Taking down a bunch of work
Hey guys! I'm gonna be deleting anything non-comic on Monday. I'm also not sure if i'll be uploading the comic here anymore. DA's become a more malicious shithole and like I put before, it feels gross to have my artwork on here and contribute for people to stay on a site that actively hates them. They're not going to get better.
Links N' Such (DA is still terrible)
So a few things! The Comic's patreon is on the 10th chapter, which means when that's done we'll be getting another book printed up! We're currently 20 pages ahead on 295 and if you'd like to support the comic, that's the best way to do so! The Comic site linked per page is a page ahead, it's always a bit ahead, just a casual non-comment reminder where it's at. It's a way easier format to read, folks there are super nice, you don't have to have an account to post, but non-accounted posts have to be approved. Uhhh, christmas stuff! I have two etsys! One's for MTG Cards, playmats, and Caelum Sky Merch, here. And the other is my PaleoPins Etsy! Many hard and soft enamel designs i've been working on on the side. (we've got some 57 designs, i think?) Finally! I've started up an Instagram Account for the comic. It's a way to reach a new audiance and post panels, but also show some WIP stuff and sketches. I just started it today and it's got a whopping 2 followers so far. Unrelated DA
A 17 year goodbye to DA.
The first submission I ever posted here was this terribly posturized image of myself playing a flying V guitar I didn't own in 2005. It was on a site full of web themes and blossoming art community full of enthusiastic, empathetic people. It soon became a haven for my writing, my very terrible looking anime drawings that people said were great, which gave me the first confidence boost I ever got to make a switch in college over to art. After working hard to improve for 14 years, I find myself in an extremely fortunate position where fantasy art and comic making are my full time jobs, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. The history I have logged on this, and my previous account make up such a pivotal part of my life that even thinking about leaving is deeply painful. For folks out of the loop this last weekend, Deviantart released a number of journals pertaining to their stance on AI artwork, and their new AI app, Dream up. DeviantArt has been ground zero for AI networks to
Other places to find me in DApocalypse.
I won't mince words, here's my frustration: So DA now has automatically opted everyone's artwork into third party AI software. Just like that! No vote, no "You're automatically opted out, you'd have to opt in" options, nothing like that. It's up right now. Lots of fun comments on that journal btw. *everyone loves Dreamup!* I've been here for 16 years. (it says 14 on the site, this is my second account) I've survived the Eclipse saga, I've been through big site changes, I've given DA my money for years now. But screw this. I'm waiting till the weekend to see if they change anything/ walk anything back, but if not I'll be taking down this account. 1300 deviations in the garbage. Early drafts of CS I refuse to look at again because it's so bad. Beyond the legal complications of having copywritten work stolen and just given to other people, I'm just tired. I'm not going through and editing 1300 pieces of artwork because DA sucks AI artwork's weird non-distinct ass. Anyways, here
