Putting together my Portfolio day post samples and I just realized in my short time in comics I've worked on the lineart of an all-star list of artists like Aaron, Thomas, Adam, Tracy, Mauro, Evan and Jack et al. All of whom are major influences and rad artists. Damn I'm lucky.

"Dr. Chumley, my mother used to say to me, "In this world, Elwood" -she always called me Elwood-she'd say, In this world, Elwood, you must be oh, so smart or oh, so pleasant.'' For years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me."

Trying my best to stay positive this month but hoo boy is it tricky. This has been a rollercoaster of a year and I'm still waiting for the bit where it goes back UP. Mostly all the scary fast down stuff at the minute. When do we get that nice pause with the great view and a minute to breathe?
When I leave this earth,
I will not regret giving kindness unearned.
I will not grieve offering generosity abused.
No, I will not lament helping those who sought only to use me,
but rather only my hesitating to help others because of it.
Let them carry the burden of that guilt.
I accept none.
Always worth reposting these 2000AD art guidelines from time to time. Anyone wanting to work as a comic book artist, for any publisher, needs to take all of these onboard...
"'But Publishing Is A Business, Monica.' I've heard this many times from many quarters. Yes! I agree! But it’s a business built on the unpaid and underpaid labor of the very workers who generate its product."
Yes! Just because it's a "dream job" doesn't mean it's not a job that deserves fair pay!
Me realizing I can just not draw the things I'm having trouble with by changing the composition/pose or putting stuff in front of a tricky bit to make it something I find easier to draw.
Plan a horrorfest using only your first name:
- Robot Monster
- It came from outer space
- Killer Klowns from outer space
I don't really do horror films so thankfully mine's gonna be a short triple feature, see if you can spot a theme
As someone who exclusively mains Rogue builds I can only take this as a sign I should main Rogues and have a Ranger Bard as a cover story.
