I love Golden Shrike! I've had my own comic idea for about a decade now, but I'm wondering, for you, how long did it take you to be confident enough with your art to start your comics? had you attempted panels and backgrounds earlier and didn't put them out because you weren't happy with them yet? I'm almost done with my characters and writing but I'm worried I'm not good enough to actually start doing panels
(these are just my views and experiences! there's as many approaches as there's artists)
I was BAD when I started comics, but then I again I was a kid who didn't care if my bunny-cat-digimon comics weren't good enough, it was just fun to do. Which is what it should still be, fun and a fulfillment to you. I think the happiest an artisit can be is when they can draw like they have no audience.
My comics stopped in my teenhood when I actually wanted to make something good. I made so much groundwork but VERY rarely got to the actual page production because I thought everything should be perfect, but we all know there's no such thing. When I noticed all my attempts were doomed, I stopped making them for like ten years until I was zapped with Fuck It We Ball-mentality. And it's the best thing that has happened to me. Childhood whimsy. Make your own toys.
Did I make test pages for Golden Shrike before starting production? Well, the first page of the comic is a test page. And the second page. And the whole first chapter. I just never stopped. Not smart but it's what works for me. Starting these 'test pages' has kickstarted two bigger comics for me, Golden Shrike and Jet and Harley.
Sure I made couple of style tests for GS even though I had a clear visual vision from the start, but Jet and Harley I just started to draw without any real practice pieces, just based on couple of CSP brushes I wanted to use. This isn't very smart as you'll likely find out later that MAN, this style takes too much effort, but if you're unlike me and don't care so much for consistency, you can always simplify it on the fly. And even I've had to change it: I stopped shading after chapter 5, briefly used 3D assets in upcoming pages, now I'm gonna shrink the font a little. They're teeny tiny things for readers, but huge for me.
There's many comic authors who like to plan every little detail before getting to work, but it doesn't work for me so I can't say much about it. I have a skeleton to follow, but I fully flesh out each chapter one by one when I reach them with pages, because I like to revisit my old visions with fresh brains. When you actually get to work, you might realize some scenes aren't needed, or they'd be better changed. Don't be scared to crack some ribs off your story skeleton. Being too loyal to your old vision can often hinder you.
Starting production is the biggest monster in comic making, but after the first step you'll mow over it leaving it in your dust and create a baby you can be so proud of. I wish you, and everyone else on the cusp of their projects GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, LOVE YOUR WORK.

silly post before i sleep but i like seeing peoples responses to my other post!! talking about their favs, how who they liked changed over time or if they immediately latched on and never changed! its so fun and interesting to see peoples responses i love human interaction
#sand speaks#its extra nice cuz i had a much different opinion of the fandom during amanes trial (ngl i was scared or pissed off by almost everyone cuz#of the hostility during her trial whoops) but this is letting the true nature of fandom shine#just having people talk about whos their favourite#what they love about a character#its nice.#also i do want to note that im not antagonising anyone who was hostile during amanes trial cuz i was reversely hostile and kinda asshole-is#too haha#i think i was too new to the fandom to have been making full posts cuz damn i was. rude. wouldnt be surprised if some had me blocked haha#but yeah now that im more aquainted w the fandom + have other ways to express distaste that dont involve putting it online (aka complain to#friendw who will listen)#the fandom feels a lot more cozy :) feels like my time in the ho//ow knight fandom/pos#i do wish i posted less about meaner things lmao. shoulda stayed in my ipad notes ffs#i mean they were funny but probably only to my friends nd not to the average viewer#sandy rumbles#thats my talk too much and too sentimental tag. blacklist it#i do like how calm the fandom is now tho. i hope no strong hostility pops up again haha

M.r Magnus I wish I could jsut call you Jonag
Can Icall you Jonah. I like that name its a nice first name. Fid you knownmy nqme isn't actually Lena? ait was origially spelled Leena like with two ees but my mum said brits wojldnt be able to pronoucne that righy so she changee it to Lena eith one e...I misst the oth3r pronounciation the way my dad usee to pronounce it it was better. Feltb more like me
Anyeqys thats nto what I wanted to say I wanted to say you're really nice to me and I ddon't know why!!!! And I want to be youe friend, for realsies...I don't knowww I don't have any other friebds I just can't cannlt connect with peiple. Thee way other people do. Thinkt ehe's somethkng wrong with my brain. Badly. But if I coule be friendw with anhone I would want it to eb you. And not just flr tve datq
Regafs,
Lens Kelly, Office if Incdient Assemsnet and Repsine
I—thank you, I like my name rather a lot too. Given I'm now open about it... I suppose there's no point to avoid saying that I chose it myself, and so I appreciate the compliment even more. You may call me Jonah, and I hope that I am in turn permitted to call you whichever version of your first name you would prefer to me to use? Your name—and especially the original spelling of it—is lovely as well.
As to why I am nice to you—well, I try to make a habit of being at least polite to most people until they've done something to grievously offend me, for one. But... I don't know. I recognise something in you that is also in me, the same as when I'd first met Jonathan. And, just the same, I feel... fond of you much quicker than I would for most others.
I would be happy to be your friend, I think.

Ang reason sa mga paglilikes ko even sa mga random post dito or sa ibang social media platforms (mostly sa mga mutuals, mga random at sa mga personal na kakilala) ay yung tinatawag ko na presence support. Hindi porket naglilike ako lalo na sa mga babae o mga lalaki eh may gusto na ako or what, hindi ganon yun. Yung pag lilike ko (pag nakita o nadaanan ko) is way ko of supporting people lalo na sa mga small wins, big wins at mga success na meron sila sa araw-araw. It also a reminder for me to be stronger kasi nag roroot ako sa mga taong lumalaban sa buhay, kilala ko man o hindi. Pati hindi na kasi ako yung pala convo na tao, busy is real at adulting na, kapag nakikita kong buhay yung mga taong nakilala ko noon eh masaya na akong makita silang buhay until now. For me nag aappreciate ako ng mga tao kahit di nila ako kilala pati ma appreciate pabalik, kasi before may mga tao din na nag appreciate sakin on my lowest point, sa mga messy years ko, may mga dumamay, and even nawala na sila halos lahat sa buhay ko, in my way I also supporting people, silently. Kaya if may mga tao man dito na hindi okay, tandaan niyo I got your back. May naniniwala pa rin sa inyo, malalampasan niyo lahat, kasi sila nga nagawa nila, tayo pa kaya? So wag susuko sa buhay. And if may mga kakilala kayo na hindi okay sa buhay lalo na sa social media, check them if they need something (wholesome) not negative or may bad motives. Let's support each other lalo na sa mga family natin (good family) and friendw (real friends). Hindi kasi sobrang haba ang buhay, so let's cherish the moments with our loved ones, let's be good and respectful din into others. ✨

top 5 quillkiller thoughts while you're drunk ☝️
HI ily
1. they should kill each other. for fun
2. rita is way way way crazier thhan bellatrix. especiqllu pre azkaban. rita is the stalkers manipulative strange off putting more intense one
3. i hate the hc that rita chooses her career over bellatrix / or that bellatrix choose voldemort over rita. to me its all about desperation and trying for as long as they possibly can to hold onto each other even though their fates are already written
4. bellatrix never forgives rita for the article and rita never forgives bella for the mark
5. they’re not rivals to lovers. they’re unlikely friendw to lovers. no one else expects them to be friends and even less so bella or rita. but they learn they have more in common than they ever thought. unlikely best friends to lovers is The Trope for them. accordint to me
