They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.
hi, you don't need to respond to this, but i wanted to say that the your art progression has been so lovely to see! 💙 awhile back, i went to your store to check your splatoon goodies and i was pleasantly surprised to see the akechi sticker set bc i remember seeing those when u drew them back in 2020 (i didn't realize u were the same artist...) and your colors have leveled up so much since then! 📈🚀 thank you for drawing and sharing your work- i hope that it's been fun and rewarding for you! ✨
hello! thank you so much 😭 this is really sweet of you to say!
i have been feeling like my art hasn’t improved as much as i want, but your comment reminded me of the bigger picture, i can’t believe my akechi phase was only 4 years ago lol….. it’s all been fun! and hope to experiment and create a lot more this year ^.^
The Creator's Guide to Comics Devices is OPEN!!!
comicsdevices.com
An online library of visual-narrative devices that are used in the medium of comics and other sequential art.
Happy Halloween! I'm really excited to be finally launching* what is maybe one of my most ambitious, largest work yet.
This online library is the next phase of a research project that began in May 2020, when I first mused on how comics as a field doesn't have a resource that catalogues devices used in the medium. Like, theatre has devices, so does literature, and film! So why shouldn't comics?
I always had an interest in comics studies and analysis. I love reading, making and thinking comics. However most of my knowledge was intuitive - I learned comics from osmosis and experience. This is true for many of my peers. Speaking about comics as a creator is hard, because we don't have a robust system of language. When we had to speak, many of us tend to reach for the language developed for film by film practitioners. If there is language specific to comics, it's either scattered in multiple blogs or hidden away in academic journals.
The Comics Devices library is meant to aggregate everything and everybody into a single hub! After exploring some multiple resources, alongside some original, independent research, here is the first edition!
* The Comics Devices project is still a work-in-progress! It's not final, nor will it ever be. This is why I am seeking contributors to help build this library. Translations, comics examples, etc. There is a lot of work to do! If you are interested, reply to this newsletter or submit an expression of interest on this page.
Have fun everyone!!
(Now time for me to melt x_x)
