I'd like to make friends.

i don't really have a lot of friends who are comic artists and those i do have, i treasure so very dearly. i'd love to meet more people, especially smaller LGBT creators. maybe we can check out each others stuff and talk about it. idk. i don't really do this kind of thing often but i figured i'd stick my neck out. anyway. i'm nico. :-)

Hi Nico! Happy to meet you and excited to read your work :D

I have a similar difficulty putting myself out there, so I'm already proud of you for making the leap!
(edit: my real name is Brendan lol)

YAS FRIENDS, I love making friends too! I'm NonBinary myself and I'm glad to see you here. I like the discord for that reason, I can be active there if I'm really feeling it, or hang out and lurk. lmao I know the feel!

@HellToBreakfast hey brendan! it's super cool to meet you! :D thanks so much for checking out my stuff! i'm gonna give your stuff a peek as well now that i'm home from work. have you been on GC long?

@ArtCrumbs i get a little anxious about joining big discords tbh but i definitely get the allure about it. maybe if i get brave enough .. lol. i did notice the forums here are kind of quiet so i'm not surprised there'd be more activity in the server.

@swordheart A couple of weeks, loving it so far, having a good time :D

portocor posted Jul 6, 2022

@HellToBreakfast i've only been here a few days so far so still figuring things out! excited to get my stuff out there, stressed at how long it'll take .. LOL but it'll be worth it, i'm sure! :3

Why not join the discord server? There's lots of people to meet!

portocor posted Jul 8, 2022

@NinaDAberlein mostly a little weird about joining big servers like that! maybe eventually i'd be able to socialize on a bigger scale like that but idk. i'd have to work up the nerve.

Hi Nico! I know I’m late to this convo but I’m an aroace non-binary creator and my comic is 90% queer characters! (Except the explicitly picked cishet) I’d love to have someone to chat with abt our comics one on one!

portocor posted Jul 10, 2022

@BaronVonDC ohh omg! how did you like it? it just came out, right?

portocor posted Jul 10, 2022

@EarltheSquirrelofFlorenc oh yeah, for sure! that sounds great. how long have you been working on comics?

portocor posted Jul 10, 2022

btw, i hope everyone is having a great day today. :-)

BaronVonDC posted Jul 10, 2022

I liked it. I had heard quite a bit of criticism of the movie prior... and I understand the criticism... but I liked it. To be honest, I personally think people put way too much expectations on movies lately.

portocor posted Jul 10, 2022

@BaronVonDC yeah, i've seen mostly mixed reviews so far. i'm glad you enjoyed it though! i feel like with movies you kind of have to just take them for what they are. if you don't a certain type of movie, don't go watching it too. a lot of people watch stuff knowing they aren't gonna like it and then go on to complain about it and it's so dumb. i'm not a huge fan of marvel personally so i don't really watch them because i already know i'm not gonna enjoy them, you know what i mean?

27squorlsinatrenchcoat posted Jul 10, 2022

@swordheart , I’ve been writing for years but I’ve only been working on comics for a few months but I almost have my entire first chapter uploaded here.

portocor posted Jul 10, 2022

@EarltheSquirrelofFlorenc that's so cool! if you ever have any questions or maybe need some advice, you can feel free to reach out! :3 the first couple of years is tricky business. you're gonna see your art grow a lot and faster than ever before. it's kind of crazy but in an awesome way.

27squorlsinatrenchcoat posted Jul 10, 2022

@swordheart thanks! I might want some feedback about my script or layouts. Would you wanna trade socials so that we can communicate more efficiently?

portocor posted Jul 11, 2022

@EarltheSquirrelofFlorenc sure! do you have discord? i can DM you my username.

I know I'm a bit late, but it's nice to meet you! I'm KOI! I like to do art a ton, and I also like to write dialogue. Even though I'm not too good at it lol. Idk, there's just something so fun about writing and illustrating weird and wacky character interactions. I love it a lot. I'm also part of the LGBTQ+ community :D
