ok, but what about Peacock?

It wasn't an art book or drawing book per se, but helped me build a more unique & diverse skillset as an artist

As an example, years ago when I was first getting serious about art, I found a book about ballet costuming in the $1 bin at the library. I don't care about ballet, but I learned a lot from that book about strong expressive poses and clear silhouettes that has carried forward into my animation work

Also, find obscure books at the library or used book store. let yourself find unique sources of inspiration that will give you tools and strengths other artists don't have. Skimming the top page of results on google is better than using AI, but it's still largely generic & surface level

Personally feel like digging deeper is how you get to the good stuff. Find out the names of artists you love. Read interviews with them where they talk about who they love, (influences & contemporaries) and build up a library of your own influences. graft yourself onto the big family tree of artists

this is canon. obviously

I'm teaching a course! Sign up at www.bladschool.com

hope you didn't strain yourself

I LIKE Reelin in the Years...but I like this more XD

Of all my insanely talented friends who should be given a blank check to make whatever they want...

"Welcome to the Rebellion" is the name of the episode XD that should tell you something...

nailed the style

Vacuum Hero

A parody of the Matrix where Neo decides to fight the system from the inside by like, working hard at his job, and maybe he has a snarky blog.

Has someone already made this?

ORBITAL SEARCH AND RESCUE

Finally have a proper website home for OSR:

www.orbitalsearchandrescue.com

Also you can tell she's a pro, because its a story that takes place in a school, and I think has maybe 4 characters in total?

Kiana's pilot is GOOD! So funny and charming and that perfect balance of a parody that is also a love letter.

that's nuts. it looks great! I don't play video games, or even have fond memories of samurai pizza cats, but this looks really fun.

this is real?

I’ve decided posting every page on a thread is for the birds. Here’s some comic pages

oh hey there's more...

Maybe I'll post these pages in a thread...I don't know how the internet works!

Maybe I'll use bsky! I don't know. Just want to share comics with friends...

I follow only Bill. Bill is the reason I’m here.
