I was just listening to a Webtoon creator saying that they woke up "early" to cram their comic last-minute for their deadline because they KNOW that people are waiting, refreshing their feeds on update day. ...are they? Do mid-low list Webtoons have such rabid fans? This is a real question.

Clang clang! Hot, fresh comics! Your monthly Janus in Tartarus update! Get your hot, fresh comics in full here: www.bluecatco.com/janus/episod... In which we visit the surface.

The Make It Then Tell Everybody podcast has officially returned. This is the first new interview in just over four years, this time with Michael Lark. We had a good chat in his back garden.

Hey Early Artist? Any flute player can tell you that it's both GOOD and WISE to use reference for your drawings 🪈

They didn't even remaster it, the cowards

I know disease research is a big deal, but you know what we need? To strap some neural monitors on small wild animals in urban environments, to finally decide whether they run in front of cars for fun or not.

All comic advice says "don't start with a prologue." So I didn't. Then Gamma Readers had SO MANY QUESTIONS (that would be answered down the line, but wanted answers RIGHT AWAY), that the consensus was reached to add a prologue. My life story is doing everything right and still being wrong 😂

I'm taking notes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8vk...

This is VERY COOL

Oh man... It's finally happening! The illustrated Oz Database layout is finally coming together! They will be devised as Notched Edge cards (saying it the other way just seems grammatically mysterious to me), which can be used as an analog search system.

You think your plot moves too fast? Watch Snow White (1987) and feel better about your writing. It's a tough task cramming every ounce of that story PLUS musical numbers into that hour and 25 minutes, but boy did they do it!

We, as a society, need to bring back "darkle." @merriam-webster.com is doing The Good Work, as always.

I wish I'd tried this before I trashed my VCR. It was a VCR/DVD combo because I couldn't find a regular VCR to replace our old one but dang it.

I can't articulate this fully yet, but at some point, shortening all the divergent tags in a person's creative bio to the point that it's unreadable, starts to feel kind of ableist. Like, it's your website, there's no character limit.

Prepare thy wallets, as the time draws nigh.

Even though I've drawn a character a billion times, I don't always nail portraits on the first try! Trying to get a few reference pages in today, thinking about jobs, edge-notched cards and drawer organization. And you?

Another great Japanese learning resource, this one specifically for N5, that also has an audio component: www.instagram.com/dailyjpstories They have a website, but I prefer the Instagram carousel, as there is no English translation to lean on there.

If I see ONE more YouTube video of someone with a very lucrative job quitting dramatically to go make art and telling us exactly how they did it... You had $100,000 in savings. That's how you did it. Which is FANTASTIC, but not a path for your average Josephine.

I JUST realized that this is a Button, and I can switched from Advanced (which uses AI to "help") back to Classic and it functions SO MUCH BETTER. I cannot stress how much better classic is. "Advanced" does not translate over LINE BREAKS

In case you missed it, the next installment of Janus in Tartarus is ready for reading! In which there might be a panic attack: www.bluecatco.com/janus/episod...

Mom, 62, keeps up with no trends: James Taylor is like... You know Owl City, how you can always tell their songs? Me: 😂😂 why are you referencing Owl Cit-- Mom: I LOVE OWL CITY

A poll for you! I've finished the rough draft of the entirety of my graphic novel project JANUS IN TARTARUS. How shall we celebrate ? www.patreon.com/posts/celebr...

Guess who's going into the weekend with a FULLY ROUGHED OUT GRAPHIC NOVELLLL 🎉🎉🎉 Oh, sorry, that was a hard question... IT'S ME!

Adolescence of Utena is finally getting a US release! gkids.com/films/adoles...

Ahhh I just noticed the AI search for My Documents, on my Normal Laptop, which worked horribly and I did not ask for, has politely seen it's way out. My search works 100% better now.

Aren't they pretty? Tooooo bad I painted in some areas that have to be joined and don't want to fit. And toooo bad I spent a whole session sanding down parts that still didn't fit well together, chipping off paint, only to realize I can probably thin out the areas with rubbing alcohollll

I just found the Patreon sitemap and I feel like I've unlocked a superpower.

On the light table this weekend: Just a gal and a divine being that resembles her future self making their way through this crazy world together 😂

Sometimes "inks" are "pencils!"

Painting a Gundam because I'm almost down with the latest batch of comic pencils and I need more screws in order to put up shelves, long story, anyway, I'm very proud of the brackish blue I mixed for the cape.

It's apparently #WebComicDay! In this, the Digital Era, it seems that one has to be burdened with the powers of an old god, then banished to the Infernal Pit of Tartarus and form a rag-tag rebellion to learn what's really important in life... Kids these days. Janus in Tartarus: bluecatco.com/janus

Just used spray primer for the first time. A wild rabbit watched me the whole time. Yes I feel bad about myself.

Oookay CAPTCHA is getting ridiculous.

Genuinely, this is one of the best Japanese listening resources I've come across lately! youtu.be/-C2IwA_DvKA?... Early-Intermediate resources are usually slow enough, but use vocab you don't run across in learning materials. This is slow, clear, includes visual aids and sometimes repetition.

Aware that there are approximately 30 people on the planet with my overlapping experiences, I still have to state: Keeping Up Appearances and Maude are equivalent shows.

Can't find my past post about Sabrina the Teenage Witch having an airtight script from episode one, but Who's the Boss also holds up beautifully from the beginning. Cast ✅ Script ✅ Humor ✅ Nostalgic intro ✅

Me: UFF. I don't feel like cooking lunch tomorrow. Brain: ...you know what we could do? Me: Don't. Brain: We could hand-roll some gluten free udon noodles. SIGH

Candid of me still being smug (until I count the number of pages I get to rough and letter)
