Some feedback thoughts:
Does the link between his roles and his dreams need to be more direct (or: are all of his roles key info here? How? Similar note for murderous ex).

Belated Art Every Day 61: made a fresh batch of sprites for ECCC!

A sketched comic panel of the upper half of a sleeping face. The lines have been drawn with different pencil brushes, and the drawing is shaded with hatching and halftones.

What if I just... spent more time trying out brushes... 🎨

A digital illustration in the style of a pencil sketch, featuring two comic characters sitting on an overstuffed couch. The first character leans on the second's shoulder and gazes at a phone; the second has their hands tucked into their hoodie pocket. Their expressions rest between disinterested and slightly disgruntled.

I’m giving it to someone I know, so they can try out a graphics tablet for the first time. Second monitor would be a neat idea if I had the space, though!😊

A digital pencil sketch of a Wacom graphics tablet with a scratched screen.

Finally replacing my decade-old workhorse of a Wacom Cintiq 13HD today-- this thing saw 5 webcomics, 3 graphic novels, countless illustrations, and has an entire vortex of scratches on the screen to prove it. 🥲 Kinda sad to see it go.

Hiii, it’s nice to meet you!!😊 I was lurking my notifs and it led me to your comic, and reading it was like taking a deep breath I really needed. I’ll be eagerly waiting for updates!

I've made 60+ pages of Small Wonders now and still don't know where it's going, but that's kind of The Point. (My challenge is stopping myself from comparing it to the original series-- the things I want to get from making this are going to be different and I'm still figuring out what that means).

Art Every Day 24: Romeo & Juliet, but instead their plan to elope succeeds and it turns into a coming-of-age road trip between two irresponsible teens just learning about first loves, themselves, and how unprepared they are for the world.
