I made a Clip Studio TIPS guide on consistently working on a webcomic! If you're struggling to start your own or having trouble being consistent I hope this guide can offer some help!

You can click here if you wanna read it for free and are sick of me pitching it to you!

In the guide I go over:

Tips on planning your comic

Tips on creating a production pipeline, and an example of what I use

Tips on planning how to sit down and actually WORK on your comic

Ideas on how to stay motivated while working on a long-running comic

Practical advice to keep improving your production pipeline

If any of that sounds helpful, please consider reading it, favoriting it for later, or sending it to a friend who keeps saying they want to make webcomics ^.^

I made a new video, this time talking about the dangers of becoming a slave to your art style.

I talk about how many artists, myself included, are in the search of finding their artist identity, without realizing how detrimental it can be to your evolution as an artist.

The ongoing AI battle. I had to unfollow yet another author, and stop supporting their patreon. It breaks my heart. It really does. I understand the excitement of “oh look people made fanart”, but the cost is this. If you share AI Art, you promote it. You say it’s okay. It’s to be tolerated. You may not be able to stop people from doing it, but you sure as hell can stand with artists and not give it your platform.

AI Art is ART THEFT. Periodt.

Really stings with authors tho. Especially since I know so many struggle and feel burned when people leak their patreon stuff. Don’t be a hypocrite. If you share and promote AI art you’re not better than someone benefitting from someone else’s leak.

if you have a trakteer.id account and the money to spare, consider supporting a small-time queer indonesian artist! https://trakteer.id/cakargambar

OKAY BUT ACTUALLY I used to not really "get" modern/abstract art, even when I was a student studying to get my degree, and I had to make some my freshman year. And honestly, I didn't get it until at a museum trip standing in front of a large solid black painted canvas one of my professors explained to me that the solid black canvas was painted by hand. There was no indication that there was ever a brush there whatsoever, it looked printed. And yet it was hand-painted, and even more so the artist had mixed the paint for that themselves. And that shade of black was consistent. If you've ever tried to mix paint for yourself, or hell even get colors matched, you know how hard that is.

That experience alone cemented the fact that at least as far as my personal understanding of abstract art, it's a really valuable way to explore artistic concepts (color, rhythm, etc) without the complications of adding a subject that people start attaching meanings you don't want to it. It's a way of just getting so lost in the making part, in just the aesthetics. It's also a way of saying something really complicated in a really simple manner if you do end up using subjects or names that are recognizable.

Anyway that's my mini 7am ramble about abstract and by extension modern art.

I'm so sick of bloody NFT people emailing me about using my art. No. Fuck off.

The only real enquiries I've gotten were from my ancient DeviantArt and my Instagram. Art Station somehow only ever generates enquiries from NFT people.

THIS ALSO GOES FOR ART.

Creatives want to talk about their work!!! We just also don't wanna be annoying as heck so you gotta prod us a bit! Or sometimes the satisfaction comes from someone else finding the little secrets we put in!!!

Everytime I see posts like this I get filled with such profound sadness

Cause you know who has the same brainrot as you? The same unhinged feelings as you after you've read the fic? The person who always wants to scream about the fic with you?

THE PERSON WHO WROTE IT

I never used to leave comments but since I got into the habit of commenting on everything i enjoy it's been incredible. Especially when the author gets back to me about it and we get to have a discussion of what other ideas they had. One writer replied to my comment with a 5 paragraph essay detailing the Floorplan of the building the characters lived in and it was incredible

Anyways this is all to say that if you find a fic that just makes you want to scream from the rooftops, leave a comment saying that to the author and maybe they will join you and you can scream incoherently together

Wanting to start sharing my art again but the fear of AI is too real
