passed the house. one bans medicaid funds for trans youth care, the other proposes jail time for providers. they haven't passed the senate, but dems may need convincing to vote no on both. tap into the 🧵for a quick action.

(❤️🔄) My partner has become his disabled father's caregiver and is unable to afford necessities as he is on unpaid EML. Please donate if you're able. Please repost and share if you can't. Thank you.

Rubbing my temples. Having to think unfortunately about Money and how it's not feasible long-term to dedicate as much time and energy as I do to making comics on top of a regular job, but also not at all wanting to lock my comics behind a paywall or early access

hi all. one of the green stewards who works alongside my coworkers has a 14 yr old daughter with late stage bone cancer. if you guys are able to share and/or donate, a gfm was created to help this family out especially for the holidays! thank you 🤍

What other Greatures should be wandering around in Silver & Iron as low-level monsters... The nymphs are a pretty common hazard which can be dangerous to humans but are otherwise not much of a threat unless they manage to survive long enough to grow bigger.

As a non-American can any of my American followers who went to one tell me what it's like attending one of those enormous high schools with thousands of students and a campus like a small factory town

This is incredibly painful for me. I have never asked for help like this before. But I have had people reach out to me asking if they can help, so I am sharing my story and finally asking for help. I've been lucky to have a lovely group of followers here, please share if you can, anything helps <3

The guys here just keep getting bigger and bigger

Aya just texted me this photo. guess who turned two months old todayyyyyyy 🥰 help this lovely family survive genocide & save for their evacuation: chuffed.org/project/help...

"I hate how game dev involve a lot of tedious work, such as recording multiple voice lines." "Yeah, as a VA it's annoying, but most jobs are, right?" "I've found a way to avoid doing that!" "Excellent! What would I be doing instead?" " " "I said what would my job be instead of that?" " " "My job?"

I am not trying to fearmonger but if one of these people is your representative please call them and tell them to vote no on "Protect Children’s Innocence Act, H.R. 3492"

When you've mostly finished a couple pages for your comic and you have to step back and sigh and finally accept the gnawing feeling that there is a much much better and more effective layout you absolutely need to go with, and you just digitally crumple em up and head back to da drawing board

It's so funny how companies trying to justify their AI use either exaggerate it into this massive inconvenience and a huge hassle to work with - contradicting the argument that AI is supposed to make your job easier - or they act like it played a tiny, insignificant role, in which case, why bother

I've been trying to find a good time to bring this up, but: When shifting from posting fanart to more original art/comics, you're lucky if even a fraction of your followers engage with it. I was prepared for that. What I WASN'T prepared for was how little other original artists engage w/ each other.

When I was told why an artist would never engage with other artists on platforms like this I felt so sad for them. Was always people with an audience and gained everyday from others engaging with them also tryed to get others not to do so and just felt so bad.

I've had the time to read more webcomics lately, and I've noticed a trend of competently & interestingly written comics, using subtle, visual storytelling to convey plot points, characterisation, worldbuilding, and foreshadowing... which is immediately undermined by pointing it all out textually

btw minasan lets all read silver and iron. ok? :)

LRT: especially someone making original work, whether it's character design or an ongoing story or individual art pieces. Likes and comments are wonderful & indispensable but the most impactful gift you can give is to share their work, both on social media and with your friends

This right here. Sharing, commenting and liking furthers our reach. Purchasing is definitely the best, but showing that we’re not just shouting into the void does help.

I gotta design an energy drink logo for Lake

Pleaaaase check out Silver and Iron cuz it has vampires and werewolves and beautiful art and Ashley bsky.app/profile/land...

Can I get a hi Five!! #OnePiece

Drawing my Mutuals' OC's Part 6! I drew @landeg.world 's lovely Ashley Lovell who i think is very cool a normal amount I followed your work for a while and am constantly inspired by how loose and expressive your drawings are. I'm so excited to see your future works with Silver & Iron! #art

"people with renaissance-level art skills don't exist anymore" yes they do their username is something like 03748218_ and they spend all their time drawing pornography so deranged it'd kill hugh hefner a second time

Trying to expand my music tastes and also my attention span lmao. What's an album you listen to front to back?

Hey so I had two ER trips this week due to gi bleeds & abdominal pain & was ultimately told nothing would done until my next gastro appointment at the end of the month but transportation cost alone for today's hospital visit totaled roughly $75. Im struggling on all fronts honestly.
