I really am not surprised if D&Q would turn the other way wrt stealing other people's works (LRT) since they did it to me for Constitution Illustrated. "Fair use" was their excuse for tracing wholesale.

the sooner i can reach $205 to cover the 4th $350 shot, the closer i can get to 12 sessions, and the closer i get to not agonizing over wasting literal hours paralyzed by my OCD during and after instead of doing the shit i actually need to do Lol™️

Well just because my city and state are now ruled by saffron nazis doesn't mean I get to stop shilling my work. Still need income. Such is capitalism. Here is a book about my now nazified city, Calcutta, in the 90s/00s, imagined as a host for refugees from a distant reality. Places are memory.

Ganbare Nakamura-kun is a sweet adaptation so far. Feels reminiscent of Seihantai's in that much of the appeal is the way that familiar material is processed, but unlike that one (and partly by necessity of such concise short material), it has a lot of original material to flesh out a cute romcom

All it would take is roughly 12 million people and a concerted supportive effort that would weather any blowback (monetarily, emotionally, physically) with enforcement of not crossing the picket line in any way shape or form with clear demands and this would all be a wrap

Thinking about how years of work just to get to this point really went down the drain with rejection after rejection being received and I just gotta take that and live with it. A dream just being that when it was for my family and the people I cared for more than anything else. It really is brutal.

Watercolour illustration of Juliette, a tall and lean woman with long shiny black hair, walking fiercely towards a Formula 1 car. She is carrying a helmet under her arm and wearing a white and black racing suit with bright purple accents, matching her car's design and colours. On the road around her are layed multiple purple roses and petals. The composition is a reference to the famous Akira poster.

illustration of a blue 1988 Jeep Cherokee, Jasper is sitting on the roof with a map and an orange cat, they are shaking paws.

watercolor illustration of a Hello Kitty racing car inspired by the Hotwheels Nissan Skyline GT-R Sanrio design. It's pink and black with hello kitty stickers, the driver, a young red haired person with freckles, is leaning nonchalantly on the car's hood and playing with the keys, the driver's door is open. Next to it two illustrations in Sanrio's style of Hello Kitty herself and the same driver blowing a raspberry (it's Jasper!)

I dont ever remember this being taught in schools because… why would they? It paints the US in “a bad light” which is just awful. I think this was something i learned about much much later on my own. Its crazy how many of our atrocities are just hand-waved away like they never mattered or happened.

Fresh Start is OUT!!!!! It’s a lot of things — a mixed kid story, a gender story, a complicated family story, a friendship story, a love letter to anime tweens — but mostly it is RIDICULOUS and FUN and I’m so proud of it and so grateful to everyone who made it happen. AHHHHHHHHHH.

Sketchbook drawing of Ollie from Fresh Start. Title: “it’s… book day!”
Ollie exclaims: I’m in a comic?!
Text: Yeah!!
Ollie: Do I have cool powers???
Text: …No!!!
Small text: Or do you?

Stack of copies of Fresh Start by Gale Galligan on a table for signing.

Childhood pen drawing of three original creatures. They are basically circles with big anime eyes and hands and feet, like a cross between Kirby and Pokemon. They have shiny ball-tipped antennae. Text at the bottom labels them “elementei.”

Two page spread from Fresh Start by Gale Galligan.

PAGE 1
PANEL 1
Ollie and friends lounge in Zoe’s room. Maya is reading in a corner.
Zoe: FRENCH FLAPS!
Ollie: Right?!
Zoe: Gah, I wiiiish we got some of the nicer books you see overseas.

PANEL 2
Maya keeps reading.
Off panel voice: Yeah, the original Deepsea Merbattle books are like this much bigger.
Off panel voice: With all that detail, too.

PANEL 3
Nina throws a pillow at Maya. It hits the side of her head; she is unfazed.
SFX: poomf
Nina: Come on, Meta, you have dragons at home.
Maya: Oof.

PANEL 4
Maya has a ready retort; Nina sticks out her tongue.
Maya: You know that my siblings do not give me a moment of peace.
Ollie: Meta?

PANEL 5
Zoe replies with a grin.
Zoe: Oh, it’s just something from a story we’re working on.

PAGE 2
A full page illustration of the Elementei Guardians, as imagined by Zoe, Maya, and Nina. It has a title treatment and a copyright notice ( (c) Elementei Studios). They have clearly spent some time thinking about this.

Caption: In a world where people have figured out how to harness teleportation magic for their machines, but don’t realize that they’re wearing down our interplanetary fabric — evil monsters start slipping through the cracks!

Caption: Fortunately, good creatures have found their way into our world from a magical dimension to help our heroes save the day! They are… the Elementei Guardians!!

Label: Chaos, Fire Elementei, Electric 🔥⚡️ specialty
Label: Meta, Water Elementei, Mind specialty 💧🔄
Label: Angel, Air Elementei, Heart specialty ☁️❤️

Zoe, Nina, and Maya stand underneath their respective characters and strike a pose. Ollie sits in front of them, serving as their audience.

Zoe: And there you have it!
Maya: It’s mostly in our heads right now.
Ollie: Neat.

Astarion Baldur's Gate from yesterday ✨

A tattoo of Astarion from Baldur's Gate 3. Spoilers ahead! It is a playing card/rotationally mirrored design that plays with his two plot endings. The top is the ascended Astarion, happy and cruel, in a fancy, embroidered red jacket. The bottom is Astarion denied and covered in blood. Sad but feeling. Ascended Astarion holds the hilt of the sword of life stealing, which points to the throat of the reverse Astarion, whose hand caresses the blade. The second photo is a close up of ascended Astarion, the third photo is a close up of the reverse Astarion.

This is entirely baseless, but i have a theory about Arcane Season 2 that at some point someone said, “this should absolutely be two separate seasons, but with the way things are going with animation on streaming we may not get a third season. Better messy and done than forever unfinished.”
