We loved seeing everyone's fall festivities last week (the way that it overlapped with some of your #kidlitpostcards was great! 👌).

And if you missed last week, it's never too late participate in #ABLArtFest! You can even combine prompts if you're feeling inspired. Just have fun! 🍂🔮

Thanks!!! This was so much fun to draw! I wish pimple patches were more of a thing when i was younger 😭 (or maybe i just didn’t know about them)

A short comic inspired by seeing kids having fun with pimple patches! It had been a while since I did anything in my sketchbook or in finished inks so this was very refreshing to do.

ARTISTS! if you have an old drawing tablet that doesn't have any drivers available anymore or is just unsupported now, i HIGHLY recommend checking out opentabletdriver.net

my old wacom bamboo is now unsupported and you can't even get old drivers anymore, works perfectly (even in windows 11).

My fellow comic writers and novel authors, what percentage of your work time do you spend writing/editing, and what percentage is hustling new work and promoting existing work? Let’s call this the creating:marketing ratio. I think mine might be off.

#fe3h #bluelionsbigbang

Annette in the dancer costume works on her sword posture with help from Felix in his academy uniform. Sylvain stands to the side with a pointer stick beneath Felix's chin, annoying the latter. Annette is focused, Levin sword raised in the air, aided by Felix. The trio stands in front of a green chalkboard with a faded lion shiloutte (as if the lion has been erased). Text on the chalkboard reads: Blue Lions Big Bang, Interest check August 1st to 22nd.)
