Issue 8 is done!
The Ballad of Sally Sprocket & Piston Pete, my graphic novel project of the past 8 years, is DONE. Clocked in at a total of 272 pages.
I might someday return to this particular steampunk world, but it'll be in the form of shorter one-off adventures. I learned a lot of invaluable lessons about webcomics over the years I worked on this and you can bet next time around it'll be even greater!
Also, Anime Expo is this weekend!! I debuted my first SSnPP book at Artist Alley in 2009 and it's fitting I'll be debuting final issue of the series there as well. Table J-28, come on down and say hi!
My 2024 thus far...
Still keeping busy...! I realized I didn't post anything in February at all (and just one piece in January), but a lot of stuff is in production. I've also been terribly sick for the past eight days 😷 just tons and tons of mucus/congestion every day + excruciatingly hard to fall asleep at night. I started on some prescriptions Friday so hopefully it'll done with sometime next week. As far as new art goes, I downloaded Nightshade but I do all my work on an older gaming laptop so still waiting for some new RAM to arrive in the mail before I can give that a whirl. (I don't know if I need to say it, since it's been said everywhere, but I accept that AI image-generating can be a tool. I'm all for it being used to sample things in the public domain, or work that's so ubiquitous that it's plainly obvious where the source comes from, stuff like Darth Vader and Starry Night by Van Gogh.) I draw the line at sampling living artists and their specific works or styles, especially when it was done

Based on a recent conversation with KatMiLo...
Well technically I've had this convo on-&-off again with @KatMiLo @BlankEye and a couple other creator friends with long-running projects. That anxiety of creating your own thing and worrying that it might not come out right. This set of ideas that's swelled and blossomed for years in your head, but feeling like it'll get lost in the execution. It's hard, especially during long production hours, of waving off those doubts and second-guesses. For me, by the 100th hour or so, I end up thinking about Sturgeon's Law, and how far deep I fall into that "90% of crap" territory. With how everything works these days, the so-called "attention economy" and fighting for every scrap of someone else's time, you either want to be rich, famous, or infamous. Being "just okay" is death... isn't it? But it's been a fun journey unto itself. One of self-growth but also the social joy of putting one's work out there in the world. I especially enjoy having the opportunity to exhibit at live shows and the
