I'm transitioning away from fountain pens to felt markers, which have been hard to find. I came across these Chinese refillable 0.7mm plastic-nibbed pens and so far, so good. Best thing? They take rapidigraph tech pen and India inks :) hello waterproof writing goodness.

Webtoon removed a program that gave creators who make more than 40,000 views $100 per month. They said they were replacing that with a “tipping feature”.

We only get 40% of the money from this new feature (super likes), and they’ve removed the Patreon button from our works.

I won. I won my appeal.

The Luxembourg court has ruled that Jeff Dieschburg infringed upon my copyright when he used my work without consent.

Using a different medium was irrelevant. My work being 'available online' was irrelevant. Consent was necessary. 1/

And all those books where your brown characters have never seen a white person before, yet when your white main character/ love interest shows up, immediately all the brown people think they're gorgeous and fall in love/ lust. Jesus. Stop doing that.

Look, I love my ethereal, pale, white-haired Caucasian male bishie characters as much as the next romantasy reader, but putting that dude in a warm climate is going to devolve into a sweaty, sunburnt red mess, ok? Don't do me that BS where he's pale and cool in the goddamn desert

Fuck your AI I hope your new platform tanks and you lose money

The people they’d be inviting onto the “groundbreakers” program would be paid to have an AI scrape their webcomic so users could create visual responses to whatever prompts.

This is framed as a unique collaborative experience but also my IP is getting scraped.

I got an email today about a new start up in webcomics called storygrounds.

Normally I ignore this kind of mail but I am going to share it, and also what I found on storygrounds website.

Spoiler: they’re asking artists to consent to AI models being trained on their webcomics

Hey my lovelies, as Webtoons is set to start trading on the US Stock Exchange (aka 'going public') a lot of tech bros with stars in their eyes are going to start looking at webcomics as the 'next big thing' to try to get rich off of. Creators, be extra alert to any new platforms
