Time for a new pinned post!
Hi! I'm Letty, a comics artist, game-maker and illustrator based in Scotland! I spend a lot of time thinking about oak galls and things that happen in caves.

A free game about a sandwich: toadlett.itch.io/the-king-in-...
view of deep sea bed, thick silt stretching into darkess. a trail of human footprints leads into the dark. coloured pencil drawing of a wiry, lanky knight holding a bundle f black fire in both hands. they wear chainmail and armour with big blunt spikes. illustration of a pictish byrehouse, with cutaway areas to show the construction of the frame, walls and thatched roof, as well as the interiors. many children and adults are shown working, relaxing and playing throughout, as well as domestic and wild animals. ink drawing of a knight whose helmet is shaped like a lion's head wearing a crown. they lean nonchalantly on a sword as tall as their shoulder. they are short, which is emphasized by the outsized helmet, and have a long tail like a heraldic lion.

HELLO I'm so delighted to finally officially share A TRUE GENTLEMAN, the graphic novel I’ve been working on for the last few years & is very close to my heart.

Inspired by a lot of real queer & trans history and my own disability, with big marsh, big ships & BIG YEARNING #books
Publishers' marketplace screenshot about A True Gentleman, "a queer historical romance fllowing a trans teen grappling with masculinity, diability and empire after his dreams of proving himself at sea take a turn - and his sweetheart's secret plans to see him again. to Caitlin O'Connell at Penguin Workshop, for publication 2028, by Jessica Mileo - Rights to S&S UK by Louise Lamont at LBA books."

just read this on the way home from work, my heart goes out to the creators involved in this. Honestly rings true to some things about my experience with doing art for Wanderhome, though I think I got off much more lightly than the Yazeba's crew.
lilliejharris.bsky.social Lillie J. Harris @lilliejharris.bsky.social · 11d
I haven't spoken about this publicly until now, but I and 4 other collaborators for Yazeba's have been in an incredibly exhausting and ethically dubious legal battle for over a year. I'm thankful that Rascal News has officially released our story.
rascal.news Rascal News @rascal.news · 11d
Five creators who worked on Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast have spent the past year fighting a legal battle against Possum Creek Games and Steve Jackson Games. Neither the tabletop RPG nor their working relationships survived the fallout.

I think I'm pretty good at creature design and drawing animals and plants, and I think my greyscale work is pretty good.
Also I'm proud of how I've been working on composition and comics layouts lately!

Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.

I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.

No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at

Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

the problem with spending all day listening to Realis while inking very detailed illustrations is it makes me want to drwa Realis, which requires very detailed inked illustrations

Hell of inking
Photo of an illustration partway through inkibg, with very tiny, densely detailed ferns, the artist's index finger next to them for scale.
