I just finished this, and I absolutely could not put it down. If you want to read a take on 1984 but from a woman's perspective, it's excellent (and horribly depressing, but also kinda hopeful?). There's also just a liiiiiiittle touch of sapphic romance

Here we are! Page 1 of Issue 2 of Stardust Heyday!! I know everybody's super excited to get a little bit of plot, so, here it is. Probably more plot next week! Who is this mysterious woman? And will I ever put detail into my backgrounds? Who can say, really #webcomic #art #drawing

Got a few more followers lately, pushing me over the 2k number, so hi! Hello!

Here's some of my more recent work! You can find it and the first "issue" of my webcomic, Stardust Heyday, on my website!

The webcomic will continue next week www.stardustheyday.com

For those who may not know, adding alt text to images is very easy! Just describe what the image is. It's a helpful tool for people who may not be able to see what it is you're posting

If I can add alt text to the following page of my comic, then it really can't be that hard, can it?

I've been a bit light on updates for my comic -- I've been on a job hunt, and I've been brushing up on my Japanese -- but I do want to get back to it! Hopefully we can start Issue #2 next week

Here's the cover for Issue #1

Yet another AI feature that is being forced on users and creators without anyone's consent, this time on YouTube

I am begging large YouTube creators to find some kind of alternative. YouTube wouldn't be doing this is if it had literally one (1) healthy competitor

Me: "Speaking of women,"

You: "I didn't even mention women. I'm not even talking to you."

Me: "Anyway, back onto our topic, which was women,"

Hellooor! I've created a cover for my webcomic! It's a simple collage, but I think it represents what's inside. I've also cleaned up some of the art in the actual comic. The whole breadth and depth of it so far can be read here: www.stardustheyday.com/kayandemufob... #art #webcomic #drawing

Reposting a vertical version of this because I am so proud of it. I could draw Lightning a hundred more times, and probably will

People are always asking me what font I use in my webcomic (literally no one has ever asked this) and I always tell them that it's a free one! It's the most readable handwritten font I could find that wasn't stock www.fontspace.com/qd-hand-font... #webcomic #fonts

Doing some clean-up work on my comic! I got a little sloppy in spots trying to meet a deadline, and I don't want this to be a grind. I want this to be a labor of love. So, I'm going to stop and work on the art a bit. And also maybe draw a cover for the first "issue" myeh heh #art #drawing #webcomic

This movie is also fascinating because it’s a very early sound film. The camera was locked in a giant soundproof box so it didn’t end up in the film

As a result, scenes are played in simple locked-down shots, like it’s a stage play

That’s after silent movies perfected camera movements like this:

Stardust Heyday's 22nd page! This wraps up the first "issue"!! Something is definitely going on here, and we'll get to the bottom of it as the story continues! We'll also see more from Dylan and his strange alien visitor... #art #webcomic #drawing

This comic went to the top of Reddit, for whatever reason, and if you wonder what that's like, it translates to a total of... 30 clicks to my website

If anybody needs me, you'll have to contact me through my agent, I just cannot handle this attention
