I think thats whats overwhelmed me for so long now is trying to figure out if i should use SAI or photoshop or if theres any good free ones out there ? thats mainly where im stuck. if i had someone to just download it all for me and hand me the tablet and say "ok draw" it would cut out all my problems. being autistic makes it even harder to grasp and was starting to irritate everyone so i just gave up for the longest time. thank you for your opinion / recommendations btw ! ilysm and im so glad i could get someone whos truly an inspiration to me- well, to get their artistic experience haha.

Best thing to do is start drawing! I mean that, my first set up was absolute trash. I have since upgraded 3 times, I'm now on an Artist 24 Pro paired with an iMac which is way too much for most people's needs. You'll gradually figure out the kind your requirements and preferences for equipment and software.
For now, I recommend any of the free options for software, maybe even shell out for Adobe or Affinity if you choose. And check out tons of tutorials and write ups on how to tweak your specs/use your chosen software and tablet. Eventually once you get the hang of things rendering digitally rather than traditionally, research XP-Pen and upgrade from there when you're ready!

Something akin to the identity disc display from Tron Legacy, nice!

I'm going with adding basic torsos/screen reflection

But, y'all also fierce, and no doubt want the other competition outta there, maybe especially that pesky tall Canadian gal haha

I am positive that once they got the colors and more information to them, it will appear as 2D heads on a screen in such a way as reddit is monitoring the other artist's as such.

I'm hoping the colors and borders will flatten it a bit.

Well, do you think I should adjust that so it doesn't look that way? Lol, I cannot afford for anyone to misinterpret any of these panels.

Reddit mounting the heads of the other artists on the wall, like trophy's. Nice! Less competition for you Elk.

Who's all the way to the right, on the r/comics lineup? I recognize everyone else.

Shoutout to Extra Fabulous Comics for sharing the exact same braincells as me.

Sorry that's what I really meant. I knew as soon as I typed it, punchline wasn't really the right word. I'm just waiting to see how my expectations will be subverted, lol

Part 3 sketches will begin once Part 1 is mostly complete. It doesn't really have a "punchline" like most of my work. Just a spectacular end.

Oh wow, I didn't even see Extra Fabulous Comics, Gustopher, Ellen, Portuguese Geese, and the others the first time. Nice little easter egg. Can't wait to see the final product as always. Are you saving the punchline til then?

I despise all of these people. They're just there because they are nearly as recognizable as me. π

It's easy to see who your favourites are in r/comics through the rogues gallery. π
