So many variations on expressing crowds in your pages.
Love this.

Also on this, I collapse/flatten my layers constantly, but i tend to work in groups of layers and then move on to new sections.

It's a story about working with what you have, persevering, and friends. It's also in space. xD
Updates will be on @loopholelogs.art (and the site) once I've actually got the site set up and a buffer built - I have a large part of it scripted though. I'm terrible at posting my in-progress!

I also do most of my sketching on paper and my lines/colors in Procreate and then just...move things around.

My process is super convoluted but it's what's working for me.

Overall I like it? but I stopped using Adobe when they went Creative Cloud, so that's where most of my comparison is. I used my perpetual license (bought in...2011?) until some updates killed it.

Publisher - In Design
Photo - Photoshop
Designer - Illustrator

Then I pop it on a thumb drive onto my iPad - start drawing in my thumbnails on each page on the iPad so I can draw on it (my larger PC tablet/monitor is boxed right now while we're packing to move).

Comics wise, I'm working through my first chapter thumbnails right now, so I get all my pages up in Publisher, pop my text from Ellipsus over (on PC so I don't kill my hands), loosely arrange it by page.

I prefer the PC versions of it for ease on my eyes, but the iPad port is pretty good!
They've recently gone free for the base of it (Affinity Publisher/Photo/Designer) - and on the iPad you can swap between the tools in a project without having to reload.

I go back and forth between Procreate and the Affinity programs on my iPad.
Canva deciding to put the AI stuff as "optional, pay for it" put me more at ease for using Affinity's stuff (which I've used for years as my adobe alt).

I have been eyeballing this...might actually pick it up.

POST AN EMERGENCY CAT PIC

That one with the yellow is amazing!
Unknown Kadath and Cats of Ulthar are two of my favorites.

This is why I do all my sketches on paper and then scan them in. I loose my sense of scale when I'm working on the tablet (which I love, but it's so small). I was taught "draw from your back muscles" by my hs art teacher ages ago and I hate fingertip drawing.

Mine have tags that say "indoor cat" but good luck to anyone getting near them.

Their carrier tags (tags on the outside of their carriers) are more accurate with "Anxious & Loved" and "Angry & Loved: Don't Touch Me!".

Working on my thumbnails / page layouts and my cats have decided NOW IS THE TIME to fireball around through my office and the hall.

I found a copy of the old MB Columbo Detective Game for @vysetron.pixeldie.com a few years ago (who is also a huge Columbo fan so I'm always linking him your doodles). The fun part being that they got the rights to Columbo, but not Falk's likeness. So Columbo is always...facing away.

Nature's Miracle often works on various pee spots.

I had a very aged dog and have a *ton* of washable waterproof blankets by the end to protect things if that might help. They are not pee pads as much as just ways of protecting the sofa and all.

Got a present from my girl!

I’m a NYE fan, but I left my halloween lights up this year. I only had the energy to do lights once. So my porch is purple and orange.

The only good image #appleplayground is gonna generate for me doesn’t include opening the app! Amazing!

Not much for dollposting between work on the Loophole Logs and some major housekeeping.
Have Tweed getting a cornstarch patch instead.

Adventures in cooking, oh yes!

Damn thing is what runs my medical implant though, so I'm super grumpy.

I fortunately had a short delay on updating so was able to hop up to 26.2.

However my accessibility settings (eg, LESS TRANSPARENCY b/c I can't read that shit) had all been reset and the damn AI was on again, so there's been some serious grumbling as I fix it.
