New art, and convention announcement! Come see me and get art of the babygirl at ECCE in Moncton, New Brunswick June 9 & 10!

[genericpuff]

oof.

ECCE sucked ass and I could go on and on about it but instead have this pic of my setup which was the one thing that I'm pretty dang proud of.

also literally everyone who recognized my LO art either read LO and hated it or didn't read LO but heard the horror stories

so if you're either of these people I talked to this past weekend, welcome to my shitposting blog where I talk way too much about a webtoon with way too much fame, buckle up (￣y▽,￣)╭

also yeah i'm not doing ECCE again jesus christ it was bad, like i've only done two conventions as an artist alley vendor so far and even i know this isn't how conventions are supposed to go

i made $55 over two days which isn't even half of what i spent for the table, and not a single print sold, just my $3-$5 omori stickers and a few zines that people generously tipped for

not me being a salty spitoon or anything, i'm not mad at the fact that people didn't buy my stuff, i'm mad that the organization of this event was so subpar it wasn't until halfway through it that i realized the red flags were on the wall because they had done ZERO marketing for the artist alley and the convention itself had nothing going on but a few panels

and two of the panels were literally the same thing, one was "how to be a comic artist" and the other was "how to be an indie comic artist" like i'm sorry whAT those are the saME-

sigh I'm so mad that my Rekindled update got pushed off for this. ECCE is absolutely on my "don't bother" shitlist now, esp considering other artists who've done it before have attested to the fact that this was par for the course. Absolutely not worth it, not even for someone like me living on the bottom wrung of the webcomic industry LMAO I feel so bad for all the other artists I saw sitting around with nothing to do two days in a row, it's 10x more exhausting to sit around with nothing to do and it really showed by the end of the weekend because every artist who I checked up on said they just wanted to go home, for all the reasons you shouldn't be hearing at a comic convention.

I've got Art on the Bridge tomorrow. I'm suddenly way more optimistic that this one will go well despite it not being my usual kind of scene at all.

Genuinely so sorry to you all there wasn't a Rekindled episode tonight. The expo wasn't worth it.

LORE | REKINDLED EPISODE 19 - LITTLE FIB

<<< Previous episode | Next episode >>>

I had way too much fun with the expressions in this panel LMAO Pardon the goofiness but I just love the thought of Artemis being this overprotective big sister for Kore. She's got a lot riding on her shoulders as we'll soon find out ;3

Quick heads up - I will be at the East Coast Comic Expo next weekend from June 9th-10th! I will be doing my best to ensure that there aren't any interruptions in next weekend's episode release, thankfully this one's a lot closer than the last one so it won't require as much time away from my workstation. If you're in the Moncton area or are planning on being at the convention, come find me at the PROJECT : REAPER table! Otherwise you can find my snapshots of the event over on my Instagram!

Thank you for reading! Come visit us in our Discord! Or watch me draw the next episode on Twitch!
