#Mixam

[papier-ciseaux]

I made a comic in 24 hours! I was encouraged by @lyricpersonarts and @kkmcshouty to do it :D

The result is under the readmore, and its the start of the situationship between Ozone and Mixam, which are OC inspired by the webcomic gloomverse by Crayon Queen

If you didnt understand what was going on or why either of them would do that, the gist is that Ozone is too sure of himself to think a meeting may be a trap or a sting operation, and Mixam does not want his drug dealer to be caught by the police and rat him out. Since he can't leave on his own while injured, Mixam has to keep him home until he can. And maybe something will happen in the meantime.

hey so i’m really wanting to make a book/field guide of my art and i was wondering what your process is from creating an art piece all the way to getting a zine-style physical copy of your work? i was inspired by your zines so i thought i’d ask you about it. what websites do you use? how do you like,,, talk to a business to get stuff from the digital illustration into a (relatively small) book?

also this is a personal project to fuel my hyperfixation so i’m not looking to like,,, produce in bulk or anything lol.

thanks :)

for my larger-quantity zines I used mixam.com! they're a print company that specializes in booklets and catalogs, and everything on the production side can be dealt with online. I've had very good experiences with their customer service (I was put through to a real person on their chat function almost instantly when i needed an answer to a more in-depth question) and their prices are really good imo, especially for bigger quantities! They also have pretty high customization options--you can choose the weight and type of your paper, multiple types of binding, etc.

if you go that route, though, all of the graphic design and layout is on you. I'd recommend getting indesign or a similar program to help you lay out your booklet, so you can keep all your pages in one easily-accessible, editable file. (and remember that in order to be printed as a booklet your page count MUST be a multiple of 4!) mixam (or whatever printer you use) will usually give you a template that lets you know exactly how much bleed and gutter space you're working with, and you can then input those numbers into indesign. (If you do this, make sure you export your final pdf WITHOUT CROP MARKS, because your printer will add their own crop marks later on.) once you've arranged your booklet the way you like in indesign, export it as a pdf (in single pages, not spreads, and make sure your pages are in sequential order rather than optimized for booklet printing; it's on your printer to do that step for you!) and upload that pdf to your printer. Mixam gives you a few days to check over your work and either confirm it's correct or cancel the order, and then once you've confirmed it goes into production. more pages and more complex printing will be more expensive, but i've had nothing but good experiences buying from mixam and if i ever selfpub again i'm definitely going to be using them!

IDK why curiosity hit me in the head just now, and idk why I waited so long to ask this but in the zine, what's up with "deal with the devil" mostly being crossed out on Faust's page?

Manufacturer error, perhaps. 😂

Utena Zine update

I'm terribly sorry for the delays in productions but they are currently being printed!! I had to go back and forth with the manu (who also reply like, once every 48 hours... i digress) but once they come in I'm shipping them immediately !

I've been slightly stuck with the zine project for a bit

like I got the layout and stuff *done* as far as I can tell. it looks good on the computer, works as intended when printed out normally... but I'm hitting two mental blocks right now

the first is just like, the content itself. it feels weird publishing and presumably selling an advertisement for like, a pirate anime broadcast lol. part of me is paranoid I could get in trouble for that somehow, though idk who would be looking. and also I'm gonna be publishing this from within the cleo watkins persona, which is sort of awkward to let slip into the real world, and makes it something I wouldn't necessarily want to include in a portfolio, which is half the point of this whole exercise (although there's also a bunch of mildly dirty jokes in the word games anyway)

the other thing is that printing is gonna be a hassle. the local kinko's print shop doesn't do full bleed printing, and print shops that *do* tend to predictably charge a lot more, or I gotta like actually get on the phone with people to get quotes, or both. I also only need the full edge to edge print on the cover spread, so it seems like something I really should try to get a deal on, but it'll be a hassle going around getting quotes. and handing the material over is kind of embarrassing for previously described reasons

[arinmoss]

At people who do art prints, are there any sites u recommend? I've been looking at mixam but idk.

I know some people go local but I'm also unsure of how to find a local place that will do art prints, plus there aren't any that close by.

favorite mixamals

well first of all if you know me well you’d obviously know that I adore anything crocodilian in nature, so of course I’m a big fan of this guy:

I also found this baboon sorta critter really neat (personally I like to call them “Graboons” due to the extendable arms)

There’s also the Mixaplotapusses, a personal favourite of a good friend of mine and the only confirmed Mixamal species to have sexual dimorphism. Personally I imagine the ones with those big multi-eyed stalks to be the Males and the ones with just 2 eyes to be the Females.

And finally there’s my 2 favourite Mixeloptors, which I refer to as the Bicephalis and the Tyranther respectively:

And those are a brief list of my favourite Mixamals, hope you enjoyed!

A new OC appears! Meet Mixam, an Inversian of high status who enjoys getting his hands on illegal imported goods (like candy)

[denniswilsonzine]

Finally did the kinda scary thing of actually bulk ordering zines from mixam

*fingers (& toes) crossed*

Boxes of zine should arrive Thursday - my zine's about to become a 'real' physical thing people can buy/trade from me *excited*

(Had last second 'qr code on one of the extra pages near the end of the mag I added after getting the test print done is too close to the margin' panic and frantic editing & reuploading - fortunately just had to replace one page not reup a whole document - just before ordering/paying.)

Dude I just finished your Mable series and it was perfect. everything I look for in a fic. Great story line, AMAZING OC and even better ending.

Lucky is the best anti hero I’ve read in a while. The fact that they are funny, impulsive with a heart of gold. That is like the best traits for anti hero’s and when lucky didn’t get Mable I was like “I guess. Hero’s don’t always get the girl” but then I saw the next chapter I was hella hyped.

Hello new friend! I’m so glad you enjoyed the story! It was so much fun to write, an absolute pleasure knowing that new people are still finding the story and loving the way it’s written. Thank you for all the kind words🫶

Also your username is so cleaver.
