my fear is that fans aren't going to realize- or simply don't care about- how revolutionary this whole glitch "bring an indie film to theaters" situation is and will squander a great opportunity to give more power to creators, by arguing about keeping glitch indie by sabotaging this
Wow! It's been a week since I finally finished and released the first volume of my webcomic
A rabbit in overalls and a goat in pants are sitting on the ground drawing pictures. The rabbit is saying “ART POSES A THREAT TO CORPORATOLRATIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE A PURPOSE OF ART IS TO REMIND THE INDIVIDUAL OF THEIR INHERENT AUTONOMY.”, the goat adds “THEIR HUMANITY.”
Make Art (1/4)
The worst is when those same people who labeled you “gifted” look at you now and go “oh no, maybe she was actually kind of stupid.”
All because you finally showed a single crack in your immaculate armor.

I'm really working on It 🫠 I'm Just starting to get old I Guess😂😅
I'm a little bit sad,not going to lie. I Wish I could live of my art,but right now I can't. That doesn't mean I Will stop trying! Just, if I have less free time, I have less time to draw. And in my Little free time now I Just...collapse from exhaustion :') so that's why you aren't seeing new Pages
I'm really tired from my dayjob but I am working on returning with webcomic pages. I can't keep a schedule, since I don't know If my day job will keep me or not (normal in Italy sadly to hire and then dump interns before they have to either hire you or let you go). So that's how it's going.
January felt like a year instead of a month🫠
sometimes it feels like the publishing industry wants to treat cartoonists like we're all hobbyists, like we don't need to get paid reasonably, or on time, like this is just a fancy we're pursuing in our spare time. meanwhile, they give us BRUTAL deadlines that necessitate a full time schedule
NO PEDESTALS
OUR WORK IS NOT US
GREAT ART CAN COME FROM BAD PEOPLE
A lot of us have actually made a webcomic ring called Chimera Comics after we left hiveworks: chimeracomics.org
This isn't the full list as some artists want their hands completely washed of the situation, but this is a start!
Yep,paid for this and still waiting After...almost 5 years? I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt because health problems are never fun but yeahhhh other stuff are being made and this not so....what a nightmare. Didn't even realize the comments were so bad.
I felt bad ordering my copy on Amazon because I coudn't join the kickstarter but what the hell🥲 I hope at least Seven Seas paid you
It's been a long ten years and I finally get to talk publicly about what happened behind closed doors.
Please take the time to read this letter and please avoid working with these people. You are more valuable than an opportunity for people like them to use you as cash cow for your work. 🧵

Yeah remember when I said I finally had time to draw? Guess what who didn't count for my job to giving me more hours(but not more €)? Yeah that's right. And on weekends I want to keep alive the friendships I have so I really need a plan to find time to actually draw again....this year was just a LOT

Tumblr user nocryptographer: I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.

This digital painting is set on a rocky ocean shore. The sky is dark and stormy. The environment is very cool and blue. A girl with black and white hair, wearing a spotted dark-purple cloak, is summoning sparkling, ghostly whales and sea creatures from the ocean. She stands on a rock, lit by the yellow sparkling creatures above.
