my comics advice is: show feet
it sounds like dumb online meme nonsense but it's not; every 2-3 pages make sure you draw your character so their feet show, it grounds them in the environment and forces you to vary your panel composition.

Watching my partner fight ORT in FGO and sacrifice some of his favorite Servants like his NP5 Voyager is lowkey stressing me out even though I know the lost Servants come back later 🗿

I sometimes take art client work outside of my usual mecha/anime stuff, and ngl the specter of "I have to prove that I'm worth paying over using an AI slop machine" is really demoralizing
At least one of my consistent clients asks for portraits that require a lot of original artistic interpretation

「パトレイバー劇場版シリーズ」「マクロスプラス」「MEMORIES」そして「人狼」などが続々と、一気に4Kソフト化されることを知り。ここに至って、僕にとっての重要な作品たちの高画質ソフト化というのはもう終わりつつあるな・・・と感じています。ある意味で僕が最後に熱中した作品たち。この世代への商売としてはいったん終着点を迎えたような感慨が。

Every facet of generative AI has made my professional life worse, without question, but THIS specific aspect has been driving me NUTS.
Clients, who have made me toil for weeks over indescribably small details, are now approving & producing in-house commercial artwork that looks like a fever dream.

I feel the clients now using GenAI to do stuff and going "good enough" when they used to nitpick at every last detail is due to them finding out all those nit picky changes take time and work they cant be bothered to put in.

Working on a 2-part video on artist alley advice, made a lil' flowchart on how I interact with customers!
I've seen a lot of conflicting advice on how much you should interact with customers- this is my happy medium that generally works well!

I can’t care about microplastics. No one ever tells you what to do about it. It’s just like “there’s even more microplastics inside you then you ever thought possible.” Okay I guess I’ll just die then. Stop bothering me.

Tbh I think most artists and creatives are mostly remembered for a few specific works they created in their lives... I wonder which work I'll be the most known for?
