y’all’re making me cry for real with all these kind replies and inbox messages. i can’t reply to them all but gosh I just, i love you so much and I’m so grateful to have such patient and kind followers I’m so heckin proud and glad to know you
Anonymous asked: oh god thank you so much for those redraws, your Gladstone actually looks like Gladstone- also, can I ask why you designed him with that little extra mark/break in his left eyebrow? it looks cool, like an invisible scar! just wondered if there was something more to it
oh shucks, thanks buddy I am so glad you like it (also thanks everyone those tags are sustaining my mortal soul) as for the eyebrow- kind of amazed you picked up on that but yeah! I thought it’d be neat if he had a tiny bit of scar tissue that broke up the eyebrow, but which could just pass as a normal trait
honestly partly it’s because I wanted a little asymmetry to break up the heavy eyebrow/eyeliner combo (I did consider giving him an eyebrow piercing but went for this instead), but with the whole super-unlucky-birthday thing that came from Sign of the Triple Distelfink I kind of liked the idea that there was some physical evidence that Gladstone had been unlucky at some point; especially something plainly visible and yet something that nobody but Gladstone himself would even notice. Where better to put that than on his face?
Anonymous asked: you inspire me to love myself and what i create and i dont even know how. you're so delightfully whimsical and weird and im so glad you're here
??!?!?! I’m so glad?! Oh wow. What an awesome message to start a day with I’m so happy for you buddy
so with the advent of my website getting the Hug of Death (bandwidth exceeded) again, I’ve been provoked to go for the idea I’ve had for a while of shifting TPoH over to Tapastic! Smackjeeves has been super but it doesn’t bring in any cash, and neither does my own website so… time to explore greener pastures.
I’ve put the first chapter up already, but I’m 100% new to this website and I’m not quite sure what I’m doing! :’D if you have any advice or feedback please let me know- and for those Smackjeeves folks I have; don’t worry, I will leave the pages that are already there up, and I’ll be making a clear post about it with the new link next update!
(also hey yeah if you imgur dudes could spread the word that this is happening that’d be rad because you know, there seem to be a lot of you new folks and views = money and anyway my website is still down and all that eyyy)
Oof! Got the second chapter up- I’m doing one page per ‘episode’ from now on (why such weird terminology tapastic?!) but it’s taking a while and my hands can’t deal, so I’m going to have to do it in little bursts. Hopefully I will be caught up with myself by the time it gets to Sunday and the new page….
