especially rough, but I keep at it regardless. Maybe it’s me, maybe it’s AI, but my usual streams of work have dried up almost entirely.

At the end of the day I do art for myself, and I’ll always do it, but it’s starting to look like I’ll have to retire from freelancing if things don’t pick up.

Looks great. I’m not a painter in the slightest (outside of the odd watercolour), but I can see how they’d be useful.

Thanks! Most of my favourite artists make comics, but I’m not really into comics either (not superheroes anyway). It’s just a way to tell the stories I have in my head at the end of the day.

Anyway, that’s very kind of you to say. I’m very new to all this, so I appreciate the boost in confidence.
