If anyone has any sources that can help me figure out how to create polished assets for print books I would love you forever. I can make things well enough in Illustrator and clip studio, but I am....just terrible at figuring out how to make the same assets different sizes without changing the scale

Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital
Caravaggio's Baccus painting, featuring a lush fruity spread and leaves bedecking a pasty twink who only works out his armsArticle screenshot that says:

The most extreme examples of
Stendhal syndrome share a sensation of
self-fragmentation. Magherini
describes the case of a 53-year-old
German man who was hospitalized
after repeatedly viewing Caravaggio's
Bacchus at Uffizi Gallery. The patient
felt "an attraction closer and closer to
an intimate sexual arousal of
ambiguous nature that invaded him
and made him feel good and bad."
Unmoored and distressed, he sought
medical attention. After treating the
subject's initial episode, Magherini
writes that he came to recognize his
latent homosexuality. Another case...

I'm on vacation this week and ive spent about 20 hours over the last 2 days working on Rekindle. I love where I'm going with the Echo magic system but it really is just showing how much I have to do since I decided to rework the whole temperature system. I may post some of the basics to get opinions

Pilcrow Press @pilcrowpress.bsky.social · 07/06/2026
Originally, my game had mages cuz fantasy, but it was increasingly obvious that it was t really fitting the game. I've comeup with a new 'echo' system that functions like magic but it is powered by memories and history, which to me fit the theme of rekindling civilization better.
