Dan’s voice when he reads “joy and pride”, then holding their chests, saying “aww”, pointing at the Dan and Phil growth part. Thank you for putting these feelings into words. 🥹

I bet Dan and Phil will save the comic to look at in more detail and talk to each other about it. 🙌🏻🥹

i hope so😭😭 i still havent processed it to be completely honest it doesnt feel real, no matter how much i’ve rewatched the clip over and over

can i ask what some of your artistic influences have been? inspirations / artists and things you've learned from?

the two constants for inspiration and influences have been jamie hewlett and then “the true lives of the fabulous killjoys” comic by gerard way tbh 😭 discovered both of those when i was 13 and my life was changed forever

but!! nowadays i get a lot of inspo from indie comics and zines!

other big inspirations are andrew maclean, mark schultz, junji ito, ketsuya terada, and rod reis! i tend to gravitate more towards artists who rely mainly on b&w/inks bc thats my favorite part of the drawing/comics process (and also bc i consider colors my weakest skill)

but also another book that rlly helped me is “the 5 c’s of cinematography”. i had to read it for class and its mainly a film composition book, but helped a lot with my panel variety and finding angles and compositions

I stumbled onto your tit comic and i'm moved and amazed. the composition, your style, your use of the little dots, it's really great and I was wondering if you had any tips for making comics? how do you make them dots? i'm trying to start out and seing your work has inspired me, because wow. forgot how powerful the comic form could be

I JUST SAW THIS SORRY!!!

the dots are screentone brushes! i personally use the true grit supplies brush pack, but i understand theyre expensive so im sure you could find cheaper/free alternatives for whatever program you use.

when it comes to making a comic and starting out with nothing, i tend to get a little overwhelmed so i try to break my story/idea page by page and plan what the page will start and end at. if that makes sense. and then i can get more detailed with figuring out each panel

as for like composition, i try to keep my pages 5-7 panels max (unless im trying to display a montage? of some kind, ie the fourth page of the tit comic) and in my opinion, one of the biggest things to make sure is that your pages/panels arent a bunch of floating heads talking. pulling the camera out or pushing it in is really effective so you dont have a bunch of panels of ppl from the shoulders up talking.

(i visualize my comics/scripts out like a movie in my head and just try to translate that onto a page to the best of my ability tbh)

i would seriously just recommend taking a lot of time to play around with thumbnails and do most of your planning there. forcing yourself to do multiple thumbnails of the same page can help you create some great stuff.

this may all seem kind of basic, unfortunately while i have a bfa in comics i am by no means a professional. but if you have any questions pls let me know!! love to talk comics and creation

How do you feel about making Dan cry in the new video

i think this legitimately might be the craziest thing to happen to me Like thank you dan for crying

[emuhlo]

the reading of the whole comic (which was so lovely omg I echo every word of the sentiment) felt like something new?

like. that was a pretty close view of something a fan had done that wasn't just a silly edit or a drawing of dnp. something where you get the joke or the point immediately and move on.

no, the comic was earnest and sincere and genuine. and dnp slowed down to really engage with it. and it seemed to affect them very earnestly and sincerely and genuinely. there was a jump cut and dan seemed to be a bit teary when they were wrapping up.

idk i'm feeling perceived. more than before. but in a loving and curious way, a deeper way. almost like instead of opening their door to us, they opened OUR door and stuck their head round it and offered up a plate of sliced fruit, you know?

@emuhlo thanks for your beautiful work!! congrats <3
