Schlimm oder? Ebooks und man händigt dann nur noch QR codes aus wirkt in diesen Momenten auch immer ziemlich sexy. (Habe die Kisten gepackt, denke noch nicht dran, dass das auch noch zum/ins Auto muss aaah |DD)

I'm a self-published comicartist by choice, but whenever I pack up for a convention (Polaris this time yeaaah) I suddenly think "Publisher wouldn't be that bad" or at least someone to handle the logistics. WHY ARE COMIC BOOKS SO HEAVY. 😂

Strongest sign that my cats get older is that one of them, now whenever she is lying super relaxed in my arms - she also farts.

My secondary hot take is that you need to decide if you like making comics for money, attention, or for yourself - because all of those are wildly different metrics of success and two of them don’t require you to financially set fire to your life (for at least 10 years)

Liam McGuire @liammcguire.bsky.social · 6d

Anyone have a particularly hot comic take?

One of my biggest artist fears is getting accused of using AI, because the mistake I most commonly make is drawing to many or less fingers...
I will probably never learn |D (At least this time I catcht it bevor release)

The main goal was to figure out her mullet from behind, but I got sidetracked

Gideon from The Locked Tomb saga, simply standing, from a back view. She’s got one arm flexed behind her head, kind of. Her rapier and set of keys dangle from each side of her pants.

The reference used is from Trueref.

You can find everything Choose related on the lovely lizard tier (3€+) and soon even the final comicpages <3

Black and white sketched comic panel of pointy feet walking towards the camera. A cane makes the noises : "Tok, Tok, Tok" Edge of a robe and a pointed tail are wayving dramatic.

Finally I painted all my magnet demons for the Kaidan Con 2025.
Now it's time for the varnish and here is the first batch of little troublemakers :D

The image shows a white surface (likely a tray or board) with 18 small, artistically painted demon faces arranged evenly in a grid of 3 rows and 6 columns. Each face has a unique expression, various colors, shapes, and sometimes extra features like horns, teeth, or additional eyes.

Pro-Tipp:
Always have a backup stylus.

(Also never listen your own advice! )

Carolin Reich @Polaris @ensyis.bsky.social · 10d

Shout-Out to @dasmezzo.bsky.social who is not only responsible for the English translation of Vom Anfang but also took on the task of translating Choose. And I just love what they did with my dialogues. Some sound even meaner than the original. I am in awe. (And you'll might be soon too ;D)
