Heh, “artist.”

Why is this is n shitpost? Go crosspost this to /comics or /memes or whatever, it’s great.

I believe this is about making as much of the election go through the corrupt court system as possible. They want this election decided by judges.

It’s the same cartoonist who did the absolutely iconic comic of the guy who wins third but still pops champagne and kisses the girl and all that. I recognize the style. Don’t know the artist tho.

No, I’m not a fan of those, actually. The brush fibers are way too limp, so I feel like I have no control like I’m drawing with a wet noodle.

EDIT: Actually, I’m not sure. I thought you were talking about one of these, which are just terrible.

Here’s what I used (tried to get detail of the brush fibers and name). I get them from a local art store. Maybe they are a cheap knock off of a Pentel or something, I can’t find them online.

The brush fibers are really stiff and nice, but the ink quality is not great, so I will probably move on, honestly. I’d love to know if you have any experience/opinions about any of them.

Look at people still arguing about this niggling little detail.

The RW propaganda machine is powerful af.

Most of he modern internet is super commercial and seems to just gobble up everything that gets near it so I make an effort to keep my real, tangible, life in interactive, “meat space,” as much as possible.

That said, I didn’t know about Pixelfed. Also, I guess I didn’t consider people far away actually wanting to see what I’m doing lol. I appreciate the suggestion. If I start an account, I can DM you if you’d like. The Fediverse is just so fantastic and may make the Net fun to use again, I love it.

Thank you! The focus for me was line variation, rhythm, and composition, so I appreciate your comment.

Therapy session. But only because everyone should regularly consult a mental health specialists.

Thank you!

I just developed it over the past few weeks so that’s actually really nice to hear because I’ve been skeptical about how it will be received.

No, if Trump loses, the Republicans will contest the election, which will end up in front of the Supreme Court, who will rule in favor of the Orange Nutsack. Tadaaaaaaa!

Maybe, but I zoomed in and took a close look before I posted.

Digital paper texture is just “noise” so tends to look a certain kind of way and I don’t see evidence of that here.

The other thing is how the ink bleeds into the paper. When I zoom in, it looks to me like real ink bleeding into fibers.

All that said, I could still be wrong, it’s actually really hard to tell (the crayon looks sus). But I still think it’s real paper.

Unfortunately we’ll probably never actually know :(

I think this is ironically drawn on paper w felt tip and crayon. Nice touch. Great drawing, too.

So I guess past experience, basically? We’ll see. Political violence is not justifiable but no one really likes that orange prick except his little goon army so we’ll see how long the sympathy lasts.

I’m in the US but I don’t necessarily see any proof of this. I’m not sure where this narrative is coming from, it’s very strange.

Oh yeah? It’s great for porn, Goldman Sachs, you bunch of suit wearing degenerates. I bet a lot of people would argue that’s pretty freaking useful.

This is the Comics, uh, sub(?), so it’s cool if I nerd out, right?

This artist did a great job w contrast and has some nice psuedo cross-hatching work happening and pretty clearly did their own lettering, which is always welcome.

But, like, you can also pretty clearly tell this was done on, I’m guessing an iPad, but definitely a digital tool.

I would love to see this artist work with ink. I believe they would make very different decisions about line placement and I’d be interested to see what they come up with.

Anyways, as is it’s fantastic.

These are adorable.

It’s acrylic and 175 x 282 cm, or about 6’ x 9’.

Amazing vibrant colors and deep blacks, just gorgeous. I wonder if it’s that explosive in person?

Thanks for sharing.

Man, look at the line work in those original comic panels then compare them to pretty much any modern comic (book or gag), where almost all line work gets filtered through Apple or Adobe Corps. Real shame.

EDIT: I didn’t mean to shame digital artists. Digital artists are amazing pioneers doing things artists fifty years ago could only dream of.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about our modern idea of illustrative brush strokes being filtered through those two corporation’s algorithms, how those algorithms were originally intended to imitate the real thing, and how artists actually use them in practice. That’s what I was eluding to really poorly.

My bad for sounding like a rude dick.
