KEY TAKEAWAYS:

(1) Patreon seems set to be blindsided by worsening paypros issues. They think it's all gravy and they are compliant in ways Steam / itch were not. Patreon staffer didn't even remember Steam & itch's names when addressing the question

(2) Feral will continue to have a hard time
I’m attending and will note anything of interest

😎 COOL ARTIST PROTIP: if you start signing your art with 2026 now then maybe, just maybe, you’ll be prepared come January and won’t have to spend the first three months of next year correcting a single digit before posting on all your work 😎

I used to be all in on traditional but eventually moved to almost exclusively digital- trad media, while fun, can be a massive pain. It’s messy, expensive, and you have to store so many supplies!! I felt very validated when Wayne Barlowe expressed the same sentiment in a stream interview, lmao
How has your process evolved over time? Are there any tools or methods you've fallen out of love with, or new favorites you've discovered along the way? Anything you'd like to return to if you someday found yourself possessing infinite time and money?

Zooming in is the devil speaking
Working in batches for each step helps me a lot so I don’t have to switch mental gears. Add speech bubbles early on so you don’t have to draw what’s behind em. And if you work digitally: don’t zoom in more than 100% for the love of god
how do you manage the time you spend on each page? do you have any time-saving tips/tricks you'd be willing to share?

Aw gee thank you!! And it’s a mix, but primarily I work from photobashed ref photos that I’ve taken myself. I’ll break out the 3d for complicated things like stairs or other inorganic objects though!
1) Your art is wonderful. I've had an Ultraviolents tab open on my phone since the 2nd Sickos Selection.

2) What is your process like for your backgrounds? Tracing photo/3d refs? Perspective lines? Freestyle? I've been asking comic artists because there's such a variety of answers and I love it!

I have a 30 min bus ride over to #FIL today so you all have my full attention 👁️👁️
Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.

I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

That's it for this edition of Sicko's Selection 3! Thank you SO MUCH for making it by far our most successful yet!

You've made the holiday season a lot brighter for 25 artists ❤️ and the reminder that so so many people love and are willing to support weird art, it's a great way to start 2026.

TONIGHT!!
For those who've missed it: I've been in Guadalajara for the past few months on residency! I'm giving a lecture this Friday to talk about what I've learned talking to local cartoonists.

It's a free event, just register at itsnero.com/jupiterfab ! (And yes, there will be Spanish translation!!)

Soon.
Vendor applications for Don's Dead Market will be going live this Monday November 24th!

This is a combination bundle & pop-up market. Artists will apply both to include one piece in a bundle of R18 achillean work that each customer receives with ticket purchase, and to vend at the virtual market! 👇
