RE: [The Cycle of Creativity]
Thank you so much! <33
Expressions are my favorite part LOL ;3
And yeah, I think the lines are a bit neater on this than they normally are - probably helped that I drew it at too low of a dpi at first, so I had to re-trace it all over again XDD
I noticed some mistakes that had slipped past me the first time, so it looks better now LOL
In other news, I alway forget to mention - for the longest time, I thought your icon was a super awesome creepy jack-o-lanturn. When I saw it big, like, "up-close" for the first time, I was like "OH. IT'S A DRILL. Drilling into some tiki(?) guy's head."
And for some reason, instead of going like "wow that's creepy", I was like "So it's a... catharsis drill. You're punny :3c"

I think your lines are neat in general. You really should try to make some more finished comics... Before I began making Phill from GCHQ I was planning a dark fantasy comic.
You can see some concept drawings here - here - and here
I used a lot of time planning and making up all kinds of complex choices. I wanted it to be able to print in just two pantone colours the overlay making black (or close to black) I also wanted the story to be tight and as it was based on a pen & paper roleplaying game I made (and remade) a lot of page break-downs... they all disappeared a weekend where my wife's family was visiting us. They are all so clean and tidy and page-breakdowns don't even look like doodles, so I suspect one of them to have thrown them out.
Then I posted the three pages I had made of Phill from GCHQ on Diaspora and people was positive... and then I just continued. It has become a complex story in itself and I am soon ready for making it as an album...
So maybe one of my painter colleagues is right when he says: I make a fast sketch on the canvas, and then i start in one corner and fill out ...everything.
As for the Katharsisdrill symbol it was made on a whim. I found the drill and the golden galvanisation made me think of Golden Inca masks... I did it for my Bandcamp page, but then I also used it as a pseudonym.
But now it has become a thing for me. I even made this selfportrait
