Ivanhoe finally gets physical affection from Marina, but it's DEFINITELY not the way he wanted that to happen.

I'm a certified AI hater!
"Adjacent" is one of my favourite qualifiers when discussing porn genres because it simultaneously tells you everything and nothing. Like, what the fuck do you mean it's "vore adjacent"? I have more questions than I did before you said that. Hey. Hey, get the fuck back here.
I've thought about posting full pages on tiktok but I don't want to give myself an RSI cropping panels to be easier to read. I draw my comics to be read as whole pages (really, they're meant to be read as an entire book, but it takes me years to do a chapter...)
I never really got into posting my art on IG because I don't do uniform sized panels and their uploader requires everything to be the same dimensions.
I was doing reels to advertise my comic (but id only put like 3 panels in the reel) and that shit was so time consuming with little payoff so I stopped. At least on tiktok you can do a photo post with little effort (but also little payoff because you cant post links).
Someone started posting their comics as reels on IG to get engagement and half the comments were like "this is the worst format for comics!" And the other half were like "just hold to pause it!" But that only works if you consume IG through the reels feed (and FUCK that).
The term "content creator" makes me want to throw up when I hear it now.

I love when I wake up with a song stuck in my head because it always sets the musical vibe for the day. I'll probably end up listening to the entire Dumbo Gets Mad discography this morning.

I feel like im doing this damn comic in reverse order but Sonny ended up being a way more important character and I really want to show his relationship with Ivanhoe more explicitly. He's very much a father figure and mentor to him.
I also want to get the chapter 1 redo sorted out. I feel like there's way too much talking. It's still going to be long, but I want there to be some kind of action every 10ish pages. I get too attached to dialogue I like, which I really need to stop doing.
Also, I felt like a hacker doing all this shit through command line even though it was shit simple. I'm surprised I remembered how to navigate directories that way lol
Is vibe coding ethical?
In my compilation spreadsheet l, I managed to get through 27 pages of my blog originally and it was all I did in my down time at work. I never thought I'd get to this point. Now I can probably just modify the code to scrape after a certain date for future entries.
It'll take me a few hours to fix those tags. I've also been able to find and fix all the tags with typos and change inconsistent tags as I find them in the list. Then I can get on to the fun part: writing summary headlines for each entry. I wont be outsourcing the fun part to AI.
I tried cataloging this fucking site for YEARS! Do you have any idea how long it takes to adequately catalogue a blog with 1900+ posts and a bazillion tags? Now all I have to do is find and replace the tags so they're organized the way I want (only 9000 more lines to go!)
I finally made AI do something useful for me. I had it create a Python code so I could scrape my Sims blog, organize the URLs by post date and repeat the URL for every tag on every post in an excel file. Don't shoot me! Haha

I have like 200 pages I need to draw lmao I donβt want to be 2/3 through chapter 4 and still need to draw pages (which happened with chapter 3). I get kind of nervous when I run out of pencilled pages. Chapter 5 is coming up quicker than I ever thought (and its the conclusion of this arc).
I want to get both Ch 3 and the epilogue finished this summer so I can spend the fall working on chapter 4. The epilogue is 77 pages LOL It was too much fun to write. Chapter 4 is also going to be significantly longer than the other chapters and I need to really nail one character design.
Im going to do a summer posting hiatus (as I usually do) and its probably going to run from May 13 to September depending on how much I get done between now and the 13th. Maritonia will return with multi page per week updates in the fall followed by the ch 3 epilogue.
Whose blood is that?

i bet most cartoonists would go on Hot Ones just for the free meal. I know I would.

On my ipad, I use my index finger to tap the apple pencil. On my Cintiq, I disabled the pen buttons.
New pages will be up eventually! I've been in page prep mode hardcore on my time off from work.
