Anonymous asked: Hello, it's me again whom asked about people of color, I'm sorry if my question offended you, that never was my intention. The reason why I asked was not to imply that black characters have to be handled differently than white characters, My main concern was rendering ethnic hair, Like I have studied my afro in the mirror for forever and yet still I have difficulty trying to render that...

well there is a difference in the way light scatters in skin tones, but yeah, observation helps with that. Observe everything!!
Oh for sure. There are definitely things to learn and apply when rendering different hair textures and skintones, but people still need to understand what they’re drawing first and foremost, and...

digitalsocrates asked: While certainly people overblow the physical differences between ethnicities to say that /none/ exist is a bit simplistic. There are certain features that are more common among certain ethnicities than among others, to various degrees. If you took 100 pictures of ethnically black people and ethnically white people and could somehow remove only the differences in skin color, you could still pretty...

Anonymous asked: Hello, I don't know if I've sent this to you are not, but I was wondering, how do you as an artist draw people of color as well as their hair? I know this might sound like trollin, but I' actually curious, because out of all the stylized people of color I have seen, yours are always well drawn and not very stereotypy. Anyway you art is really amazing and I would like to thank you...

SPX plans changed
After recent events and falling behind on work, I’ve decided I really can’t afford to go to SPX and I was pushing too hard to make it happen. It’s not a big deal, I just think I need to get a lot of stuff in order. I’ve had too many notable set-backs, and I’d like to be better prepared. I wanna get my comic updating again, I wanna get ahead on Slipshine, make real...
The only stories I’m leaving out are the 1st part to a story that’s still waiting on a second part (#9 - Sweets) and the Love Me Nice related one, because it feels weird and out of place with the rest of the one-shots without context.
evelynthunderstorm answered your question:I’m putting Slipshine books together, and I want…
If the stories were published thematically, would that mean the one-shot stories would all be published together?
Potentially! I have 2 other multi-part stories, but each is only 2 parts and am not sure if they’d go with one-shots or get their own little book. Still thinking about it.
EDIT:...
I’m putting Slipshine books together, and I want opinions. They’ll be put together into multiple 50-page books with titles (I don’t want ‘titty-time’ to be the largest text on the book so each volume has it’s own name). So I’m curious would people rather have them:
Grouped chronologically
Grouped thematically
If grouped thematically, all the dragon-lady...

Oh gawd :( I just wanted to say well done for pressing charges, it must’ve been hard as hell to do, but it’s so the right thing. Did you know these bastards somehow or were they strangers? Don’t answer if you don’t want to, obviously.
No they were strangers, other patrons at a small local restaurant me and...
venting: bad bad feelings[[MORE]]
I have been thinking really dumb things all day. Like, I have a pixie-cut fauxhawk and I’ve been growing out the top part super long to do stuff with it like curl or crimp it… but I keep running my hands through my hair and realizing how easy it was to grab my hair. That’s where I got grabbed and held still to get punched. It’s like a...

Personal-life update for Tumblr bros. Not fun reading.[[MORE]]
Just kind of cutting to the point cuz I realize not everyone reads my Twitter. Last night I was physically assaulted and my head injured (hair was grabbed and hit into my car and then head was punched repeatedly by two people), today filed charges. Class a misdemeanor, people are being arrested. Police are pretty eager about arresting...

Just some updates
Commissions will all be finished up by Sunday or Monday. They got seriously delayed because I decided to make it a goal to draw/update Love Me Nice twice a week, and this week I realized how much work I can actually handle. After the round that’s already paid me is done, I can’t take anymore for awhile, not until I have a LMN buffer.
Slipshine update will be about 2 days late (today...

Anonymous asked: Hi, there! I didn't know you were the one in charge of Titty Time. I loved that comic so very much! (Especially the yuri chapters). Is there a chance you're going to bring back the black chubby girl and her GF sometime in the future? The pampered princess with the badass dragon lady make a cute couple as well. Thanks in advance and cheers! Your work rocks! :D
Sewing patterns as fashion reference
Was tweeting stuff I realized would be interesting to post here too:
Also art tip I mentioned in my last live stream: If you wanna find clothes from a specific year/time period, look up sewing patterns.
Like so: http://vintagepatterns.wikia.com/wiki/Category:1982
Helpful when drawing fashions from a specific year that isn’t covered a lot in reference or historical books because...
