Back to school

Aaaand I’m not comfortable here. 90% of the people at my course are once again really “business” and aim to work at publishers or marketing or webdesign or some other serious designer shit

Feeling kinda alienated because what’s my ambition? My ambition is to not end up working 9 to 5 at some kind of office cubicle

I want to stay at home and DRAW STUFF

And frankly my illustrations have gotten me more freelance jobs than most of these people but… I still can’t help but fear that I won’t be taken seriously here :( weh

I don’t say this often enough but thank you so much for all the notes and comments! I was having a crappy day and there’s just nothing better to lift the mood than a reminder that someone out there appreciates my drawings and characters and stories. I tend to forget because I’m an insecure scatterbrain I guess. But if you as much as remember the name of my OC I’ll bounce off the walls because it is very flattering let me tell you

Basically it’s 6am over here and I can’t sleep because I’m having such a darned happy moment all of a sudden. So yeah just wanted to let you know that these things mean a lot to me!

Trying out some brushes. Mmmyup this dude is becoming a character in the Untitled Possible Future Project™

Sensei is usually seen hanging out at a local park. He’s in his late twenties and probably homeless. Kids love him because he knows everything, gives good advice and does their homework in exchange for food. He also claims to see the auras of people, though it could just be the stuff he’s smoking

sukkamehu asked:

What would be the opening and ending songs for Phantomland if it was an animated series? 8D

Ohhh this is a really hard one!

I guess the opening theme would be some kind of badass adventure song

and the ending theme something calm and sentimental

So yeah I watched the first 12 eps of Motorcity

There was a flashback episode where Mike is still proudly working for the bad guys but then comes a day when he’s ordered to demolish a building full of people

Mike is like “no” and Kane is like “what’s wrong with you Mike why won’t you kill a few dozen people for no reason”

and that’s when Mike knows in his heart that he must quit and become Jesus good guy

That pretty much sums up the narrative depth of this series

HOWEVER I’m still willing to watch this show for the animation and character designs. And Duke of Detroit. Daaay-um they are nice

lazyjustice asked:

I've recently become quite interested in Phantomland and it's truly magnificent! I was just wondering if you could perhaps pronounce Chie's name. I've come up with three different pronunciations and would appreciate an official one! ((Sorry if you've already answered this..))

Aww thanks for reading, I’m glad you enjoy it!!

Chie is a Japanese name so I assumed most people familiar with anime would know how it’s pronounced, but… I guess for an English speaker it sounds something like chee-eh?

Anonymous asked:

hello! would it be all right with you if somebody cosplayed as a phantomland character? i feel like you've answered a similar ask before, but i wanted to check before i made any concrete plans :-) it's one of my favorite things out there and i'd love to cosplay as chie someday

Dude I consider it a dream come true and a huge milestone in my career if someone actually goes through the trouble of cosplaying my character oh my gosh…….

In any case I’m glad you enjoy the comic! Thank you so much for reading!!

W stands for Water tribe. Quick sketch coz I suddenly remembered that I love Sokka and this pairing. Somehow I really appreciate the fact that their relationship is super normal and healthy and uncomplicated

Holy shite I actually finished this??
Took me approx 15 hours in total, of which I think 20% was spent constantly re-drawing the sword because goddamn note to self always check your refs for mistakes before proceeding to cleanup

I wasn’t very satisfied with my previous attempt at a poster so I’m trying again! Wonder if that’s a convincing way to hold a rifle…
Gonna work on this at my stream now, come say hi :)
