Just to have a pinned entry...

Content here will be mostly related to my comics; The Class Menagerie, i.s.o., and From Russia With Lust (title pending)...

If you're here due to any of my OTHER art accounts, sorry, I won't be crossposting any of that here!

Pfft, I just postponed the stress til the end, and always lettered digitally so I could edit as much as needed. Plus I had beta-readers, takes pressure off!

Hrm, can't relate to this one, I always did dialogue at the end and I'm never writing another comic again. But....well, there there? *pats*

Hey, see your PMs...

You don't show your biceps too often, and they're pretty noticeable here. Like the spicy pics in particular are mostly torso-oriented.

I love the light wall!

And y'all wonder why I took so long to sign up for one of these.

See, all that had to be done is say this earlier.

Not "We've always used AI," a link, then...nothing...

Dja get caught up? Apparently very poorly worded nothing that should've been handled more seriously by higher ups...

You're very sweet, thank you...though it just makes me more grumbly I haven't had time for art of this level of bg lately!

Cody V. Frost @codyvfrost.bsky.social · 3d

Sometimes I don't know what else they could reasonably wear down there!

Of course not, he's going to be invited over for tea and crumpets afterwards. 👍

JFC one lunch hour on social media and I'm exhausted. How the FUCK do people follow this shit 24/7?

I'm not disputing the validity of the subject, more the higher ups' handling of it, ie a passing mention in someone's thread. Everyone is nervous about it, and they should be aware it required more complete wording and context.
People are asking more questions lately, as they should.

Cody V. Frost @codyvfrost.bsky.social · 3d

Just that this was apparently something stated upfront two years ago, but people are apparently just noticing it now because it's been brought up publicly again. Regardless of how it pans out, nobody thought about AI as much when they signed up, and people should be reminded of the fine print now.

Well, you frequently blast Americans for not reacting before The Bad Thing was confirmed. You blame us for being risk averse now?
I say this with no horse in this race, I seldom sell my art. But they should be more conscious their wording in official statements, as it's a hot button topic right now.

Cody V. Frost @codyvfrost.bsky.social · 3d

I just saw your bio, I had no idea that's what you did iRL (def one thing FA is bad for, getting to know ppl). Kudos!

I'm sorry, not a good time, izzit?

Well yeah, cuz you draw stuff AI fucks up or glosses over. It wants shortcuts, not art.

We'll see how long I post new art.

Was already planning to repost these since I'm busy at work w/little drawing time. I was learning to draw humans then, so surely AIs ate them long ago.
Just wanted them up again cuz I actually spent time on backgrounds for once. A scene, not some floating guy.

My coworker’s son was shot to death by police in the middle of the street. He was unarmed but he was black. She’s asked me to share this petition.

Weirdly I might have to overall say Ferris. He's so just so offbeat, he's basically never the straight man, and consistently gets to pop in well-placed punchlines. Hmm....that may mean most unique and best used rather than favorite?
Cuz, yanno, FAVORITE gets colored by Sam physically...

Cody V. Frost @codyvfrost.bsky.social · 3d

Wait, we're allowed to pick more than one???

I used to live in the far NW corner of the SF Valley. We frequently had out of towners want to visit and do touristy things, but I was basically an hour from almost anything interesting, in any direction.
