GOD I WISH I HAD TIME TO DO BIG ANIMATIONS, I'll have to settle for small sprite ones for now, but man!!!!! man!!!

you gotta read this thread about NSFW art/comics. kino talks about the spectrum of sexuality and how we as artists can show different facetshttps://twitter.com/kinomatika/status/888077161575440386 …

thanks amber for the new avatar that fits my mood

of course it helps to gush over characters or ideas with trusted friends- it leads to more good ideas! but you need to be your motivation

you need to do what gets YOU, PERSONALLY invested in your works. that's the aspect that keeps you going, you've gotta be your own #1 fan

if you're not excited about a scene you're writing, readers generally won't be either - you have to find a way to care about each page

like. if you're scared of doing anything too extreme, you'll come across as timid in your works! go for the big idea if it calls to you

something important to keep in mind while writing is that you can do literally whatever you want, and it's important to enjoy it during it

also don't be surprised if you sit down to write something in particular & your characters give you a big middle finger the moment you start

the drafts are the guidepost for either what to avoid or what to pursue, and it's up to you to examine and extract it as best you can

the drafts help you understand the natural direction your mind wants to explore, it helps you identify blossoming themes as they emerge

you get the sense "I've wasted time if i throw this out" which is of course not true - the drafts were never going to be the final work

I've done it enough times to go "ah, only 50 trashed pages of dialog for this chapter? cool" but it started out very difficult to do

stories & comics are so weird because you don't often figure out what the story is really about until you finish a bunch of drafts you trash

so there's a new NSFW charthur/neon comic starting up. i enjoy it very much and hope everyone else does too lolhttps://twitter.com/forbiddenflora/status/888010409164193792 …

drumming my fingers trying to think of a podcast i want to listen to right now

also if you go read like any longform comic ever, you're treated to an artistic journey, even if the artist was very good when they started
