For those able and interested in providing additional financial support:

My commissions are open. You can see the details here. (Commissions do not take away from my time making the comic, and are critical to stabilizing my living situation)

Support via Patreon goes directly to creating the comic, and is the best ongoing way to support Suihira.

Suihira merchandise and some original artwork is available to purchase via Ko-Fi.

I look forward to showing you all the Book I print preview next month!

Thank you for all your hard work getting this beast of a book made and shipped. Really, this comic is a 1 inch thick chonker! And it’s so pretty

I love the artwork by Nina Matsumoto on the new Fangamer Ace Attorney shirts! I was inspired to illustrate my own design of that style for the Ace Spirit Medium, Maya Fey. :) It was a lot of fun!

If you're a supporter of the comic, I'd like you to give this a read. Thank you!

Gave this blog a bit of a cleanup! I've been pretty active on my twitter for the last 8ish years but I've grown to enjoy tumblr a little more these days, so I want to be more active here. Anyway, this blog should be more fun to browse now. :)

Got this ask from an acct I don’t use anymore:

Hey, I wanted to ask you a question since you're a webcomic artist: can you make a webcomic while having a full time job? Like, if you were to have a job that's a full time job but you can still make your webcomic if you find the time? Asking from someone who wants to make her own webcomic in the future. 😉

It is very, very hard, but it is possible. If you know your schedule is full, keep the comic as simple as possible, and your schedule as sustainable as possible. Know your limits and work well below them.

I'm thinking of starting a webcomic, how would I go about finding a professional lettering font? I already know to stay the hell away from comic-sans.

last I checked blambot has a lot of nice ones that are free for indie peeps.

I threw some tapas coin your way because Suhira is awesome! Brian Santiago, author of Erma, has you bookmarked on Tapas, so that's how I found you. Congrats on producing great art and a compelling story!

Thank you!
