oh no disagreement here whatsoever

dude your sketches are beautiful. i'd love mine to look as clean as yours someday

@ascalaphid.comOct 12, 2026, 12:43 AM

I honestly don't mind when people compare my stuff to other stuff but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna have a little fun with it

And the final score is: comparisons to Constance (Redwall) and Sgt Detritus (Discworld) are exactly neck and neck at 4 each, with Anor Londo archers coming in with the bronze at 2. If we factor in the tumblr notes though Constance wins in a landslide

thanks! i don't do comic often but I've read enough of them that certain paneling tricks stuck in my head and can be shook loose when i do try

intimidation factor is important

@ascalaphid.comOct 11, 2026, 11:07 AM

it's not a register i normally find myself drawn to but sometimes you wake up with the urge to depict a character wielding an unreasonably large weapon

@ascalaphid.comOct 11, 2026, 10:58 AM

Aw! that's real sweet, thank you

@ascalaphid.comOct 11, 2026, 12:30 AM

probably mostly for the intimidation factor but you never know if a raider party has a rhino or whatever on deck

yeah it can be fun and interesting to figure out how to achieve certain tones but sometimes you just want to have a big pan of premixed color to save you the headache

@ascalaphid.comOct 10, 2026, 9:05 PM

as a quick plug I gotta say one thing I've been regularly frustrated with is mixing up skin tones for the critters' hands and noses and tails but @lycomorpha.bsky.social's Wolf's Milk kind of nails it www.etsy.com/listing/4452...
