    Have you posted about your workflow anywhere? I’m so curious what tools you use to capture that style. Especially the tapering at the end of strokes on your pixely brushes.

      There is this, but it might not be what you’re asking: https://analognowhere.com/unix_surrealism/

      As for the specifics, I use GIMP and a very cheap wacom tablet, because I am poor. Some of the more elaborate comics are story-boarded on paper and then recreated digitally. I don’t use anything fancy. It’s basically just the Pencil Tool. https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/21386623

      The fact that I can’t actually draw helps the aesthetic, I think.

        Your drawing style is especially relevant now as a visual defiance of the hyper-realistic (but soulless) style of “AI Art”.

        It all being done in GIMP is very thematic

          I just wish GIMP3 didn’t actively try to lobotomize me.

            You’re right, I should try out gimp and see how much pain it causes my krita/ps brain
