I got feedback on Godsbane from 3 different editors at the Kodansha Manga Academy! All the advice I got is collected in this video on my YouTube Channel so that you can learn from it too! Thank you Kodansha, the editors, and community team for setting this up. 💙 video: youtu.be/OLuD9o15rcA?...

For folks asking if I'm still making manga: Short answer is yes. Long answer: most of what I'm working on is either manga assistant or contest work. I'm not likely to update on GlobalComix any time soon. I have 2 one-shots I'm working on, I share on Patreon for now: www.patreon.com/ArtCrumbs

I'll speak more on the specifics later, but I will also likely be opening small amounts of commissions (2 to 3 slots at a time) sometime next month. I have some bones I gotta deal with first. Lol

Checking in with everyone: I've found two part time gigs. I'm still making only a fraction of what I used to, but I should be able to scrape by now. With this job market, I think I'm lucky to say that. Thanks to everyone who has been helping me, providing job listings, and introduction emails. 💙

Me being let go has nothing to do with the platform being good for creators or not. I was an office worker, not a creator for GlobalComix. Please don't use this as a strike against them.

To everyone I met through GlobalComix, thank you for your friendship and support. I aim to continue my support of the comics and manga communities in whatever role I pick up in the future. Who knows, maybe I'll get a new career as a creator this time around.

I met amazing people, got my first few professional gigs, drew over 750 pages of manga, designed 2 150+ pg books. Despite the shame I feel, I'm reaching out to my community to help me find new work. Here's my Linktree: linktr.ee/artcrumbs & LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/jacksonma...

Last week (April 8th) I was laid off from GlobalComix after 4.5 years in Community and Social media. I've also grown extensively as an independent creator in my 8 years on the platform. Growing professionally and independently is something I am doing my best to be proud of. Here's some recent art:

going to use this post as a #sketch thread until I come up with a better idea. alt for deets

(Wren sketch) everything I consider left field and super rough may be dumped here as a reply. If I do anything -other- than my usual, that might be dumped here too. This will prevent me from sketch spamming. Not policing myself strictly, but should help keep my uglier sketches under one roof. Mostly. I also delete posts often, this is a way for me to better control that and birdpick stuff I don't want to keep around.

The 14th was Godsbane's 16th Anniversary. It's bittersweet, but I keep trying. This is Fahle, she died a few years before Godsbane starts. It is prophesized she will destroy her island home if revived, so she wants to stay dead. Aros thinks she can save them from Amat, but will the gamble pay off?

An in-progress page from the remastered graphic novel editions of ElfQuest: Siege at Blue Mountain by Wendy and Richard Pini coming in 2027 from Dark Horse Comics.

ElfQuest co-creator Wendy Pini shares her thoughts on the power of using eyes and hands to "show" the story rather than using words to describe them in the comics medium and other forms of visual art.

Thank you everyone who joined! It was super fun! I think I'll do more of these. These are great times to do little doodles or share sketchbooks, just fun stuff! I'll post the WIP tomorrow on my Patreon, and most likely stream again tomorrow too. Hopefully ink is dry by then lol

Hi there, I wanted to reach out personally about this as well. I'm Jackson with the GlobalComix Community staff. I sent a DM on the platform but I'm happy to chat here if you'd like this comment removed. I always ask first cause some creators don't mind, but I'm happy to remove the comment for you.

Moving over to Pixiv for art. I'll be posting there in Japanese and English (a good chance for me to work on my Japanese skills anyway). I will still use Bluesky and Twitter to chat and post updates, just not for art. Link here: www.pixiv.net/en/users/532...
