aight i’m accepting it. i gave my dumb ass carpal tunnel

i been trying to dodge the diagnosis for years but im in too much pain every day to keep ignoring it. luckily i have a good foundation of practicing with my left hand so im gonna keep pursuing that (can't keep the dog down man. i love drawing way too much) but my art is slowing down SIGNIFICANTLY as a result of it.... just thought i'd mention it in case you wonder where i'm at. i wanna draw more than the sun wants to burn but it just hurts a lot rn..... WOOF!

Do u have any advice abt streamlining ur drawing style for comics? I’ve been spending upwards of like 6 hrs on my pages and they’re really really good but i’m dying. It’s rlly hard to turn off my illustrator brain

y'know, i think my biggest streamlining advice is to make your primary focus of each panel the truest thing that matters when you draw it. like if the point you're trying to convey in a panel is how one specific character is feeling, then try to only focus on conveying the single characters expression. make the entire point of the panels existence good and clear while EVERYTHING else is allowed to look worse (background, other characters, detailed clothes, rougher linework, whatever it is.) if it doesn't contribute to the purpose of the panel then just let it look a little worse.

this also applies if the focus of a panel is something more elaborate and difficult like scenery. if you're showing a bustling city and you want to convey that busy energy, you don't need crisp looking hordes of background extras. there just need to be a lot of them, blurry and weird looking but a lot of them. no need to also spend time meticulously crafting complicated buildings and bushes unless you're trying very hard to say something about those buildings and bushes too! pick and choose your hour long battles.

your readers are only going to look at each panel for like 3 seconds tops anyway, so really, to me, the efficiency in communicating the purpose behind the panel matters a lot more than how good it looks.

also something else to think about is that sometimes your art being unpolished and "worse" is actually better. sometimes a less polished panel that is only polished where it needs to be adds something to the page that a completely pristine and polished 100+ hour page never could.

hope that helps!! good luck brave comic warrior

Any plans to/thoughts about releasing STBU in a physical print format at some point?

at some point i'd really like to! i'd have to figure out a LOT of formatting stuff (videos, gifs, etc) but i think it'd be worth it. definitely don't have capacity for it right now but eventually, YES.
