Back when we were called NERDS LOL

It's so nerve-racking sometimes to make a comic. At all times, I feel like I am laying out my heart for anyone to see, to inspect, to pick apart 💔

I was blessed to see my University History Teacher, and Elegant Writer, Damon L. Fordham at work today! For a Flavorful and Unfiltered Genuine look at History read his books! #BlackHistory #History

I uploaded my animation I did weeks ago in class! youtu.be/Qt9bJfmJ2Qk?...

It's preaching to the choir, but yeah.... I have not had a break from IRL bs in like 2 years, and even my art has been largely flopping online. Like... Idk what to tell y'all anymore, but it's getting harder and harder to create, and without support (financial or otherwise) we artists won't last

Sooo I'm back in College for my Associates Degree in Animation, So here's my first 3D Model I made and will animate The Powerpuff Dynamo!

Some of my favorite Black RomComs: Deliver Us From Eva: twist on Taming of the Shrew Booty Call: Raunchy screwball comedy of errors Boomerang: Underrated Eddie Murphy movie

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

Corporations raising prices left and right because they can, I do not think they understand: I will not just take that shit. I will find another company to pay for the service, and if no other company exists, I will do without, or learn a new skill just to spite them.

I really want more writers to embrace “I don’t know.” You don’t have to know how all of your mythology perfectly fits. You don’t need to know how the magic works or how the lore all connects. Sometimes fantasy stories are just isolated little fables, best understood by the heart, not the head.

It was hammered into my brain (by educators, by relatives, by the news, etc) to not believe everything said or seen online and to check multiple credible sources before accepting information to be true and I don’t know when that went out the window, but it sucks

Shield he technically already has, I raise you Chains! He gives me Andromeda Shun Vibes! Sweet, Feisty and Dangerous!

The old art share continues with some more promotional art for the comic~ We have this as a 2x5 banner that we put up at the booth. If you'd like to read Mahou Shounen FIGHT! you can find it on tapas: tapas.io/series/Mahou... Or you can order the 212 page book on our websites ScuttlebuttInk.com

Life is a bit rough right now anything helps if you can. Thank You all! ko-fi.com/rosewarlock/...

Had the opportunity to take on a colored rough animation commission for heyokjc (instagram) of a werewolf transformation! 🐺 I had SO much fun working on this. Thank you so much again! 💖 - #animation #werewolf #2Danimation #characteranimation #freelanceanimation #furryart #animator #transformation

So I made my official Profile on my personal Tapas my Personal Image (Left) and My Professional Tapas Profile (Right) Known so you know where to look for me or my comments! Holy Havoc (WIP) was testing my Comic size for Tapas. If it interests you..I still have the pilot, I can put all WIP pages up

Hey do you wanna fight bookbanning? are you a fan of lists and spreadsheets? Kelly Jensen has a spreadsheet for you of very doable actions. you can probably check off a few today!

Ringing in the new year with some new Mahou Shounen FIGHT! art~ We're getting back into the swing of things after a super long hiatus and now working with new pencil artist Anna Wieszczyk (www.instagram.com/awww___comics/). Excited to bring you chapter 6! Read MSF: tapas.io/series/Mahou...

This is my singular gripe during this holiday is somehow THIS MIX UP.

You don't need a background in every panel of your comic- here's how to use them effectively! Read more in my book How to Webcomic! https://thestarfishface.com/products/how-to-webcomic #art #webcomics

Re-drawing some oooooooold fanart. I'm excited to compare when I'm finished! The designs are from the comic Mahou Shounen Fight by @scuttlebuttink.bsky.social . #WIP

Q. What's one of your favorite quirks Jack has? #Beanstalked #OC #OCsky

LRT I like remakes of games but I think of them in the same way I would musical covers. Some are terrible, some are fantastic, but they aren't substitutes for the originals nor should they ever be. I want a world where both are available, and not to only uber collectors

Here's another peek into the content that's exclusive to our book, whether digital or print. These are from an illustrated story where the team explores a water park searching for wayward spirits. Get MSF! on Amazon: a.co/d/d44whcC Or in print at ScuttlebuttInk.com #comics #indycomics #lgbtcomics

Guess we should actually make a post to introduce ourselves -- we're 2 Elder Millennial NBs who have been making webcomics since the early 2000s. We spent around 15 years going to conventions where we did artist alley, cosplay and masqs with Gomu Gomu no Cosplay. #meettheartist ScuttlebuttInk.com

You *don't* want a big account to launch you out of your target audience. I swear on everything you want to merge your follower counts with accounts of similar size to yours by becoming genuine friends with people like you on BlueSky. I am being so serious.

Merm!

I WAS EXPECTING CORY TO GIVE THE USUAL "YOUTUBER SITS DOWN IN A CHAIR AND EXPLAINS WHY THEY WERE ABSENT" WAS THAT AN ANIME TRAILER HAS HE BEEN WORKING IN A SERIES THIS ENTIRE TIME!?!?!?

I think a lot of folks really do fail to realize that the vast majority of artist's tiers *are* just a couple of bucks. Like 'oh I can't afford it' because they think it's a 30 dollar subscription. But it's not. Seriously, actually click on a patreon/ko-fi and *look* at the tiers.

Oh yeah, heads up again if anyone's getting their bookkeeping together. And Square, and Ko-Fi, and others… peep the replies.

PLEEEAAASSSEE THIS SHIT WAS MY JAM AS A KID

Hey #Comic artist and #Webcomic artist, is it okay to do a 4 pages a month, even if things start slow in the story or go for a biweekly which might be more stressful?

May 13. This is going to be an important, evidence-based argument. #AIhype #AIresistance thecon.ai

Uhhh?? I forgot I made these two! I was trying to make my own head-canon characters for a Pokémon game set somewhere in the Caribbean! I know the idea also was for them to climb up trees and change into their swimsuits which is underneath their main clothes! I tried okay! 😭

It might not be December, As this has been a wild Year....but it will be soon! When my life stabilizes

Your work isn’t always for everyone including publishers & that’s okay. Don’t listen to what negative people say, it has value even if it doesn’t conform & it absolutely does have a market somewhere. **Everything** has an audience, even the weird stuff, it’s just tricky to find them!
