After that last post, I started getting  some strange followers from outside the target audience. o-o

Might have to do with that post being tagged #follower milestone post.

What if someone were to copy your style?

Sue the massive shit out of them. >:c

Actually no. I’d be fine with it.

I don’t own the style, nor did I come up with it. Tons of people use a lineless style. Maybe the way I use it is different, but that’s pretty much it.

Do you remember how/when you came up with your current artstyle? Like, what did you notice about how you could change around your lines and color to make what you have on Post-Crusade now? It's fairly interesting, is why I'm asking.

I started using it over a year ago. July 15, 2012 to be exact.

It was mostly experimental. I was looking for ways to draw comics faster and change poses easily. The result was a puppet-like figure that could have its body parts moved with ease because they were on independent layers. Lines went away because they added more layers, and it looked cools without lines.

The style evolved as I started drawing more influences for some of my old childhood picture books and also South Park.

I hear that steak sauce goes great with shoe.

I dunno if other people do this…

I don’t like nuking the mod-blog inbox because some of these messages hold a sentimental value to me and I just don’t want to lose them.

All this support in my ups and downs in my life is simply amazing and I really can’t thank you guys enough for it.

On a less sappy note, some of these are still answerable, so I might as well answer them.
