I've been getting back into comics while I wait for more info from my concept job, and I thought I'd make a post about something very important to me, which is COMIC PANEL VARIATION and HOW TO THINK ABOUT IT.

Also, yes, before you ask, these rules can absolutely be broken. I strategically break them to create a noticeable shift or flow in the storytelling, like so:

morpho books

figure drawing for all it's worth (+ creative illustration)

framed ink

will eisner comics and sequential art

will eisner graphic storytelling and visual narrative

understanding comics (+ making comics)

folder of various animation production art

burne hogarth drawing dynamic hands

perspective for comic book artists

michael mattesi force drawing

the animator's survival kit

10 YEARS of Undertale. I'm taking a look back at what it has inspired me to make over the years. (Ordered newest to oldest.) I was 15 years old when it came out. My friend gave me the game on a flash drive to play, and it became one of my most intense hyperfixations. It was also the first RPG I ever played. It stole my heart in the best ways.

It carried me through so many experiments creatively, from my first (and one of my only) animations, a clay sculpture, paintings, my very first digital art pieces, my first comics, early cosplays, and even some of my first art prints that I've sold to other fans. I read fan comics, drew fan art of AUs, made my own AUs and fanfics. I attended the Undertale Symphony TWICE, once with my best friend to let her experience it.

Yes!!! Sorry for the long wait. I got super caught up with many things.

HERE ARE THE LONG AWAITED TUTORIALS!!!

If you want to see my general info (and also which tags to look at my other art, click here)

FAMILIAR FAMILIAR is a self indulgent TOTK AU where Link and Zelda traverse the wild lands of Hyrule together. There are ruins to be discovered and monsters to be eaten.

This project is a linktober challenge that will extend past the month of october. Please be patient with me as this is entirely being funded by a hyperfixation and the support of beloved patreon backers (ty patreon backers). Pls note fanart, fanfics, and spinoffs are perfectly fine as long as credit is due!

Hey artists, C. Spike Trotman, founder of Iron Circus Comics, just posted an invaluable thread on depicting different types of black hair. I’d do the thing where you screencap the whole thread and post it but it’s just too long (which is great because it’s a whole lot of useful information!) Give her a follow while you’re there.
