#my process can be all over the place

YOUR STYLE IS SO CHARMING OMGGG YOU ARE AMAZING!!😭💗💗💗💕💕💕 May I know what you draw on and what program you use???🥺🥺🥺 And how much time do you spend on one comic?😳💕💕 I'm really curious but you don't have to answer if you don't want to!! Have a nice day🥰🥰🥰

YOU ARE SO SWEET THANK YOU!! 💕💕

I’m more than happy to answer all your questions! I currently use Procreate on my iPad for all of my drawings. I used to use Clip Studio Paint on my laptop, but I decided to splurge on a new iPad last summer and needed a new art program, so I chose Procreate because I heard a lot of great things about it! I really like it and feel it’s so easy to use.

As for my comics it really depends on several factors: the length of the idea, the coloring, and my passion for the project overall! The last one can be very important as if I’m really invested and excited about an idea it can take me about 3 days to complete, one day for sketching and preliminary lineart, day two is dumping colors and finishing lineart, and day three is shading. I’d say typically on average about 5 to 7 days for a comic that’s four to six pages long! The recent one of Silver and Lilia painting took me five days, though it would’ve taken four cuz I was just lazy on one day last week and did like a text bubble and called it quits lol

The process kinda looks like this, I’ll use an upcoming Sebcroc ceremonial robes comic to show my process:

Step 1 is sketching it out to know what dialogue I want, where to place characters, making sure to make each page different so the layouts feel fresh and not dull/repeated:

Step Two is actually lining everything. Usually I start with the text and text bubbles, then move on to characters. Eyes usually come last because I sometimes find them hard to draw…

I would show step three, but I haven’t actually colored this one yet, but imagine the page is colored and full of life! Then I just repeat on other pages till it’s done and ready to post. Thank you for the lovely ask, hopefully I answered all your questions! 💕

I cannot wait for this Stan to reconnect with his Ford.

I still haven't figured out HOW exactly they'll meet yet, but I do think that Ford would ATTACH himself to Stanley and talk his ears off forever when they eventually get comfortable :] and Stanley would listen because HOLY SHIT, THAT'S HIS BRO HE HASN'T SEEN FOR 40-ISH YEARS, HE MISSED HIS VOICE. Nonstop certified Yapper & Listener relationship <3

Stanley looks dead faced because of his ingrained poker face, but he's thouroughly enjoying it, even if sometimes he has no idea what the fuck Ford is saying. He never interrupts him though, since he knows people usually ignore or interrupt him mid-talk already. So sometimes Stan gets stuck in awkward situations where he has to leave or do stuff, but also doesn't have it in his heart to stop Ford and extract himself out of a (one-sided) conversation.

Gosh, do I love discovery writing. The freedom. The sense of play. The way you have to hold the material lightly and follow where it leads, never being afraid to scrap things that don't work or to rewrite to emphasize things that do. You have the fun of discovering the story you're writing rather than the frustration of being unable to capture the ideas in your head. This way might wind up taking ages, but it makes the writing process such a joy.

Just once, I would like to be able to have a conversation about my feelings with someone where they don't, at some point, start trying to explain to me why something happened such that they are either implying or outright stating I should stop having noticeable feelings at them about a thing and/or telling me that I'm wrong about how I feel and actually if I just understood this thing I would see that I'm being unreasonable to say I feel the way I do.

Just once, for someone's response to be "it sounds like you're feeling [insert thing, e.g hurt, sad, scared, tired, angry, etc], I'm sad that you are dealing with that." Not to take responsibility for my feelings! But for them to acknowledge that they're happening and might matter to me before they move on to whatever the fuck next thing they have to say is

Note to self: word prayers better when doing divinatory sessions

I think I've mentioned this before, but I do yes/no stone pulls on Sundays to ask for guidance about maintaining my health re: my commute because it's 2-2.5 hours each way via public transit if everything runs on time. It's rough on me in multiple ways and can lead to even more migraines than usual or being too fatigued to work at all, and it can be difficult to tell whether I'll have the spoons to go in person.

This past Sunday I was exhausted & stressed because of, you know, the horrors, and said my initial prayer a little differently than I usually do. I still invoked Apollo and Hermes as always, as both of them cover divination by lots, Apollo's domain covers health & disease, and he's the one I turn to for divination by default.

Now, the vast majority of the guidance and lessons Apollo has given have had to do with recognizing my physical & mental limits, especially around this issue. The answers I was getting this time around were...odd but not quite in the way they have been with just dud pulls, so I started asking clarifying questions to figure out what was going on. After a few - establishing that there was a reason for the answers but it wasn't a test or punishment or Apollo messing with me (which would have been. odd) - I realized that while I'd invoked Hermes as a god of divination by lots alongside Apollo, I had not explicitly asked him to act as a messenger and aid in communication this time around, nor had I asked Apollo to guide the divination session with the wording I usually use.

I think you can see where I'm going with this.

I re-said the prayer (correctly this time) and confirmed that it was, in fact, Hermes at first while re-doing the initial set of questions (which were much more consistent in the usual way), as well as confirming that the issue was the prayer wording. Lesson learned lol

If anyone remembers all the dental work I needed done uhhhhhhh three years ago and never went back and ran away forever…I’m finally going back to a dentist on Thursday to restart the process and face my deep and utter abiding terror. And I also scheduled my COVID and flu vaccines for a couple hours later. And my psych appointment to restart meds.

I figured get it all done in one day, have my miserable immune reaction on Friday that I seem to always get with Moderna COVID shots, and then flee directly into the weekend and never be a person again except when I’m on and off crying. It’s going to be so kind to future me to get these things done and I can do it no matter how much I feel like I am constantly about to Actually Physically Die.
