Sorry for not a lot of posting lately: the holidays are a hard time for my mental health, and i… don’t feel like shitposting through seasonal depression, so i’m huddling under a blanket and drawing instead. I’d like to share what i can do, not what i can’t do

Since it seems we all have something to be irked about lately, here’s a fellow who can express that feeling for those of us who can’t or won’t

A sketchbook drawing of an older fat man with long dark hair and an eyepatch looking sourly off to his left with a tight-lipped scowl.

An updated look for a lovely bat thanks to some visual feedback! I've been busy trying to get this looking right... what do you think?

Two digital sketchbook drawings of a fat hairy bat femme with a soft round face, a thick ruff of fur that goes from his head to his neck and into his shirt and down his shoulders, and pince nez glasses. The drawing on the left, a bust drawing, shows him smiling and looking over his left shoulder: in this drawing, it seems like he's not wearing a top. The drawing on the right, a bust drawing in profile, shows him smiling and looking up at something: in this drawing, he has a spaghetti-strap bra on. Two digital sketchbook drawings of a fat hairy bat femme with a soft round face, a thick ruff of fur that goes from his head to his neck and into his shirt and down his shoulders, and pince nez glasses. in strappy low-cut evening dresses. The drawing on the left shows us him at a 3/4 back-revealing angle looking slightly forlorn (and in profile) at something in front of him. The drawing on the right shows him with a muted and resolute patience as he eyes something to his right.

A painting of a man standing up in a crowd, talking. Text says: Comics are actually really fucking time consuming and expensive to make and yet we keep being treated and paid like shit most of the time

"How do I find my art style?"
I've been a creative pro for 10 years, this is the number 1 question I get.

They want creative work to be recognizably theirs in an instant-- like Miyazaki or Wes Anderson movies.

This is the formula for art style, it's much simpler than you think.

won't have em for this weekend, but i've been getting a few more people at my table than I'd like lately asking *very pointedly* if i drew everything myself, so i designed a new sticker this afternoon that will hopefully quell some of those concerns.

#art
an illustrated sticker design in bright colours a "no parking anytime" sign, but half the letters have faded away to read "NO AI ANYTIME" and the no parking symbol has been spray painted to with a dripping red circle crossing out black dripping AI letters

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

PLS leave reviews and spread the word about graphic novels you enjoy 😭 it's so hard to even convince agents & editors to consider adult gns & bc of the idea they don't know how to market it
kotalinejones.bsky.social kotaline jones @kotalinejones.bsky.social · 5d
For graphic novels, especially adult genre fiction, it's incredibly helpful to review it online, talk about it, recommend it to a friend—adult fiction in the graphic novel space is difficult to place, and nothing convinces readers that they'll like a book more than the personal testimonial.

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!

Things have been rough for what seems like a lot of folks lately. So here, have a guy who's proud of you and believes in you

A sketch of a man. He has a heavy brow-line, droopy teardrop eyes, a large nose, a bushy mustache with curled ends, and thinned feathery hair on the back of his head. He’s smiling profusely, and you can tell because his cheeks are pressed up past his emoting mustache and his eyes are smiling as well. He's so joyous he's sparkling with it.

“Oh did I see you posting A.I? Instant unfollow Are you trying to argue with me about it? Instant block” There is a small cartoon portrait of myself, a round-faced Asian guy with round glasses and short hair, saying, “I’m just not that patient.”

Opened Twitter for the first time in a while just to dig up this tweet of theirs I adore
Tweet from Jesse Hamm (@Hamm_Tips) reading "Somewhere out there are people who need to hear a story you're uniquely able to tell. Art by others, even better art, won't do; only yours."
