i feel you, still kind of chugging along and working on the next thing, but with no idea of how or where i'll be able to publish it when it's done :')

fun fact #2: these characters are from a comic idea i've had since uuuuhhh 2016? that i've still never gotten around to drawing :')

fun fact: this was the last page (or spread, since the whole zine is meant to be viewed as spreads) i drew after i already thought i was finished, because the print version would've ended up with empty pages otherwise. ended up being my favourite!

...might have to add that warning for this next one

dreadelion @dreadelion.bsky.social · Jul 29

i considered adding a jokey content warning about blasphemy on the book of elemental humors, since it included some religious imagery, but eventually decided not to, since it was just vibes mostly

am now on the seventh illustration of the next zine that's got a nun or a monk fucking

Dont stop contacting Visa/MC, but Itch needs Stripe specifically pressured right now.

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones

Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign

But we can EASILY top 1,000!

I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send!

We CAN make a difference 💕

If you want to actually solve the problem, instead of punishing itch, start calling payment cos

Collective Shout, which is run by people who get published by Spinifex, a very terf-seeming organization, apparently needed 1,000 people to yell at visa to get this done.

We got more than 1000 people.

The fact we've been able to trust them to do the right thing for so long doesn't make this an indictment of Itch, but instead a sign of how absolutely dire the situation is.

ari velazquez 🌯 @arivelazquez.com · Jul 24

use your fucking brains. you praise and love itch for years and years and the moment their hand is forced by a well-known morally evil third-party, you instantly turn on itch instead of target the real enemy. you stupid fickle dipshits are just desperate for something to lash out against

not officially, in the sense of an online store or anything, but i will be at some local conventions in the future here in Finland, where i can deal you one! i can also mail them, but postage is likely to be very high outside of europe :')

i also spent like 7h nonstop re-formatting my old zines for print, turns out when you don’t plan for print from the get go, your zines may not work for print without significant edits! shocking

but now i have five whole zines ready to print when it’s not 1:46AM

dreadelion @dreadelion.bsky.social · Jul 17

printed the first tests of elemental humors today on our new printer… turned out crusty as hell and needs trimming on the edges, but i drew this with a paper copy in mind first and foremost, so it’s v exciting to finally see it realized 8)

made a much better thumbnail for the new zine...

who would've thought that taking a break from the two-week fever dream of drawing, and only then creating promo images would allow you to look at your work with fresh eyes lmao

anyway get it here dreadelion.itch.io/elemental-hu...

so goddamn many times - but honestly there's only so many pose and angle combinations that work and look good so it's bound to happen.... (also some poses just look best at a particular angle, why reinvent the wheel when the sexiest wheel already exists)
