I think instead of the color wheel you need the color pentagram app

Big news! I’m kicking off MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: GENESIS, with the dream team of @gavinpsmith.bsky.social and @porrafabi.bsky.social - delving into Eternia’s past, and the dark origins of the one and only SKELETOR!!! Out this August from @darkhorse.com! www.slashfilm.com/2153404/mast...
I think for sure Tina uses a bit of eye of newt or wing of bat in her work.
To add to that, all of our physical Issues come WITH digital versions. And I think a lot of KS creators do that. Which we forget about when pricing. The comic at the shop that you pay $5 for doesn't include a PDF. If you buy that too, now it's an $8-9 cost vs a $10-12. So... not that different.
All of her work is hand drawn in pencil on art paper. It's really magic to be making a comic this way.
And here's the variant cover.
TWO DAYS LEFT WE ARE SO CLOSE ✨🔥💀!!!!
The other thing to remember about indie/ KS comics, most are low print runs printed on 80lb interiors with plus cover stock.
Your 22 page copy of Spider-Man… if it had those specs with a limited 500 copy print run, would have a retail price of $50+ easy, as it would be a coveted collectible.
Hi comic creators and readers 👋
How much would you expect to pay for an indie, self published single issue these days? (22-24 pages)
Keep in mind: indies aren’t Marvel or DC - large pubs can afford to charge less due to other revenue they make.
What do you think? 🤔
Shares appreciated ❤️
My kickstarter pricing usually falls in the following ranges:
22-24 pages $12-14
28-32 pages $14-16
36-40 pages $18-20
44-56 pages $20-22
Variant covers $5-10 more.
I’d say I’m on the average to low average for KS.
(All plus shipping)
Friends, our Dan Dare graphic novel Kickstarter campaign is just 40 hours from ending. It would be incredible if you could help us one last time by reposting our Kickstarter post it would really help us cross the finish line in style!
Did a surprise variant cover just show up in my inbox?
Yes it did.
Was it stunning and totally made my evening?
Yes it did.
I love making comics with people like @tinaisoladesign.bsky.social

In Effort To Save Money, Publisher Fires Person Tasked With Selling The Product
"One in the hand is worth two in the comic shop", a spokesperson said when asked for comment on the very sensical decision. "We'd rather hold on to the money we have than try to make more of it by selling more comics"
If you are in the New York City area of this planet, please come to Midtown Comics Grand Central THIS Wednesday to pick up your copy of STAR WARS: ECHOES OF THE EMPIRE #1 and get it signed by the writer (me)!
The saga is so epic, it drew (ahem) TWO amazing artists — Jethro Morales & Roi Mercado…1/2
Hi there! Some news, but as of this morning, I am no longer with Mad Cave. I am eternally grateful for the past 4.5 years with you all, and with such an amazing team.
Thank you so much for trusting me with marketing your books!
I will miss the team at Mad Cave and wish them continued success. I am going to take the day and collect myself, but if you hear of any opportunities, please let me know. Keep making comics and stories. We need them now more than ever. XO
Hey folks, after nearly 4 years at Mad Cave, I was let go this morning. It was a wonderful time getting to work with an amazing list of creators. If we have worked together, please stay in touch. I am available for freelance editing and would love to work with you all in the future.
James is an incredible editor and would be an asset anywhere. 💜

Dan Dare: First Contact graphic novel from @b7comics.bsky.social PB cover by @westonfront.bsky.social
Looks EPIC! So glad I’m backing this.
Glarien's latest unpopular opinion is that no one needs to read her new adventure. Join the 700 backers who are excited to prove her wrong. www.kickstarter.com/projects/whi...
So here’s the thing...
This is such an underappreciated thing.
And the sincerity is the secret sauce. Connections shouldn't be a career intent. It should be a community intent. Be sincere, make friends.
Not just comics. Anywhere. Anything.
Everywhere. Everything.
