Umburrough Pages 1-5

This is a webcomic I've been working on for sometime, and I'm finally posting it for the internet to see.

Updates are going to be sporadic and infrequent for the time being, but I will be mostly focusing on getting the Website up.

#webcomic #digitalart #comic
Cover for the webcomic Umburrough. In the foreground two kids, one in baggy ragged clothes the other in a witch outfit stare in awe as three colorful faeries fly around them. Behind them is a man in a brown hat, another who resembles a Pierrot clown, and a third with a very wide hat with a grim expression on his face. Behind all of them large art deco skyscrapers rise into the foggy sky. An airship hangs ominously in the clouds above. Birds-eye view of a misty skyscraper filled city on the edge of a lake in the early morning. A large green dragon flies low over the lake in the distance. Several paragraphs of text describing the webcomic Umburrough are in the upper 2/3rds of the page. "Once upon a time there was a city… It was built far away across the Lacrimar Sea in a land where magic still ran wild, chaotic, and free. It grew until it became a sprawling metropolis. People from all around the world flocked to it drawn in by the promise of wealth and prosperity. They did not come alone, for they were also often accompanied by the magical creatures from their native lands. Soon the city was full of of faeries, elves and other beings, all of which became as integral to the city as the concrete and steel that towered above. This city was always one of great extremes: hot and humid summers and bitter cold winters, towering skyscrapers and quaint gnome hovels, light and shadow. It was a city where Magic and Technology had learned to co-exist in an (admittedly tenuous) harmony, but as the divide between those who labored and those who profited from that labor grew starker, the city found itself at the precipice of a conflict that even it couldn’t peacefully solve. But it was also a city where two young folks, whether by fate or chance, found each other. One is a witch in training with an important destiny planed and laid out before her by the shadowy conspirators who rule the city, the other is a traveling vagabond determined to help her smash that plan to pieces. This is their story: The story of the love that blossomed between them, of the friends they made and lost, of the revolution they lead, and of the city in which all this happened, the city they loved- The City of Umburrough" A cubist portrait of a young girl with pink hair stands center. Her arms are posed in an "As above, so below" gesture similar to Baphomet. Behind her and eye similar to Un Chien Andalou stares at her. Abstract buildings made of newsprint and rolling green hills covered in Megalithic structures loom behind her. Above her are the Futhark Runes "Eihwaz" "Dagaz" and "Perthro" Continuing the cubist theme from before, a swirling pink shape forms the bottom of the image. out of it we can see a weeping green eye and a hand reaching up. In the center a tower is being split by a flaming car wheel in the sky. Around the tower are the runes "Raidho" "Jera" and "Hagalaz"

Switching your main feed on here to an image only feed, like The 'Gram, is the absolute move.

People are so much less likely to share images of stuff they don't like/appreciate/etc.

People are so much more likely to write out angry/negative/drama posts.

A quick Art tip: don’t underestimate the power of redrawing the whole thing again. If a drawing doesn’t feel right then start over.

Couple things I learned today:
- Seniors are extremely fired up about this
- "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now
- People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA
- We all we got, we all we need

Hey there Delilah
I ate those plums left in the icebox
If you wanted them breakfast
You should have purchased a few padlocks
For the treat

I think at some point we have to stop indulging the fiction that conservatism is a legitimate political tendency and isn't simply a grievance cult for those who value the ability to enact cruelty over their literal basic needs.

thinking again about that twitter post that went like "if you can swap 'the homestuck fandom' into your grievance with 'the left' without changing anything else, you're not mad about politics, you're mad at the internet"

Some leftists were mean to me on the internet and that's basically at the root of why everything sucks is a very specific brand of douchebag bullshit. The level of self-absorption this entails is intellectually disqualifying.

artists support each other when systems will not. there's little safety net. it is resilience. artists are not your competitors. artists are your peers, mentors, and the ones who will defend the ability to create sustainably.

to those who struggle to continue drawing,
you are an artist.

The who IP vs AI debate is such a shitshow because it's really two different regimes of seizing and enclosing our collective creative commons. Disney's entire model is taking folklore and transforming it media that they and they alone control, OpenAI's model is just

I thought being a professional artist had radicalized me enough against AI shit, but now that I’m working in childcare and seeing the slop on kid’s YouTube, my hatred knows no bounds. There is no well or pit deep enough to throw the ghouls pushing this shit.

A film that takes place where you’re from.
Poster for the film “Surf Nazis Must Die.” A man in a Nazi uniform goes over the top of a wave on a red and white striped surfboard. The board flies a small Nazi flag, and has a chainsaw blade sticking through it instead of a fin. The man holds a large knife in his mouth, is firing a submachine gun with his left hand, while his right hand is a metal crab-like claw. Below his board is a blond woman in a pink bikini screaming in terror as she and her surfboard are about to be crushed by the surf Nazi. In the background, a yellow speedboat explodes.
