Attention @Palk Áron 2002 , @Gatordragon , @RandomMe , @superkeegan9100 , @Sam the Cartoonist , @stephane dumas , and anyone else on the Drawing Board who wants to participate!
After my health scare of chest pains, I have decided to post every issue of Gilda And Meek at my site. In doing so, I pimped the site at Daily Kos, the blog I frequent. Because of my persistence and plugging, the diary made the "rec list" (the Recommended List) a showcase of popular Daily Kos diaries that people check out and comment on. It got 112 Recommends (a fair share) and a lot of views too, I'm guessing. Either way, traffic at my site increased a LOT, just in time to prove to Google Ad-Sense that it's NOT a dead site (although they still haven't gotten back to me yet on if they'll allow ads on the site. )
Here is a link to the diary in question:
I want to do another diary, except this time I want to showcase the cartoonists at Anime Superhero. Not just the people, I tagged (who are the most recent active artists on the board) but ANYONE who has a thread here. What I need from you:
1. Your permission! Duh!
2. I want a drawing or picture to represent your work. Here's mine.
Neat! Next, post yours in this thread. If you makes banners like @Palk Áron 2002 , the only thing I ask is that you submit a banner that contains original artwork by you. For clarification: Fan art is totally allowed. But the picture in question must contain a picture of a character or object that you have drawn yourself. It doesn't have to be your own character but it has to have come from your own hand, and not copied and pasted.
3. A blurb by you describing you and your artwork. It can be up to three paragraphs long and I will post it in the diary.
4. (Optional) An web address link to any and all sites that showcase your artwork (Deviant Art, Instagram, Patreon, Tapas, Web Toons etc.). For Patreon, Tapas, and Web Toons users this could be handy, and get you more traffic and income. If you don't HAVE an outside website for your art, don't fret! I will link to your most recent thread in The Drawing Board. I plan to link to everyone who opts in's threads in The Drawing Board too (unless you nix that).
5. (Optional) I am going to add a page on My Site showcasing "Other Artists I Like" and will put the link to it on my Front Page. Because this is MY site, I will use some discretion here. I will pimp EVERYTHING in the Daily Kos diary, but I ask that your artwork not be TOO offensive for me to showcase on my site. Keep in mind that my comic appeals to women and liberals, so misogyny, homophobia, and racism will be frowned upon. Also keep in mind that Daily Kos is a Democratic Blog, so that stuff probably won't fly there either. Opt in below if you'd liked to be showcased on my site.
6. (SUPER OPTIONAL). I also will do a post on the two other sites I frequent ( Action Figure Insider and Dreamwidth ) linking the Daily Kos diary. Be warned, there is little traffic on my Dreamwidth journal (but it couldn't hurt). AFI is also currently going through a slow spot, but you'll get a few views there too.
I'm keeping the Opt-In period for this thread open for about a week and will start working on the Daily Kos diary the week after. Again if Daily Kos or my site is NOT your jam, that's fine. But you'll get a ton of eyeballs from Kos readers at least. When it is posted, I will post the link in this thread.
@Gatordragon has already agreed to participate, but I do need a representative picture and blurb from him too.
Also, two other things to keep in mind:
1. I will ask Kos commenters to keep their comments supportive and constructive, as you guys will be reading the thread. They will almost certainly oblige. If you are scared of negative feedback, or people being mean about your art in a public space that a lot of people will see, I got your back.
2. I will also be using that thread in the same way I'm using THIS one, and asking Kos cartoonists to PM me if they want to participate in something similar.
Please opt-in below with your permission, a piece of representative art, a blurb, and a site link to your artwork or your Drawing Board Thread. You can also add your permission to post your stuff on Gilda And Meek And The Un-Iverse, my journal on Dreamwidth, and / or Action Figure Insider. What say you all?

I'm putting myself out there.
Some of you all know I have made my own comic book and site. gildaandmeekandtheuniverse.blogspot.com/... I had a health scare recently. The plan for the site was to put the first 34 issues on it, and once I was finished with all 90 issues to take them...
