I'm also open for covers and professional work!

Thank you ✨

Whatever you Want logo in purple text on a white background, but the last few letters are decaying, fraying, turning black, and dripping A small child at a party, in a purple witch hat, with a creepy adult woman behind her. the woman's dress is turning into tendrils on the bottom, and her fingers are creepy, elongated, and claw-like Two women holding hands and touching foreheads, eyes closed, candles in the foreground, with wisps of candlelight arcing through the darkness around them

As someone who once received a comics page template in .xls format I hesitate to complain, but why make pdf templates that don’t have ps guides? This has happened twice in the last couple of months and like, I’ll do it myself but I also 100% will just eyeball it, which somewhat defeats the purpose

Here's some good news: who's coming with me and @ryehickman.bsky.social to GOBLIN TOWN!?!?!!!!
Chris Fernandez at Mad Cave has acquired Princess Nightmare, a YA fantasy graphic novel by Jadzia Axelrod (I.) (Hawkgirl: Once Upon a Galaxy) and Rye Hickman (Hey, Mary!), about a trans teen prophesied to become the Ruler of Darkness who runs away from home and falls in with a lovingly accepting goblin community that teaches her that what other people consider "dark" may not actually be something to run away from. Lauren Hitzhusen will edit: a publication date has not been set. Maeve MacLysaght at Aevitas Creative Management did the deal for world rights.
