I cant remember if i posted it so..

Have a shy angus 💕 always so flustered!

Also a little update on my new comic ; Welcome to Mars ! I finished the 2 pages that served as tests. Im gonna start the first pages this week end maybe. I also started a logo that i rwaly like for it.

Im gonna make a website for it ? And a discord chanel? .. I verry much hesitate to post it on sites since... I dont realy want to have to censure. I would like it to be mature, not nsfw, but mature since the main character is 30 years old... And there will be discution of mature stuff.

Ill see. I will start by looking for a cheap hosting site since i wont monetize this one. It wasnt worth it imo. I will only go by donation on kofi even if it wont pay the bills.

If you know a cheap alternative foe a hosting site thats .. Not too hard to use, please tell me !!

[modmad]

hey! there's zero esims left for the connecting gaza campaign as of today. i remember you promoting them earlier. could you give them a much needed boost?

oh dang! unfamiliar with that particular campaign, as I always donate via crips for e-sims because it's super easy to do, but regardless let's go people!

Tbh at this point you should just make your own webcomic app/website because it would probably be 100 times better than whatever going on with webtoon right now.

hahaha it wouldn't tho, sorry 💀

Here's the fundamental issue with webcomic platforms that a lot of people just don't realize (and why they're so difficult to run successfully):

Storage costs are incredibly expensive, it's why so many sites have limitations on file sizes / page sizes / etc. because all of those images and site info have to be stored somewhere, which costs $$$.

Maintenance costs are expensive and get more so as you grow, you need people who are capable of fixing bugs ASAP and managing the servers and site itself

Financially speaking, webcomics are in a state of high supply, low demand. Loads of artists are willing to create their passion projects, but getting people to read them and pay for them is a whole other issue. Demand is high in the general sense that once people get attached to a webtoon they'll demand more, but many people aren't actually willing to go looking for new stuff to read and depend more on what sites feed them (and what they already like). There are a lot of comics to go around and thus a lot of competition with a limited audience of people willing to actually pay for them.

Trying to build a new platform from the ground up is incredibly difficult and a majority of sites fail within their first year. Not only do you have to convince artists to take a chance on your platform, you have to convince readers to come. Readers won't come if there isn't work on the platform to read, but artists won't come if they don't think the site will be worth it due to low traffic numbers. This is why the artists with large followings who are willing to take chances on the smaller sites are crucial, but that's only if you can convince them to use the site in favor of (or alongside) whatever platform they're using already where the majority of their audience lies. For many creators it's just not worth the time, energy, or risk.

Even if you find short-term success, in the long-term there are always going to be profit margins to maintain. The more users you pull in, the more storage is used by incoming artists, the more you have to spend on storage and server maintenance costs, and that means either taking the risk at crowdfunding (ex. ComicFury) or having to resort to outsider investments (ex. Tapas). Look at SmackJeeves, it used to be a titan in the independent webcomic hosting community, until it folded over to a buyout by NHN and then was pretty much immediately shuttered due to NHN basically turning it into a manwha scanlation site and driving away its entire userbase. And if you don't get bought out and try your hand at crowdfunding, you may just wind up living on a lifeline that could cut out at any moment, like what happened to Inkblazers (fun fact, the death of Inkblazers was what kicked off the cultural shift in Tapas around 2015-16 when all of IB's users migrated over and brought their work with them which was more aimed towards the BL and romancee drama community, rather than the comedy / gag-a-day culture that Tapas had made itself known for... now you deadass can't tell Tapas apart from a lot of scanlation sites because it got bought out by Kakao and kept putting all of its eggs into the isekai/romance drama basket.)

Right now the mindset in which artists and readers are operating is that they're trying way, way too hard to find a "one size fits all" site. Readers want a place where they can find all their favorite webtoons without much effort, artists wants a place where they can post to an audience of thousands, and both sides want a community that will feel tight-knit. But the reality is that you can't really have all three of those things, not on one site. Something always winds up having to be sacrificed - if a site grows big enough, it'll have to start seeking more funding while also cutting costs which will result in features becoming paywall'd, intrusive ads, creators losing their freedom, and/or outsider support which often results in the platform losing its core identity and alienating its tight-knit community.

If I had to describe what I'm talking about in a "pick one" graphic, it would look something like this:

(*note: this is mostly based on my own observations from using all of these sites at some point or another, they're not necessarily entirely accurate to the statistical performance of each site, I can only glean so much from experience and traffic trackers LMAO that said I did ask some comic pals for input and they were very helpful in helping me adjust it with their own takes <3).

The homogenization of the Internet has really whipped people into submission for the "big sites" that offer "everything", but that's never been the Internet, it relies on being multi-faceted and offering different spaces for different purposes. And we're seeing that ideology falter through the enshittification of sites like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. where users are at odds with the platforms because the platforms are gutting features in an attempt to satisfy shareholders whom without the platforms would not exist. Like, most of us aren't paying money to use social media sites / comic platform sites, so where else are they gonna make the necessary funds to keep these sites running? Selling ad space and locking features behind paywalls.

And this is especially true for a lot of budding sites that don't have the audience to support them via crowdfunding but also don't have the leverage to ask for investments - so unless they get really REALLY lucky in EITHER of those departments, they're gonna be operating at a loss, and even once they do achieve either of those things there are gonna be issues in the site's longevity, whether it be dying from lack of growing crowdfunding support or dying from shareholder meddling.

So what can we do?

We can learn how to take our independence back. We don't have to stop using these big platforms altogether as they do have things to offer in their own way, particularly their large audience sizes and dipping into other demographics that might not be reachable from certain sites - but we gotta learn that no single site is going to satisfy every wish we have and we have to be willing to learn the skills necessary to running our own spaces again. Pick up HTML/CSS, get to know other people who know HTML/CSS if you can't grasp it (it's me, I can't grasp it LOL), be willing to take a chance on those "smaller sites" and don't write them off entirely as spaces that can be beneficial to you just because they don't have large numbers or because they don't offer rewards programs. And if you have a really polished piece of work in your hands, look into agencies and publishing houses that specialize in indie comics / graphic novels, don't settle for the first Originals contract that gets sent your way.

For the last decade corporations have been convincing us that our worth is tied to the eyes we can bring to them. Instead of serving ourselves, we've begun serving the big guys, insisting that it has to be worth something eventually and that it'll "payoff" simply by the virtue of gambler's fallacy. Ask yourself what site is right for you and your work rather than asking yourself if your work is good enough for them. Most of us are broke trying to make it work on these sites anyways, may as well be broke and fulfilled by posting in places that actually suit us and our work if we can. Don't define your success by what sites like Webtoons are enforcing - that definition only benefits them, not you.

Post-Chapter 2 reader questions for Runaway to the Stars. Bip's in a terrible mood, for some reason.

I took these questions through a form I linked in the comic blog posts on the webcomic site, by the way, not tumblr. It is my special treat for website readers. thank you for looking at my web site :-).

Archive.org being down has got me curious about a bunch of stuff, so - poll! Also, hi! if you're a podficcer you are definitely invited to the podfic community on tumblr!

There's no "I don't podfic" option because it would win over any of the other options and it'd probably make me sad to see the graph so unbalanced

dropbox is on "allows streaming on ao3" and off ao3 because in my experience people don't always put it in their < audio > tags, just give the link.

If you have Opinions TM, as a listener or a podficcer, on which ones are nice to use or whatever, you can reply on this! Def interested.

long lived sw races must be so extra about their hobbies. imagine you live for thousand years and a century of that time you decide to dedicate to making a single big af carpet

[evidence-of-the-unknown]

[ID: A scene with Murphy, a pale woman with wild hair, standing at a payphone. She is holding the phone to her ear, looking distressed. The background has a simple silhouette of an empty desert landscape. Evidence of the Unknown is written in the upper left corner.]

Murphy Nye is obsessed with finding proof of alien life, so much so that she’s isolated herself in the process. 

When a real alien shipwreck practically falls at her feet, she has to re-evaluate not just her expectations of the alien, but her relationships with other humans. The fate of both their worlds may be at stake, after all.

Evidence of the Unknown is a new science fiction webcomic series, publishing one page a week starting next week! New updates will be both on tumblr and other sites as I get them set up!

Why has no one mentioned the "hexcore" was included in the FentyxArcane collab?

I use quotations because it doesn't resemble the hexcore we know, but more the new version we see in the trailer.

And it's not called the hexcore here, it's called "The Anomaly".

It's already cool in general that Fenty's making a product out of this yet to be explored aspect of Arcane, but what's even more interesting is how they've been marketing it.

So far, Mel and Jinx have the most make up in the Arcane collection, and Fenty shows you. Fenty also shows you that JINX inspired one of the Anomaly eyeliner, Anoma'lit.

If you go to the Anoma'lit shade of the Chrome Catch'r Eyeliner, the decription will say it's a part of the Anomaly section of the Arcane collection.

So yes, Fenty really just showed us Jinx is connected to the Anomaly which is just a further evolved hexcore.

Some skeptics could assume that it's a mistake, Fortiche wouldn't spoil season 2 with a make up tie in, and I think that irrelevant because Fenty doesn't care. Fenty's already spoiled a new look for Mel so why not spoil that a product that's based more of an abstract concept is in fact connected to a popular character. It's no skin off Rhianna, lol.

Also, the show's already hinted at us that Jinx will be connected to the hexcore next season by putting her tag literally inside it in Viktor's tarot card.

Now here's some promo art!

If you want to see Mel's look and some bonus promo art, just look under the cut.
