No studio will ever generate 4 options and be like one of these is perfect. They will generate hundreds/thousands driving up executive indecision and take just as long. The actual problem is not how long artist take, its leadership not knowing exactly what they want. AI will not solve that.
Capcom is another studio embracing gen-ai sadly. Popular titles include: Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Okami, Street Fighter, Ace Attorney, Devil May Cry, and Mega Man. -y

Does anyone want to hear about my WoW OC's... basically dragsona that asks the bold question of "what if a femme fatale was the hard-boiled detective and also had no charisma whatsoever?"

Hey. You know those cute little crow time comics everyone loves so much? That's Isa. That's who everyone is talking about. I think that needed to be made clear since I noticed some confusion and a lot are actually rather unaware of this fact because she's great at separating herself from this.
The Hiveworks Artist Guild has released a public statement alleging years of labor abuses, financial mismanagement, and misconduct at Hiveworks at the hands of Xellette “Xel” Velamist and Isabelle “Isa” Melançon. Read their full statement at:

On a more positive note, many of the creators from Hiveworks came together to create the Chimera Comics Collective - a place where we could maintain the 'webring' aspect of Hiveworks and continue supporting each other.

Frankly, if you frame life as men bad and women good, you’re basically begging to get hurt by other women as they perpetuate the structures of misogyny against you, while also preventing yourself from finding love with men, who can actually be really lovely (including cis men).
I’ll die on the hill that “all men suck” is, in general, baby’s first feminist thought, which is distressing considering that’s where most people’s feminist awakening seems to end.

"How to make ACTUAL interesting OCs" "How to make OCs people will care about!" dog if you can't love your own creations that's where you need to start, don't make brand new beings for other's approval. You'll never truly love them if they're tied to a stranger's perception.

We are all in a state of constant panic and terror. It’s important to take a second when you see something online that triggers you to ask yourself “am it really triggered or am I just experiencing nonstop psychic damage from the world and my brain sees this as an outlet for my fear and rage.”

"joy is an act of resistance" is not praxis and while im a firm believer that art is good for the soul even during hard times, you have got to be fucking real for a second and realize that drawing pictures is not gonna help someone who is being bombed by the US government

Happy New Year's! Here's hoping that this year will be kinder than the last.
Personally, I'm hoping for a new job that gives me less migraines. No migraines is ideal but I'm willing to settle on less.

I'm not sure which of you need to hear this, but:
If you push yourself to your limits and burn out for a company, you are trading years of your future productivity for minor gains in the present.
Burning out will _fuck you up_, it's like brain fog or depression, and it takes years to recover

If you're an artist coming over from Twitter because of this bullshit they added, first of all:
Really genuinely sorry they fucked you like this & I think it's extremely reasonable to be crashing out HARD right now
Second: I'm gonna offer Bluesky tips and encourage ppl to share starter packs here

Man its like just so invasive and gross feeling to see "Edit Image" appear over other people's images. Musk decided to give us the only kind of gift he can for christmas, sickening disappointment. Best of luck out there folks.

I've just embraced sounding like a total bitch at this point.
Kids: it doesn't matter how many eyes you get on your comic if there's not much to see yet. 1,000 strangers looking at your inconsistent work and clicking away is inferior to one person seeing something good and telling their friends.

I wish there was a way to tell young beginner cartoonists looking for promotional advice that they need to stop putting all their energy into marketing & work on their comic instead without sounding like a total bitch. my love, there is nothing to market
