Something that it’s important to note about disability; Even if you are not currently disabled, if you live for long enough, you will become so. It is inevitable. Fighting for the rights of disabled people is not only the right thing to do, it also benefits your future self

Some BETTER LETTERER for you. And before the inevitable "that's not how I do it" replies, keep in mind that, by and large, this is how it's done in pro American comics (Marvel, DC, etc.) I've worked for all of them. More tips: blambot.com/pages/letter...

⚠️ this has happened to an alarming amount of people I know. remember that when you open a random .blend file there's the risk that it'll execute unwanted code.

See I can just never believe conspiracy theories that require a level of intricate planning and forethought on the part of the American government because all their real life shady dealings happen very publicly and stupidly

Downtempo is not dark academia because they are at an arts school, which is also why you only see them in lectures like twice

Friendly tip for folks. My discord got hacked yesterday and my computer was acting funky ever since. Turns out it was malware installed through a blender file I bought as part of an asset pack on CG Trader. I didn’t know blender files were being used this way, but I figured I’d spread the word.

Extremely funny to me that the thing that probably gets to Elon most about being bodied by Joyce Carol Oates is that she is such a natural born poster, the one thing he so deeply craves

So what I'm hearing is I actually don't need to fix the fact my characters faces look like a non-euclydian nightmare when I flip the canvas if I want to beat the robots
my comics are janky as hell lmao i’m telling you now: you can just purposefully bake inconsistency into your vibes it’ll still be better than the prettiest inconsistent slop out there because comics are supposed to convey MEANING over aesthetic
honestly half the time simple/janky is better anyway

When you say you need good art to make comics and that's why you need generative ai, it signals to me the narrowness of your understanding of comics and why it is that you think you can't make them

The idea of someone wanting to get into webcomics for clout is so funny to me like girl this is a cloutless void full of people with weird passion projects, they are barely marketable yet, most of us are in it for sheer love of the game baybeeee

Wheelchair users, would a little walky chair robot with four legs actually be a practical replacement/improvement on a wheelchair? Cause my dad showed me a video of a prototype of such and it didn't feel quite right to me but I am not a wheelchair user so lemme know if that actually would slay
