"Hey guys! Looking to add background cameos for some upcoming scenes that'll involve a restaurant, bar, and train.

What I'm looking for:

-Character has to be human.

-Character has to be 21+.

-Character has to wear regular clothes. As in no armor or space suits, just something you'd see an every day person wearing.

-Character has to have a normal hairstyle. As in no Yugioh-type hairstyles, something that'll blend in and not stand out. 


Of course I'll credit you for any appearances if I use your character. :D


If you're interested, feel free to send me a Personal Quack with a reference image.

JohnCelestri’s Take on Alternative Comics

“Hi,



I'd like to share a video I've posted on my YouTube channel, giving my take on what is an Alternative Comic.



Best,


JohnCelestri”


VIDEO: Alternative Cartoonist Episode One

“What are Alternative Comics? An Alternative Comic pokes a creative finger in the eye of Mainstream Norms.

Drunk Duck creator and comic theme music composer, Gunwallace, created the background music that JohnCelestri used in the video. Titled “Bloodwing Fire Fist Angel Music Theme”, Gunwallace created it specifically as my comic's theme music.

John Celestri uses his Bloodwing Fire Fist Angel comic as an example of an Alternative Comic.”

Bluesky Social Media Platform Migration

“Given the new X (formerly known as twitter) updates where all tweets and art will be scraped for AI training without the capacity to opt out, I urge as many DDers as possible to simply leave the app, preferably in a way that empties out your account of its content. The DD twitter account of course will stay up BUT there won't be any more content posted. The #quackchat WILL NOT continue to broadcast at X (formerly known as twitter). It will instead be over at Blue Sky.



Blue Sky is more than equal to X (formerly known as twitter) and blowing up right now. It has one of the most robust webcomics and arts communities I've seen in a while!



If you want to join DD there (I have already made a starter pack for mutual following of DDers on Blue Sky) find us at https://bsky.app/profile/theduckwebcomics.bsky.social! Hope to see you at the #quackchat there on Sunday!”
