The art advice i will always die on, is to never compare your art journey with others, and lower the perfectionism of "how it should look". Experiment, make "scuffed" backgrounds or character concepts, make uneven lines, keep it in a messy sketch phase, use references, play with shapes, etc.

Also finally got to sleep in my own bed for the first time in 3 months… nope, back to the floor for me, alternating heat and ice for this damn injury.

Remembered it was Hourly Comic Day yesterday, and I’ve got notes jotted down… only problem is I woke up yesterday with my shoulder pain flare up. I’m up this morning for the same reason. Back to heat/ice.

Honestly been considering how to incorporate more effective shortcuts to Husk when I am able to resume. Drawing does take the most time, tbh… maybe if I let myself leave my lines looser. 🤔 By the end of Issue 2 I had already reduced my palette, and I really liked it.
Posting this again to remind you you dont have to be an amazing artist to draw comics!

You too can avoid a lot of online drama by following the easy steps of the Kory System:
- huh
- what happened
- who’s doing what now
- oh god this sounds exhausting
- I’m so sorry I’m not trying to be oblivious I just have no idea what’s going on most of the time this all seems very stressful

This is so amazing and makes me wish I wasn’t so burned out so I could get back on the comic horse again.
Finally got around to supporting this!
Can't wait to check it out and hopefully switch to using it in the future :3

Works in progress and abandoned projects included. 🫶🏼
Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

With a good portion of insulation and flooring gone, and being unable to run the heater, we’re lucky to still have this trusty old tv- she keeps a room at a cozy temp. 🥲✌️

You may have heard of "Le Chat Noir" but what about "Le Chat Dumb"?
My cat Puck was inspiration for this. Based on the famous french painting by Rodolphe Solis.

i just keep getting bad news, and i haven't felt up to drawing anything with much effort for awhile now. I'm really sorry if you follow me to see art, and I've just been talking about video games and financial struggles. I will try my best to get a grip lol

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.
