I’m opening up commissions. This is the first time I’ve made a chart like this. I am not limited to just things on this chart, if you’d like something different, just ask!
I still haven’t found a job and I’m getting really nervous about money again, so please if you like some of my art share this around and maybe I can make a few dollars.
Thanks so much<3
Nine More Webcomics Recs (Happy Holidays!)
Ava’s Demon - In a distant future, young Ava flees her alien-desolated planet but can’t shake the cruel demon who preys on her mind and body.
Cucumber Quest - Cucumber would rather go to magic school and leave the hero-ing up to his younger sister, but with the Nightmare Knight threatening his kingdom, he might have to take a gap year.
The Fox Sister - In 1968 Korea, a young woman hunts for the kumiho that stalks the streets for victims, wearing the form of her dead sister.
Knights-Errant - Wilfred the Heartless joins the famed mercenary company, the Errant Knights, and has to take care not to get killed by enemies, racists, or his own brutal captain, Oswald.
The Less-Than-Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal - After coming out to his family and getting promptly disowned, Amal meets TJ, with whom he made a drunken deal: to split the cost of driving cross-country to attend Amal’s sister’s graduation.
Nimona - When professional villain Ballister Blackheart gets a new sidekick, he gets more than he bargained for: Nimona, a shapeshifter with pink hair and a habit of taking evil a little too far for even Blackheart’s taste.
Oglaf! - Various comics set in fantasy worlds, usually erotic and always hilarious. WARNING: Many comics are NSFW, but the archive offers plenty of help on which are suitable to view in public.
Plume - Armed with an immortal bodyguard and a gun, Vesper Grey ventures into the wild west to avenge her father’s murder.
Todd Allison and the Petunia Violet - Petunia tries to be a good neighbor and gets swept up with a government conspiracy, a hitman, a serial bomber, and numerous mysterious and equally ill-mannered people for her troubles.
This is entirely my friend’s fault, who in the course of one of our endless hobbit natterings said “can you imagine if Bilbo woke up early one morning and caught them braiding each other’s hair?”
(and I know they just leave their braids in all the time but it was really funny ok just let me have this)
Hey kids! If you’re a filmmaker, animator, or storyboard artist and you don’t know what screen direction is, you might want to read this.
For the record, there are always exceptions to the rule in filmmaking, which is why I pointed out 3 examples here.
I’ve also found that comic books tend to NOT take screen direction as seriously as film does, but I’m still on the fence if this is wise or not. My favorite comics pay close attention to screen direction so as to not confuse the reader.
Good luck!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! YES

WELL EXCUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSE ME PRINCESS.
Because it basically created me.
“Comics is a secret language all its own,” said Scott McCloud in Making Comics, the book that triggered my passion for the creation and appreciation of all visual media, “and mastering it poses challenges unlike any faced by prose writers, illustrators or any other creative professionals.” The virtues and defects of comics are entirely separate from any other medium – literature, poetry, stage, and even supposedly similar media like film and animation.
Before I stumbled across this book, I was the average consumer of media, subconsciously absorbing messages from everything and never consciously recognizing why they reached me so effectively, whether their efficiency was for better or for worse.
Where other “how-to” books on the subject of comics only skim the medium’s potential, Making Comics by Scott McCloud invites the audience to ponder the very nature of communication. Rather than stiffly instructing, it helps to shape creators’ perspectives on what, how, and why they want to communicate.
Making Comics was the catalyst that set most of my present being in motion. It taught me to inspect, to question, and to argue with myself and those around me. This newfound awareness not only tripled my interest in the arts, it also opened my eyes to other issues that are now hugely significant in my life.
To paraphrase my older sister’s rare but immensely touching expressions of pride in my personal growth, I have become increasingly conscious of how what I say and do affects other people. I have this book to thank for the passion I have discovered for Judaism and social justice. These issues further motivate me as an artist. I hope to more fairly represent marginalized groups in stories that might normally exclude them. I hope to achieve higher understanding, be it of something as contested as biblical texts, something as vast as the world at large, or something as small as myself.
I’m rambling but……
I have this book to thank for so much. And you should really read it.
Sorry tumblrs, I didn’t know you couldn’t reblog questions, and also it’s probably mean of me, exposing that girl’s question like that. So here’s the whole blog post in reblogging format.
Long story short, someone (politely) inquired if I would do character design for…
The mini I’ve been working on for a couple weeks now….this started as a word ladder, and the last bit was a total, last minute ending. Because it was fun.
