If you're too afraid to make something stupid, you can't make something cool, because they're the same thing to different people

but if i'm not allowed to feed artists into my artist killing machine it's going to be basically impossible for the machine to keep killing artists. is that what you want?? and before you answer keep in mind this is a very expensive machine
Rouge and Shadow at the Roller Skating Rink! I love the idea of skates just being Shadow's thing,that he is able to skate using different types and that he would have to teach Rouge how to skate. I also find it cute if Rouge is an excellent spy but awful at something like skating.
Journal comics- escapism failed aka an excuse to draw ps1 graphics
My turn to put Team Dark in situations (Hmu if you want a sticker) #shadowthehedgehog #rougethebat #e123omega #teamdark #sonicheroes
Yeah! I use clip studio mostly for these features, I'm not sure what has equivelants in other programs! These also might not technically be considered accessibility features but they are to me, they're what keep me able to draw with my disability. little thread below on some csp features:
If I may ask, are there any particular accessibility features/tools you rly like for art? I disabled my hands a few years ago and I've gotten a hang of tools for general computer usage but don't know much about accessibility tools for art specifically yet
This is also a really important tip for if you're passing files to a publisher or editor - they may want to move or change your bubbles, and you need to be able to accommodate those changes!
Oh also, can I say as advice to people starting their own solo comic/webcomic, make it easy for yourself: Keep tidy layers, separate line art from bubbles, don't erase art, just use a white layer under lettering to block it out. If you ever need to edit the page in the future, it'll save you HOURS.
Sonic's World! The cover for 'Sonic The Comic' #26, May 27th 1994.
A collection of different custom pixel icons I've been working on for my PC Folders.
been rewatching owl house w my roommate and wanted to sketch my favs
I'll color this at some point. I drew this for Sonic's 30th, with @drawloverlala.bsky.social on layout duty. She's also colored the modern era page, which you should check out! She did an amazing job. If folks want to color this themselves for fun, I'll happy share the full size file later.
Sneak peaks at some of my DCxSonic flats. Because there's a lot of overlap in the scene with Shadow and Batman, I used some different shades of black so that it wouldn't just be one big selection. Hopefully this made it easier for Matt! Some folks might not flat the water lines, but I did lol.
Being an artist is like "when i finish this art project i am going to reward myself for working so hard by making this new art project" Over and over until you die.

"AI is coming, its inevitable" no its not you sniveling weirdo. how are those 3D TVs going. how are NFT markets looking these days. Seen anything cool in the metaverse lately? anyone who says we need to resign to using it, that itll be here whether we like it or not, is a feckless dipshit.
I rarely know how to best express my thoughts here, but with what's going on in the UK and indeed the world right now, is both saddening and infuriating. I can only hope that my trans followers know that they are valid, they are loved and that they are appreciated. Trans rights are human rights.
