I did it! I made successful homemade ice cream! The strawberry is more successful than the chocolate one which was my second attempt. Here's how it is supposed to go for picture perfect ice cream at home every time with no need for a churner.
First, you need 2 cups (16 oz) worth of lactose free 35% whipping cream (it's fluffier), 1 can of condensed milk, 1 tsp of vanilla and whatever extra flavors you want.
1- Mix the whipping cream on high until it is fluffy and stiff like the whipped cream from a can (this takes about 2 to 3 minutes).
2- In a side bowl, mix the condensed milk, vanilla and any other flavor you want. If you're going for plain vanilla, put in 1tbsp.
3- Pour the condensed milk mix into the whipped cream and slowly mix it my hand with a spatula until full incorporated.
4- Pour the ice cream mix into a large air tight tupperware and knock the air bubbles out of it.
5- Close it tight and let it freeze overnight.
6- Let it stand out at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes, then scoop and serve.
If you are going for an ice cream with chunky pieces like cookies, chocolate chunks and such, make sure they are cut very finely to not injure a tooth.
If you are going for a chocolate or caramel or etc. ripple, incorporate the syrup at the end and stir with a long skewer just enough to spread not mix.
Trust me, this is way better than store bought and way healthier.

Everyone, it is official. After I finish Psychoborg, my main creative focus will be writing novels first and comics second and comic strips only: https://youtu.be/4Ym2urtWrbc
PS: I am still going to do that collab plot driven comic too, but that's the exception.

Happy Mermay! This year, it is my fan version of Orion and Ariel Pax (Pretenders) as a mercouple. I was going for romantic and beautiful. And yes, the insignia on Orion's shoulder has a moustache and eye patch.
love this!
Remember... better to try writing/drawing consistently even if you find yourself not liking what you made and doing it over, than to not stay on course. It's ok to have face an art block. You tried. Now take a break and try again tomorrow.
You know what needs to make a comeback in fiction? NOT explaining everything. Like how back in the day, the Force was never explained and neither was magic or the origin of the Xenomorph. It's fiction. A certain amount of mystery makes it better. It's a like a joke, when you explain it, it dulls it.
Your comic pages do not need to be as detailed or as showstopping as the cover or chapter covers for your comic. It is ok for style of the content itself to be simple because you want to finish your project at one point. Even big corpo comic artists do this. You're not lazy. It's wise to not want to burn yourself out.
Absolutely agreed (and yet it’s a lesson I need to learn). Some of the most successful comics ever were simple line drawings. Look at Peanuts, for example.
Here is this week's video which discusses how to make reboots, sequels, spin off and reimaginings better: https://youtu.be/Rgd_zC7P5_k
Everyone, I am very sorry and VERY embarrassed to say that this video was taken down because... I just realized I had the mic off the whole time meaning it is just 14 minutes of silence. I am so sorry.
Aww, that's ok. It happens. Looking forward to the new link!
