Arsenic Lullaby Comic Con - commissions progress and steemit inc. continues to insult the creative community
I've got a bunch of stuff "in progress" that I'm gonna just show you now, as is, because I'm not sure I'll have time to blog em to you before I head out for GRAND RAPIDS COMIC CON ( Nov.8-10th) http://www.grcomiccon.com
If you go, just look for this booth!
Imma show you what I'm working on...
BUT FIRST...I can't help but notice on my feed ( on all of our feeds) the "featured posts" are once again / still ...boring tedious garbage about crypto/how the site works and other nerd speak that normal human users of social media don't care about.
Hey...assholes running this site- NO ONE IS COMING HERE OR STAYING HERE FOR THAT. Imagine, if you can, that you are a NORMAL HUMAN BEING, and you stumble onto this site or someone recommends it to you and you see THOSE as the featured posts...you're not going to gaf about them and you're going to think this place is moslty for crypto geeks, and you are going to leave and not come back.
and BTW who was the fcking moron who decided that a post about steemfest shold be FEATURED??? Do you you fcking morons understand that a post like that is not only of zero interest to a new user, it is of zero interest to 99% of the people who are already here. How many people, even those who really care about this site, have any interest in reading about a half assed convention that they ain't going to be at?! who the FUCK is that "featured post" for? the two dozen people that are going? that's really great use of the"featured post"...ffs.
and on behalf of the entire creative community here that ARE THE REASON PEOPLE COME AND STAY - Not featuring ANY of us is a giant insult. thanks for nuthing and go fck yourselves.*
Let me explain something to you...you are not the only place only where we can show off our stuff, not by a long shot, you're not even the only decentralized site...and the price of steem is at .20 so you need US way more than we need YOU. Especially in the wake of your little STM venture that affected the price of steem by about oh...let's see... 0.000000002 .
If you have a brain in your head, you're gonna start using the "featured posts" to show off what is good about the social media platform you crypto is attached to.
Or don't. I don't gaf.
Now then...
I'll start where I left off, London After Midnight. When last we spoke of it I had this quick sketch as an Idea
I've since polished it up a bit
and started a little inking
The thins with this one, it has a lot of long lines ( the is 11x17 inches) and those aren't lines I force unless I'm on a deadline. Some days long lines are really tough ans some days they seem so easy a child could do it. If there's no deadline, I tackle them on the days it seems easy. so this is probably about as far as I'll get before I leave...
That's about as far as I'll likely get because I got one last commission request that rolled in ( that seems way more fun than trying to do those long tedious lines). It's from a regular by the name of James who wanted a bit of a mash up of the Judge Dredd universe...
With a more obscure Marvel character - Captain Britain...
In particular he wanted some action featuring Dredd and the Captain vs one of Dredd's villains - Judge Death!
I took a few tries at it, made some rough sketches and let him choose which one I'll make all nice and fancy...
I'll let you know which one he picked and show you the progress next time...or maybe I won't...you know what? Sign up for my email updates, where I send out stuff like this to subscribers every week.

I will FOR SURE send it out to my subscribers...whether I post it on steemit where the powers that be continue to insult me is only a 50/50 chance at this point. I mean, I love all you fellow steemians but f*ck these guys, y'know? no reason you can't continue to see my work and hear my complaints without me helping these people who continue to give us the finger.
BTW, I'm also on these sites...
