i miss having One special discord server of like… 15 people who are all creatives and we’re friends and share our creations and just vibe. I’m in so many servers but I have such a hard time getting used to bigger groups🥲

Yeah that’s gotta be extremely frustrating😖 Sorry for making wrong assumptions! I hope they offer you a proper solution or that you can find a better manufacturer. Making artbooks is so special, sorry this dampened the joy 🥲

And I’m sorry for the wall of text lmao I just thought perhaps explaining a bit would be helpful. Perhaps you already know all these things! I don’t wanna make any assumptions lmao
If you need a guy to help with print stuff hit me up. I’ve made artbooks before and i make print files for a living💃🏼

🎃 Jack O'Lilpy 🎃 @lilpy.bsky.social · 2d

So perhaps that’s why the books are so off? I hope you can find a solution for this because it sounds like the communication was pretty bad on their website and you really don’t deserve the extra headache.

in your video it looks like you picked an uncoated paper for the finished book? Test prints are often on 170g coated photo print paper(Bilderdruckpapier lmao) so the colour job is wildly different between these two options because uncoated paper sucks up a lot of toner/ink.

🎃 Jack O'Lilpy 🎃 @lilpy.bsky.social · 2d

(not meant in a negative way!! ) like this because printing the whole thing on fancy paper when it’s not going to be a finished product is not cost-efficient for the printer. Again, they need to be upfront about this. I’m not super sure but

Like, the colour job on a colour proof is 100% what you can expect in the final product and if they’re not delivering that, you have the right to get it reprinted or get your money back. Getting the entire book as a proof is somewhat unusual for a “small quantity”project

🎃 Jack O'Lilpy 🎃 @lilpy.bsky.social · 2d

But usually a “test print” is just for checking the layout of your book. Often you can also order a colour proof, which is usually one side of the cover or so on the paper that your item is actually going to be printed on. That one is definitely binding.

The thing with the different machines or even papers for test prints is somewhat normal with online manufacturers. It depends on what kind of proof you’re ordering. They definitely need to be upfront about what you’re getting of course!

i have learned that it usually means it’s improving🙂‍↕️💕

🎃 Jack O'Lilpy 🎃 @lilpy.bsky.social · 3d

With all the pizzazz!!!! Hell yeah!!!

🎃 Jack O'Lilpy 🎃 @lilpy.bsky.social · 3d

Yes exactly! Some people just cannot seem to shut up about their dislikes and it's ruining the fun for everyone around them. I've always wondered if that was on purpose but I just can't see the benefit??? But life's better now that they're gone and that's the important bit!

🎃 Jack O'Lilpy 🎃 @lilpy.bsky.social · 3d

🥹💕 It is!! And hands down, you being so open over the years about enjoying the topic has genuinely made a difference for me too so cheers to you for being a rad lad!! 😘❤️‍🩹

🎃 Jack O'Lilpy 🎃 @lilpy.bsky.social · 3d

Ikr!!! It's so good and I appreciate all the supportive friends i have these days SO much! I just wish the lingering shame would just be gone for good. one day!

🎃 Jack O'Lilpy 🎃 @lilpy.bsky.social · 3d

That's what we told them too back then but it was no use... they had made up their mind and no matter which point you'd bring up, you'd be talking to a wall lmao They had their own personal reasons why the topic was tricky for them but that doesn't mean they get to hurt their friends over it

have to* oops

🎃 Jack O'Lilpy 🎃 @lilpy.bsky.social · 3d

Right? I had to take a deep breath when i read that on that day lmao Apparently the reasoning was that "if they can present as any gender, why make them men when they're pregnant". I guess this person forgot trans people exist. Or that the lads just really don't have give a f*ck at all djsksdh

Don't get me wrong. Sometimes I have days where I literally drown in shame. But i still have hope that those will eventually be gone for good

🎃 Jack O'Lilpy 🎃 @lilpy.bsky.social · 3d

To think that I went from putting up with friends(who thankfully arent my friends anymore) who shamed anything to do with the ineffables being pregnant(even called it misogynistic) to regularly making alt versions of my smut where the lads have pregnancy bumps is wild
guess thats what healing's like

I'm so honoured my lines were used for this and look how rad the finished piece looks!! 🤩

server big art! thanks so much to @lilpy.bsky.social for contributing the lineart, A for organizing, and @mumblers-lobby.bsky.social for assembling 💕 #goodomens

an illustration of Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens. The lineart is by the artist @lilpy.bsky.social (used with permission), which has been divided into squares and coloured by different members of the Nice and Accurate Atelier discord server, before being reassembled into one piece. Crowley leans over Aziraphale, his curls tumbling over his shoulder, while Aziraphale looks up at him, reaching up to play with his hair.
