solid-butts replied to your post: maybe i’m having such a hard time finishing pages…

take a break and sketch everything you think you’re bad at

I’m really leaning towards taking a nice break from Fritz. Though, part of me is afraid that if I do take a break, I’ll never want…

I wanted to say this back there where you were talking about uncertainty about using a cartoony style, but I forgot, so here it is now. Look at all the other awesome fuckin’ things out there that weren’t done in a super-serious style, or a wannabe animu style of one kind or another, and so on, and so on. Drawing cartoony doesn’t mean you’re a crap artist- hell, look at Calvin and Hobbes. It’s just a different way of getting things done. I honestly find it a nice change of pace from most stuff.

No clear guesses here, but I’m pretty sure that when John said “fuck me”, it wasn’t a badly timed proposition.

I was inspired to do another of these “tf2 fanfiction book covers” by my sister griping that she’s read dozens of Scout fanfics with the exact same plot- i.e. Scout is saved in battle by Sniper, falls in love with Sniper, evil Spy wants to molest Scout.

That’s my favourite author.

I’ve been doodling dorky looking Snipers all day, for an undisclosed reason…. I do love his funny horse face.  

Pissy Sniper is the best Sniper.

AS GOD AS MY WITNESS AND TUMBLR I WILL READ YANG’S SISTER’S FAN FICTION BEFORE I SEE HER NEXT WEEK! 

Waugh, I just read the comic you loaned us, and I’m finally gonna buckle down and read Fritz, honest! I just suck at starting things, I’m one of those people who’s always scared to check out something they’ve never seen before.  D:

My sister was looking for pictures of sand cats, and discovered photographic evidence of the chupacabra on a stock photo site.

It’s for real.

My computer turned into bullshit, so after running the gamut of tests, scans, checks, and more tests, I had to buckle down and beg for a new hard drive. I hate being right sometimes. /sob

Now to finish installing all my games and get back to writing.

I’m getting too defensive. I need to chill out.

It’s hard to remain objective when you’re the beta reader.

Edit: Well, at least it looks like it’s working itself out. I was concerned for a bit. I know it’s not my story, but dammit, I preened and pampered that thing! Some people are so impatient to see how pieces fit together.

I’m glad I didn’t step in and say anything harsh. I may still say something later, but it looks like the tide has calmed for now.

Eh, even on things that come down to personal taste or opinion, it’s still interesting getting some honest criticism. The poster didn’t say “boooh, your story sucks, stop writing!!!”, and didn’t (I think) unfairly criticize the story. It’s not as simple as someone looking at a picture and saying “His hand is on backwards”, mind you- it comes too late for me to strongly consider it in last part of a story that’s stretched on for over a hundred written pages- but such is life.

i told myself I’d draw comics today.  So I drew this for chronic-melancholic in her Tiny chat.  

its about true teen girl love. 

They have a secret love that nobody could understand.

The thought of a teenage girl with sideburns scares me. Now that I think about it, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen teenage girls with sideburns before.

helpmemorejesus:

I must have submitted this by text a million times to the sniper/spy blog I follow, but tumblr ate it every time and they never got it, so here’s another shot. When I wrote this story last fall, my intent was to write some good old-fashioned PWP with Engineer and Sniper….

 Knightsplendid:

F-fuck, this is from that Trucks’n’Vans fic that made me cry because I felt sorry for the Spy…Nngggod, this is one of the hottest things since ever, mffff…

Hehe, glad you like! Even though he’s the closest thing the story has to a villain, I did feel kinda sorry for him as I wrote it, since there isn’t really a happy ending for him. The relationship between him and the Sniper from that story is kind of continued on in the one I’ve been doing over the past few months.
