I'm apricot! I make the fantasy webcomic Kattabolt, about spunky cat girl Alex ⚡🐱

I post about Pokemon, my pets, & my OCs. If you like middle-aged men with issues who fall in love: hello, ask me about my #OC ship called Kibble. I have no self control.

Made this neon goth Valentine's set on Saturday and I couldn't wait to get them on. I think I need to do an entire set with iridescent flakes like the pinky nail. First time wearing rhinestones and I can't stop fidgeting with them. We'll see how long they last before I accidentally pick them off. 😅💚

Not just the words. The art. Look at the art. The art is informing you of what is happening. You don't get to say things came out of nowhere when there are objects in the background foreshadowing things for 5 chapters.
Webtoon readers, hear me when I say this and know it comes from a place of love and concern:
sometimes you must slow down and actually read the words written in the speech bubbles. You are going too fast. You are not comprehending the words in the order they are written. You are guessing.

Heads up if you subscribe to Wired, I just went through a whole rigmarole where they auto renewed my subscription for $80 when my receipt and their website says an annual subscription costs $30, and then gave me the runaround to convince me that the subscription is actually $80.

Thank you all for the kind responses yesterday! 🥰 I had therapy but then we went out for dinner and afterwards watched some Fantasy High (we're like halfway through season 3) and listened to the new episode of Push the Roll. It was a nice day!
Happy February 4th, today is my 15th anniversary with @ketpia.bsky.social ! 🤠🎨🤡🎉

Always read contracts you're sent to sign, even if you're told it's "boilerplate".
Understand what you're agreeing to and don't be afraid to ask questions or request adjustments.
When you're starting out you may not have much room to negotiate, but at least you can go into it with your eyes open.

LMAO AI ain’t shit because if I, a person with no game dev experience, made a working game that works across all devices you don’t need a little program to hallucinate the idea of a game for you.
TRULY a skill issue if you rely on AI at this point

I used slablets for uhhhhhhh I'm gonna say a LONG WHILE, but I haven't moved back since making the jump to screen tablets, since that's what I originally envisioned when I first understood what tablets were, and I like having a monitor I can draw on
artists, out of curiousity: do you prefer a screen tablet, or a slablet?

I'm thinking of looking at the scholastic book club model - a catalogue you pick titles from.
Something that changes per quarter or season.

I'm looking at making an indie distribution company for indie books and idk if a model for that exists already, but if anyone has information on how indie book stores order (before I contact a bunch) that would be cool.
I'm specifically looking at Naarm/Melbourne but all info is good info

Maybe someday I'll make more functional starter packs, but for now I've still just got this little non-exhaustive list I use to keep track of folks I've known for a long time across multiple platforms. They are all cool beans

Okay real talk, I've been putting off making introductory Grease Pencil tutorials for fucking years. 2D artists who want to/have tried to learn blender, start yelling at me in the comments of this thread with your questions. I'm gonna start working on this tomorrow.
