waugh you’re all really kind and I don’t know what I’d do without you? I love you. and seriously guys thanks for always being so patient and understanding about my doofy rubber-hose body getting ill all the time I’m sorry it happens so annoyingly often >:U
also to that last anon- hilariously I did find a cool Rock today:
Yes, I’m on the try-to-draw-this-in-Tim-Burton’s-style-train now because, hey, I luv it. I had designs for much more ducks but I didn’t had enough time to draw them all. I’m not quite satisfied with how these came out and I’m still unsure about some parts but at least I tried :’D
how dare you I love this
Anonymous asked: I've got to say, all this stuff about your hands lately has me really worried for you, Mod, and I really really hope things get a bit better soon, for your health more than anything else. But... It's also got me wondering about, if worst comes to absolute worst and (god forbid) your hands give out... What's going to happened to all your planned comics and stories?
I’m trying not to think about that yet
Anonymous asked: you seem to know a lot about Gladstone's luck, but are you superstitious?
shucks! I wouldn’t say I do know a lot about it necessarily (I just think about it a lot), but as for being superstitious I’ve reached that odd point of wanting to say ‘no’ but not being able to do so because-
a) I ain’t risking shit
b) people that go around breaking mirrors and walking under ladders are causing their own health and safety problems and frankly that sorta behaviour is just plain rude I mean what did that mirror ever do to you
c) belief aside I find superstitions really interesting and I figure it’s only polite/logical to respect them when I spent a good hour reading an article about their origins on wikipedia
d) I know I’m too small and dumb to know what is or isn’t Ananke giving me a slap around the ears so I might as well play the game
e) who am I to say that talisman or lucky thimble or four-leafed clover isn’t going to work to someone who might just need a symbol to help hold onto a little hope in this frequently unfair and horrifying world
meiloorun-notthefruit asked: listen LISTEN what if Oswald the Lucky Rabbit met Gladstone.
saying that as if I haven’t already thought of it I’m insulted
Anonymous asked: I'm actually really glad that you stop working when you're in pain... Everywhere all I see for artists is just "work through it", be it pain or art block or whatever. It's nice to be reminded that I'm still more important than what I create. :)
I’m sorry I don’t do it very well- I have had to stop again because while on the whole I’ve been improving it’s a slow process, and apparently what little I was doing was still enough to upset my hands! I am just working on TPoH now, and only very slowly at that, until I’m more sure of what my hands are able to do- but yes! It’s hard to remember sometimes, but we have to look after ourselves or else we won’t be able to make what we love!
