when your views are “I should be allowed to exist in public and access health care” and the opposite view is “lol no” it is impossible to say who is truly correct

the fun thing about the word "comics" is that it is often used to refer to like five separate forms of publishing, all of which work in completely different ways and are united only by the fact that 99% of the people involved are not getting paid enough

“The intelligent heart does not deny reality. We must not forget the grief of yesterday, nor ignore the pain of today. But yesterday is past; it cannot tell us what tomorrow will bring. If there is goodness at the heart of life, then its power, like the void of evil, is real.”

I haven't finished any writing projects & have hardly written at all this year, but, through hard work, I'm nearly at a B2 in learning French, forged many new friendships, & learned a lot about how to take care of my disabled body, so that's all a win for me !

Research I did for a school project. I wanted to turn this idea into a comics and an animated feature. I don't animate much anymore but I still have the first 7 pages of the comics, maybe someday^^

Your new favorite superhero is on her way 😂

Yes! This saved my ass so many times when I was starting out! People are often willing to talk about their experiences to help make yours better. A lot of times it was creators I didn’t really know very well! I just reached out as a professional, and they’d share their perspective.

Absolutely this. Make sure you’re cc’d on everything, and that your name is on the contract too—not just with writer collabs, but also for artists on creator-owned comics

Normal collaborators who have nothing to hide will have zero problem with this

If you're an artist switching to Clip Studio Paint and find the brush layout a bit unintuitive/unfamiliar as I did, here's a little guide for an alternative! 🧵

❤️ and credits to my art friend Ruunin who suggested this idea years ago, it made life much easier!

Fred Rodgers on the importance of making something even if other people don't think it's good had me crying this morning. Passing it along for anyone else that might need it.

I been in gamedev industry for 8 years and never used Photoshop in those years. So never forget this list exist

an illustration of ducklings in a kitchen sink with the faucet on. on the counter are flowers, fruits, vegetables, and a bread basket with a sign that says "no ducks!" there is a cat peeking in the window over the sink

I really love ducks. We had them as pets when I was a kid and that love persists to this day.

but most of the time the most effective promos will be through word of mouth by fans rather than anything you say/do with the intention to promote yourself / your work

the most effective way to grow a community is through a combination of things - namely posting your stuff, interacting with other creators, and patience

(interacting with fans of your work can also be effective, but can also be a double edged sword imo so be careful if you do that)

Don’t listen to all these stupid writing rules. Unlearn them all. You can write whatever the hell you want. Writing is art. Make up words, use weird punctuation, tell not show—express yourself by any means necessary.

We must stop talking about people who wrote fanfic as if it disqualifies you from ever doing anything else. Terry Pratchett wrote Jane Austen fanfic. Most published writers I know wrote some form of it. It’s a weird punishment for being open about writing it, often levelled by those who also do it.
