I've never felt totally comfortable with color (outside of a limited palette, which is effectively just color by numbers in value) and I need to learn more and get comfortable!

What are your tips on keeping color palettes harmonious while still letting vital elements pop in comics?

YESSS!! Speaking of furry comics, modern fursonas as we know them were invented by Ken Coug'r (Ken Sample), a Black illustrator who started drawing furries in the mid-70's and was the first to really explore them as an extension of the self in the late 80's! He also has a very charming style imo.

A Human's Touch would be fantastic, and would be a good place to add Miss Piggy in for a duet imo. Can you see my vision. She's dressed in a cute metallic suit a la pigs in space but with more rivets

George's idea was that Havve would be trying to get Animal's autograph, but avoiding Dr. Bunsen Honeydew because he wants to see what makes Havve tick. In the end I think animal can't write and would just mush his face into the headshot

What do you think they would play if they could only do 2 numbers? My first instincts are Critters and Strike a Pose

HOURLIES 2026 PART I
since it's a Sunday this year, the day isn't nearly as packed as it would be otherwise. Almost wish I'd just done them for yesterday because we went to a SUPER cute cafe and bought yarn

Everyone either knows a Gus or simply is a Gus. This shy future historian can't catch the bus on time, but maybe he can catch your attention while you both go to Heartbeat Highschool in 1997!
