Back from my birthday hiatus, and um, wow... was not expecting this kind of overwhelmingly positive reaction to a simple QRT about how we used Dissolve Mode in our BG paintings on Carol and the End of the World (see last image) - since people seemed to have enjoyed that so much, I thought I'd put all the pages of the Carol and the End of the World BG Paint style guide I drafted in one post! TBH I'd been meaning to do this for awhile but kept forgetting since I have it in a different folder than the BG paintings themselves... I believe all the paintings are mine and all the designs are by Alex Myung unless otherwise noted. I wrote this pretty early on pre-vis, so some of these guidelines got a little massaged during production, but the broad strokes are definitely still there! This wasn't the only style guide on the show BTW! A couple of our other leads Alex Myung and Kal Athannassov also put together a BG and Character Design style guide that are super cool - unfortunately I don't have the files myself (nor would I feel comfortable posting work that's not mine) nor do I think they've posted them yet, so if you two were looking for a sign to do so, this is it!! Now you have everything you need to paint like a Caroler - thanks for looking!! Showrunner: @dan-guterman Art direction: @ellemichalka

got an ask recently about the way my digital art looks like traditional, so I tried to explain the steps on my self portrait, feat. some of my favorite artists and favorite brushes. sorry if it's incoherent, I'm not used to explaining my process besides "I've been professionally studying traditional art for half my life and I'm really bad at technology so I just paint digitally the way I do on paper"

Hey, I've been seeing you covering what's going on with @jasperzine, aka Tiger Bomb. I'm not sure how old the posts are though, has there been any new developments? I paid money for the zine and am quite upset. :(

Hi- all I know is Melskunk (the person in charge of the zine) is kind of hiding on instagram and spending a lot of money on enamel pins. When they post here it’s usually one vague sentence and then they leave (a month ago they posted “stop harassing the artists” and absolutely nothing else). They’ve given people an email to reach for refunds but have ignored all emails. Bigcartel, the website she used to “sell” the zines, state in their ToS they can only do an investigation after three formal complaints have been submitted. I submitted one of the three so I hope two other people out there do so as well that way she at least has to be transparent with Bigcartel about what’s happening. It doesn’t mean Bigcartel will sue her— unless she ignores them like she’s ignored everyone else, but it will force her to talk about what’s happening.

The email they provided for a refund request is [email protected] but they don’t answer emails.

The link to Bigcartel’s complaint form is here.

I’m sorry you’ve gotten involved in this :(

Interesting. I’ll see what I can do from my end - I submitted a piece to the original zine, but have a hard time tracking down info/what happened beyond this.

[dagillus]

This isn't the same person who did the original zine. That person had disappeared of the face of the earth, so gembeasttemple is launching their own

Thank you for the correction. It’s frustrating that that was not made clearer in that case, information on what happened has been difficult to come by directly.

[dagillus]

I know I’ve been pretty silent here that’s for these reasons :

1) this isn’t my main art, it was a side thing because my “daytime job” art is very out of this vein of stuff

2) day job art took up all of my art time, partly due to having a hand injury which made making non-work art difficult

But! My living situation is changing and I will be doing more “side” artwork again. Hooray!

IF YOU ARE READING THIS, CHANCES ARE YOU GO ON THE INTERNET EVERYDAY. THE FCC IS NOW PLANNING ON REPEALING NET NEUTRALITY. THIS MEANS THAT POPULAR WEBSITES WILL RUN SLOWLY UNTIL YOU PAY AN EXTRA FEE. WE WOULD NO LONGER HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF USING WEBSITES AND RESEARCHING FOR FREE. 

TEXT ‘RESIST’ AT 50409 AND TELL YOUR SENATORS THAT NET NEUTRALITY NEEDS TO STAY.

[systlin]

Seriously. Resistbot is great. Text it. It lets you write a letter it then faxes to the offices of your congresspeople and senators. If you keep getting told that ‘messages are full’ when you try to call on the phone, try Resistbot. 

Also, if you have anxiety about speaking to people on the phone, Resistbot requires no human interaction. You write a letter via text, resistbot does the rest. 

[weavemama]

I just did mine!!! It took less than 3 minutes. seriously guys, taking 3-5 minutes out of your day to contact your senator or congressman for FREE can help save the internet.

[systlin]

It’s so easy, you guys, seriously. 

[jolie-in-the-underground]

Okay, not Undertale but this shit is SUPER IMPORTANT KIDS so please, take five minutes out of your day to do this! If you can’t be bothered, we can’t be friends anymore.

[redeyedryu]

This isn’t in line with my usual blog content but please take a moment to do this. It’s so important, guys.

Hello Followers !

Just wanted to say thank you.

I hope I can squirrel away more time in 2017 to make more works to share with you. I know I don’t talk much about myself but in short, I’m a few decades old, self-employed, perma-injured person just trying to make it through day to day. I like the thought that maybe something I draw might make someone happy, or help them have a better day, especially in light of trying times. It’s rough out there for pretty much everybody, it’s ok to have bad days. It’s ok to want better ones too. Try to be excellent to yourself as well as others. It’s hard and it takes practice, but that’s what growth and change entail.

Peace, out!

Crappy phone photos X3

Recently started doing ink gesture studies using the CroquisCafe series on YouTube. These are are all done the 1min segments at the beginning of their videos.

10min sketch from this morning, since @amegaotaku asked if I tried drawing Maui yet.

Used the doodle as an excuse to try and use ClipStudioPaint again, but running into the problem of pressure sensitivity - feels like drawing in molasses/have to slam pen down to get any line to show up, which is different from how my Photoshop works...? Unsure if anyone has that prob too/knows of a solution?

[jasperzine]

Last day for preorders!

Order here!

Just a reminder, while there might be copies available after printing, this is the only time to get the stickers (4!) and Beach City postcard!

Preview of the piece I did for the You Belong Here Zine, a zine w/positive messages for those dealing with suicide & depression, and whose proceeds go to The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

I have struggled with both suicidal thoughts & depression in my life - my own, and that of family and friends. I know how tough it is to keep going - especially now. I want you all to know you’re not alone!

Seek help if you need to, there is nothing but honor in seeking ways to become a more capable human being so you may live & thrive.
