Here's the official CSP news page.

Don't panic. Clip Studio is NOT becoming the next Adobe.

To quickly explain this in a bit more digestible way:

The whole cycle continues like this with new versions in the future.

Please understand that CSP, just like Tumblr, needs money to continue existing. Don't boycott them, they are trying to stay afloat while still being as user friendly as they can.

Besides you don't even need all the newest features, the program works fantastic as it is.

Ceramic ferret commission for @tsundernova!

Her name is Gnocchi <3

I commissioned Becky a little while ago for this lil sweetheart and I love her 🥺 Gnocchi sits on my desk and gazes at me at work. 100% recommend a ceramic commission like this from Becky, she makes the sweetest little creatures, a total pro!! A great gift idea for others too!

[ID: A multi-panel line-art comic of characters from the podcast The Magnus Archives. The first panel features Martin, a tall, broad-shouldered white man, who is wearing a short-sleeved button-down and round glasses, thinking “Jon is a grown man who does not need my help.” In the second panel, Jon - a brown-skinned man wearing a long-sleeved button-down and an inside-out sweater vest walks past him, yawning and saying “Good morning, Martin”, while Martin looks on in astonishment. The third panel features Martin in the foreground, rubbing his eyes and thinking “His jumper is inside out…” while in the background Tim, a tall, thin man says “lol, nice fashion statement boss” to which Jon, now sitting at his desk, replies “what?”. The next three panels show Martin stepping up behind Jon who is working, grabbing his sweater vest and yoinking it over his head, Jon screams “Help, I’m under siege!” in reply before his further protests are muffled by Martin shoving the now turned outside-out sweater vest back down over his head. The last panel features a cartoonish version of Jon with his hair, glasses and collar in disarray, clutching a steaming mug of tea with a confused ellipsis next to him. The Artist’s signature reading “Mava2020″ is visible in the bottom right hand corner /end ID]

[ID: Mostly grayscale art of Elias looming menacingly over a kneeling and crying Martin. The POV looks up from below Martin. Only one of Elias’ eyes is visible, with the other behind an opaque glasses lens, and it is golden and surrounded by a gold flare. He says, “The resemblance is quite uncanny. The face of the man she hates, who destroyed her life, watching over her, feeding her, cleaning her. Looking down on her with such pity.” Martin’s eyes are very small and also golden, and his head is surrounded by a similar golden flare. Elias continues, “You want to know what she sees when she looks at you?” The dot of the question mark is an eye. End ID]

The meow-gnus archives was a podcast 

i didnt know what a lemon demon spirit phone was before but i definitely do now 

[ID: Art of Jon Sims, a thin brown man with short hair, holding the Admiral, a light-colored cat. The background is dark green and the lighting is dim, making both of their eyes gleam an unnerving bright yellow as they look directly at the viewer. End ID]

“One fresh brewed cup… Enjoy”

Also hey sorry this is my first update in ages on this blog, I came down with tendinitis/RSI/cubital tunnel at the end of July and I’ve only been able to draw again recently :’^) I’m still not quite healed yet but doing a lot better. I’ve missed drawing so much.

When I Was Me: Moments of Gender Euphoria now on Kickstarter!

Quindrie Press’ new book When I Was Me: Moments of Gender Euphoria has just launched on Kickstarter! When I Was Me is a collection of autobiographical comics about the joyful experiences of transgender people, edited once again by Eve Greenwood and Alex Assan. 

The book has gorgeous cover art by C. A. P. Ward, is fully designed by Spire Eaton, includes 9 original poems by Harry Josephine Giles, and features over 70 trans people in a mix of comic artists, illustrators, and story contributors.

We are offering backers the option to buy additional copies to be donated to Books Beyond Bars UK, a collective that distributes books and literature to queer people in prison, and 50% of all post-campaign sales of the book will be donated to organisations that support young trans people in the UK.

It’s a truly beautiful book and has been a wonderful project to work on. We’ve reached nearly 50% of the goal and it hasn’t even been 24 hours yet, thank you so much for your support!

Buy the book here!
