I KNEW IT
It occurred to me...
… in that last reblog, those were two different cats in two different bee costumes…
… how many cat sized bee costumes are there and how many cats have been forced to wear them…
… the possibilities are endless, truly this is a beautiful world
I am pretty grouchy that I’m going to bed after a day that was spent counteracting physical pain and discomfort more than it was spent drawing comics… just you wait till I wake up, comics. I’m gonna get you. I’m gonna get you good.
You can’t hide behind my feeble human body. I am a machine that makes stickers and porn.
How to repair printed acrylic charms
I know from experience that one of the problems with those flat printed acrylic charms, like the ones I ordered, is that they can crack or snap if too much pressure is applied to them. I remember browsing forums and people junking their broken ones because superglue wouldn’t fix them, and that bummed me out because a good fix is easy.
If the charm/keychain is cracked, or if it is snapped...

Exhausted and need to rest up so I can churn out some slipshine and smut peddler pages… but first I’m gonna make these stickers. Because… stickers.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the worst kind of critique is from the person who lacks even the smallest investment in your success or failure. If people don’t want to help you, their critique will not end up being helpful.

Where do you obtain this “sticker paper”? :3
Office Depot, though I’ve seen similar products at other office and craft stores. There are numerous makes, and not all of them glossy. There’s even clear sticker paper and vinyl sticker paper — shop around, there’s tons of stuff.
sugabelly replied to your photoset: Just photos of the final round of sticker tests….
How are you making the stickers?
The big ones are made by printing high resolution images at optimized settings onto printable glossy sticker paper, then laminating and trimming them by hand. The small sticker sheets are made on the same glossy sticker paper, but are not laminated — instead I apply...
My grandmother straight up stole accepted that baby fairy sculpture as a present before I could ever finish it… grandma why

Man, I’ve always wanted to do this! Like, use it as my own model sheet or something for reference.. and to have cool figures that are my own creation. Just don’t know where or how to start.
Just start trying! I use polymer clay, which you can cure in an oven and is very durable and sandable once cured. Just...

Customize dolls to look like your characters! You can take them to conventions and everyone would suddenly think they’re cool.
I’m channeling that hobby of mine into making resin figurines, though I’ve been a bit too busy to finish them just yet:
That’s one of my goals before 2012 Fall...

My mom makes porcelin dolls. She has her own kiln. She sculpts them out of clay and makes plaster molds.
My great-aunt did that before she got busy teaching ceramic classes! It was amazing to watch her work, it’s a delicate process, I admire your mom for that kind of work.
Stickers and sticker sheet will be available soon.
I can confidently say after a lot of tests and effin’ around I have competently made some quality-lookin’ durable stickers and sticker sheets. This has been a fun DIY project.
The large stickers are very durable and as waterproof as whatever they’re stuck to — though I wouldn’t submerge them. The gloss paper I stuck one to disintegrated in water before the sticker...

I have exposed you to the vulnerable underbelly that is my silly doll hobby
Retreating back into my hermit hole
Drawing comics and making charms/stickers
never coming back out
I really like customizing dolls, but I haven’t done it in almost 3 years and at the end of the day it’s something you do when you have money and freetime. Which I don’t have anymore, but that’s okay because when it comes to my priorities, I like comics way more than I like dolls and I’d rather pour my money into comics. But if in the future I had time to revisit the...
creepy doll photos in the next post, heads up,...

FFFFF oh yeah underage bondage photostories I had almost forgotten (somehow) about that one. (did you ever see the one with the girl asking if her doll babysitter should have experience or not) I have no idea how my local group isn’t 100% crazies
Yes that was MAGICAL.
To this day my favorite threads are from...

what on earth is a BJD?!
It is a ball-jointed doll, an asian hobby. They are articulated dolls made of resin, customizable and tend to be 2-3 feet tall. They are often called Dollfies, which is actually a make by a specific Japanese company called Volks but people tend to use it as a blanket term (even though a...

Because Kurtz probably doesn’t have creepy interests himself, I bet the sun shines right outta his dick. Don’t let it get to you Amanda.
He’s not really the one that embarrassed me, it’s that people pushing their dolls around in strollers and introducing them as their “children” are the...

meanwhile on DoA the “imagination??? or PSYCHOSIS??” thread has been going strong for two years
THAT FUCKING THREAD and the one about whether dolls have souls or not are kind of what reduced DoA to just a marketplace for me. Oh and the debates over whether or not underage bondage photostories should be allowed...
in a webcomics weekly podcast where kurtz was talking about people with BJDs creeping him the fuck out at anime conventions, i was so self-conscious all of a sudden that I turned beet red and couldn’t listen to the rest of the podcast
i am so embarrassed of my interests
especially when i know there are people out there ruining it for the rest of us
making sexual photo-stories and putting...

oh for a second I thought you were talking about BJDs and my ears perked, but I like sims too, need to boot up sims 2 for fun again soon.
i’m really glad i can’t afford BJDs because if i could it would be a Real Problem

ive lost a few followers in my day son
I don’t even pay attention. Except when one particular artist I admired followed me and then unfollowed me… I was so sad.
WAS IT THE PORN or was it my depressed funk… what scared you away… my darling…
