Recently played sovereign tower and it has engulfed my thoughts for a week. Such a fascinating cast of characters. Though I was tormented thru my first playthrough, I'm still in awe. I can't truly hate anyone ....except Tarcus probably. Also Arron best boy. I would give this kid a carrot. 🐲

LRT It's getting harder for webcomic folks to express the full breath of ideas through webhosting platforms like webtoons or tapas. Not all are bad (like comicfury), but something to keep in mind when someone wants to post on those platforms and has to face restrictions.

How comics actually work: some pages take an hour and some pages take eight hours and they're not always the ones you'd think. There are sometimes entire weeks taken up by research that MUST be completed before you can progress. And you also must account for several days lost to the Horrors

Wacom doing planned obsolescence with a "Thank you for your support" on their staggeringly overpriced products wasn't on my bingo card but I am UNSURPRISED. If you too are in this position, allow me to draw your attention to what's probably your best solution: opentabletdriver.net

So Wacom finally decided to pull the plug on my Cintiq 13HD. Kind of a barbaric move but I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to ensure continued support, either through a plugin or something of a similar vein. Any input would be appreciated.

Reminder - Webcomics mostly survive off word of mouth. If you enjoy something then talk about it or recommend it to people. I know we're in an age where rage drives clicks so maybe try to help a creator out by talking about their work.

Something I drew after beating Requiem. Still baffled I was able to beat most of my quest understanding Leon Kennedy for a few months. Might go back and try to play RE6 to get another context of the full picture... Color Pencil and Micron on toned paper.

One thing about “breaking into comics” is that unless you mean “I want to be so famous I never need to look for a gif and/or have full autonomy to do whatever I want and be paid for it,” you can do it right now. Just draw a comic and print it out. Get a table at a small local comic fest.

One thing about "breaking into comics" that I think a lot of creators need to process is that unless you mean is "I want to be so famous I never need to look for a gig and/or have full autonomy to do whatever I want and be paid for it" then it's a myth. It's always going to be a freelance hustle.
