New Tutorial Video
I just posted my second tutorial video! This one is about how I colour and shade my comics using Clip Studio Paint.
ALSO! I’ve put together another blooper reel for
Tier 2 patrons as well as
Tier 2 Twitch subs

I’ve updated some more stuff!
ALL game posts are now 1920 x 1080px sized for everyone! And for those who want even more pixels, there are new 4K options for
patrons and
Twitch subs (that’s 3840 x 2160px
) on game posts that have it available*.
*aka game posts that are 100% my own art and don’t have any official art in the background etc
I’ve also gone ahead and added custom backgrounds to game and art posts (again thanks to SuperTux for making that even possible!). These are just to make the desktop experience more immersive and better separates them from the comics.
I’ll be streaming a new game tomorrow
so follow me on Twitch to get notified!
The biggest update to the website has just landed. At first glance you might think it looks more-or-less the same (especially if you’re not browsing in dark mode), but actually EVERYTHING has improved in one way or another. Especially behind the scenes.
A massive thank you to SuperTux88 for making this possible and special thanks to Jamamp for all the help as well!
And also thank you to the community, for if it wasn’t for them getting together to surprise me with LoadedArtists for my 10th anniversary of doing this comic, SuperTux would never have realised how much better this site could be if it wasn’t using Wordpress.
Here’s a saved highlight from the stream where the new site gets launched and then I talk about all the changes and stuff.
It was 10 years ago* when I decided to start a webcomic called Loading Artist. *actually 10 years, 1 month, and 2 weeks ago
When I was thinking about what to write about for this occasion, I was initially considering something about how I didn’t expect to ever get this far and that I never thought I’d still be doing this week in week out etc etc.. but now that I think about it.. I think I’ve always known I’d still be here making these comics. It was my childhood dream after all (although technically my dream was to work for Jim Davis making Garfields, but eh close enough
).
However, there is one thing I did NOT expect with getting this far.
This. Amazing. Community.
For my birthday last year, the twitch/discord community got together in secret and planned a super extravagant digital birthday cake for me, with each layer being drawn by someone with inside jokes and touching messages. I was blown away.
And now for my 10 year anniversary, the community have once again COMPLETELY BLOWN ME AWAY and surprised me with THIS masterpiece:
LoadedArtists - a meticulously replicated website loaded with inside jokes and my comics REDRAWN BY THE COMMUNITY.
(press ctrl+shift+alt+6 to break the site. This site has more functionality than my current one!)
Even the store was targeted!
Thank you so much to everyone who took part in this. You are all so incredible.

And to top it all off, here is the one and only MarcMansfield with another amazing montage!
Thank you thank you thank you everyone! Here’s to the next 10 years.

.. aaaand we made it!
Time for another rewind where we look back on the year, pick our favourite comics, and visit the newest Hall of Memes! But FIRST I want to show off the latest incredible video montage made by none other than the legendary MarcMansfield:
I can’t even begin to imagine how long that must’ve taken to edit it all together. Thank you so much, Marc!
Next up it’s time to look back over this year’s archive and pick my four personal favourite comics!
Here they are in no particular order:
I used to pick five comics in the previous years, but then I found out Twitter only allows up to four images per tweet.. sooo if I were to pick a fifth, I think I’d pick Cool Move.
Alright now it’s time to visit the Hall of Memes! This is a collection of my favourite memes and things (as well as some fan art) that I’ve saved from our Twitch chat and Discord server over the year:
And if that wasn’t enough inside jokes to potentially confuse and alienate you, there’s also Hall of Memes 2019 (and 2018 (and 2017))!
Finally with this rewind I just want to say.. while I realize 2020 is probably most people’s worst year (yet
), looking back over all the comics that were made and all the memories in the Hall of Memes it was actually a really nice year for me in spite of everything, so thank you very much for being a part of it and for making it so.
I’ll be taking some time off before starting on new comics again, but in the meantime you can stay in touch by following me on: Twitch, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr, or /r/loadingartist! Or join the chat in our Discord server! Or become a patron and catch up on all the bonus panels/content you might’ve missed so far!
Thanks again, and see you in 2021!
