Webcomic artist and coder. Read my webcomic "Ikon: Eternal Life For A Living" at https://ikon.cfw.me - it's a historical crime fantasy about art smugglers trying to pay off mob, medical, and metaphysical debts
dear past self why the hell did you name all your assets "comic-backgrounds-1", "comic-backgrounds-2", did you not think you would have, I don't know, multiple backgrounds what am i to do here open 5000 files like stewie guessing a phone number? 111, 111, 1111 - damn 111, 111, 1112 - damn!!

Here's a process peek, this is how my #webcomic is written and edited, I have a TEAM a team I don't pay chief costume designer @beefsen.bsky.social
New page of my #urbanfantasy #webcomic today, featuring my adorable wrench-wench, Lada, look at her pretty face. Ikon is about a counterfeiter resorting to art smuggling to pay off mafia debts only to get entangled into an occult underworld. Check it out at ikon.cfw.me
Oh my God in Canada they sold Ladas but they called them DENNIS there is a type of car in Canada literally named DENNIS just, just Dennis and it's the VAZ 2107
Okay so I'm researching for my webcomic and by that I just mean "looking for photo refs of a lada samara" which is a car and #TIL they sold soviet cars in Australia in the 80s???? and people ... just bought them? In Australia???? What?? also look at this commerical www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMdv...

Check out this total QT Today I updated Ikon and you can read the newest page at ikon.cfw.me where awkward eye contact is made with a lady who might or might not be a witch we should weigh her #webcomics #indiecomics #urbanfantasy #magicalrealism #historicalfiction #digitalart
Yuri's stupid expressions are usually my favorite part of the pages I draw #digitalart #webcomics #indiecomics
more #webcomic #digitalart #wips I was using the phone scene in Mean Girls as reference for how she's holding that phone
IDK about your creative process but I rarely know what the actual dialog is until the last second. The script is vibes, motives and gists. In the meantime I subject my friends to WIPs with stupid shit like this #webcomics #digitalart #artprocess #wips
Here's another #wip - this page was a collab with Guy Percinn who writes Arkin Blade (arkinbladecomic.cfw.me) - he did the panels/staging but I didn't give him dialog, just a high level concept and instructions to allocate space for dialog. He gave me this sparkling gem #webcomics #digitalart
Ah wait, I LIED, apparently I took more time than that *not actual dialog
Rockabetty@rockabetty.bsky.social · 2y agoFun to peek at peoples' processes and WIPs. I once took a screen shot every 10 minutes for a panel, check it out. I should do this again to figure out how much time to budget on stuff. Anyway, looks like this panel took an hour. #digitalart #art #wips #webcomics #indiecomics

Imagine a burger from a place that uses those disappointing flat Whataburger buns but actually passes health inspection and can prove it came from the kitchen without being tampered with. And you can't eat it until you squeeze on some magic secret sauce the burger joint personalized to you.

3 things that inspired my #webcomic: - The opening scene in Khabinsky's 'Admiral' - JC Leyendecker's exuberant brush strokes (and beautiful men) - An interview in Comrade Criminal with an international art smuggler who just wanted to be a humble dentist :(
Spello@spelledeg.bsky.social · 2y agoShow off your webcomic and 3 things that inspired it
Your soul gets shoved into a crow when you die in my #webcomic inspired by Balto-Slavic paganism. You are now birb. You remember some of your old life but you have no thumbs and an insatiable desire for shiny things. How do you feel? To me the gift of flight is not worth not having thumbs
I shut down my Patreon a hot minute ago but I did have one so BINGO.

This panel is from a scrapped version of Ikon I wrote in ~2014. Looking at it with my current monitor, it seems I didn't realize perspective lines are still in the drawing! But it's a nifty look. This drawing aged well, do you have some old art you still like? #digitalart #webcomics #indiecomics
Here's a panel of the page I'll be putting out Monday. You happen to have any WIPs or sneak peeks on you? Show 'em to meeeee. #indiecomics #webcomics #digitalart #urbanfantasy
This is my favorite panel in Ikon for many reasons including but not limited to the talking bird. If you have a #webcomic then show me your favorite panels and tell me why you like them! I'm fond of this one because of its humor and mix the of magic and mundane, in a nutshell.
I'm telling you shipost #fanart is a joy to receive this one is from @sheepshekets.bsky.social and just look at it Check out her horror and dark humor #webcomics, Domestic Hell Land (domestichellland.cfw.me) and Comedy of The Carrion Angels (cotcacomic.cfw.me).
More glorious shitpost #fanart from Guy Percinn who writes Arkin Blade (www.arkinbladecomic.cfw.me) I cherish any and all shitpost fanart This one is of one of the antagonists from my #webcomic, Yuri. He's a leonine himbo from like 1100 AD and this is probably how he's going to end up LBR
I need you to look at this #fanart that Guy Percinn drew me to compare our #webcomic protagonists. Guy draws Arkin Blade (arkinbladecomic.cfw.me) and I draw Ikon (ikon.cfw.me) and this stupid masterpiece is in my top 5 favorite fanarts
