SO @iniquitousfish.bsky.social drew a short comic that is in the second Sorcery 101 omnibus. One of my notes to her was that she had to change the tv because only a year had pasted for the sorcery 101 characters. So they were in 2006 not 2017

They did that for Lock and Key. It turns out very nice, but obviously Stephen Kings’ son is gonna get more resources than your average comic creator

20. Neither. I like to draw with an audiobook, podcast, or tv show on.
If I have silence or music, I'll get distracted reading something online. But stuff with talking prevents me from doing that.
I also like chatting with someone while drawing (hense why I usually have a streaming cohost)

17. I at least try to. Shards of Reflection was me trying to be a bit more experimental storytelling wise.

16. The easiest thing to draw is characters talking.

15. The most difficult thing to draw is a high way/car chase. For some reason I'm a fool and decided to put on at the end of Sorcery 101.

5. I used to use reference a bit more before the pandemic (I would take pictures of friends in poses based off my roughs), but haven't been able to get far enough ahead to start doing that again. So currently reference is just for particularly hard poses or animals.

4. I like to draw facial expressions and I like to draw city streets so I can put silly signs in the background.
My favorite thing to ink is leaves.

1. I actually like my combo of traditional and digital. I thumbnail with a ballpoint pen because want to sit somewhere without distractions. Pencil in CSP because easier to resize and move things. Ink with a brush and ink because I don't want an undo button. So both evenly!
