    as someone who’s actually trying to start my own comic, these kind of videos are always so helpful. i think the only reason i have the amount of skills with digital art is because of all your videos. thank you for making my art processes easier

    I don’t judge RUclipsrs for doing sponsorships for money, but you can really tell the difference between a sponsorship someone really cares about versus one they’re just doing for that. I kind of want to try Milanote now; it seems like a fantastic way for me to organize my ideas.

    The bit about knowing how to simplify outfits for smol cuts is so relevant, and hardly anyone talks about it! I only discovered how badly my character needed redesigning once I realized how complicated their chibis were becoming in comic panels. Unfortunately, the genre I'm sketching characters for (scifi) really does need details like belts to look right, so my compromise is using an outline tool just to get parallel lines that resemble belts or cyber lines

    Seeing the old design compared to the new, I was wondering if there was a specific reason why the skin tone, which was a very striking unrealistic grey, was changed to a more natural pale one, because the grey skin was a very striking and integral part of the old design. And also, if the rest of the cast will undergo similar changes.😊

    up to what i know this is a monster x monster hunter type of story, so since the monster's job is to be a paramedic, then i imagine that their dynamic is "you don't scare me, you would not survive my job, killing what you hate is easy, try failing to save what you love". And in the end the monster hunter fails to save her monster gf, so it is kinda poetic

Even for book descriptions, having a character sheet on hand is really helpful to me personal and I have been really neglecting them, oops.

Seeing how much you’ve improved over the years is incredible, every video your art is just getting better and better.
