took a short break to process the episode but i'm back on the comic grind now!

[emdeejaydraws]

wow hey look at that, thanks for 1000 followers everyone! hopefully i'll have some more art for you soon

[emdeejaydraws]

btw since i need the money, i'm thinking about putting a major discount on my commissions. pretty much half off everything. i'll make an updated sheet when i have some time, but if anyone is interested, feel free to dm!

[emdeejaydraws]

Genuine question, would anyone be interested in art streams or something like that in the future? I've never been good at self advertisement but I'm in a spot right now where all I have is my art and I'd like to do more things people are genuinely interested in.

Any advice would be appreciated!

[emdeejaydraws]

i really appreciate it when people who came for my tadc art or another fandom stop to like my ocs as well, it makes me happy

I love that toony aesthetic you draw and wonder what this world of Obscure Toon you have is like

Oh, thank you!

It's a place where toons go after their shows are cancelled, like a cartoon afterlife. Deirdre's town specifically is for lost media. Toons who've been forgotten or rejected without much chance of revival. There are a lot of districts, and it's a very big, chaotic place with diverse characters from all over the world, like Kitty/Koshechka, who's a Soviet toon from the late 1960s!

Deirdre's a social worker, so it's her job to get new toons settled in the right places and resolve problems with old toons. After many years on the job, she's gotten pretty jaded about it, haha.

Nono. We don’t track followers here. You don’t mention that.

i appreciate it, but i've been here for many, many years. it really did feel like a small victory haha
