I don't want this thread to be languishing at the old place, so:

11 IDEAS FOR ENLIVENING A COMICS PAGE. Some pages will just lay there, not engaging you. And if you're not engaged, the reader won't be either. Let’s talk about ways to solve that problem as artists. 🧵

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year
We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Look what @artsyfoxo.bsky.social's friend @enbytween.bsky.social made for me!

HE'S SO CUTE 😍😭🤩🥰
A 3D model of Rick in Clip Studio Paint (CSP) Modeler. He is reminiscent of a PS1/N64 era character with his arms raised out and one foot to the side. He's wearing a red shirt and blue shorts.

He is precious and I love him.

Drew this as a quick cooldown doodle and also to prove to myself that my skills are up to snuff. What do y'all think?

Praxis is the practical application of a theory.

More generally it's the actions we take motivated by the things we believe. Like using the theory of gravity to predict the motion of thrown objects, or our belief in the equality of humanity motivating us to advocate for marginalized people

Just received this stunning commission from SE Case!

She's currently running a Kickstarter for the second volume of her webcomic: Rigsby, WI! Go support it--it's super good! Also, you might be able to snag a portrait commission add on if you want something like this beauty for yourself!
Portrait commission of my red kangaroo fursona Artu, by SE Case. He is presenting a shaka while mugging (or mogging?) the camera with his tongue out. He's wearing a black tanktop and a watermelon bandana around his neck. The United States flag burns in the background and the words "No Theory Without Praxis" are written to the left side.

I'd except textbooks, which give virtually nothing to the authors. I remember a professor in college told students to pirate or get his book secondhand because he made like a couple cents for the $80 textbook

Does anyone ACTUALLY enjoy it when people sing the song, though?

Boone gasps dramatically: "WHAAAAAAAT???" The scene pans to a birthday table where he's putting a birthday hat on Echo's head while she stands in front of a cake with strawberries and blueberries. Romy is deep in thought and Lester is drinking and laughing in the background. Boone: "Well, maybe we oughta change that!" Echo: "No. No, we don't." Boone: "How come? Is it 'cuz you don't like when people sing the song?" Echo: "No, it's just -"

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).
Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Not for the comic, but I'm proud of how it's coming out so far, so see this WIP!
