OK SURE I guess I'll do a pinned post since I'm being more active.

I mostly do webcomics and animation. I don't post a lot abt my comics here... for now... BUT IF YOU WANT TO READ THEM...

Kelp's Comics

I mostly post original art + animation on this account, WHEN I REMEMBER TO, got a tag for it and all:

My Art

Though I have a way more comprehensive mess of stuff over on deviantart... until the site finally collapses...

Kelp's DA

I don't have a lot of energy for engaging w fandom but I DO have an alt account where I post my fan comic. To keep my star wars obsession in quarantine. (mostly reylo + stormpilot stuff):

Sketchbook Tour 1: KNUCKLES?!

Analysis of my recent artwork and tips on drawing perspective, scenes, hands, folds in clothing. Plus a special guest appearance.

I referenced @kelpgull as my muse for drawing hands. GOATED GOATED GOATED cannot express this enough.

hey guys it's time for me to shill for ComicFury again

ever think Man, I want to support artists but I can't afford to be on 60 different Patreons and fifty separate ko-fi subs?

well, you can support ComicFury at Patreon or Kofi instead and through a single donation support the actual hundreds of comic artists hosting there!

ComicFury is one of the only old school webcomic hosting sites still active, with seventeen years of putting its actual community of artists first, including such rarities as a no-ai policy and an active healthy forum with fair and clear moderation.

It's grown a lot in the past year and so needs have grown alongside it, so here I am doing the PBS Style donation drive post, lmao.

Here's Kyo's forum post about it since he's got a fairly concise explanation of what he's hoping to do from here (he didn't ask me to make this post, you can see me on page 4 saying I'll make it unsolicited).

Keep in mind this ask is only if you're in a position to support artists and have been wanting to, but ComicFury has been my comics home for years now and I'd like to see it continue to thrive, especially in the current environment of exploitation, censorship, and other abuse webcomickers have to deal with on other platforms. (because guess what, you can show violence and/or tiddy AND swear all you want on ComicFury as long as you properly rate your comic for it.)

Obviously Tumblr isn't going to let me blaze this post because it never does, lmao, so reblogs are appreciated!

Poking through my drafts, and totally forgot I did this a while ago. (I was bored one night and wanted to do some low-effort animation. So we've got this now!)

#GREAT ART #this has such a nice feel to it!

I do wonder if the spider/alien book will get too dark for some people, because I did a lot of thinking about what the biology of spider-centaurs would be, and decided that it'd be a lot like jumping spiders where the males are small and colourful and do pathetic dances, and the females are giant monsters who will eat smaller females. and you can't tell which sex a spider is until they moult into their adult colours.

THE REASON this might be too dark is that this means the spider colony is ruled over a giant matriarch who eats her own daughters once they're old enough to distinguish.

#ok this sounds cool as hell though #sign me up for spider centaur society

Luminous Void - Giving out invites!

Luminous Void is an art site, kinda in the same vibe as ComicFury. The site is small and quite quiet at the moment and I'd really like to get some more folks on there! Here's the site if you would like to take a look: https://luminousvoid.art/article/about

The site has been kicking for over a year now with a steady amount of updates, and the devs are pretty happy to talk about their project on their discord!

One HUGE plus for me is that they don't use a timeline based feed for your watch notification!! They use an inbox based one like old Deviant-Art did!

I only get 5 invites a month to let me know if you would like one!

#I WANT ONE #no scrolling feed yes please

And the next watercolour friend: a Reef manta ray! There's actually three species of manta rays, the Giant (the super huge one), the Atlantic, and the Reef, which is the smallest and the species that is most often seen on dives in French Polynesia.

This painting was my super favourite! I just loved the way the shape turned out and how it all seemed to flow, and somehow the colours worked very well. Especially considering how dark it had to be (it's quite difficult to get very black blacks with watercolour!).

However I must say that the last two paintings of the series are also turning out much to my liking. Keep an eye out for them soon!
