All of them. They're children. I work with children about 15 hours a week so I can confidently say i don't need to go home to children either.
As a catholic, the practices may differ, but my grandmother is very devout and genuinely, passionately believes she owes much of her success in life to God. She has a small altar dedicated to santo niño in the hall and changes the figure's clothes every year. when my father and his sisters were chil…
My comic has been pretty emotionally subdued so far, slightly off-kilter, fraught with sad children and a pair of unlucky orphans, so i couldn't help but chuckle when one of the readers just said, "Sure kid, sleep at their house and shit on their cooking skills"
Cyborg 009!! used to watch it when I was 6. i liked his sensitive personality and cool scarf. <3 [image]
I think a lot of advice about panel composition also overlaps with advice about cinematography. The 180 rule, Dutch angles, perspectives, etc. When you see a movie or a shot you like, think about why you like it and see if you can apply it to your own work. [image] Here's a shot from Ivan's Childh…
I would sell my soul for laika to animate anything I wrote. They animate their characters so lovingly.
Ideally I prefer chewing gum and lollipops, anything that leaves my hands free otherwise i'll get distracted.
"anime!" "tim burton!" "scott pilgrim!" "can't you draw something happier :(" "can you draw me?? ("ok sure") wait why am i naked!!! ((("GIVE ME TEN MORE SECONDS WOULD YOU")))" "ugggh my god i'm never drawing again because of you" (uh thanks?)
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean when you say "computer photo." A program that can edit pictures which came from a photo or scanner: GIMP is the best one I know which is free. A program that can be used with a tablet to draw pictures on the computer: Medibang is free and I used to use it to…
Is there a cheap or used Wacom on Amazon? The Wacom I have is very small and cost 75 USD, but very durable and I have used it for 8 years without breaking it. If you can't get a Wacom, you can still draw comics on paper. You will need to be able to scan it or take a picture to get it on the comput…
not for my current webcomic, but for a future comic i took to looking up videos and articles of spiders mating, and after about half an hour of that dreck i had to take a break to scream into a pillow because i am afraid of spiders. after the break, i went back to find visual references of maggots, …
i write poetry and prose, and i also code -- although that's a side effect of being a computer science major :0
read rainy day, a webcomic featuring sad children, and vicariously experience fantastical adventures such as going to school and crying in your sleep
I had a nightmare a few nights ago where I went to the electronics store to buy headphones, but when I asked the store lady whch aisle the headphones were in, she just gave me a disgusted look and said I was in a furniture store. Welcome to my twisted mind
preferably in the middle of the day, especially since i have a large gap between classes and need some way to pass the time. but usually it ends up being me drawing at 1am until i'm shivering with fatigue.
A mixture. Usually I warm up with longform -- just because im most comfortable with it, the pen gets the ideas flowing, and much of my stories originally intended to be prose anyway --- then after maybe a page or so i get the hang of it, so i write the remainder in script form with thumbnails accomp…
My comic is called rainy day and it's always raining in the comic and I forget to draw the rain Every Single Time
It's a bummer when the creation is great but the creator is terrible. I've had my perception of some works soured by learning of their author's/artist's flaws or prejudices. Usually I'm able to admire the work despite the creator's beliefs or attitudes. If a story about acceptance and tolerance turn…
I accidentally apologized to someone while opening the door for them. This has happened multiple times. I was playing with my friend's cat and said "Lick me" in a commanding tone. My friend's back was turned, she didn't know the cat was in the room, and she got startled and confused because she th…
old stuff from my comic. concept art was mostly just me doodling in my spare time over the years. [image] [image] [image] [image]
I'd sell my soul for Laika to animate any of my stories, present or future.
Bluebeard is less of a favorite and more of something that terrified me as a child, but if it sticks out in my mind that much then it's worth mentioning haha. The mental image of the room filled with wives still gives me shivers.
i like writing science fiction, as a genre. for specific scenes i like arguments, whether heated or just an exchange of opposing ideas. ... i also like writing torture scenes, and characters suffering grievous bodily harm, and.....
no using rape to create dramatic/traumatic backstory. It seems to be used too often/poorly in fiction, and i think it would be good to keep myself from choosing the easy (and often offensive) plot point. on that note im not going to depict explicit sex, partly out of being raised catholic and partl…
I like blatantly unhealthy dark or tense romances where the dynamic looks more like a power struggle or a struggle to survive, like two animals circling each other. Maybe one is desperately affection-starved or maybe another is out for blood. although i guess that doesnt count as a romance at that p…
so i played that game you linked and uh [image] [image] ... ANYWAY calvin and hobbes has never failed to bring me comfort in difficult times : O as for webcomics, i'm quite partial to The Girl Who Flew Away. it's a little melancholy, but to enjoy reading something is enough to cheer me up : ) …
I have an entire playlist on spotify for this.... [image] it's a mix of songs that fit the story by lyrics, or just 60s love songs lmao the most fitting song i think is Parade, by The Antlers
here's one i made a few months ago. [image] Edward Gorey -- I like the bleak look of his artwork, which are usually coupled with morbid humor. The gashlycrumb tinies is one of my favorite picture books. Renee French -- You can find her blogspot online where she posts her artwork. Just about all …
i didn't really have anyone to play with as a young child so i'd try to make up imaginary friends. unconvinced of their existence, i decided to imagine what their lives were like instead. so my desire for storytelling is rooted in childish boredom. as for actually putting things to paper, i wrote …
senpai followed my art tumblr and i took 10 seconds to mumble astonished profanities into my hands and regain my composure. she called my gore art cute 
another senpai i met at a con and she remembered the fanart i drew of her webcomic!! and she said my characters were cute, then she gave me pock…
