ered-jaeger answered: you can create the invoice at paypal directly - it’s under the request money tab!

yinza said: The PP site specifically says if you don’t have a tracking number to mark the invoice as “Order Processed/Service Rendered” (though this is still under “Add Tracking Info” which is a little confusing). It’s the same option as for digital delivery.

proteesiukkonen answered: With PayPal, it’s never a good idea to pretend anything beccause it makes it look like you might be scamming people or PayPal, and that’s when they start giving you trouble.

Okay this stuff’s starting to make more sense, I think I know what I’m doing now. Fingers crossed that things will go smoothly. Thanks for all your help people!

tumblueberry answered: Paypal is apparently being more strict about the usage of their site, so pick something “legal” in exchange of the goods. If they see something suspicious,the sue could be like 2000€. I think it’s better to send clients an invoice they have to pay :)

Oh god I’m a little nervous now haha. Does it count as an “invoice” if I send people emails detailing how much they owe me? Because that’s how I’ve done it so far

I found out that if you include a home address when paying for goods & services, Paypal might then expect to know every detail, tracking info etc. about the package that’s being sent. The thing is I AM sending physical books but I don’t have any papers about them aside from the receipt I get at the post office ( ̄□ ̄;)

Soooo I guess it would be smarter to just pretend I’m selling non-physical goods to avoid that hassle??

Hahaha oh boy I got one of these

Cool use of strawmanning my comments into fatphobia when I never said a word about body weight. But sure, by all means label me classist. Obviously I’m required to have a thorough understanding of a foreign country’s social issues before I’m allowed to make observational remarks about the food in their cartoons

robaemea said: The Printing House is $$ but good quality, CopyDog, Guerilla Print, Ka-Blam is in the us but a lot of Canadians print there bc its cheaper

Hey thanks! Some of those seem like the kind of thing I’m looking for. TPH tells me they’re right next door to the TCAF venue! Ahhh let’s hope everything goes smoothly :ooo

Ahh yeah…. he’s always been swole, it’s just taken me years to get the hang of it, difficult stuff especially with clothes on. Tbh I’m still kinda unsure if the reference is good enough haha

WELL YEAH by that logic some of the characters could have tails, that would be pretty hardcore weird……. Geez I gotta sit down for a bit. Motherfucking tails

ladybajingo reblogged this from you and added:
NOPE DO IT IM SOLD. I WILL BUY EVERY BOOK. GRUMPY BIG DUDES WITH SHARP TEETH ARE MY LIFE AND IM GOING TO CRY FOR YEARS. THERE WILL BE A LAKE OF MY TEARS AND THEY’LL CALL IT LAKE OF THE BARA LOVING LOSER LADYBAJINGO.

Hahaha holy shit, I approve of this reaction. Can’t blame ya though sharp teeth are pretty rad!

bloody-cyber-punk said: thats cool and all, but it looks straight up canine. wouldnt it make more sense to look more primate like if its from our past evolutionary stages?

True! But primate teeth are really humanlike, only with bigger canines, and I kinda want to avoid giving my characters that particular “vampire” look. Perhaps there was some species before primates that had more dog-like teeth, or maybe the virus itself is equipped with those particular genes? In any case this whole thing is meant to be very mysterious and will only get more crazy and implausible as the story progresses anyway, haha. Thanks for your input though!

Thanks, honestly the hardest part was compiling it in goddamned Windows moviemaker hahaha….

Really though Chie is the only character I intentionally draw skinny

I wouldn’t mind having more fat characters but it’s too late to change most of these designs that I made like 5+ years ago

nieida9 said: I wonder what Jon would say/do if someone asked him why he’s so skinny….

playerprophet said: I HOPE I CAN GET IT RIGHT I always like to say your name different because finnish names are fun but maybe I’m still not pronouncing it right

Haha don’t worry about it, I’m thrilled that you’re learning Finnish but I totally get how hard it is!

lumitiikeri said: But… but when can I buy it?

As soon as it’s finished and printed :-D Thanks for your interest!

Thing is I’m a little pissed how stupidly long this chapter is taking me so I hope I’ll be motivated to work faster when there’s a constantly shrinking buffer to think about, haha… but yeah look forward to the print version! It’ll be a blast!

Yusss my first assignment in 3dsmax! There’s still some stuff to fix but I got lazy

good inspy for 3dsmax!

Also, how long did this take to make (and then render?) I’m doing an assignment on 3dsmax right now, and we’re having to build a city

Probably around six hours in total but keep in mind it’s the first thing I’ve ever modeled? I’m still slow and clumsy with the tools

Rendering was pretty fast though, around 5 mins for each pic in HD res

lk1721 said: I’m from the U.S.A. so I don’t know where you might be able to get them in Finland, but they do indeed exist! Example: stickerobot.com/product…

Ahh it turns out there is a local sticker printhouse (in my home city no less) that makes all sorts of stickers with transparency and everything! Thanks a lot for the tip! :)

I’m so excited for stickers oh my gosh… it’s not like I don’t have more important things to work on right now but STICKERS

ACTION POSE STICKERS

jadebee said: Have you thought about a sort of “wolf’s tail” like what Sokka from ATLA does with the buzzed/shaved sides but long on top, but pulled back? Looks awesome though!

Ah I love Sokka’s hair but I feel it’s too hip for Jon :D I’m leaning towards the zero maintenance haircuts because this was a period in his life where he didn’t give a shit about anything
