Again, thank you for being so kind!

How do you do all of these so quick? Have you been using whatever program for a while, Ech?
I use Paint Tool Sai (ImageReady for animating because I hate flash's finicky BS with a passion), which I think I've used it for three or four years roughly? Though just like how I've returned to Roleplaying after some time, I actually haven't drawn anything in Paint for a good while, which is why my tablet is slowly breaking and I have few nibs left. (Probably get a new one) As for how I do these quick, I actually don't.
Sadly, I never really pursued anything regarding art and just do it as a hobby, so I feel as if I'm missing out on a few fundamentals. I don't want people to think I'm that deft at drawing, nor am I as time-efficient as you might believe. Quite the contrary, in fact. I actually struggle a lot with coloring and always shudder at the idea of making backgrounds (notice how every BG is empty?). I can burn out pretty easily and I find myself procrastinating frequently, which is why I'm quite reclusive when it comes to streaming or dealing with commissions.
That said, I don't mind falling into the niche of drawing dumb gags like Blair being sprinkled with salt, a saucy threesome involving Cicaro, Goro and the Ursaring dad or Rina just burning everything, just to contribute a little something to the RP
until I finally get my rightful place as the designated sole protagonist. I think it's a little too much to expect me to make something coherent and extensive like Jauntier's comic strips. Geez, I actually remember the first time seeing that section and going "Wow, this GM is absolutely devoted to go as far as making these! And maps too?! I want to be as committed as him when I do stuff!".
I wish I was this inspired by people earlier in my life. Or I wish I just joined this place sooner.

Should I just make a section called "The Ech & Sketch"?
Assuming that's meant for the rhyming appeal, I think my name is actually pronounced EHHHCK and sounds more like a troll with strep-throat grunting at travelers out of spite rather than someone from New Jersey who tries to pronounce itch while severely intoxicated.
