    Yeah, going to be a while for me to build up to the point where I'm also doing stuff like 'Ignore a whole lot of defenses'. Need to actually get some techniques for that, as well.

    For now, squishy annoyance.

    Niiiice.

    If, you know, enraging.


    Edit: to honk myself off further, let's go to the CBC website and see what they're NOT covering today! ^_^ Probably NOT the IMF saying 'Hey, it'll be expensive to start dealing with climate change - loss of growth [Announcer's voice: Which is the problem] and more inflation - but it'll be a ****-ton more expensive if we don't hit our targets and at least mitigate the damage!'

    Edit: prophetic of me. -_-

    RIP Kim Jung Gi.

    His work speaks for itself, but here's an old interview/bio from Stan Prokopenko that goes into his life and process.

    47 is way too young.

    Brainstorming characters for the Ruins rpg and rn I have two chars that I would’ve liked to use somewhere in sone form for a little while now so they’re competing in my head lol.

    Ones more interesting on a character level but the other is more interesting on a “write combat scenes good” way hmm

    Try making both, and see which one turns out better.

    Thanks. "Serviceable" is the most realistic goal for me to shoot for at this stage. :V


    I'd be intrigued to see you try speech and lettering because boy is that stuff way harder than it looks.
    I have actually done a few things with speech bubbles, though nothing I feel comfortable posting here. It is indeed more difficult to work with than one would think. I will say, even as someone who has mostly had a relatively minimalist writing style (though maybe not as much so in recent years), it is definitely a separate skill to be able to properly script a comic.

    What is Rumbles coming to?

    [Shakes cane] You kids! Get off my lawn!
    If I get more than 30 seconds to look at anything, I absolutely want to, but at a time when work is ridiculously busy, I’m also directing a play and my wife is having a spinal procedure (non-surgical… for now), I’m finding time to be at a bit of a premium.
