Hey Sunny! Sorry if you've already answered this before, but I was wondering if you take commissions? <3

hi! thank u for your interest but I usually don't take commissions anymore, I'm way overworked a lot of the time and I don't know how to organize myself better 😅 and when I have free time I just draw for myself

Okay, I'm very curious. What is chiscara? What fandom is this from?

it's the ship of Childe and Scaramouche from the game Genshin Impact, there's no canon ships in the game (tho some are a bit more pushed by it lol) so it's largely for fun and based on fan interpretation

they worked for the enemy organization in the game so they're both main antagonists to the mc (in some parts of the story anyway)

they would be like.. coworkers that don't get along much/kinda mess with each other 💀

silly question: but will u ever go to any convention in Spain? I'd love to see you and maybe get some of ur merch if u do

ohh I really only ever go to dokomi at the moment, sorry! ;v; I'd love to meet everyone too but going to conventions from Italy is very inconveniencing in terms of travel logistics and planning in general, one time I went to DCC as well but like.. it was a lot

hiiii I love ur incubus scara comic so much and was wondering if it'd be possible for the panel of scara looking up from the chair to be turned into some kind of mini print or sticker ?? me and my friend would love to get one at dokomi 😭🫶 completely understand if that's not possible tho considering it's from a comic

thank you so much, had fun drawing it! 🙈

I'm not sure if it's suitable to be turned into either but I might have some other pics of him as sticker! (I usually don't bring stickers to dokomi tho but I'll see if I can bring some this year)

VR/college AU part 26!

waking up and a confrontation

first | part 25 | to be continued | preorders are up!

Hi sunny!

I just placed an order in your shop and bought 2 of your printed comic 🥳 I am aware those are pre-orders and you need time to calculate and let them get printed etc. So they take a while as you already told on your website. Buuut i wanted to ask you for a favor.

I know you will be at dokomi this summer. And i wanted to ask if you are willing to sign the comics if they arrive in time and i bring them with me? 👉🏼👈🏼☺️

hello! if you're the one that ordered from France earlier, I can sign the comics before sending them to you if you want so you don't have to carry them around at the con! 👍 (since they're pretty heavy lmao oh also for the same reason I probably won't have any copies there, just my other zines)

thank you for your order and u can still come say hi at dokomi either way! 💛

[ikimaru]

sunny, sunny! what time on the 30th april do your preorders closer? I literally get paid on that day and don't wanna miss out 😭😭

hi! you can still get it afterwards, I will have some extras, I will just be using the number of orders before the 30th to decide how many to order because I need to place it before the end of the month ;v;

but yes there will be some extras, I just don't know how many unless I find more place where to storage them aksjd

[ikimaru]

how do you make your physical comic books? i want to start making my own but i have no idea where to start

just google for online print places (in your country's language bc they exist locally too and that might save u in shipping costs) so you can compare costs and info and when you find something you like you just download their template and follow the instructions for how they want the files to be sent/which format they want!

the main two formats are stapled comics and perfect bound, stapled can work if you have fewer pages like.. under 40-50, I never used it personally, perfect bound are held together with glue and it's more like a small book with a spine and everything

usually you'll need to make 2 PDFs, one for the cover and one for the pages in cymk 300dpi, there are also usually multiple choices for paper and paper weight, you can talk with the store support for clarifications or paper samples

it's better to decide on the print place in advance so you can make the pages in the required format from the get go instead of having to resize everything later!

and if you want you can order a proof copy first but it tends to be pretty expensive on small scale orders/some places have a minimum order amount so it can be tricky, but there's places that will send the proof copy for free if you order over a certain amount too (also I'm sticking with the same print place lately but I tried out like.. other 4 prior lol)

good luck! c:

What ya doin' rn?

just organizing things and wishing I got more than 4 hours of sleep lmao

what are yall up to

[ikimaru]

Hi Sunny! First of all, I absolutely love your work, especially your Voltron comics. (Also your Homestuck art is amazing!) I had a question regarding the Vr AU comic. Will the full version be available for purchase as just a PDF? I'm in the United States and would love to support you and have a copy of the comic, but the shipping costs are a bit higher than I expected. Thank you for posting incredible work!

hello! thank you so much! 💕

I'll make the PDF on its own available probably once I'm done sending out the printed copies!

and yeah it's a heavy zine, probably over 1 pound including the packaging and everything (this isn't aimed at u, just thinking about mail services, the irony is the shipping cost for something this heavy from Italy to the US is how much usps charges to have 1 single keychain shipped from the US to Europe lool and like 3 times as high if it was 1 zine)
