It’s not just comics, it’s games/animation too. 90% of the time you either accept the contract or you don’t work, simple as that.
I know it’s hard to understand tho for people not (yet) in the industry, I run into this sentiment all the time with students too. That’s why it’s important to talk about
I'm seeing a lot of the same take of "you should have negotiated a better contract" and people need to understand that most don't have the option.

Marvel/Disney would just hire someone else they can underpay and exploit instead. That's how they operate...

Cheap, minimally online if at all, doesn't spy on you, doesn't have subscriptions or micro transactions, won't be enshittified, you own it, reminds them of simpler times or childhood, modern pop culture is adversarial and alienating

The proliferation of AI-generated cute animal videos is a great reason to follow animal rescues, and donate to them as long as you're doing that. For the care of the animals and also creating a space for reliably authentic videos of baby skunks skittering across hardwood floors

Tell me again how artist are this petit burgeiouse class.... fucking AI grifters in the left couldn't be bigger class traitors if they tried.

This is so fucking common, is why I want worker own publishing to be a bigger thing in a lot of art.

One of my professors was the designers of the Scarlet Spider.

When the video games offered that costume option, my professor was never informed, despite being owed royalties. He had to chase Marvel down.

He died the same year Scarlet Spider was in Spider-Verse. They had to crowdfund his funeral.

Did you call Mastercard and Visa? Did you remind them you won’t stand for censorship?

As a sex worker for quite a number of years, I think it’s interesting that lewdtubing is the only sex industry I’ve been in where most of the sex workers don’t really talk much about politics, sex worker rights, or otherwise have limited / muted discussions on online censorship (1)

The last character in the original idea that hadn't had a proper newer piece of concept art. I added the text just as a lil flare.

The Passenger is the enigmatic figure you meet at the beginning of the game and kinda guides your first actions on it.

Liane pre and post war.
I wanted Liane to feel a bit more androgynous during the war, specially since it's nearly a 10 year difference.

2025 #Art so far, it would seem like I've done less than last year... but like I've had a lot of stuff that I can't really show like the comic pages or 3D gigs.

The same with the lil Raccoon mascot, you may use it if you want, fuck puritan censorship and internet surveillance.

As with previous protest art against censorship, anyone is free to use this as they wish, print them, post them around, anything.

Make sure to keep fighting for a free internet and against draconian surveillance laws.

Do not let politicians at the back and call of data harvesting corporations fool you, laws like the OSA or any Age verification laws are not to protect anyone, they are to surveil your online existence and censor whatever the government doesn't want known.

Re-sharing a few good videos that honestly if we probably want more big figures that aren't right wing grifters we will need to help promote whenever they do videos like these.
