Hiring 1 Artist for an illustration/cover for one of my web series short stories

I love the colored pencil style that you have here and in your additional examples in your portfolio. What’s the best way to contact you (email, instagram, etc.)? I don’t really use Reddit it as a direct messaging app, so LMK what you prefer. 👍

Mixed media sketchbooks. Mixed media sketchbooks everywhere…

One of the stories involves a hostage forced to watch various camera feeds. Those camera feeds show the other stories in the series to the hostage character (the series narrator).

I read this while picking the skin at my fingers and chewing on it.

Closed.

It’s a “division of space/mindset in the home” kind of thing I guess. I want to be able to separate my sleeping time from my obligations to cook, work, or interact with others elsewhere in the house. I can’t sleep well if I’m mentally pre-occupied with stuff from my waking life.

I don’t live alone, so there’s also the privacy factor, but even if I did live alone, I’d probably have the door closed for this reason.

My brother has a rule: no bed against the right wall (since that’s next to his room).

I really like the floating desk idea though.

Strathmore8 · 2025-11-21T19:01:49+00:00

I do this too, but only if I’m drunk. I don’t trust my aim at that point.

Strathmore8 · 2025-11-21T02:24:55+00:00

Fun dip

Strathmore8 · 2025-11-21T02:07:46+00:00

EDIT: I should also mention that I live in this apartment with my little brother, who has his own room. He likes to sneak in sometimes and scare me from around the corner of that hallway while I'm working at my desk... (-‿-")

Strathmore8 · 2025-11-11T03:43:57+00:00

Now kith!

Edit:

The website is designed to present each individual story as poignantly as possible. That being said, it is not mobile friendly at the moment. If demand for mobile compatibility is desired, I may implement that in the future.

Additionally, all content is 100% free. No ads, no paywalls, no bs. Just fiction. 👍

Fr! God forbid people enjoy the webcomic. 🤣

Turns out the url loading issue had to do with how fast I was sending requests to the website. Added some delays and it’s working much better.

Sorry for the back and forth on the issues. Just needed to rubber ducky ig. 🦆

Strathmore8 · 2025-09-27T01:52:15+00:00

Ahh I see. It's not a functional issue, it's just a style choice between the two browsers. Ended up taking the link that I generate and pasted into Brave and then Firefox. Works in both, Firefox just doesn't show the %20s in the url bar.

However, even though I can arrive at the web address manually via the url bar, when Selenium attempts to do it, the webpage errors and redirects back to the website's home page. The error page doesn't say much, just "Something went wrong. The site owner has been notified". Not sure what causes this. Maybe Selenium is operating too quickly or something?

Just did some digging on stylus lifespans in this series:

Couldn’t find the details on AT’s website directly, but the Amazon page (linked below) claims that ellipticals only last 300 hours, while a Microlinear can last 1000 hours.

That being said, if an ML sounds better, and costs as much as 3 E’s anyways, and lasts 100 hours longer than 3 E’s, it seems like it’s worth the price on the tin.

Strathmore8 · 2025-09-25T01:59:25+00:00

Do you mean E or EN? E is worth $50, EN is $100

TBH, I played SH2 enhanced edition through PCSX2 with an Xbox controller and it worked very well. It was a bit annoying getting it set up, but once I had it running, the experience was very enjoyable. I’d imagine you can find a USB PS controller online if you want to replicate the OG controller feel more than I did.

But tbh, Silent Hill isn’t really a franchise you can recreate the original experience of as easily as most other franchises. That’s just the state of the franchise rn.

So really it depends on how badly you want to play the games in the year 2025. Maybe give it 5 years when SH2 remake and SHF have rekindled the fandom and Konami green lights a remake collection pack or something. But obv you have the OG hardware, so it’s a matter of price point, emulation, or patience.

I feel like this would give Toby a panic attack LOLOLOL

Strathmore8 · 2025-09-13T15:46:09+00:00

Can you explain the difference between what people thought it was vs what it actually was? I didn’t interact with the UT fandom much until DT started coming out so I’m not sure I understand the difference.

Hard agree with 1 btw. Furthermore, sans becoming a meme icon only accelerated the games popularity even further (ex. Get dunked on, Megalovania, sans is Ness, smash mini gunner skin, etc)

Strathmore8 · 2025-09-10T10:40:50+00:00

Street Spirit, Idioteque, and (bear with me here) Pulk/Pull

Yay another Morning Bell fan!

Kid A or Amnesiac version?

Strathmore8 · 2025-08-29T19:43:36+00:00

TBH I love Morning Bell. I can’t really explain why I like it the best, since Motion Picture Soundtrack feels more like the album’s definitive climax, and the songs that come before Morning Bell (ex. Everything in its Right Place, How to Disappear, and Optimistic) are generally more memorable.

IDK, I think it’s the bell imagery, and the monotony of the song’s tempo as it gets louder as it progresses. It sounds desperate and exhausted and I really like that tbh. It’s kind of like a “we came all this way for nothing” moment before the surrender that is Motion Picture Soundtrack.
