Testing something
Let's see if Matt understand PNG
Let's publish!
I'm working on a comic/manga called Touch Starved World (hyphen omitted for style reasons). If anyone has advice on how to publish an indie comic, I'll take it. Including which publishers to talk to, etc. I don't even know if the whole thing will be in color or black and white or screentoned. It's too early to tell. I tried to remember American mangaka who have published indie comics in this country and I couldn't. My brain not good now. I'm sure there are multiple publishers I could talk to. I dunno. I'm in the dark here, all I know is how to draw, and even that is debatable.
Commissions Soft-Opening
Hello, all! If you're reading this, then you should know that you're the first to find out that I'm opening myself for commissions. A few months ago I wrote up a 7-year-plan for what I'm doing with my life, and as it turns out, the plan involves me becoming both a self-employed, professional artist but also a published author. In the beginning, I expect to make a good chunk of my money from commissions, but I'm also working on multiple comics at the moment, one of them being an ongoing webcomic. I have three more novels planned (I've already written one, which might be unpublishable for Scientology reasons), and those will get knocked out one by one over the next decade. A friend of mine built me a new computer which has 4x the RAM that my old computer had, which is absolutely crucial for coloring big files in Photoshop. I also still owe him around $250 for it, so that's my first short term goal with commissions. So, let's talk. COMMISSIONS SOFT OPENING: What this basically means is
The Second Coming is Nigh
If it wasn't already clear, as of very late 2021, I'm coming back to the art world. I survived 9 years of depression, mental illness, occasional drug use and alcoholism. I decided that I'm tired of doing jobs I don't care about that don't utilize my skills, for pittances, and I'm going to try to make my money doing art. It's weird having goals at all, but long-term goals in particular are so foreign to me. Here's mine: I'd like to be relying completely on art and writing in 3-5 years. In 3-6 months' time (i.e., by June 1st, 2022), I will start a Patreon. Once the Patreon is live, only a small fraction of my art will make it onto Deviantart. The rest will be available only for those super-niche fans willing to pay a small fee per month to see my life's work. So until that happens, please enjoy whatever I post here, and if it turns out you consistently enjoy my artistic struggle, consider paying a small price (the first tier will be $1 per month) to support my efforts. ($1 a month! Come
