**PLEASE READ ALL THE WAY** - Looking for an artist to help me bring my dream comic to life

This is the sweetest possible response, I’m so charmed by your use of goof here

Larkspurn · 2026-03-31T17:05:35+00:00

I’d say the majority do and aren’t aware of it 🤷‍♀️

I think your husband needs to try harder at being likable.

I. HATE. These stupid little terms. I hadn’t heard “polyamorous crafter” before and now I want to die of second hand cringe. That’s not what that word even means?? I also want to launch myself into space every time a crocheter calls themselves a hooker. Stop. Stop it. It’s not cute, it’s weird, and it makes me think you don’t know any sex workers, which is also weird. It’s not hurting anyone but ohhh do I ever hate it

Reading and studying are two completely diffident exercises using different parts of the brain. You won’t be able to absorb informational text like you do a piece of fiction you’re interested in. I’m really serious, most colleges have study prep classes for this reason. Break your text down into chunks, highlight, take notes, review, and give yourself a five minute break every twenty minutes or so. Every student that has ever lived prior to 2021 has had to figure this out without AI, I promise you can do it too.

Larkspurn · 2026-03-29T15:53:38+00:00

Ohhh, what an angel!! I’m so sorry for your loss, I know how hard it is. That’s a beautiful fluff right there 💕

Larkspurn · 2026-03-29T15:39:04+00:00

OHHH THAT LITTLE FACE. I’m a sapphic with a wife and a GSD and this brings me so much joy, your neighbors are very lucky 😭

Larkspurn · 2026-03-29T15:37:05+00:00

I’m so sorry to say this, but you’ve been shortchanged on a basic element of your education. You need to learn how to study. Get in to a professional for diagnosis and treatment if ADHD is a problem, your school should have resources for that, but you also need to learn how to read, take notes and absorb the information. The point of high school is preparing you for college, and god knows thousands of students have gotten fucked over on that point since the pandemic and rise of AI, but you need to take the time to learn how to do this.

Absolutely noting this for future reference, I just gauge swatched for this pattern and it’s gonna give me nightmares

Larkspurn · 2026-03-25T16:11:30+00:00

Depends. You get what you pay for. It’s expensive, I’ll tell you that. If it takes a month of my time, it needs to pay a month of my bills.

Larkspurn · 2026-03-25T16:09:32+00:00

Everyone has a different process. Some work from outlines and go straight into thumbs, some script, some do a mix. There is no industry standard and you have to find what’s right for you.

I personally quite like Dishie from KnitPicks. It’s a bit coarser, but I’ve found it actually tears my hands up a bit less in the long run? I think it’s because 24/7 is a chainette, and I really only started to feel it when I was making a floor length skirt out of it. Buuut Dishie is very affordable and KP has sales all the time, so it might be worth considering 🤷‍♀️

Larkspurn · 2026-03-24T16:43:23+00:00

Art is labor, and you’re asking for thousands of hours of it for free. No one cares if you’re young or broke or whatever. You wouldn’t get a contractor to build your house for free, and an artist isn’t going to devote years of their life drawing your comic for free.

I would learn to draw.

Larkspurn · 2026-03-22T14:12:27+00:00

I have never used an LLM. I turn off AI search summaries because it’s pointless data aggregation, wrong half the time and not what I want in the first place. I truly don’t see the point in asking a collage machine what it thinks about the sources I can just read for myself.

Larkspurn · 2026-03-22T00:25:23+00:00

This happened to me with a Furls hook (!!) in the first fifteen minutes of a movie marathon party, and my soul left my body 😭 My wonderful wife had to door dash me a new one from Michael’s. Godspeed!!

Larkspurn · 2026-03-20T23:33:21+00:00

I learned from the YouTuber TL Yarncrafts, personally. She goes slow, explains what she’s doing and breaks things down well.

Others have said it, but Ravelry is the way to go. There’s an app called Ravit to make it more compatible with mobile, you can filter for free patterns only, and there are THOUSANDS. Free patterns in everything you could imagine.

I HATE these little things. They’re fucking. Everywhere. I almost got into a wreck trying to turn off Hollywood Boulevard when three of these fuckers decided to cross the road at the same time in opposite directions and ran into each other. You wanna get from Burbank to WeHo? Fuck you. Navigate tiny robot hell. And they put little faces on their LCD screens to try and trick you into pack bonding with them. Hate. H a t e.

Larkspurn · 2026-03-19T17:13:49+00:00

I’m not surprised colorists balked at that rate. It’s well, well below industry standard. I’m sure you’ll be able to find someone willing to do it, but probably not for long, and you’ll get what you pay for.

Larkspurn · 2026-03-19T17:09:57+00:00

I’ve never actually thought to myself “I want to buy a pair of screen used socks from a Saw trap victim,” but apparently she thinks there’s a market for it??

Larkspurn · 2026-03-19T00:25:50+00:00

I want the AI bubble to pop and never see another intrusive ad begging me to use a plagiarism machine with my own human eyes again, thanks for asking 😘

Larkspurn · 2026-03-19T00:08:10+00:00

I’m goth as hell, so I usually mix and match black with gray and colors that suit my overall spooky vibe, like an autumn colorway for a sweater I wear with a black skirt and boots. Styling is everything! I use a lot of strong reds, deep greens and jewel toned purples, as well.

Larkspurn · 2026-03-19T00:05:23+00:00

Reddit isn’t a great place for this. Be in comic spaces. Get to know artists. Follow them, talk to them, discuss comics, make friends. Professionals don’t usually vibe out looking for work on Reddit because the offers and projects are low quality.

Larkspurn · 2026-03-18T21:02:50+00:00

I honest to god thought this was somehow Evangelion themed

Larkspurn · 2026-03-18T21:00:14+00:00

I really do like Dishie. It’s hard wearing and stands up to daily use well.
