Thank you everybody for your recommendations, suggestions and shout outs! We've found an artist for this project now, but we're always working on more stuff so I'll be coming back to this list in the future I'm sure!

Working with a writer on something, so there will be a description but not a final design!

Looking to commission an artist for TWO spot illustrations of some original MECHA by the end of the month. Small budget, quick turnaround, but definitely paid work!
Any recommendations?

I would like a quote for SOME books with a NUMBER of pages please, if you could let me know how much for 1 copy and also 723 copies that would be swell. I also need to know by tomorrow morning!

Koguchi Press @koguchipress.com · 2d

I quite like this! I worry "PRESS" may not reproduce well at smaller sizes, but no doubt this has all been tested. Would love a case study w/ rationale, the brand in use and where the new mascot w/ the flag comes from... but for now I dig it!
Nicely done @picturecrotty.bsky.social

I don't doubt you, but I've been doing (some version of) this for nearly a decade now, and it hasn't happened yet!

Feel like I'm a baby wearing a tie when I do business stuff, plan books, pay for things. What am I doing here? Who do I think I am?

So sorry to hear about Matt. I’ve interacted with him a few times when we stocked some Star Fruit titles, was looking forward to talking more about new books. He was always so knowledgeable about manga and Star Fruit was clearly his passion.
My thoughts go out to Matt's friends and family.

Hey, if GenAI HAS been used, I'm right there with you. GenAI has no place in animation, comics, or anywhere. Machine learning, especially for automatic tweening etc., has it's place. The Spiderverse films are examples of using it in animation to great success.

TBF, I don't think that previous image has 6 fingers. That 6th finger is actually the back of the hand, between the guard on the back of the hand and the knuckle line. This image also looks like a simplified second-to-fourth finger blob and a strap across the palm not being coloured.
