Marissa @psshaw.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Oh, and is this palette too lacking in midtones? I love using dark backgrounds, but I think I need a seeing-eye dog-person to tell me when I made the whole drawing black again 010 0

Marissa @psshaw.bsky.social · 13/09/2026So you meant online! After trying a few things in 2021, I've grown bearish on the idea that big reach for artists won't devolve into clout-chasing; but I think smaller or IRL communities could get that weird, wild, early internet vibe back faster than anything 200 0
Marissa @psshaw.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Ohh, I've seen some of these! I always end up agreeing with ~75%, but again that's as someone who came up in original/play-based art scenes and watched them shrink. Really cool and I hope they beget more tough essays on the topic.

Marissa @psshaw.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Can I ask for more detail on these spaces? Online, real life, occupancy numbers, rules? What are they educating on, and are they in lieu of fanart limits at tables? I realize we're talking big ideas in a low character limit, but I think "just do stuff" can lean into equivocation 110 0
Marissa @psshaw.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Pictures of TCAF make me soooo sadddd the last few years; I swear the last time I trekked to Canada it was just rows and rows of books! I wish I could find more talk of what changed behind the scenes 010 0
Marissa @psshaw.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Which takes us back to the drawing above: if everyone naturally prefers referential art over original, how should indie comic shows handle non-indie fandom works? 100 0
Marissa @psshaw.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I suspect we run in different circles! My experience seeking out hobbyists to befriend is that they stick to zine fests and furry cons. When I do get looks into the fandom merch space, people are very helpful and eager to share resources. Unfortunately hustle culture as you said gets into indie, too 110 0
Marissa @psshaw.bsky.social · 13/09/2026This one makes me so weirdly uneasy, they're like ants on a worm! 010 0
Marissa @psshaw.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I've seen lots of talk from the last 5 years about how to make a successful booth, and it's usually by catering instead of expression. I get the vibe it's attracted hustlers who make life harder for everyone by buying tables when the original artists and storytellers could have a successful boycott 010 0
Marissa @psshaw.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Just speaking personally, I don't think fandom has to be what fandom is now: an accelerated consumer cycle where every con artist feels the need to draw 10 chibi acrylic charms for every new show of the month. The con organizers are the worst players but the general culture has a hyper mindset now 231 0
Marissa @psshaw.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I figured this was gonna be a rough prequel to tackle for any author, but it's kind of impressive how no breed of Astarion fan got what they wanted out of this. Thank you for saving me a lot of skimming haha 141 0
