Seuthes III was a king of the Thracian kingdom of Odrysia during the late 4th century BC. We don't know many details of his reign but the discovery of his tomb in Bulgaria in 2004 has provided archeologists with a treasure-trove of artifacts including this remarkably lifelike portrait of Seuthes himself in bronze.

Trying to reply to this comment but I keep getting an error so I’ll just do it in a post:

When I was working on the Rapunzel comic, I wrote this post it as a reminder for myself and put it on my desk.

I knew that I would never finish the comic if I wanted to make it look different, or better, or WHATEVER, from the way I naturally make things. That comic was, in part, a deliberate demonstration I made to prove to myself that I could draw in a way that came naturally to me and that was fine. Given the response to that comic, that has proven completely true.

But let’s look at a couple more post-its I have on my desk because that’s a thing I do.

This is the one I wrote when I was working on my recent Falling Leaves comic:

Perfectionism is the enemy. Wanna make a comic? Scared it might be bad? Not sure the right way to do it? Make it anyway.

You learn to make comics by making comics. Even if they look like you, with all your imperfections and possible lack of skill, made them. Even if you aren’t “good enough” to make it “good”.

Just make stuff.
