Hai!!! I'm an Artist, Privacy Enthusiast, and Vocaloid Fan trying help build a better tomorrow!

  • What are your top 5 favorite aesthetics?

    Jump

  • Frutiger Aero for it's tranquility

    Liminal Space for it's eeriness but also sometimes it's oddly comforting nature

    Coastal Style for the nostalgia and tranquility

    Spacecore because space is colourful & pretty

    Neo Tokyo because I like pretty neon cities

    I don't all about aesthetics and it's hard to pick just five so it's extremely possible I'll find a new one I like more.

  • Reddit forces login to access old.reddit.com

  • I think I went to Reddit at first because of what it was, I watched a lot of Reddit "reading" videos for a while so decided to join myself, but the Reddit I wanted to join was already gone by the time I actually did join, then it got worse until I didn't want to take it anymore, the AI got added, then the Games, that was the final straw I think.

  • Bluesky’s active user base is shrinking as its focus expands beyond the app: 10.4 million monthly active users worldwide in June 2026, down 27.2% year-over-year.

    Jump

  • This might be a bit of a hot take but I do visit Bluesky more than Lemmy, there's more activity there & it's less of an echo chamber, Bluesky still is a bit of an echo chamber I guess but not as much Lemmy can be, also some of the niches I like aren't on Lemmy. I do hope Lemmy gets more users & Activity, it'd be a bit more comfortable to use.

    Jump

  • The joke is that hundreds & thousands wouldn't really be "Hundreds & Thousands" if there was one, and the same goes for rainbow sprinkles wouldn't be very rainbow if there was one, the Ultraviolet was just Cartoon silliness, the to jokes at once was because Hundreds & Thousands is a more British term to my knowledge so I did both so Anyone could get the joke.

  • I'm gonna put this Comic on a short Hiatus after this so I can update my ref sheets & make more characters & make a map of where the characters live, just to make the comic a bit better, hopefully, I don't know exactly how long it'll be but I don't think very long.

  • Guy, Bird, TV, Mergal Season 1 Strip 4: Bad "Adaptation" (Inspired by a Dream I had)

    Jump

  • Well I made up most of the things mentioned in this, but I might make this a character trait for Static, he just sometimes says things that sound like complete gibberish whilst acting like his friend group knows (they visibly don't), also Meri never played the Game the Movie they watched was "based on", and Carl & Spectrum weren't there.

    Jump

  • Yeah I agree it really feels like my visuals improved a lot, Kinda crazy to think I've come a long way even tho it's not even been a month of comics, that's what happens when you take constructive criticism. I think what I need to tackle now is my lack of a singular gag or joke per comic, now it feels more like a collaboration of several jokes in one comic rather than a build-up to a punchline, I think the closest I get is making a gag and then turning that into a build-up for another joke which maybe works IDK I guess it depends on the gags.

    Jump

  • I'll try that, I don't think I'll do Black outlines but ones that are like darker shades of the colour they surround. Also I don't use GIMP.

    Jump

  • The Exclamation Point is Static( The TV Head Guy)'s reaction but Iove your of acknowledgement of "Background Chair Shenanigans" I will defo be adding more now. I haven't done the stick figure thing but that sounds like a good idea, now I think about it I have no idea how Meri (Atlantean Gal) ended up like that.

  • If I don't meet this Deadline I think I might flip also NOOOO I misspelled Atlantean Also also I'm bad at that drawing Spectrum

    Jump

  • Well I think this ad has done it's job, people know this comic exists, it seems a lot of people don't like it, but they know it exists.

  • I did design a separate logo as an addable layer I think the problem was that I tried making a Vector graphic in a different app than I'm used to. I tried to condense the information in the image but I also didn't know how to introduce people to the concept and characters and keep it brief, It was a bit hard with dark text on the darker areas like Meri's Hair Static's Coat, I think I should of used white text on those areas, truth to be told I don't think I actually thought where the eyes follow much, thank you for the constructive criticism
