Hi comics Mastodon
I need some general input because I’m clueless: what is the best resolution and size to work my pages on?
#art #mastoart #comics

I want to like Pillowfort but I find the traffic pretty minimal (even less so than Tumblr) and it’s already starting to feel extremely clique-y. Pretty good chance I won’t be updating it much more and primarily keep to Twitter and Mastodon.

First peek at concept art for Chapter 1 of Wander!

My upcoming webcomic follows titular character Wander, a tiny magic robot that awakens in an unknown place. He sets out on a journey to recover his lost memories, discover what happened to his friend Algernon, and uncovering the mysteries surrounding this new world.

I’m glad to be relaxing and taking my time to enjoy myself, and I’m really eager to share more down the road. :)

Artists on the internet are kind of always expected to pump out a ton of content, and I greatly dislike how much quantity wins over quality, and I plan on taking my time for the stuff that I’m sharing and making from the heart with no real stakes.

I feel like being a bit more honest on my Mastodon about the state of things, so:

Things are good, and art is slow while I adjust on a personal level. I started a new position at work, I’m working on drafting pages for Wander, taking some time to catch up on some games. I need to learn to do art without social media validation so I want to take some time to build some stuff up.

Really excited to share some stuff down the road, but I’m taking it easy right now.

I really love this piece. It set a lightbulb off in my head of the idea that the idea of a Best Friend isn’t realistic - every person reflects certain aspects you look for, but not one person is going to meet every need.

It’s also fine to cut friends that you know aren’t willing to share the love you need - they don’t need to like everything you do, but they should celebrate and love your successes. We don’t have time to expect anything less than that.

Friendships are really hard for me. They always have been - I’ve never been the most social person, and I’ve always wavered between isolation and a need to belong.

Moving away from my hometown made me evaluate a lot of my friendships as most of them crumbled from distance. Since a lot of big life changes, I have had to reconsider what I need in my bare minimum of friend expectations.

Starting soon, I’m now an Associate Technical Artist! I am so happy because I’ve been working towards this for years.
