Missed #WebcomicDay, oh well, better late than never. My solo webcomic THE HUNTER is an action thriller with monsters and miracles. It's a fun mix of urban fantasy vibes and simple film noir structure, with magic and fights, but ultimately it's about inevitable corruptibility of organized religion.

Classic Procreate brush names: HB pencil, 6B pencil, technical pencil Procreate brush names after they rescued Kyle from Adobe dungeons: whatever the fuck this is:

i'm sure i'm late to the party and it's probable already been clowned on ages ago, but this godawful naming style is the reason i always nope out of even trying any of that and return to classic every damn time i happen to look at it i'm sure the brushes are great i'm not touching any of it

me buying a rainbow colored weekly pill organizer so i don't have a pile of bottles and packs all over my desk: ☺️ me realizing half the shit i'm deficient in comes in huge ass pills that don't all fit in there: 😐

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

In the meantime I built myself a new website to replace my current one that is hosted in Russia and in .ru domain zone, therefore isn't all that reliable to have as the only option. Unlike the old one, this is very barebones and just links to other places, but it will grow over time. AnnArde.art

my comics are currently linked to tapas, as i don't want to link back to my .ru site. Hopefully BlamPow takes off soon, and i'll just link TH there, and Noo... well. idk what to do with Noo. English version needs heavy editing, i might not be able to do it myself. we'll see.

that's my comic over there, going places 👀 really looking forward for this whole ecosystem to flourish

spent a whole bunch of money, time, and nerve cells to learn that the dog is probably stressed but overall okay actually

We've made quite a few quality-of-life improvements over the past week. 🗣️ Multi-language support 🔃 Swap pages without losing panels & alt tags 🚫 Mark a series as "not interested" 🍽️ Series defaults make creating new chapters easier 🔗 Profile links just like Bluesky 🫥 New series visibility settings

keep thinking my earlier pages aren't that good and don't want to ever look at them, but then when i have to (for site migration purposes and whatnot) turns out they're really good actually idk why my brain does this to me

back into vet visit trenches, it seems i wish i could just catch a break from all this irl stuff but moreso i wish my dog would never age alas

two flats ago sketched him on the gutters of my script notepad, his face didn't have that much gray hair back then. now it looks more white than black

when you think you know how colors mix but then grub a multicolor pencil 4in1 with yellow so thick that nothing else will layer on top of it fun but annoying, since i have a habit to constantly rotate a pen/pencil in my hand to loosen the grip, and if the yellow side happens to be down - oh well

looked through my old scans the other day, of many notepads i couldn't bring with me when emigrating. used to doodle so much, just random figure drawing, mostly in ballpen, eventually with markers... went and bought a cheap small 100gsm sketchbook and doodled how i used to. it was therapeutic

randomly opened a page from The Hunter and re-read till the last finished one. it's so good. the compositions just get better and better, some decisions in visuals now that i forget enough about making them look so impressive... i need to dredge my way through all the irl bullshit to get back to it

wanted to add some pages but the best ones are spoilery af and i still have some hang ups about posting spoilers, so idk, let it be the horse

Drew Semeon yesterday for the first time in years. Needed it for the new website, ticked it off the list like any other task, didn't really feel anything. Other than familiarity i guess. I know him, i'm comfortable drawing him still. What a character he was. Wish i'd miss him, but i don't anymore.

i guess that's normal. that story has ended, nothing more to say. back in the day i thought of maybe doing a Semeon prequel to Noo. never happened, and at this point likely never will.

as if i didn't have enough stuff to deal with, now i need to piss-proof the entire apartment from the older dog who is now in his elderly phase i guess, and the younger who copies his every move, including this one unfortunately

not to turn my acc into concerta posting BUT shit is truly life-changing. to think that it is completely banned in some countries and i would have never even tried it have i not immigrated, and would have kept living in this never-ending mental swamp till i die... ughh

now would be nice to finally climb out of the pit of accumulated chores and use this energy for my creative work at last, but alas, the pit got really really deep. at least i'm climbing now

funny how i've been working on a new website (because the current one is going to go kaput soon, thanks to some new russian law) for a few months now with no end in sight, and now with the tapas news the build your own website discourse is all over my bsky tl again. i'm trying okay!

(and i have some experience with it, can't imagine having to learn this shit from scratch. it's fun, i use to love it back in highschool, but those were simpler times with simpler tech i guess)

gazing lovingly at a flyer from a local bakery with some graphic design is my passion type photoshopped sandwiches, being so relieved that this small business didn't go _that_ route in their advertisement. you know, _that_ one

when you're having a single spoon kind of day, but making breakfast to take the meds after requires at least two (one for coffee, one for food, secret third one if - when, realistically, - i drop something, spill it all over the kitchen and have to clean up)

went to the language school in person after having classes online for a while, was greeted by a slop poster on the wall. sloppiest of slops, piss filter and all. "made" by one of the students, but that's not an excuse ffs

Ok, so I finally did a starter pack. If you're NOT a man and do webcomics, let me know!

watercolor sketches of every costume of Mon Mothma from #Andor s2 act 1. love how they all serve the narrative and show the progression of Mon's state of mind while also look gorgeous and the last one isn't so much a costume study but an appreciation of the mental breakdown rave scene #watercolors

Simultaneously feeling the effect of Concerta on my productivity, being angry that NT people just always live like that, hoping it's not a placebo, and crushing hard when it wears off sure is a trip. please work longterm, you stupid pill 😔
