I'm Claire! I'm an animator by day and an illustrator by night - I make a webcomic called Phantomarine! 💙

A ghostly princess must sail across a haunted sea to save her soul from a devious shapeshifting death god known as the Red Tide King.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Getting critique on your work feels like cheating sometimes.

Hello outside viewer, please point out my weak points I might have trouble seeing so I may strengthen them with precision. Soon I will be unstoppable. Muahaha etc.

Today's Art Tips are about Character Design!

- TRY TO STAY AWAY FROM ASYMMETRICAL DESIGNS. The constant double checking gets real old, real quick.

- implify the color palette to one hue to get an instantaneous "read"! Ppl can easily track who is who if they associate them with a specific color.

The image is a six panel black and white comic

Panel 1- A small child is being told "You'll want kids when you're older!" The child responds with "I don't think so..."

Panel 2- The same child, now a teenager, is being told, "You'll change your mind when you're older." To which the teen responds, "I doubt that"

Panel 3- Now an adult, someone off screen asks them, "Aren't you thinking of having kids?" To which they respond, "Nope"

Panel 4- The same person, an older adult now, is being told, "better have kids soon, or it'll be too late!" to which they respond, "That's fine"

Panel 5- Now elderly, they are once again asked "Don't you feel like you missed out?" to which they say, "Still nope."

Panel 6- They are now in their death bed, clearly close to death. The nurse says, "Shame you didn't have kids, don't you regret it?" To which the person says "You know what just kill me already"

In terms of the bad things that have happened?

UNEQUIVOCALLY WORSE

Phantomarine @phantomarine.bsky.social · 23h

Phantomarine wasn't even accepted to a publisher because of socials, really. I wonder how many people think that it was. Because... lol, I wish.

My work can reach a larger audience on modern socials, and that has helped it grow.

But there have been no groundbreaking opportunities from modern socials, apart from someone probably going "hey, she has a couple thousand followers" and accepting me to a convention or two.

Better things happened for me in forums than on modern socials.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

everybody’s jealous of me since I decided to get plastic surgery to have Cuttlefish skin. they‘re resentful because I camouflage myself as a brick wall or a gorseberry bush in order to steal their croissants off their plates at cafes. I’ve never felt so beautiful

I've been working on an essay about The Struggles of TTRPG Outreach and Fandom but I think this tumblr post just captured the whole sentiment im like 100 words.

Fact: Apart from pure recognition factor, one of the major reasons your fanart gets more eyes on it than your OCd is because people are perverts for narrative context, and your OCs don't have any.

Corollary: you don't actually need to write a whole-ass graphic novel to achieve that narrative context. You do need to know what your OC's story is, but once you do, you can literally just draw contextless snapshots from that story that raise more questions than they answer and people will fill in the blanks.
