Was going thru my Letterboxd n double-checking to see what, if anything, was on Tubi. Got to Van Helsing and when I searched, uh, this was one of the results?

An astronaut movie? An animated astronaut movie? Named after the guy from Dracula?

The description only raises more questions: "In the aftermath of Earth’s nuclear destruction, scientist Jack Van Helsing joins forces with a team of astronaut survivors to colonize the moon."

Like okay, whatever. Sounds like a relatively normal sci-fi plot I guess. But like, why is his name Van Helsing? Are there vampires in this movie? Do they like, live on the Moon? Who decided to make a movie about Van Helsing in space? I am currently debating whether to look up a full synopsis or to watch this blind.

happy four year birthday to the child I regret the most fondly.

To celebrate I will be driving my follower count down by reblogging my own art. this is an exercise to cull the weak, so the strong may escape it by either surviving naturally or blocking (#bday booster shot)

as someone who doesnt actually read comic books but adores this blog and bad-comic-art, the male shadow crotch phenomenon really fascinates me. these characters are drawn with the most skintight costumes imaginable to highlight all of their muscles and abs and Masculinity™️in a way thats basically sexual already but theyre scared of a little bit of dick lmfao.

drawing dick is for the gays and Brother I'm

how do you edit comics so good? how did you practice/any tips or advice? i want to edit comic art but i have no clue how to start

I'm between calls so this going to be rushed Whoops.

- start on pieces that have a similar style to your own. this just makes getting your brush settings right easier.

- fuck with your brush settings. Jpeg artifacting and the way older comics were scanned and printed adds a lot of Texture Jank that you need to match to make the edit seamless.

- touch as little of the piece as physically possible. Your hands and the ogs have different muscle memory and will make different decisions on how a line should lay. so, make as few changes as you can and feather the edited areas out (this also helps with hiding the texture jank not lining up perfectly)

and this one's important:

- Focus On Pieces That Fuck Up The Way You Tend To. Yes pointing and laughing is fun, being a pedant is one of life's joys. But critique of other art is fundamentally about self improvement. You don't critique a finished piece to improve It you critique to teach your brain how to not make those same mistakes and to see them in your own work. if other people benefit from seeing your process then that's just a bonus.

I started almost exclusively working on pretty ladies bc I'm a gay man and like drawing big hairy men and so had an Extreme Lack of ability when it came to drawing women pretty. (I can draw women pretty now)

- Once you're comfortable move on to other styles, trace the images, make your brushes match the lines in front of you line for line, use fewer layers. and just Learn how to match another person's hand. This plasticity is extremely useful bc it can make you more comfortable exploring new styles and the transitions between them in your own work fun and seamless.
