Forlorn Knights - Darksome Arising (and more ongoingly) is available on NamiComi (and GlobalComix). https://t.co/4AbDLPvFzh . For any news, NamiComi is the mainpage. I've always wished to support indies more and provide entertainment for readers, this is the place for it so far.

Ordering stickers for the upcoming Petro Patriot campaign. This is flattering, but you know I'm not skipping proofing.

[David Schmelling @Brollonks]

@Pirat_Nation It's completely normal to happen during the editing of assets. Illustrators and Designers work a very long time each day so that these oversights are bound to happen at some point.

@MaisonManga Dann habe ich wohl (und weiterhin) eine Anime Geschichte gelebt, Sachen gibt's. 😆

[PetroPatriot @PetroPatriot]

The Union wants the secret buried, mutant savages are shaky friends at best, and a mysterious cult of Entropy knows too much about Derelict Tower.

But for Michael Albright, the PETRO PATRIOT, charging through it all is just part of the job in this industrial sci-fi adventure!

Cover reveal for 🇺🇸🛢️#PetroPatriot🛢️🇺🇸

This Danger Diamond cover by @Brollonks captures this story of heroes, villains, and outliers battling over the truth of INCIDENT ZERO, when operators of a secret weapons program drilled into the LAKE OF FIRE and set the world ablaze!

[David Schmelling @Brollonks]

@myheroacademia All Might is my favourite hero! I loved his armoured battle!

Once my budget for entertainment is refilled - more eurocomics will be bought. I do hope other entertainment industries, such as videogames, will realize that people think three times now before they make a decision, given how expensive and customer unfriendly things became.

@MugenLord 2/2 My point being, do you know the game Urban Chaos? (Attaching an image of the maincharacter) It's what would be considered bad nowadays - it is from 1999. The conflict, whether one or the other side, itself is a fallacy. You're right - that so called culture war is nonsense.

[David Schmelling @Brollonks]

@MugenLord Most importantly is to keep in mind that the entire conflict is having no sides to take (there is only a losing end). See what it did - one end now claims it is bad to have a regular character design of not having a woman hang all of her assets into the breeze. 1/2

[David Schmelling @Brollonks]

@MrX_UNI Sorry it happened to you. Keeping fingers crossed you'll find a new door opens very soon.

[David Schmelling @Brollonks]

@MugenLord It'd be a huge improvement. A lot more exciting if not able to foresee, "Oh, new enemy wave in this room", for all the conveniently turned tables and bits of debris or columns. It's what I admittedly liked about Resident Evil 2 Remake, the environment was eerie and natural.

[David Schmelling @Brollonks]

@MugenLord I mean for example, I've found the 2nd game back then way too linear. It was obvious when enemy-waves come in once plenty of obvious hiding spots were visible in an area. Part 3 felt better. I'd hope for level design that feels natural, not like a stage. What do you think?

[David Schmelling @Brollonks]

The comic Petro Patriot is coming closer every day now. Soon we can talk more about it! What you will see in the first book is only a glimpse of what we already designed years ahead. Check out @PetroPatriot for more info to come soon!

@sainimatic @mattworkman Honestly, the best for me was Design Academy. "Don't be an artist" was the motto. As a designer, approaching "Design follows function", no matter what you do in a creative field, there is no 'struggle of the artist', nor is there a wrong tool when learning the fundamental skills.

[David Schmelling @Brollonks]

@sainimatic @mattworkman It reminds at old times: digital art, ABR brushes were cheating, and now photobashing and 3D, etc. are completely alright (they were never wrong). These thoughts limit efficiency. It's all about working smart. If one struggles with deadlines, it's the wrong tool for production.

[David Schmelling @Brollonks]

@PetroPatriot It'll be fun most of all, there is so much we yet can't talk about. 😆

[PetroPatriot @PetroPatriot]

🇺🇸🛢️ @PetroPatriot 🛢️🇺🇸 Logo reveal!

Our gas-powered hero is gonna light up your summer as he lights up City 3 in a 68-page dystopian sci-fi action comic!

Tune in here for news as we prepare for launch!

[David Schmelling @Brollonks]

@CatalyticComics @storyandplot The motto is: Write (or create) what you know. A work of fiction tells more about the creator than one might think if starting out, but the more we work in the profession, the more we can see it.

[David Schmelling @Brollonks]

@kishico I am certain of it! 😄
