Really sucks that AA isn’t even shown on the program guide map so please reblog posts about AA when you can so people selling there this year can be found. We have a tiny text mention but I know a lot of people who are very visual. ALSO if you’re at Fanime selling in the AA or just going for fun please tag your location on Instagram if you have it :) It only lets you tag the convention center but you can put “I’m in the south hall behind the convention center in a giant striped blue and white tent thing” Let people know where its at and that they should go <3 Maybe offer discounts if they mention they saw your post about it!
Please reblog any posts about where the AA is this year or make your own posts. Just do whatever you can do spread the word O: If you’re not going to Fanime please reblog anyway in case your followers do go! Or might go! xoxoxo Thank you <3
Please spread this you guys! Even if you aren’t going (you never know who of your followers is) There isn’t really a real map of where we are and it’s been my experience that when they move an AA at a con, its tends to not get visited. (Yes, it has happened to me before. In fact, I ended up losing money by being there because they put the AA in the basement and barely anyone came by) And the artists, who spent countless hours getting ready for the convention end up getting the short end of the stick.
Hopefully there will be decent signage inside the con to point us out but if not, this will be the best way to know where we are at.
im not going to fanime but lots of my friends are at the artist aaley this year, which is unfortunately placed. spreading the word! dont forget to give them a visit

Hey shilin, I have been wondering what is your secret to drawing Carciphona's char faces with perfect symmetry? where they still look fine even after flipping the canvas and since I know you draw it using traditional media, its impossible to "flip" the canvas as in digital.I do make edits on photoshop to monstrous mistakes I make on paper, although not often. Moving facial features is one of those things I do! If you squint hard enough you can see past the perspective warp on the photos I take of pages I draw and see that the face of rae I drew on paper is a little different from the one on the toned page, for example
Otherwise, it is actually possible to flip the canvas traditionally. You literally just do that in front of a mirror or since no one really has a mirror on their computer desk, I hold it up backwards up to my lamp and use the light to see the drawing horizontally flipped (:

Congrats on your first book!! Everyone go buy it It’s an amazing and gorgeous book outside and inside ;_;
- blur tool :D…..
- I have heard of her and I’ve listened to short clips out of curiosity. I will keep my opinions about her music to myself because I’m certain my preferences and background will make my opinions sound bigotted no matter what I do ):
I don’t do requests, sorry ;;http://okolnir.net/post/43375798518/- A piece I composed myself called Return ^^
- I use 65lb cardstock paper that is easily found next to copy paper anywhere in stationery stores. I divide up the panels using rulers to draw straight lines…? I’m not sure what aspect of dividing panels you’re asking about
- I don’t do everything in order, but my work flow go from story in head -> general summary with descriptions and some key dialog -> detailed script with all dialog -> laying down thumbnails for the volume (I usually do this all in one go and from beginning to the end) -> drawing each individual page according to that thumbnail plan
- I do use reference to understand what I don’t understand, but I rarely “draw from” a reference I guess because I feel uncomfortable copying something only it to call it my own work later.
- Sorry but I can’t ;; I don’t have the time to do things like this and I don’t like making exceptions, because I know as soon as I make one everyone would want to have a shot at it, and I would end up having to explain why I’m doing that for you and not everyone else and 15 minutes for a sloppy sketch multiplied by everyone else is a big number I don’t have the luxury to spare and AUGH MY MIND HAS RUN OFF SOMEBODY STOP ME
- I do love to share my story but usually not for opinions and suggestions. I make Carciphona (and all of my personal art, actually) to indulge myself, not to contribute to the library of worthwhile works, so I would like to steer it as far away from guilt, stress, anxiety and detachment as possible, and efforts to please an external opinion which I don’t connect with as closely as my own threaten to cause all of that.
Don’t want to wait 2 or 3 weeks to have your question answered only to miss the post? send it with your username instead of anonymous and I’ll answer you in private ^^

- I didn’t create them so I”m not gonna post them there. Please ask a friend to download it and send it to you instead!
- 8 bit because I don’t know what the difference is :[ I just know I can’t save 16 bit images directly into jpgs or something like that
- I don’t think I’m talented, otherwise I would’ve learned things a lot faster and not be making the same mistake over and over and over again HAHA.
The way I worded veloce’s dialog with weirin was meant to give that immediate impression that she was saying that doing something you have no knack for is pointless, because it’s something she doesn’t fully understand and can only try to figure out with logic, but the other part of that topic that came up later in the flashback of her teaching meron also has a slightly hidden conclusion about what she thinks of people who have doubts about whether or not they are doing something they are good enough to do. Most people perceived veloce’s answer of “then what’s the problem” response as an unsympathetic and arrogant response from someone who doesn’t understand insecurities of the less successful/skillful, but it was actually just veloce telling meron as long as it was something she wants to do (ie. getting better at magic), there wasn’t anything else she needed to be worrying about. - idk back when i watched anime i liked saint tail/pokemon/sailormoon and a bunch of random mech animes
- yes
- you can buy my items from brazil, but I’m not the one flying a plane to bring the books to you so it’s up to you to decide whether or not me and the post office are trustworthy enough, because there’s nothing I can do about stuff getting lost ):
- inked (in pencil) on paper, toned on computer
- I’ve mentioned multiple times in my most recent piece that I posted that it will be made into a tutorial soon ^^
