theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Notes from my dream ideas book. No context provided 040
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I can't concentrate on making thumbnails for the main comic, so I did a few dinosaur studies for another idea 140
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Three pages penciled to tonight. Then you realize just what you've committed yourself to for the next ~30 pages... 020
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Tonight's pencils. I try to push my art just a little bit with each episode and I think it shows. Drawn while listening to mostly this on repeat youtu.be/17lxryIFn1Y?... 030
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 27/09/2026It's good to not follow too closely to a script. No matter how well you think you know how a character will act, as soon as they are on the page they do whatever the hell they want. In this case, Commander Wals was supposed to be a stuffy jerk, but instead he's a clueleas idiot. 130
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Refilling some old brush pen cartridges, but it looks like I'm shooting up ink 220
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Maybe about an hour per panel. Imagine if I could survive by just drawing my silly little space cartoons. I'll have the library photocopy it about a zillion times and I'll give them out for free at cons n stuff! 030
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Something I learned this weekend is that I need something to pass out to people and also an easy way to explain the comic. (Sometimes even what a comic is, but maybe there is no hope for these people.) So I'm designing a foldout zine. 120
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Episode 3 is printed, but I messed up the formatting and I'm not happy with the result. So it will sell at a discount and I'll print a second run as soon as I can afford it. 020
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Episode 4 takes place on a gas giant, and the tiny research station suspended from a balloon in its upper atmosphere. I like the idea of a cramped but solid little vessel floating on an impossibly vast ocean of methane. 140
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I feel like I can't communicate with people. If I'm not awkwardly out of my depth, I still only get the meatspace equivalent of a social media "like" when I ramble about my art ideas, even to other artists. Granted, they are not cartoonists or illustrators, but I try to listen to them when they talk 000
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I was re-reading my own comics, as ya do, and it's this page specifically that I realized I nailed the experience of reading an old underground comic. The paper texture, the black ink, the next page barely visible in the white parts- exactly this. 030
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 12/09/2026With episode 3 off to the printers, I didn't expect tje post creative depression to hit so hard this time. In any case, the free web version starts updating monday starspanners.thecomicseries.comstarspanners.thecomicseries.comStar Spanners3.0 020
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I just want a job where my hard work is properly recognized and where we don't find crack pipes on the floor in laser tag. 120
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I thought about going incognito to the anime con I can get into for free at work, but not if the weather is going to be warm. It's too muggy in that building to wear a fursuit head 140
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Pumpkin head girl pinup marker drawing. I'll scan it laterrrrr 030
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I can't be trusted with spare string at work. Shibari, from what I've done on just toys, is oddly fun and not even in a sexual way. I just like spending time to make pleasing knots and solving the intricate puzzle 010
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I wish I had more to add to the world than just complaining about how I'm struggling to get through it, but here is a snail youtu.be/poGkdX8H4cY?...youtu.beGabby the Snail taking a showerYouTube video by MrJustyno 010
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 22/08/2026God I hate the just ignore it advice to debilitating loneliness. 110
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Erotic work in progress The library is accepting art to put on their freshly painted wall, but I feel like if I'm not drawing something comic related, I'm drawing smut. Hm. 020
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Our neighbor relative found some old stuff in the house. I'm obsessed with this old box of chocolates that looks like a book. The postcards in it are cool too. 020
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 16/08/2026I took the day off and walked in the rain 030
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Holy shit it's a rough one today 🧠 110
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Do not test me energy At the end of a particularly trying shift, some kids (legal adults) were begging me to have the last prize in the bin of inflatable balls. I picked it up and tried to pop it but didn't have anything sharp so I used my teeth and then just looked at them. 010
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 09/08/2026I don't know how, but I'm drawing in spite of it all. Perhaps historians will comment on the excessive use of black ink in this issue. 020
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Every day I wonder how I'm going to get through it. I always do, but there is no guarentee. 100
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 02/08/2026It's hardly fair that as I feel some of the darkness lifting, I have to go to work again tomorrow 100
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 01/08/2026You have never seen a synth like this. Probably for good reason. 140
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Oh no, here comes the loneliness again. This is not what I need on top of everything. D: 110
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Meanwhile, the drone synth is really more of an art piece than a useful instrument, but you can get some fun nightmarish space radio sounds out if it. At least when I tested the prototype. I'm waiting for green buttons and a purple volume knob to finish it. 010
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 23/07/2026So tired and burnt out from summer. But I sold a boat and worked on my comic. I'm glad that I'm still enthusiastic about it, even if some days are hard to in nor pencil or come up with ideas. Maybe I could work harder to get it Out There, but I'd still need a job, so why should I ruin a good thing? 040
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 22/07/2026I'm so exhausted I could fuckin cry and I want a break. I need two weeks. One to recover and one to catch up with the pathological untidiness of my spaces. This oppressive weather does not help matters. 120
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 20/07/2026It's been a depressy one. Sometime ya gotta remember to not actively fight it cuz it will just wear you down even more 010
theonlyphano.bsky.social @theonlyphano.bsky.social · 18/07/2026So This might be the most diabolical device I've ever built. 140
