ppl saying they look to my comics for inspiration and pointers on how to format things is WILDDDD to me (and delightful don't get me wrong!! i am overjoyed) because like. none of you are privvy to the absolute WAHHH I DONT WANNNAAA bitchfits i was *CONSISTANTLY* throwing every time i forced myself to make a comic before i got into isat. like no joke. i considered comics such a fucking difficult medium they always drained my drawing energy so hard because they always felt like they took sooo long and had so many moving parts and were so much harder than storyboards (WHICH I ALREADY STRUGGLED WITH) because you had to account for panel shape and speech bubbles and-- like you get it. but genuinely for real. the sheer amount that i complained whenever i clawed my way through drawing a comic (which thus! was not very fucking much!!) compounded by the fact that i *genuinely have trouble reading comics*. as in, i really struggle to parse the flow of contiguous movement or action between panels (possibly connected to the fact ive got mad aphantasia?) of even really well done best-of-the-best professional comics...

... BUT. basically. what im trying to get at is. if you wanna learn to draw comics, evidently you super can?! I genuinely *didnt* draw comics before drawing isat fanart! I have no idea what it was about ISAT fanart that made it finally click for me? (I think it was... not having to think about colour? Removing a step from the process really helped. Plus, it being fanwork meant I could just start en-medias-res and not have to think about setup... Trying to cram too much explanation and setup into my oc stuff was always a big hurdle too...)

I find them fast to do now! and damn if i dont value speed in art (<- impatient little fucker). its still going slowly on my oc comics.. mostly due to the colour again, i think. but it's not extremely, ecruciatingly difficult anymore. is what im saying. and im genuinely baffled by it every time i put pen to page. its fucked up. did you guys know that practice makes things easier? . fucking perverted if you ask me.

As for looking at other people's things for inspiration. if you want to know where I was looking when I was piecing together the first couple fancomics I did for ISAT i want to specifically point at . well besides everything rebecca sugar has ever done (for hands and facial expressions *especially*), the main person i really dug into the work of was Leo Fox (Website link). I feel like i wanna point people to the source of a lot of the inspiration for my more off-kilter panel choices so you all can get the full experience rather than through my regurgitated mimesis. I'm now at the point where i can wing panel layout so i wasn't in there for longgg but. everyone go add it to your knowledge banks as for SUBJECT MATTER aka why i am i so deranged. those are squarely the 2019 postcanon homestuck golden era bleeding through my CLENCHED BITTEN DOWN JAW. A BULL TERRIER ON YOUR BRACHIAL ARTERY. namely that @/floralmarsupial and @/tomatograter's works (no i am not tagging them . im shy) are things i go back to frequently and floralmarsupials pure black/white inktober comics were *especially* an inspiration. if you've been following me a few months you may remember me reblogging a bunch of their stuff from 2019~2021 for seemingly no reason. this was why. The narratively divorced reality of jade strider & Liminal Space are big in my mind here. I balk to call myself anywhere near as good as these but these are what i'm aiming for, tonally and quality-ways with it. also detective pony but ive mentioned that already and thats farrrr too inside baseball for this post.

BUT YEAH TL;DR: I DIDNT DRAW LIKE ANY COMICS UNTIL UHHHH LIKE, WHAT, LIKE 8 MONTHS AGO? JESUS. ANYWAY. THIS MEANS YOU 🫵🫵🫵 CAN DO IT TOO. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. DATTEBAYO!!!!

Penny Nichols (Ace Attorney) automatically passed this round

The lowest two will be eliminated

Propaganda under the cut

Penelope Pussycat (Looney Tunes) Propaganda

Penelope Pussycat is best known as the often bewildered love interest of Looney Tunes' anthropomorphic skunk, Pepé Le Pew. Penelope is a black and white cat, who often finds herself with a white stripe down her back, whether painted intentionally or by accident.

Leonie Pinelli (Fire Emblem Three houses) Propaganda

Pollrunner submitted

I call her Penny because I think it’s funny

She has a sibling/rival relationship to the main character that’s very funny. She’s a tomboy who wants to make a lot of money as a mercenary. As The only truly common commoner to make it into the Officer’s Academy, She wants to pay back her village for helping her.

Penny Pointer (Tangle Tower) Propaganda

Fashionista. Many Birds. [spoiler: Killed someone and also spent half her time running from her room to a different area wearing a disguise to pretend to be a detective which is dedication right there]

Sometimes I read posts on here and I realize that things I thought were fairly universal aren't, actually.

Got a post saved in my drafts about critical thinking so I can check the notes and think about it. It features a story about a high school teacher - note high school, not elementary - doing a really really basic exercise about critical thinking. And the notes are full of people saying wow I wish I had a teacher like that and great teaching and that sort of thing. It also mentions the students being a bit upset at first and accusing the teacher of confusing them, because they automatically believed anything the teacher said and when the teacher offered two sides of something and asked them to research and make up their own minds it weirded them out.

I am trying to remember if I have any stories from school but honestly I don't remember my classes very much. The formative experience from my childhood that I do remember and that I very often reference is when I read every book the local library had on the Holocaust when I was 9.

Wait....I am remembering something from sixth grade now. A research paper on escapes from POW camps during WWII. And an 8th grade group report on..I want to say WWII because if we got to pick our war of course I went with that one...that the teacher said my group should kiss my feet for. I'm not sure though because I think I remember playing a Johnny Horton song for the presentation and the only Johnny Horton song I can remember right now about war is The Battle Of New Orleans which is about the War of 1812. Wait wait, there's Sink The Bismarck about WWII!

Anyway, my point is that high school seems really late for learning about propaganda and learning to tell decent sources from obvious propaganda. But then like I've said before, I graduated in 1999 so I don't know what school is like now with NCLB.

Also I went to rural working class schools and the local library was of course a small rural library, so nothing special or particularly privileged or anything. So I never think that I was particularly privileged or weird or an outlier until I see Tumblr posts like that one where a lot of people agree that they had experiences completely different than mine, and I'm like ohhhh this explains a lot about the internet.

I bet they don't even let them watch ACC basketball tournament games in class anymore. Our teachers would roll in those TVs and we'd get to watch the games as long as we also quietly did our work.
