This applies equally to comics and illustration. It also helps to avoid a massive power discrepency, which way too commonly results in problems.
Make friends, learn WITH them, build creativity together. Find a joy in the shared process that will keep you going when things are rough.

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question:
Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends.
Make. Friends.

Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.

If you want creators coming over from twitter to feel like they can build something here, share their stuff.
It's so disheartening to regularly see 140 shares vs 900 likes on art posts.
Likes do nothing.
What do regularly have half the shares of the number of likes? Doom and gloom news articles.

Happy holidays one and all -
But especially to the like.. 100 of you who appeared overnight. I assume I've been added to a starter pack somewhere. In the interest of sharing, here's my starter pack for 100% certified human artists:

I will say this is a pretty great christmas present. All of paul's students have been producing absolutely stunning portfolio pieces, and if you're planning for the year ahead, this is an amazing course to consider.
I was planning on announcing the first 2026 art mentorship in a couple of weeks, but vet & cremation bills hit pretty hard so I'm going to open signups now.
Semester 9 begins in February - if you'd like to sign up or learn more, here's the website:

Thanks Google. In turning off their AI shit, it turned off email sorting. That means I'm now more aware of advertising because my watch and phone nags me about EVERY email. So obviously I'm unsubscribing and turning off notifications. Congrats to Google for losing other companies money.

More than a full 24 hours later I'm realising I could have made a Ghost Recon joke and I'm so mad.
I feel so guilty. The Ghost of Yotei team made these beautiful duel scenes but I’m fully incapable of the melee combat so I’m instead playing this game fully with the bow like some sort of Sniper Elite Japan mixed with a fox petting simulator.
