For every day of October, I’m drawing and inking a panel of comics. Here’s page 1!

I love doing covers.

A sentient legume fights a large humanoid turtle.

A large towering king looks upon a young girl twirling a yo-yo, with flames in the background.

Various foods and comic art pages on a stove, while a pot roast type dish is being removed from the oven.

A wrestler, in mid air, has leaped down to pounce on a wrestler who has a Covid dna molecule for a head.

At the risk of taking on more work, anyone know of anthologies that are currently taking submissions?

Just remembered another project that I wrote and still really want to draw. There’s just too much to do

Maybe the views on my art would go up if I just started drawing smut

What’s everyone’s thoughts on a tpb where the art style significantly changes from the first issue to the last?

Basically, I drew the first two issues traditionally and the last four digitally. Do I need to re-draw the first two before publishing the trade?

This series is so good! Go give it a follow!

It’s just an adventure and a setting. I was planning on DMs Guild, but if they’re exclusive, that turns me off of them.

I’m planning to do it as a part of ZineQuest on Kickstarter next year. Any ideas/tips on where to promote the thing?

Kylar Merrell @foreignpresscomics.bsky.social · Aug 2

How does one go about selling an RPG zine? Like a homemade adventure module?

Anyone willing to take a look at the first draft of a sci-fi script?

JLU is still so good. Like straight out of the gate, great episodes

What’s the smallest size comic you’d back on Kickstarter? 8 pages, 12 pages, or is 22 pages the smallest you’ll go?

Really considering bringing back the podcast as a quarterly zine, but I feel extremely unqualified to do so, both in terms of graphic design and ability to produce that much content.

Should I go for it?

Rewatching Shang-Chi, and it’s a lot better than I remember, but I still think it would’ve been better with less CGI magic ring battles and more martial arts

Give me some ideas, some inspiration, or just straight up suggestions for the sketchbook!
