"Comic Relief" A comic about comics by 2 comic creators (myself and Pixie Press) #comic #zine #webcomic (🧵 1/12)

Shopping small is meaningful!

Sorry for the indecency, guys. I'll be sure to say b*tt from now on.

@quippersnapper.bsky.social has swears! They've used 6 profanities in their last 473 posts. 🥇 "suck" (2 times) 🥈 "screwing" (1 times) 🥉 "butt" (1 times)

@profanity.accountant It's nearly year's end and it's time for an audit. Hit me!

I'd love for more complaints towards crunchy roll, who has been doing this to its subtitles too I watched Wolf's Rain with friends, and the AI garbage that was used to make the subtitles made them horribly distracting and disrespectful with how wrong they were. Get this AI slop out of here!

This looks promising, and is giving me strong nostalgia vibes.

Made a little comic to promote the Comix Cleric Kickstarter, a new platform-independent, modern way to host your webcomic! (I also drew a bunch more for the Kickstarter - keep your eyes peeled for when it launches!)

I wouldn't mind an easier webcomic CMS than Comic Easel...👀

A new webcomics CMS is on its way!! :D I've been following this one for a while, so I'm really excited. It means a lot for a new one to appear because quite a few have become abandonware. If you're interested in having your comic on its own site, you should get notified for this Kickstarter.

Heyyy, if you like webcomics and have always wanted your own webcomic site, check this OUT

It feels great to finally be able to share a date for this. We've been working on this since April and I'm really proud of what we've done since then. Following the Kickstarter project and sharing this post can go a long way, if you'd like to help us out!

Printing all four layers of a multi-block color linocut! Block 1: cool layer—flat, light green-blue Block 2: warm layer—yellow with hand painted red details Block 3: secondary key layer—teal reflection lines in the water, details in the sky Block 4: primary key—main linework in dark green

Hey if we're not annoying you guys in the next couple of weeks about our cool project, let us know and we can always ramp it up! We're all SUPER PUMPED about it and would appreciate your support when we make our announcement soon!

work with what you've got, including time

in the comic industry has a group of people usually working on it. At the minimum you have an inker and a colorist and even then its a lot of work even when split up. People just don't ever think about the labor in the creation of art.

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

IF YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE A COMIC... Please talk about it on this thread! I would love to hear what stage you are at, what is working well, and what has proven more difficult than you thought. Share a bit of art, if you can! Sing your own praises, if you like!

I'm just trying to wrap my head around how you'd give someone something so aggressively that it was done "in a murderous craze".

Happy Thanksgiving to all the wild turkeys in the vast woods near my house plotting their revenge for their fallen comrades. ❤️

Eliminating 1 type of cancer is something I think we can all agree is absolutely incredible, and the fact that Australia is so close to this milestone needs much more attention.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

This is just... too good not to use every day from now on.

eventually you learn that you get better at drawing not by learning how to draw the head at a weird angle but by learning how to work around ever having to draw the head at that angle

Did you know that Hesper was the voice of our Qwitter PRO video back in January? She did a FANTASTIC job, and now she needs YOUR help! Check out the Fix-A-Fairy Fundraiser from now thru Sunday, and help Hesper get the surgery she needs! It's only been an hour and she's raised over 1/4 of her goal!

“Why can’t I make art without having to make sure I’m being a ‘good’ lunatic?”

???????? #comics #boumeries

i made this to make my friends angry at me

I can FINALLY share the animation I’ve been working on for my short film class!

You can love someone you love even if you don't love yourself🏳️‍⚧️ But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold. So take care of yourself. Your soul is beautiful.

IMPORTANT A new scam is going around where you'll be walking down the street and there will be a big red X painted on the sidewalk. DO NOT STAND ON THE X!!! If you do, a grand piano will fall on your head!!! This happened to a friend of mine and his teeth were piano keys for weeks! BE SAFE!!!

Found this research study from 2024 titled "Work Environment and Depressive Symptoms of Webtoon Writers". The short version is that to the surprise of no one, #Webtoon creators surveyed had a high prevalence of depressive symptoms, stemming from poor working conditions outlined in their contracts.

my jaw dropped and I had to triple check this wasn’t generated and bumped into these _other_ Cheese is Manfood ads (c/o Vintage Everyday) while doing so and my jaw dropped *again*

Everyone should get at least 1 hassle-free (and cost-free) name change. Imagine how many headaches this would reduce from people getting married, or learning how they self-identify, or freeing themselves from reminders of abuse. It's just the right thing to do.

When you go to buy from an individual creator this season please remember the price at checkout (in person or online) is not what they will see reflected in their account Fees, immediate taxes, and future taxes cut what they would make often in half We price for that, so please be understanding!

Are you a small or solo dev in need of QA but can't afford it? Please reach out, if it looks interesting, I'll gladly volunteer my time and experience. I have been involved with over a dozen projects that shipped, with many more on the way, and would love to help you too! <3 #GameDev #IndeDev #QA

"But it's art, that's supposed to be easy and fun!" Not when you're wearing more hats than a Team Fortress 2 character. Remember that ordering commissions, supporting artists on Patreon and Ko-Fi, and even just sharing their work goes a long way! And artists: Remember your work has value, too!
