You ever just sit in bed + feel the weight of your responsibilities bear down on you + you feel like everything is too much + you’re so tired but you don’t want to sleep because then you’ll have to wake up + have another tiring day tomorrow? (On an unrelated note I forgot to take my meds yesterday)

i'm not even joking when i say httyd is one of the most perfect films, animated or otherwise, out there. to make a shot for shot "LiVe AcTiOn" remake is insulting to the original, the artists that worked on it, and to animation as a storytelling medium as a whole

most of the return-to-office mandates come from a similar place: managers who need to justify their own existence. because let's be real — if you can't rely on adults to work well from home, you did a shitty job of hiring.

Does anyone here do trailers for comics (w/ animation effects using existing art)? Please point me in their direction. I would love to hire someone so I don't have to learn to do it myself lol

Read something other than comics before you try to make comics. Don’t get me wrong, read a SHITLOAD of comics. But also read prose fiction, non-fiction, biographies, textbooks, encyclopedias, and other kinds of books. Comics inspired only by other comics are not good comics.

There are a billions of people. It is not possible that there is no one who wants to read your work, or doesn't connect with it. With these type of numbers there are thousands or even millions of people who will like your work. Distribution/gatekeeping is our barrier. Write for those people anyway.

The intense fear of actively including romance, eroticism or even deep platonic feelings in entertainment — let alone games — is so hilarious. I’ve been arguments that romance “cheapens” a narrative or it doesn’t sell when it has consistently been a prevalent genre that out survived so many trends.

Do you forget to use alt-text when you post images? I'm forgetful, too. Fortunately, you can turn on reminders! Settings -> Accesibility -> Require alt text. Done! Easy accessibility.

Boy have I missed/do I love hand-lettering. I stopped for a while both because my lettering is pretty wide and it was a space concern, and because I reckoned it took too long, but man alive I do love it. It ain't perfect but that's okay, it's me and it suits my art.

You are fantastic. You are a living grimoire. You are the dreams of an eldritch goddess. You are a tiny library in the hollow of an ancient oak. You are a swarm of faeries writing poetry on the night sky with streaks of glittery flames.
