Update: I've written so much of the CoB Sequel script this week I legitimately have a headache hahaha
Can’t wait to finish my work day so I can get back to writing more horrific scenes with my blorbos
Playing around with a workflow where I sketch and ink on the Atelier app on the Supernote and finish coloring in CSP
Another site to be aware of in the demise of Tapas is an up-and-coming site called FoundryInk. The site itself mentions nothing in its TOS about AI but a little but of digging will tell you the owner of the site runs an AI company and therefor should never be trusted with your work.
Heads up fellow webcomic artists. A company called Macroverse has been contacting folks to transfer their comics from Tapas to their site. Not only is their site sketchy as hell, they'll create accounts 'for you' using your public facing information and branding to make it look like you're a member
If this doesn't have any Beatles yaoi in it, I'm out
Sony is considering releasing all 4 ‘BEATLES’ biopics on the same day in April 2028. Another idea being considered is offering a 4-pack of tickets to encourage fans to buy tickets to all 4 films at once. (Source: www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...)
With the new Supernote Atelier app update I may actually be able to draw comics on it, at least from the Thumbnail to Sketch to Ink stage Really really excited to draw on something that has all the comforts of digital convenience without straining my eyeballs for hours

Born to write fucked-up scenes with my blorbos, forced to work on a national holiday 😩
Wandered into my favorite art gallery in the LA-area and stumbled upon the Gravity Falls exhibit
Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? Comic Artist: That's a Timeskip. It's a narrative device that fast forwards through a character's story to continue or begin an arc at plot relevant points in the timeline.
Interviewer: can you explain this gap in your resume? Illustrator: That’s called negative space. It gives the composition some breathing room and draws focus onto the parts of the image that are important to the idea that is being conveyed.

There's gotta be some kind of German word for depression because you've now learned that your friends are vibe-coding with AI and you're deeply disappointed
AND you can exclude AI labeled results, this rules ⤵️

Tyree is about a mute son of the Moon that wasn't supposed to exist. He strikes a deal to return Death's sword to her temple in hope of winning her favor and being turned human. It is inspired by pre-hispanic mesoamerica & deals w/ themes of grief, war, trauma, and discovering yourself. #tyreecomic
Afternoon! Are you a video game developer who has been falsely accused of using generative AI? I’d love to pick your brains for a story about how those claims impact individuals, teams, and projects. Email in bio. DMs open. Signal: kerrblimey.43 Keen to hear lots of views!
My spider-sense says that Tapas closing and Web Toons suddenly partnering with Marvel is probably not a really positive sign for independent web comic creators.
Got a request in the Discord server the other day about wanting a basic face-forward Carl and Dude and I realized I never really drew them like that lol Anyway, now you can see Carl has a few inches over Dude
I can't stop thinking how wrong the tech bros have understood creativity and creators. Or even just having hobbies. #erliart

I was going over some of the trends/eras of illustration with my students today and Corporate Memphis created the most conversation. It was compared to a business man in a happy face mask, Arial & pop music. Good in contexts like brightening up a train station, bad in masking the cruelness of tech.
