Been loving the Space Bug model @selaaaaaa.bsky.social made for me. So easy to set up slightly complicated poses for the little menace without them going all looney toons and/or taking three hours of sketching to get looking right. Absolutely a life saver for a four-armed character.

A drawing of Space Bug, a moth-like alien bug with four arms, holding four energy pistols in a threatening stance.
Transcript follows.
Space Bug: Anthropods! Vertebrates! other slimy species! This is a robbery!
Space Bug: No one more or Space Bug shoot!
Off-screen voice: Ugghhh...
Space Bug: Addendum! Those already shot writhe in pain at their own peril.

"But the handicapped need cars!" No, what they need are options in mobility. The tech exists to enable their freedom of independent mobility, but almost always what is lacking is the enabling infrastructure. Bike lanes and quality sidewalks serve everyone.

Still one of my favorite bits of writing for Space Bug (by @astralfrontier.org).

Transcription:
“It would have been wrong,” Adam says wearily.

Space Bug tilts their head and does their equivalent of blinking at Adam for a few seconds. “Explain wrong.”

“Wrong is…” Adam sits up and frowns. “You have to know right and wrong.”

Space Bug ticks off items on extended digits. “Right is: achieving financial stability. Obtaining shiny and valuable loot, treasure, windfall, plunder, swag. Outwitting superior opposition. Destroying inferior enemies. Wrong is: failing. Being captured. Looking foolish, awkward, incompetent. Yes. I know these things.”

Adam struggles. “What about… making people happy?”

Space Bug blinks again. “I happy. I have ship, you are not currently enemy, we are not being hunted. Well, my imminent captaincy makes us enemies, but you are a coward anyway so that will be fine.”

“What if… what if someone was trying to make you unhappy?” Adam suggests. “What if they were trying to hurt you, and you couldn’t do anything about it? What if someone intervened - and protected you? Made sure you felt safe and comfortable, instead of hunted and unwanted? Wouldn’t that be good?”

Space Bug shakes their head rapidly. “Nobody do that for me, Adam Amari. Nobody.”

NEW ADVICE-FROM-LIEBER LIST! I've posted these tips as a thread before, but I figured it's about time I made it available as a single, shareable image.

MISTAKES I'VE MADE THAT YOU CAN AVOID
Don't be like me.
1. Don't trash your own work when complemented. In that context your self-deprecation is insulting someone else's taste! Just say thanks and change the subject. Maybe credit an influence?
2. As far as your readers are concerned, comics are drawn with a printing press or a monitor. Don't fetishize the original art or the tools you make it. Anything that gets the story told the way it needs to be told is the right tool for the job.
3. Don't use one job to audition for another. It's unfair to your collaborators and a betrayal of the reader to get flashy or sexy or explosive if the moment in the story doesn't call for it.
4. The important storytelling choices on a page can be worked out in thumbnails. Gesture, camera angle, framing, broad arrangement of tones-get this stuff right before you worry about anatomy, lighting, drapery, or facial expressions.
5. Some artists can put down a final inkline with no underdrawing, but that's because they're skilled and experienced enough to do all that underdrawing in their head. You probably aren't. Get your underdrawing right and save the masterstrokes for the masters.
6. What you're feeling while you work doesn't matter. What the audience feels when they read it does. You can be happy and still do a great drawing of someone in agony. You should understand what you're depicting. It's not necessary to experience it in real time at the board.
7. Get a fresh eye on your work. You never know when some accidental juxtaposition is going to completely change your intended meaning.
8. Don't let getting things 100% right keep you from getting things done. It's easy to get bogged down in research or prep sketches. Make a schedule at the start of a project so you know how much time you have. Do the best you can with the time allotted and move on. But...

Influences, streamers and content creators! I'd love to make you a free hat! My name is Sara Winters and I run @wheremyhatisat.bsky.social - I do custom embroidery, especially nerdy stuff. I'm a gamer and MTG player and blind, and make custom hats, + would love to trade some product for visibility.

A photo of four embroidered hats, the top one is yellow and says "Thall's Balls Sports Complex" in black. The next one down is a Sharlayan Studium hat of lavender text on a navy hat. Next down is an interpretive version of Kefka from FF6 with the text "u mad"? Finally, at the bottom, in lavender, is Brave Little Pogchamp in the Eorzean language on a hat.

A blue hat embroidered with "Really? Right in front of my" followed by images of two blue mana symbols from MTG.

A black hat with embroidery. There is an orange kitten holding a hand of trading cards with white text that reads "I scoop at instant speed"

I'm going to say this bluntly, you can't get into webcomics for the purpose of making lots of money or getting a huge audience quickly. That takes time, skill, networking, and luck, if it happens at all. Webtoons can't guarantee shit. The one thing you CAN control is your own website.
