@skillfulstudio lol ye it really wasn’t as far as I can tell

I’m pretty sure she didn’t have some master plan it just happened to line up perfectly but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ in universe its one of the only logical answers that doesn’t make Dumbledore look like a fucking negligent idiot

Yeah I guess its like…you grow up with this idea that orphans or abused kids are a good fairy tale start to a story and good for angst fodder and you don’t realize how…fucked up that is?? Its weird to me that adults who should know better don’t think about it tho but yeah. It explains why harry is an abuse survivor but jk seems to just…forget this sometimes lmfao it also irks me that credence was literally the same thing except even more blatant because he was pm disposable (as far as we know atm)

2 and 4 for the artist ask meme?

( @endae )

Thank you for sending in numbers! :DD

2) Who is your favorite character to draw?Ford. I really enjoy drawing his sideburns and hair for some reason? They’re fun. So swoopy. 

4) How often do you draw?I go on drawing binges. I’m awful at blocking in time for art, so either I get a gigantic urge to set aside all my daily responsibilities to draw when I’m hit by sudden inspiration or I let my muse carry me whenever I have some free time. Basically, I deeply apologize if anyone follows me for my incredibly inconsistent art. 

5) Digital or traditional?Oh, definitely digital. I prefer digital because it allows me to easily fix any mistakes and achieve certain textures and shading looks I could never get with the few traditional art tools I have. The downside is that most things I know about art I’ve taught myself digitally, which... is kinda backwards from how most people do it. XD Probably a bit harder, too.

@skillfulstudio replied to your post:

I agree that it didn’t feel like an episode from the same series.  TBH the pacing did seem really off and it felt like a series of romance tropes.

That was an issue I had too! The pacing was all over the place and honestly I just kept waiting for the actual plot of the episode to kick in and then the episode just sort of ended. Also, I think that was the first time we’ve ever heard actual real world music in this series. That made the ending incredibly jarring on top of everything else.

@skillfulstudio replied to your post “You can fly?!” “No! Jump good!” has thus far been my favorite episode...”

That is the only episode I actually remember...

I remembered the one with the three archers on the tower really well! I think mainly because the contrasting colors for the art really got me. :D The more I watch the more I stop and go “Oh yeah I do remember that” but it’s mostly just single scenes or small bits of dialogue it’s mostly like watching for the first time which is really wonderful!

I think you're also "looks like a cinnamon roll and is actually a cinnamon roll"

Awww thank you! I pride myself on being a cinnamon roll (plus as much as I try, I am incapable of being anything other than a sugary pastry)

Had a great time at #c2e2 Got a picture with Nature boy, and saw a lot of cool #cosplay Always fun to say hi to some great local Chicagoland creators and friends (@artedeguerra @adamfarster @jimterryart @skillfulstudios @guerrillapublishing) and some new friends like @kapowschool (love the original art on the delicate origami paper) and @nguyeningit (cannot wait to see the final #plissken commission). Sorry if I missed you, I’ll post all the art and books I got (over the next days) and be sure to tag everyone! And I got to see #billydeewilliams (from a distance—LOL— Had a great time (got a bit overloaded towards the end), but walked away with an empty wallet— a lot of fantastic art and books that have found a good home. Looking forward to next year, and who knows maybe I’ll have a table with @atomic_number14 or be on an author panel. I had my fill, but if you want to see all the amazing artist, writers and ape rival, there is one more day of C2E2! Now I need to find some dinner and a beer!😊🍻 Cheers♥️😊 #amwriting #amreading #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #writers #jotham #write #writerscommunity #writing #author #authors #writingcommunity #amediting #bookstagram #books #thriller #debut #debutnovel # #cheers #zines #cosplay #comiccon #comics #indiecomics #chicago (at C2E2) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg8AcK1LrD1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@skillfulstudio EXACTLY omg its the worst

Everything inside you is screaming “do it! please them! please! them!!!“ even tho every other part of you is horrified at the notion lmfao

skillfulstudio replied to your post: Comic makers, how do you resist the temptation to...

Sheer terror that I will not finish the other pages or that something will change in the later ones that requires a change in the earlier ones ;^^. That’s about it…

Ahahah, sheer terror might actually help in this case. I’ve already had to go back and change a few bits of dialogue to adjust for future pages, so that’s a good point... 

I guess while I could post page by page, my worry is that this will lead to weird pauses in story flow...? And also- in a kind of selfish artist view- I’ve observed that people within this fandom in particular are more likely to reblog a longer comic than they are a single page. I’m not sure why this is? But overall I’d love to get a fairly nice audience for this lil’ comic thing, if I can. 

And I mean, I definitely would enjoy making this even if it only got a small audience... but it’d be nice for it to reach more people, y’know?

skillfulstudio replied to your post: How about in the fandom now, though? Not about...

There was also that thing where if you posted anything positive about Ford people assumed you hated Stan??? Like??? What??? can’t I empathize with both of them? Why can’t I see and understand both of their sides of the story and also like both of them? I was always so confused by that.

Wait wait wait how did you get them to stop  I still have anons who come into my ask box every time I post something about Ford asking me why I hate Stan? Tell me your secret!
