Megatokyo webcomic 1572 panel 4 megatokyo.com/strip/1572 #megatokyo #webcomics #comics #manga

Time to let everyone know that i will be at the Metro Detroit Webcomicon 2024 in Ferndale, MI on August 3-4! Sarah's Scribbles, Perry Bible Fellowship, Pearls Before Swine, Cyanide and Happiness, lots of other Webcomic awesome. I'll be the old man there at the bottom :) webcomicon.net

Continuing with texture experiments. It’s so weird, I’m so not a color person that i tend to look at color as just a way to add texture more than anything… #procreate

Experimenting with different brush tools to find some different kinds of shading to try that works with my drawing styles in Procreate…

I hate ERs.

Omg, it's like you were there! Oh, hey Mookie, yep, those were good times. Boy, did we have people fooled :)

Conventions back in 2000s: “You have a webcomic? How cool! Of course you can be a vendor at our show! Actually, would you like to be a Guest? Our attendees would love to meet you!” Conventions now: “You make a webcomic? Fuck you. We won’t even let you pay us to exhibit here. Eat shit and die.”

The darkness of old forgotten sounds…

Pretty much every move I’ve ever made in comics since age 25 has been inspired by the 70-year-olds I saw in comic con Artist Alleys, cranking out sketches of characters they created but don’t own, to pay their doctor bills and nursing home fees.

And a nice example of early l33t sp34k too. I still have my cassette of this :)

#RS500 192 One of the biggest albums of my high school days, not just bc it made my Stuy Phys Ed shirt instantly cool. Haven't listened in years under the impression it didn't age well but cartoonish misogyny aside it kinda has. The swagger and chaos of classic Looney Tunes. Fave song: The New Style

My favorite line about war applies here: "The aggressor is always peace-loving... he would prefer to take over our country unopposed." No man, if you're trying a revolution against the Constitution of the United States, pro-Constitution Americans aren't going to simply get out of your way. Hard no.

Yume Nikki surfaced 20 year ago... there is a small part of my damaged soul that is deeply colored by this enigmatic little game and the shadows it left on our world. (a tweaked and fixed up post of my Pirokotsuki illustration from 2010) #yumenikki

The funniest thing I can tell people who know nothing about anime or manga is that is that my professional nickname "Piro" comes from a cat in a porn game.

Got the resolution cranked up to something better, now streaming some drawing from my Ipad using Procreate to draw up the next comic: twitch.tv/fredrin #procreate #drawing

Even when results are meh, the joy of finding that hyperfocus as I lean into creating something is a REAL FEEL these AI-grifting souless motherfuckers will NEVER understand. My work lost all its value years ago, but the zone of creating is something this old man still yearns for.

OMG the AI prompts Meta is adding to my last sketch LOL:

All Your Worlds Belong to Me But I Don’t Want Them

And it just occurred to me that I might need to tell everyone who might not know that my nickname "Piro" is a reference to this guy in #Kanon and predates me doing Megatokyo by several years:

Early on in Megatokyo, there is a strip where Ayu from #Kanon shows up referencing a fan comic where Makoto dropped Piro (the siamese cat) off the bridge but it didn't turn out so well for Piro because of the Taiyaki eating gurl... megatokyo.com/strip/67

1999 me is going "huh, what a long strange trip it has been..."
