You know what I call a woman who sleeps around?
Her name.

SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIITTT
Unpopular opinion: i hate isabella. Not because she gets laid, but because she STOLE THE FUCKING Q’UN AND SPARKED A WAR. I mean, fuck, I’ve killed dragons and she thinks I can’t kill one asshole? Also she hit on fenris...
I am glad that Canadian regulators announced they would not abolish the law that forbids lying in broadcast news but am still kind of appalled that it even had to be discussed.

If the pose Commander was in was “reserved for women”, that wouldn’t explain why people other than women get enjoyment out of beefcake like that too. Which, I think, says something about it really being about sexualized body language.
Hell, superheroines can run around naked with big tits and ass as far as I’m concerned as long as their body language still...

I have to take a quick break from working on my portfolio so I’ll type this up as I watch some Bob Ross since I’m so vague and terrible at expressing myself I probably didn’t even make a point in my last comment.
I think the issue I have with this “sexualization and idealization” of men versus women in comics is that we’re looking at this from a strictly female perspective. We...

WhoawhoawhoaWHOA. Who is the artist and/or character underneath that pic of Flynngene there?
The sketches are by Glen Keane, the character is named Bastion and was one of the earlier designs for the male lead in the movie. There were also proto-Flynns who were more middle-Eastern/South Asian looking,...

I wonder if you could say that making men impossibly huge/muscular is sexualization since male sexuality is linked to power, not to physical “beauty” like women are ie bigorexia versus anorexia.
Eh, I’d say not, if only because women who prefer big beefcakey dudes seem to be in the minority. More...

I feel really sad when people bash liefield. He’s not a bad person! He’s really nice and despite how much people hate his art he takes it all in stride. Hell, if you ask him to draw you a pouch he does with a smile.
I ran into him once in a hotel lobby and shook his hand and unironically told him it...

I think there’s a little window/tick box in the tool box (where you see the stroke preview) where you can switch that off at both that start and end of the stroke :Ua I know the software can already support pressure sensitivity…

Does anyone following me out there have much experience with inking in Manga Studio? I’ve been hearing great things about the program so I’m trying out the free trial, but the pen tool that gives the nice thick-and-thin lineweight seems to do that Flash-y “I’m going to put your lines where I assume you wanted them to be rather than where you actually drew them” thing....

Let’s see how this SelfControl app works.
Wow.

The stuff about the Arkh Project showing up on my dashboard is starting to get really offensive. Like really, guys. I’m having a hard time believing that the vitriol that game project is getting is solely based on poor organization and one of the promoters being an asshole anymore.
I haven’t seen any Arkh stuff on my dash other than this since the weekend but uh, with more...

gabydunn:
Part of me thinks it’s too soon to be writing about this because I don’t think I’ve completely processed how I feel, but I also think maybe this has happened to other women and I should talk about it in as raw a way as possible. I’m still really embarrassed and ashamed and garbled up inside, but maybe this can start a helpful discussion in terms of women and comedy.
Last night, I was...

So I have a portfolio review with some webcomic artist named spike on Friday? ( He does Templar, Arizona? Idk, I’ve never heard of it before..) I WANTED BEN CALDWELL BUT ITS OKAY. I’LL JUST ROOT FOR LISA IN MY STEAD.

There are negative adjectives I would attach to harassing a scapegoat woman, like “childish” or “mindless”. I don’t see how “entitled” applies. To me, the use of that word implies that no consumer should be criticizing anyone in the industry at all.
No, the use of the word “entitled” is to describe...

I’m referring specifically to her responding to critics with the assertion that they’re just jealous because she has a vagina and they can’t fuck enough vaginas, which prompted the nastier personal attacks and set this shitstorm in motion.
I would bet money that people were throwing around the word “cunt”...

I really don’t like how criticizing someone with a vagina is considered to be sexism. No one brought up her vagina until after she did. Also not a big fan of negative feedback being considered “gamer entitlement”.
Hundreds of messages have been sent to Hepler, as a simple Twitter search shows. Many...

I haven’t actually seen anyone seriously adopt that extreme of a position, but you might be on more DA specific sites than I am.

I don’t know why people are getting it in their heads that everything wrong with DA2 was Hepler’s fault. David Gaider was still the lead writer, and most of the game’s shortcomings were due to the rushed schedule and gear shift to focus on world building rather than a single cohesive story.
Hepler’s biggest contribution to Dragon Age lore were the dwarves, that was the...

This is a woman who was hired because she wrote “good fanfiction.”
Which is essentially what any person hired to write characters they did not create is assigned to do.
I dunno, I tried to read her “novel” and if they fired her, Gaider, Mary and uhhh the other guy they could have an actual game studio again rather than a dating sims factory,...

Aurgh, someone asked me a question about keeping your characters consistant but I was stupid and answered the wrong ask with the wrong response and had to delete it. ANYWAY your best bet is making your characters individual enough that you can tell them apart no matter how your style might change. like as long as Jared is Noodley with a long chin and shaggy brown hair and Commander is boxy with a...

Once Upon a Time Blather
I was going to say that Regina is so unabashedly comically moustache-twirling evil I don’t understand why the whole town doesn’t just revolt and crucify her, then I remembered the current state of American politics.
Woo my webcomic is two years old.
Sometimes it’s late and two weeks I ran guest strips, but there’s been an update of some kind every week without fail since I started it.

I honestly do not understand how anyone has the patience to play that Mapcrunch game. I slept like 40 hours between Sunday and today and I feel like even that was time more productively spent than clicking around digital farmland hoping to cross paths with an airport.
If I found myself magic’d to the a random location on the planet, I would probably find the airport by asking someone where...
