#HorrorWritersChat Q4

I think Azi was the funnest to write. They're just such a mess, and the sassy way they talk is really fun. Id say Bernard is "my avatar" in the book, he's my like... anchor I guess. And they may be wondering where they're royalty checks are. I have to SELL the book first guys!

#HorrorWritersChat Q3

Legally obligated to say that my Dinosaur Horror Novel is inspired by Jurassic Park, should be a surprise to no one haha. Carnosaur, Dino Crisis and Resident Evil 1 specifically may ring a few neat bells though.

#HorrorWritersChat Q2

My weird tool is, if you have artistic talent, keep a sketchpad nearby. I've gotten out of a few Writers Block by switching my creative gears and sketching scenes I've outlined to just jostle the brain a bit and restore my mana.

#HorrorWritersChat Q1

Im Dave Bruno, author of "Oh F*ck! Dinosaurs!" I love writing Creature Features, and to the question I say "why let your dreams stay dreams?" And made my office my dream place to write!

currently Im getting a shirt from CustomInk but its not ideal as CustomInk has no way for people to just discover it. Im not really in the market to advertise and sell this thing, I just want it as occasional funny money and to put it out there.

so I made a cool design for Gym Shirts to work out in and I wanna sell that design online, but I'm having trouble finding a good website to do it. Anyone recommend anything for uploading custom art for athletic attire and selling it online?

same. Ive legit tried and it just seems like social media is so fractured. People pick one site, but they copy and paste to the other 10 sites, but they arent regulars on those sites, so 9 times out of 10 your commenting on a post someone pasted from their main site and arent looking at this comment

Just 3 more days to enter for a chance to win 1 of 50 copies of my #Dinosaur #Horror #Novel! Get in before this giveaway goes extinct!

My Blockbuster had all the movies when I was a kid (later grew up to work at that Blockbuster.... weird) And we marathoned them all. I have to rewatch them now but Tomie always grabs me whenever I see her appear anywhere. I also bought that big ole anthology manga of the Tomie stories.

so I guess have fun with brain rot and recycled slop. Eat your fill of the cheapest made cut corners of rotten beef you can, because unless we actually start giving a shit about actual artists, thats all were getting.

we fostered a world where grifting is rewarded and talent is punished. I literally cant share ads for my book because its considered "self promotion" but people making crappy ai memes can post anywhere they want. Youve killed art and youve pissed on its grave.

My art gets taken and resold on shirts without my knowledge. My animations get downloaded and reuploaded as Reaction Videos. I put the work in, I put the talent and time in, and I'm dissected for parts and tossed away while my surgeons eat rich tonight. I think Im just done and defeated with it.

I have an AI book reviewer trying to scam me and... yall... It just feels like being "creative for the internet" benefits everyone else except the artist at this point. I wrote a book, the Book Reviewers made more money off it than I have. AI scammers stole it and make money off remixing it.

That rules! Awesome job!

Day 10 of #artober is Senshi from #DeliciousInDungeon. I got into cooking this year and now I start grumbling narrations while I cook thanks to Senshi. #anime

Day 9 of #Artober is #DetectiveConan from #CaseClosed #Anime. I visited Japan earlier this year & a new DC movie came out so they were advertising it everywhere. I decided to give it a shot, watched it in Japanese w/ no Subtitles on Netflix, liked it and rewatched it w/ subtitles back in the states!

Day 8 of #Artober is #ChainsawMan. As a lover of Evil Dead, id say this is like my favorite character design ever. I guess I just have a thing for Chainsaws haha. #anime

Day 7 of #Artober is Okarun from #DanDaDan. Easily one of my favorite character designs this year. #Anime

Unless it’s Instagram… then it’s Bots saying “Snd this to [some AI profile page]”

Me posting to literally any social media website

Skipping Day 5 (Osaka) and moving on to the Anime Block. Here's Soma Yukihira from Food Wars! I got into cooking this year so I watched cooking animes. Another cooking show will appear in this block too >.>

#anime #artober #foodwars

Day 4, the Portugal work off site! Unfortunately we mostly stayed in the resort hotel the entire trip so I didn't get to really experience Portugal as much as the other places, so this is more about what we did for work. I won an award!

Young Bruce Campbell in dorky looking clothes from Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat.

“Sundown: the Vampire in Retreat” is a really funny weird Western Horror Comedy movie. A young Bruce Campbell is in it too!

#TBBChat Q4

I’m trying out “slice of life” for my next book… but as it’s a horror novel, emphasis on the SLICE…

#TBBChat Q3

I like the idea of the Oni characters in Delicious in Dungeon. Just really big with weird horns is neat to me haha

#TBBChat Q2

My day job would probably be the same, my books take place in the real modern day world. I’m a Game Animator, so I guess the only fun way my job interacts with it is knowing maybe one of the characters plays Monopoly Go on the toilet or something haha
