Hey personages. I like and/or tolerate Tumblr culture as much as the next person, but we’ve got to talk about the habit of putting comments in the tags.
Everyone’s pointed out that reblogs are essential to artists and writers on tumblr because it’s the only way to get eyes on our work, but this goes beyond that.
I’ve been on this site for longer than I care to admit, but as an oldie and one who doesn’t like to have a lot of plugins running, I never had XKIT, so it is only now that I’ve had the ability to check tag updates on my posts.
And for years, I’ve felt like I was screaming into the void, my work apparently making very little impression, because people were posting all kinds of nice, encouraging comments… where I could not see them.
I had no idea people were saying things like this:
These kind, encouraging comments are all from the tags of one of my DynoGuard Art Roundup Posts. DynoGuard is a concept I’m trying to bring to series.
If the artist isn’t able to easily find this kind of feedback, then what hope does an almost certainly less technically savvy producer have?“I would watch/buy/play this” is the kind of comment that can help move the needle on a creator getting opportunities.
I’m not calling out people for doing tumblr the way tumblr is done. It’s just that the system isn’t working. As such, updates to that system are needed.
TL:DR Please, if it’s art, if it’s writing, put the feedback in the reblog comments.
And with that, today is October 31st, the final day of Lost Light Fest 2018! Here’s all the characters I did for this year, along with a couple oldie (but goodie!) Lost Light/MTMtE related pics from years past just to wrap this all up and go out with a bang! :D Enjoy! :D
Reblogging in honour of the release of the final issue of Lost Light today.
some dudes like to talk a big game about how comedy suffers when people are afraid to offend but man, Mitch Hedberg was a white dude working in the era of peak offensive edgelord and his shit holds the fuck up so while most comedians will never come up with anything as timeless as “if carrots got you drunk, rabbits would be fucked up” they could at least make an effort
Every McDonald’s commercial ends the same way, right? “Prices and participation may vary.” I wanna open a McDonald’s and not participate in anything. I wanna be a stubborn McDonald’s owner. I’ll say “Cheeseburgers? Nope. We got spaghetti! And blankets! We are not affiliated with that clown.”
Every book is a children’s book if the kid can read.
I would like to have a product that was available for three easy payments and one fuckin’ complicated payment. We can’t tell you which payment it is, but one of these payments is gonna be a bitch! The mailman will get shot to death, the envelope will not seal, and the stamp will be in the wrong denomination! Good luck, fucker! That last payment must be made in wampum!
Hey, if you wanna talk to me after the show, I’ll be… fuckin’ surprised.
This shirt is “dry-clean only”… Which means it’s dirty.
One time, this guy handed me a picture of him, he said “Here’s a picture of me when I was younger.” Every picture is of you when you were younger. “Here’s a picture of me when I’m older.” “You son-of-a-bitch! How’d you pull that off? Lemme see that camera… What’s it look like? ”
An escalator can never break, it can only become stairs. You would never see an “Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order” sign, just “Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.
I play golf. I’m not good at golf, I never got good. I never got a hole-in-one. But I did hit a guy. And that’s way more satisfying. You’re supposed to yell “Fore!” but I was too busying mumbling “There ain’t no way that’s gonna hit him.”
When you’re in Hollywood and you’re a comedian, everybody wants you to do other things besides comedy. They say “All right you’re a stand up comedian, can you act? Can you write? Write us a script.” They want me to do things that’s related to comedy, but it’s not comedy. That’s not fair. It’s as though if I was a cook, and I worked my ass off to become a good cook, and they said “All right you’re a cook… can you farm?”
- “Rice is great when you’re you’re hungry and you want 10,000 of something”
- “Tennis is depressing because no matter how good you get, you will never be as good as a wall”
- “I order the club sandwich all the time, but I’m not even a member, man. I don’t know how I get away with it”
Tag your race and class! I’m real curious to see who everyone here plays
A while back a friend recommended a manga series Dungeon Meshi (Delicious in Dungeon in the US) and thanks to some very kind people I received the first four volumes of the series as birthday gifts.
I had meant to read it when recommended, but shortly after it got licensed and I had to wait till I could nab copies.
I love this manga!
It is a wonderful mix of classic fantasy adventure, comedy, and cooking show. The cast are great, and the art is wonderful - I often find myself wanting to eat the foods prepared in the pages…
I wanted to draw Marcille, the hapless Elf who is often horrified to think of eating monsters, though she is also often surprised at how good the finished meals are. In the back you can see Senshi, the Dwarf and guide/chef of the group. He is probably my favorite character, though Marcille is a close second…
I highly recommend checking it out!
Also, I had alot of fun doing some greyscale stuff with this pic.
