@Phil-Cullen thanks! So many ways to look at things. Maybe responses aren't standard like I'd hoped LoL..at least I'm figuring out how to respond. Thanks for the reply

@Basil-Godevenos To me, most of those would be acceptable for kids, I grew up on harsh stuff and was taught to separate fantasy from reality and such.. Some parents might not like some of those.

Tapas would be the best platform for kids work as it is purely comics, and the mature section is separated. Instagram is a cesspool of everything, not as bad as twitter though. I could see parents installing tapas as it's pretty safe viewing. Could always post on other sites and link to tapas to try and funnel traffic.

Ah I didn't read about the 35 jobs in a year thing...that is super lame. I am sure that there will be less work just because companies don't want to deal with the paperwork. 😞

@danielerossi I’m sorry to hear you’ve had to go through this, but I’m so relieved to hear that the site has helped you.

@xin-li @Rapteev I'm also interested in SCBWI UK conference if you find out any information I would love to know. will be following this thread.

Ah ok great thanks that's some good starting places.

Doug TenNapel has some videos on story planning for comics/graphic novels. https://youtu.be/XUGxTu-2y4M

@Joni-Nemeth wow! But I guess I'm not surprised. I'm a writer and artist and earn money from both; sometimes I see payment within 30 days, but sometimes it takes too long. My latest magazine article was approved for publication October 2018 and is going to print January 2020 with payment following. Leanin' Tree greeting card licensing royalty checks can take over a year to go out after the designs are contracted/approved.

@davidhohn I've watched up to the first exercise so far and I've already learned to recognize perspective where I wouldn't have seen it before. So far, so good!

@Braden-Hallett cheers Braden

That's right, sometimes things can turn out different than we expect @NessIllustration .

I'll see what happens in this case. Thanks!

@jdubz @baileymvidler This! This so much!! Recurring contracts are a really great way to start. It can be slow to start getting work from publishers and build a client list. When I started I had a few recurring contracts like this - places that would send me some work every month, and booyyy did it take the pressure off! A good chunk of my income each month was already covered, leaving me only 10-15% to cover by finding additional contracts each month. Now after a year and a half I have been able to drop all but one of these recurring contracts, but it still brings some stability to my budget each month. It's a really great way to start!

@Laurel-Aylesworth awesome!!! great news!

😞 It is such a great piece. Would be neat if they did a short vid critique of your piece and add it onto the end of the slowvember critique when posting to the critique arena.

@Laura-Brown Sent you a private message. Check that and get back to me. : )

I suggest you to choose the best booklet design for your book printing because the way to you print your booklet is very beneficial for you.

@sigross Awesome! Thanks!

I had an idea yesterday for an image, but it doesn't fit the #Advent_challenge prompts and it's still very vague. After I finish organizing my life a bit post-Slowvember, I'll decide between the Advent challenge and developing my idea, and then I'll post the results! Thanks for your feedback and I'll look forward to seeing what you guys decide to do as well!

@Braden-Hallett Yep, I have been confused about sizing because I did a bunch of research, some designers said 600dpi, others 400dpi and others 300dpi. This is a new venture I've been planning all yearand am finally about to jump in.🙂

@Coreyartus pool noodle! I love it!
