Obligatory Gratitude Post
Hey y'all! I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you, whether you followed for content or came and left, whether you met me at the very start or just joined the party, for supporting with me throughout this year. 2025 has been made unique by all of your interactions, and I want to give gratitude for each reblog, like and comment. I look forward for fresh content and new friends in 2026 and beyond.
I know I sometimes lag on content and ghost the blog without announcing; I'll do my best to prevent that from happening, or at the very least, make a post about my inactivity.
And last but not least, some people I wish to tag to thank for the wonderful content they produce and for making 2025 extraordinary!

AWWWWWWWEE
THANK YOU SO MUCH ARTI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CANT WAIT TO SEE HOW AWESOME WE CAN MAKE 2026!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
after 4 years of drawing webcomics, this is my wisdom:
- start now. now. now now now. or else you'll never draw this damn thing
- it's fine if you don't have the entire story figured out yet, it'll happen naturally
- draw what you want to draw!! webcomics often run for years, so you better work with something you like
- don't overcomplicate things. a simple, efficient work flow is your top priority in order to stay consistent
- bullshit some things. trace background refs. reuse poses. draw your character's face from different angles and just copy paste it in to save time. be smart about your work baby
- take breaks if needed. webcomic burnout is real
- sometimes, a panel or a page looks bad. shit happens. move on
- lettering is actually really important and super hard to pull off
- it's your comic. do what you want forever!!!
- I'm begging you again to work smart, not hard. reuse backgrounds. use brush sets for webcomic artists. trace 3D objects. use 3D models to pose your characters
- you may need hours or days to draw one panel, but people will look at it for 5-8 seconds. keep that in mind
- a simple background is better than no background at all (avoiding the white void increases the quality of your work by a ton!)
- sometimes the anatomy needs to be a little off to make an interesting shot/panel. that's fine, don't worry about it too much
- at least 2000px canvas and 300 dpi for good quality results
- it's okay to stop by the way. it's okay to move on from a project if you no longer find joy in it
Here's the OC I picked (also feel free to find Ashmaker, she's on my first OC Masterlist on my sideblog) and all the credited art of him (plus my picrew of him as an original final draft design, also credit to the picrew maker and site)!

Hey, sorry to bring this topic up again but I’m just really confused. I don’t understand how someone can look at two characters that are canonically related (yes, it was confirmed) and think, “I want to ship them and I’m going to ship them.” Even if it’s an AU where they’re supposedly not related, how and why does someone even think of that? I don’t get it.
a) i cant find anything that shows it was confirmed and no im not watching the whole show just to please u, and i dont know!!!!!!!! im not them!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stop bothering me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! go ask them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just letting you know that human person blog you sent a nice message to is aphobic and into incest.
who???????????? i need clarification broski
oh that person.. i sned message now because i couldn't find anything on their blog that showed them as aphobic and into incest so this anon could jsut be started drama
me personally i think its fine for aro/ace ppl to ship aro/ace ppl, if they have the right reasons for it and not something like "oh but its more interesting as romantic, platonic is boring!!!!" etc
human person user clarified it is an au that they are not related in, and in the show its not clear if they are related, i believe.
in the future please do not bother me about stuff like shipping drama. i do not care. unless they support that stuff irl and are genuinely acephobic, which this person clearly is not, do not pull me into shipping crap. i do not care.
