It's official. Defenders of the Legacy: A Bloody Roar Fanzine is live and 100% free to download! Over 150 pages of Bloody Roar art, writing, and... even a couple music tracks I put together. There might be more on that on my YouTube channel later.

This was amazing to put together for the past year, I'm so proud of everyone and amazed by what we made! 🧡 I got to contribute a lot of spot art and collaborate with great illustrators (such as in this preview here) to bring this project to life. Any uncredited writing throughout is also by me!

if you're one person making a comic by yourself, don't treat yourself like you should function on the same level as comics that have multiple people working on them. your backgrounds can be squiggles and colors. allow yourself room to be abstract with details and give yourself some grace

I was given the opportunity to make some merch for this project (˶ˆᗜˆ˵) Bloody Roar might not be the most well-known, but that hasn't stopped the many people who came together to make this zine. I hope new and old fans can enjoy it!

Wanda Wulz’s (1903-1984) untitled photograph from 1932 reads like a modern piece of surreal photography demonstrating her creativity and devotion to the craft. See more celebrations of women photographers at Sisters of the Lens. #art #beautifulbizarre

Read my comic at stucktogedurr.com! Cont: “When will I finally escape the WIP and be in my own pilot episode? “And what do I need to do to be R rated so I can see what’s between everyone’s legs? I need to know what makes someone a he/him or she/her instead of a they/them.”

The 18+ premise because I don't have an about page for it and not everyone reads what is under da floorboards.

To address an ask we received on Tumblr, we wanted to give a brief update on our most recent production update: a prototype of the A5 booklet is ready to be sent over to the mods for a quality check, so keep an eye out for more updates by the end of the month!

Shipping postponed to December/January! Due to the busy holiday season, our Shipping Mod's post office raised shipping prices & slowed down shipping times; to avoid this & decrease the possibility of lost/damaged packages, we'll ship after holidays. Thank you for your patience!

So, services continue to get worse

Dont even mention commission, just that word has gotten people banned off there before, at most say "good" or something if you absolutely must type something

If you are not on a business account you can get to a similar page by going to create an invoice, and using the 'back to invoices' button at the top of the page. (I don't have the option on either of my accounts though so I am not sure if it will show up there eventually or not.)

ARTISTS! You can DISABLE this feature! Protect yourself and don't assume that you're safe if you're an sfw artist!
