SURPRISE IT'S DONE.

Honestly this ended up being a diss-track to everyone, everyone catches strays in this one. Cara, artfol, deviantart, artstation, Bluesky, facebook, youtube, patreon, gumroad, -

you get the picture, it's long, but it does end on a hopeful note.

this is my magnum opus rant

The Death of DeviantArt and the art-site shaped hole haunting the Internet

Why every new "Art Community" fails. Equal parts eulogy, condemnation, and mourning.

I had to entirely re-export this. I drew it nine years ago and the files were corrupted.

It was funny opening up the old files and seeing how different my priorities were and how many basic mistakes I was making.

This sequence was my baby back then and I remember being so proud of it.

I don't normally care to participate in these challenges but we're going to kick on @advsquadcomic.bsky.social in the coming months and I figured it's a good chance to get me re-acquainted with these characters! So have a Cooper I'm not pleased with, but happy is done.
