Go to zudacomics-dot-com. Right now. Well, not right now; finish reading this part, then go. But soon. The poop:
A few months ago I posted a Zuda submission called Weird Romance here on dA. It was just accepted last week to run in this month's competition, although I had to change the title on account of Eclipse comics having published one issue of a book called Weird Romance in 1988. The new title is Queer Romance. If you liked the comic, I'll ask that you pop over to Zuda, check out the competition, and consider voting for QR and giving it a nice, high rating. Then pass the word along.
Other Stuffs:
While I'd be a liar if I said I didn't get a little bit of a kick out of being able to tell people that I have no art education, it isn't making me a better artist. So, this fall I'll be attending my first year of art school. Goodbye, bragging rights. Hello, growth.

Colour Tutorial, part 1.5
A couple people have asked, so here's the extremely cursory version of how I get "dots" using GIMP. I'll write this up better when school's out, kids.
The way I do it involves creating two palettes, one with the 64 R/B/Y colours as their perfect RGB equivalents (“R” = 100% magenta = blue 255, green 0, red 255; R2B = 25% magenta, 100% cyan = red 191, green 0, blue 255; etc.), and one with my custom colours (which I've generated using the same process as in the first tutorial) -- both palettes must have all the colours in the same order! When I've finished colouring an image using my custom palette, I copy the colour layer to a new f
Colouring Tutorial, part one
Well, I finally took a crack at writing that tutorial I've been talking about for months. The one about colouring in an old-comics style, I mean. Over at my blarg, I've posted the first of what I'm hoping will only be two parts. It doesn't get into halftones at all, so if all you care about is the dots, prepare to be disappointed.

Nightly Nonconformance!
(see: Daily Deviation)
Woohoo! An honour, an accolade, a celebration of my stupendousness and unassailable superlativity! Thanks to everyone who came and looked around, double thanks for the all the favourites, and a third helping of thanks to those of you who took the time to comment. I try and stop by peoples' pages as I'm deleting the feedback notifications, but I got flooded from this, so no guarantees.
A special flavour of thanks go to y2jenn (https://www.deviantart.com/y2jenn) for the feature. And thanks to the deviantART staff for the site, which really is great, even though I never hesitate to bitch when it irks me.
I've recently revived the blog I tried to star
Dear deviantART,
Show the fullview image as wide as I set it to. I don't give a flying fuck if it breaks your page style and requires a horizontal scrollbar. Christ.
Sincerely,
Grumpy McGrump
