🇬🇧Made solid progress on the manga this month, and successfully finished an illustration too!
🇯🇵今月は漫画もしっかり進捗を生み出せて、イラストも無事に完成しました。
🇬🇧 Making progress! Step by step, it’s finally starting to look like a real background.

🇬🇧 I went to Comitia not expecting much for my own work. But I’m leaving with a lot of reviews from editors and at least 1 publisher genuinely interested. This is a good day! 😭✨
🇯🇵 正直そこまで期待せずに初参加したコミティアでしたが、多くの編集者の方に見てもらい、少なくとも1社から名刺（お声がけ）をいただくことができました…！最高の1日です！😭✨
🇬🇧 Just a quick time lapse of the inking process for this manga page.
🇯🇵 今回の漫画ページのペン入れタイムラプスです！

🇬🇧 Digital is convenient, but traditional art just has so much more soul.
🇯🇵 デジタルも便利だけど、やっぱりアナログは魂が宿る感じがして好きです。

🇬🇧Five nights in a row. Let’s finish this!
🇯🇵5夜連続。さあ、最後まで駆け抜けるぞ！🔥
These days I've made some major investment in Art Materials. I got new papers, markers, brushes, pens and pencils, and I still want to use my watercolors more!
Yet I still have a lot of digital work to do!
Life is not easy...
Another week starts, and another day I ask myself if I should take a leap of faith and bet everything on my art… except I have a kid and I can’t play with the finances 🫠
I wonder what the best strategy is to do the career switch. I’m done with programming. I like the income but I hate my days. I’m gonna burnout hard if I continue like this
Not saying that I Trust X (Twitter) to be a secure place. But I find it kind of funny/ironic how my posts on mastodon are constantly being scrapped and fed into AI models while my posts on X seem to be secured from that.
No information in my X posts is found in Gemini or Grok. Yet everything I said here in mastodon seems to be available there 🤔🤔

@aelspire@aelspire.info I am aware which is why making this decision is a lot harder.
I actually changed jobs a month ago to a better paying one, hoping to get a fresh view of the industry but everywhere is the same. I’m tired of that.
So I’ll have to find a way to make it work. It will definitely have to be tied to both sales and patronage as it’s the only viable way for artists this days.

@feff@comicscamp.club @feff@sakurajima.social I once moved from mastodon.art to my current server and I kinda lost half of my followers. The migration “feature” of mastodon is just not quite there yet it seems 🤷

@davidrevoy I really wish I could follow your steps. My current hardware is a limitation.
I’ll stick to X11 for as long as Wayland misbehaves with Nvidia GPUs or I can afford a new laptop without Nvidia gpu 🤷

@lety@doesstuff.social I just realized I replied to a 2yo post… o well. The complain remains I suppose
Im starting to think I hate fridays more than Monday’s.

@lety@doesstuff.social If anything we should be reporting the existence of those pasties in that photo 😤
