Okay! Here is my first post for Throwback Thursday. This piece dates all the way back to 2009 -- I made it for one of the first conventions I sold at. At this point, you can really tell I was inspired by TVsKyle, but my style changes later on. This was all done digitally; pretty sure it was done in SAI and finished in photoshop. I like the idea I was going with here -- using the mic's cord to separate pieces is neat. I don't know why I thought it needed to be so yellow.



✨MY STORE IS NOW OPEN✨

You can find it here!

I opened my shop this morning! You'll find stickers, buttons and a few charms! I hope you'll consider looking and buying a lil' something for yourself or a friend! :)

IF YOU ARE INTERNATIONAL AND PURCHASE I may have to message you and work with you about shipping. I had NO IDEA how much shipping really was until I visited the post office the other day. If I have an issue, I will email you so we can find a solution. Sorry! I can't afford to send out a $3 sticker for $15. :( I lose money that way.



I'm looking for a place to post art work, like DA/FA/Weasyl/Ect. where I can reconnect to fans of my works that are built for the gallery first. I still have my FA account (actually, I have DA too, but because of AI garbage, I may just never post there again: which is really sad, because I like that the original page was open in 2005).

I have a tumblr, and I have a cohost, but these are not traditionally "gallery sites". Since I do heavily rely on cartoon animal art, I think a furry gallery might be best (even though I find myself expanding more and more). The only other site I can think of is Pixiv but that's more for Japanese artists.

The ideal gallery is 1. Open for everyone, and not just artist based 2. Makes commissions available for audience 3. Not App Based



Been reading through the Drawing Scenery book my partner gave me for Christmas. The book does help with scenery but it also has like... forty pages worth of just leaning how to create a successful composition for the scenery, which is great. Now I wonder if anyone has a book on creating successful comic pages that work as a cohesive page spread compared to what you'd do to make a story flow from page to page.

Each page count I think would mean something. With one page you have to think about how to make the information and drawings flow so that the audience eyes follows. Then if you think about a two page spread, you can get real creative with that maybe? Like when an view opens a book and looks through a page, where does their eyes go first...?

But then web comics can also be interesting. A one page spread on a browser can contain its own information. Then, you get long updates/[ages that flow vertically, that are suppose to be more phone friendly. I wonder if those vertical pages aren't interesting when they break them up into a horizontal book.
