Making art feels impossible for me atm. but then I thought about making Name-Tag-Stickers for my nephews / nieces and suddenly I could draw again. I even had fun designing different crests. Maybe doing something for a specific person does something with my brain?

We're not talking enough about how hard it is, as an illustrator:
to develop an unique voice and style that you get hired for specifically,
but ALSO to understand what the market(s) want and how to make your work fit in there ✨ at the same time ✨ !?

Another exploration.
Since my comic will be in black and white, I need to be more bold with bringing black into the designs.

a fun little social media "tip" i heard a while back and love doing from time to time is to go to a specific account you like and scroll their feed rather than a "for you" or "following" feed!
It's so fun because you get to deep dive in one person's work, AND it feels more intentional!

An attempt to redesign my main-character.
The design is still not vibing with me but I'm also very uncertain about the style. This might be too "realistic" in proportion and in textures.
BUT! I like the wings on her headpiece. Gonna keep them for now! XD

I need to "loosen up" the character-designs for my comic. I want them to be more fun and a bit silly. This is very hard to do for my main cast, so I decided to design some side characters because this might be less pressure. I think I'm in the right track! I like this fella!

Some studies.
On the left, I wanted to simplify stonewall and on the right forest. I find it very hard to get the texture of forest right and not just scribble a huge area of visual noise. QxQ

I got valuable feedback concerning my comic.
Basically I have to rework some things. Some is technical and fairly easy to improve upon but some has to do with my style and goes very much into kind of a "gut feeling territory". aka Not so easy!

I've decided to discontinue my Ramen-Stickerpacks.
The packaging is made of tea-bags and reused paper/cardboard and takes a lot of time to craft.
(Time I need for working on my comic for the foreseeable future .)

cringe, as an idea, is a dead end. it’s a means of writing off sincerity and earnestness in pursuit of some ill-defined concept of above-it-all cool. letting it help define online culture was a mistake. if you view everything as cringe, you are living an empty life
Honestly I think people are too quick to use the word cringe. To me, cringe is when I’m a little secondhand embarrassed but it’s ultimately harmless. Nothing cringe about millions of people wanting to speak out
