A call for help from Atla done in the style of a cute Christmas Card. It has a starlight background, cute black dots in fun shapes and two rows of black squares jutting out on the top and bottom.

The text reads as follows
"I am opening up emergency editorial commissions!"
"If you're interested, contact me via email or DM"
"I edit Comics, Visual Novels, Prose Books, Pitches of all kinds, and More!"
"If you wanna help out in other ways, send this to a friend who might be interested!"
on the top right corner it says "Atla Hrafney, Editorial for Comics, Visual Novels and more!"
Along with her email (atlathewriter@outlook.com)

EMERGENCY!

Starting in January, my unemployment benefits will be withheld, so I am opening up emergency editorial commissions.

I've edited comics, visual novels and pitches of every kind for almost a decade now, including Eisner and Xeric-nominated projects!

Email or DM me for inquiries!

back when it was on twitter, i found my agent through DVPit!

It can be pretty hit or miss: i found that posting *early in the day* got the most eyes on it, but sometimes you post and nobody sees it. STILL, it was rewarding to just participate, to get my pitches out there in some small way

Page 1 of The Pirate and the Porcelain Girl. Ferra cries out, asking why the love of her life left, and admitting that she can't live without her. She begs for help, and her prayers are answered by a shining light.

Be careful what you wish for, especially if you just got dumped by the girl of your dreams and you'll do ANYTHING to get her back.

Sending love out to every author who learned that their publisherโ€™s marketing plan for their new book was to have an intern visit a remote woodland in winter, dig a hole in the frozen earth, and whisper their bookโ€™s title once, โ€˜neath the crescent moon.

I did some layout analysis for different comics, and then I figured theyโ€™d probably be helpful for other people too. Itโ€™s really interesting how cartoonists can use different methods to create a sense of subjectivity or wrongness or slow time.

Neglect by Joanna Cacao

Neglect by Joanna Cacao

What does neglect mean to you? The dictionary describes it as a failure of taking proper care over something. The most common neglect you'll see on a day to day basis is plant care.

Neglecting to water. Neglecting ample sunlight, or humidity. Neglecting to prevent pests, or disease.

But what does neglecting a person mean? On its surface it can mean basic needs... food, water, shelter. Which can all be physically painful.

Save Asโ†’psd & converting to CYMK is also close, but not the same as before either, so might as well export RGB to convert in PS after.... omfg im gonna go crazy

Exporting RGBโ†’converting to CMYK in PS is closest I can get, but the colors are still different from a year's worth of exporting. Flattened PSDs are close too. PSDs look the same in PS+CSP
Tried separating the pages from the .cmc files, copying layers into a new .csp file

Gonna reinstall CSP rn...
