Talking time in comics and the De Luca Effect today in class, unintentionally wore my new Nightwing shirt, which accidentally connected to the prominence of Nightwing doing De Luca things. Fun getting Ss to think about how to use this static medium to do sophisticated & wild ways of expressing time

It's interesting that the developer says 'We didn't even realise it was AI any more because we were used to seeing it'. In my experience, the more exposed we are to AI imagery, the more obvious it gets.

This campaign is a pivotal moment for my Patreon: portraits have helped me reach new subscribers before, and sometimes this reward is the little push someone needs to join in for a while. Sharing is greatly appreciated. Thanks! www.patreon.com/santapau/pos...

I'm reading Neuromancer for the first time, and my edition comes with a prologue by the author, half-apologizing for not having cell phones on his fiction. My brother in Christ William Gibson, I'm so not for the cellphones here.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993-1999): Quick overnight sketches for Deep Space Nine, by Joseph Hodges Drawn late in the space station design process, which took a long time with a lot of false starts and dead ends. Sets were then under construction.

A detailed pencil sketch depicts a circular, futuristic space station design featuring large, sweeping curved pylons that extend upward from a central ring.

Still from an unknown animation. Some anthropomorphized red roses are marching or dancing on their stems across some green hills under blue skies and fluffy clouds. Captions read:

Oh no 🥺 The French-Iranian artist, comic book author and director Marjane Satrapi, who became world-renowned with the graphic novel and film "Persepolis," has died at the age of 56. She also directed Chicken with Plums (2011), The Voices (2014), Radioactive (2019), Dear Paris (2024)...

A black-and-white poster titled "AN IRON REGIME... A PEOPLE RESISTING" features a woman (Marjane Satrapi) standing in a long double-breasted coat in front of a wall covered in handwritten English text about the struggle for a free Iran.

DuckDuckGo might not be a flawless search engine and browser, but considering how utterly broken Google is now, I'm gonna recommend switching to it. DuckDuckGo doesn't hide how to turn off AI features and AI results in search (not perfect, you'll still see some AI shit, but at least it tries)

All these years posting webcomics, and formatting comics for online reading is still paradoxical. I've been laying out panels with mobile screens in mind since 2022 aprox, but visitor stats tell me there's still a 60-70% of readers on desktop...
