I'll never quite understand people who use ComicFury for stuff that isn't comics. Tumblr is right there

if you want to experience comics for a minute, MAKE is on at Kensington Town Hall and there are so many cool artists selling their work and it's on until 4pm and it's wonderful

Students made their first minicomics in my intro making course - mostly standard format but this student, a first time maker(!), did something so off the charts I’m still reeling from it! & he made like 12 of them for his classmates! A paper engineering feat of flipbookery as well as killer drawing!

Oh, thanks for the heads up! It wasn't my personal page thankfully (mortifying) but it WAS the old url from before I decided to make my "OC blog" a strictly Silver & Iron blog and make a new OC blog with the old URL. But that's a good sign to make it easier to find Silver & Iron from that URL too

We get a glimpse at Heliotrope's (former) bedroom in this week's #Silver&Iron update! What would you take with you, if you had to start all over again...? #OCsky

LRP I draw pretty quickly and have been maintaining a page production pace that industry professionals have mentioned is a little faster than average and even I don't make two full pages a day. Huh. I think if you don't leave yourself any time to pause and reflect your comic and art suffers for it

Honestly I'd like to add you shouldn't even be following INDUSTRY standards unless you're IN the industry with a deadline that requires it. Nor pushing yourself to go above & beyond it. Set yourself w/ guidelines that suit you and account for REST, injury, holiday, and family/friends.

For the love of Kirby please do not listen to anyone who says you should be doing two finished pages of comic book art a day. It is a recipe for burnout, misery, and eventually, the destruction of your career. Industry standard is one a day, five a week. Period. Got it?

Comic tip for artists who struggle with layouts or making each page not so same-y: be less literal about where your characters are sometimes. Become more artsy with emotions they feel or information they share, you don't need them standing in the same room/position like a scene from a movie

Hi y'all, Recently we found out that my brother has a heart condition and will require extensive care. To cover some of the costs I'm running fundraiser by taking up commissions. Most tiers are affordable so people get some good art while helping us out. Plus a $1000 for those who can spare more.💜💜

Someone just reblogged this on tumblr with this tag and I just fucking died I've been on this shit for over a decade and it's only getting worse

I'm not saying this to be a hater because I'm still enjoying it, but the more I learn about Fields of M*stria's development the more I understand why it's... kind of like that

So my friend @wendyxu.bsky.social has been suspended, no reason given, and thus can't promote her popular procreate brush for colored pencils on here. Maybe we can help her out. ko-fi.com/s/cef920b108

Melbourne! This weekend is the inaugural MAKE--Melbourne Alternative (K)Comics Expo! makecomics.com.au I will be at table C7 alongside @kellysketches.bsky.social This will be my first Melbourne event with more than two copies of Strange Bedfellows!!!! Please come and say hi!

I keep planning/writing sexual tension between two of these characters and it never goes anywhere or even means anything lmfao. Like it doesn't reflect any actual desire on the characters' behalf, but it also isn't there as some metaphor or symbol. It's just incredibly fucky things keep happening

The biggest barrier of entry for creative spaces beforehand was giving a shit about making stuff. Thank god AI has removed this hurdle so now ppl who don’t care about anything can clutter these spaces up

comics are a thing you can just make thats crazy

The past couple of months have been so weird for me (one of those "hurry up and wait" moments) COMBINED with the fact that I just could not get the next chapter of S&I to gel in my mind so I was dragging my feet. BUT I GOT THE SCRIPT NOW!! I'm actually really happy with it and it all came together.

you like a webcomic but don't see much support for it? ya gotta yap!! tell your friends, the timeline - your peers! this entire scene relies on participation and word of mouth!

Another Werewolf Wednesday, another melancholic update for #Silver&Iron as Heliotrope returns home but home isn't there.

I try to be tolerant but I just have no respect for people who look at intentionally ambiguous storytelling and go "NO, actually, obviously there is ONE definitive concrete canonical answer and I will entertain NOTHING else" WHY DO YOU THINK IT WAS LEFT AMBIGUOUS THEN CRAIG!!!!!

Saw the second one. Emmett is really just happy to be included

LRT if you are making comics then I think it is imperative that you read (any genre, fiction non fiction, etc) and nothing can replace this, but I also think it's important to watch things outside your genre. Play games you wouldn't otherwise. Watch old/overseas movies, documentaries, TV shows, etc

the only non-negotiable for writing is you have to read. doesn't matter if you're writing comics, prose, screenplays. read. read books, articles, scripts, comics. fiction and non-fiction. read lots of 'em and never stop reading.
