Hello, been awhile since I made one of these. Always rather shy when it comes to this stuff, but I am trying to get out of my comfort zones. Considering this year has been my most productive year since 2016, and many years simply not having art posted at all between then, I think it it has been working out.

Still, I feel my art has not improved as much as I like, and perhaps seeking out actual feedback may help. My new comic, Doomed Coons, is making slow progress on page 3. I noticed many mistakes, some minor, some more glaring, with the first 2 pages. Somewhat due to simply over looking the smaller flaws and continuity errors, and somewhat due to rushing them a bit and giving myself more leniency due to it being a larger comic. Seeing the results though made me realize that I should take a lot more time with a project like that. It is a lot bigger undertaking than I expected and I want to treat it with care. Also, I want to make it the best it can be simply for the fact that there is very little Spiffo porn out there, and if I can make the highest quality of it's kind that would bring me a lot of joy for such an underated character.

In other news I caved and started actively posting to Twitter relatively recently. twitter.com/gipbandit before it was just an automated link dump to my InkBunny submissions, and I don't even use InkBunny anymore so I started posting my stuff directly to Twitter instead. So if you like Twitter and like my art you can go there.

I used to take commissions when I was more active before, but deadlines always scare me, and it's of course always easier to put my own imagination to canvas than the vision of somebody else. However, I think within a month or two I may try my hand at it again, if people are actually willing to pay. Pricing is always tricky, I don't want to overvalue my own art and scare potention customers away, but regardless of outcome art is still a lot of time and effort. I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter.

I'm gonna finish this journal by plugging my boyfriend's (@ninjatommy21) art, because why not. I literally would not have gotten back into art if I was not inspired by him starting his own artistic ambitions. He is relatively new but improving quickly, and he is takeing commissions now. He made the icon I am using currently, as well as a few other things I commed from him. Check him out at the very least, support for him is support for me and every engagement eventually adds

That's all for now, thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
