self-taught artists who don't know the terminology or vocabulary for anything because we had no formal training or teachers or mentors and therefore make all our creative decisions based on pure vibes are powerful as fuck
I was like “wait why are artists letting complicated settings stop them from making their comic?” and then I realized people might not be aware of ACON3D.
whenever an artist passes, there's always a flood of "hey artists take care of yourselves" while all the artists i know continue to chug ahead with their shaky and injured hands because there are bills to pay and its just so fucking harrowing and grim.
god. im fucking shaking. sure 'chronic illness' is the reason but i know the korean webcomic industry's tight deadlines did not accommodate that illness. He drew 180??? chapters in 3 years. that's fucking insane.
NYPD source tells me on average six cops a day are resigning, and that number is expected to rise.
That’s in addition to normal attrition for retirement, disability, etc..
This is disastrous for morale and manpower.
@BilldeBlasio
is to blame.
I think especially w/ queer stories people need to understand the difference between stereotypes and ARCHETYPES
an oversimplification but
Stereotype: based on preconception & assumption, often negative
Archetype: based on repeated patterns occurring in reality, often positive
“statistically its unrealistic for there to be so many gay people in one comic”
WELL STATISTICALLY MY ASS IS FAT AND DEMON SLAYING EXORCISTS AREN’T REAL
A black man was found hanging from a tree RIGHT NEXT TO CITY HALL in my hometown. His name was Robert Fuller. Officials and local news are irresponsibly presenting it as a suicide and linking it to COVID19 without proof!
#JusticeForRobertFuller
every year at ax theres a sweet older latino gentleman who stops by my table and asks for 1 of every print i have and pays in cash 🥺 he’s carrying tons of other prints on him so i assume he does this to other artists too. a real medici of this era! 🙏🏽🥺
Talent doesn’t exist but privilege and luck certainly do.
I’m not discounting hard work, but in conjunction with hard work, the “secret sauce” that makes a good artist good isn’t magical innate ability, but instead relatively optimal circumstances that allow an artist to grow.
cant believe webcomic artists are out here being responsible for character design, costume design, creature design, set design, prop design, art, AND STORY WHEEZEs
people deflecting the blame from the webtoon industry are insane to me. the next comic artist who dies they're going to point to the artist's high cholesterol or some shit.
I remember back when I was a budding artist on social media I was like
'I'm different. I'm always gonna reply to every single comment and DM I get. I'm not gonna be like those stuck up Big Artists who are SOOO ungrateful to their fans'
spoiler alert: I was/am not different.
If you’re looking for an all-queer team of heroes, consider this team of demon-fighting hot priest exorcists and the demon child they’re babysitting (comes with a side of rip-off catholic aesthetics!)
Read my webcomic COVENANT!!!

hello your local sexy sacrilege artist checkin in! all my work is about my in-development comic Covenant, where hot priests battle even hotter demons!!! 🙏🏽😩😈
Hey
#VisibleWomen
!
I’m LySandra, a comic artist and the creator of Covenant, a webcomic about hot priests and even hotter demons 😈 (in development, coming to Webtoon Originals this year)
Support my sacrilegious antics!
im reading a webtoon/manhwa with really REALLY good art and in the newest season, the artist simplified the shading just a smidge (its still illustration-level rendering, far more than any comic needs imo)
and all the comments are about how “lazy” the artist has gotten 🫠 pain…
If you're perfectly fine reading a series but then suddenly can no longer read it when you find out the main characters are gay...my good bitch...that is called HOMOPHOBIA
at the couple who walked by my table, looked at my art, looked at me (tattoos out) and then said to each other very loudly “hm yeah i dont really like tattoos” “yeah theyre not really doing it for me”
i hope you hit lots of traffic on the way home 🥺🫰🏽
easily the worst part about making a comic is that when the writer (me) says “they fight a bunch of demons,” the artist (also me) has to DRAW them fighting a bunch of demons 😔
shoutout to artists from developing nations, third world countries, the global south
we have so much talent to offer 🥹 i just wish we weren’t so exploited and discriminated against 🥲
