Where are all the Gundam and Hip Hop fans on Bluesky at?

Ages ago I decided to combine my love of Hip Hop and Gundam together, calling it Hip Hop Gundam. Since 2014, my designs have been enjoyed by people all across the globe.

If you dig this, give it a repost 🔁

I wanna get one of those photo holders that K-pop stans get for their "biases" but I'm just gonna put pictures of my favorite Brazilian singers from the 70s

btw if you're so petrified of doing a bad job that you can't even start, then what you need isn't advice on how to make comics. you need to learn to embrace being messy and bad at things and being okay with that because it's necessary, and actually it's GOOD. being messy is WONDERFUL

Find a girl you can argue about SEGA with. About how "if they just did these 100 things" they could have beaten Nintendo & SONY. That's the key to a good relationship.
Howdy folks! I'll be in Traverse City for Cherry Capital Comic Con all weekend at table # 904!

Making unforgettable memories with experiences like these is what makes hanging out with fellow comic makers and artists at conventions so much fun and important part of building community.

Make More Friends! 😁
Make More Memories! 🎉✨
Make More Comics! 📚❤️
We're back home from Motor City Comic Con, highlight of our weekend was hanging with our friend @easterlyart.com and almost being dragged into karaoke at a Japanese restaurant

(yes I know I should have used "zu" instead of "su" don't @ me lol)
The vibe I bring to the function
That's the beauty of Hideo Kojima: You can post any picture of him completely devoid of context, and everyone's like "Yeah, this tracks."

I remember when people use to shame you into not watching anime. Those same people now no longer go to movies, & just scroll A.I. generated murder mysteries endlessly. Their lives are an unending Faustian Nightmare.
Something that helped me with just getting a hard reset on sleep are special gummies *wink wink*. But seriously, sometimes after a week or two of bad sleep, a gummy can really help. I take these ones meant for sleep that have more of the relaxing effects versus the stuff that will send you flying.
Anyone want to see me in San Diego this year? I have a badge but no booth, so I'm looking for options. Maybe a booth guest for a few different people and moving about from day to day.

I'm not setting up a commission list yet, but I'm curious what the interest is. Let me know!

Thank you! It used to not be my strongsuit since I was so used to digital painting but after doing more sequential stuff, I kinda had to force myself to get better at it, lol. I'm not where I'd like to be but I'm feeling more confident as an inker for sure.
Your inking technique is so 🔥

More stuff I haven't shared yet... here's a Ghostbusters themed commission I did last summer at an event for our local library!
I need to update this thing. Have a doodle I did a few years ago that I quite like of my fursona V. This was probably from around 2016 when I was still figuring out their design.

Yes, I have a fursona... we notice and we don't judge.

Modern bad anime sucks, but not in a way that's fun or cool to laugh at. With old anime you would get hilarious errors when they ran out of money, or the plots would be insane & make no sense. Now it's just like: I guess we're doin "guy stabs a goblin & levels up again" huh?
Good god I checked this out of the library SO MANY TIMES as a kid. Never got into Star Wars but I loved this.
Not even just school dances but literally any sort of kid-centered function period. I remember WAY too many birthday parties at the local skating rink that involved dancing to said songs.
