Ok, I'm putting this out there to make it real: Anger Ham's anniversary is on November 17, and I'm setting a tentative goal to be able to start posting Chapter 3 on that day. There are a few variables that could get in the way, but... I'm gonna try!

FREE ADVICE: so, there's a filmmaking concept called "business." "Business" is, essentially, the stuff your character does while talking. Fixing a car engine, ice skating, eating an ice cream cone, ducking gunfire. You gotta give your characters "business" so they're not just standing there yappin'.

btw if you're so petrified of doing a bad job that you can't even start, then what you need isn't advice on how to make comics. you need to learn to embrace being messy and bad at things and being okay with that because it's necessary, and actually it's GOOD. being messy is WONDERFUL

Because i made this dumb video about being Gender Evil and people thought it was funny. I'm still surprised how often i see #nonbinary people call themselves gender evil.

No exceptions. If you use Gen A I in any capacity whatsoever, you suck. Yes, the way you're using it too. You're not special. "She probably doesn't mean me" I do.

tbh it’s just kind of disheartening to see people who ostensibly have good politics around labour just… use genAI ‘oh but it’s just for X’, ‘i’d pay someone but I can’t really afford it’, ‘it’s just this one time’ and in the end it really comes down to ‘I don’t actually value creative labour’

Something creators forget when trying to value themselves: comics can exist without publishers. Publishers can not exist without creators. You are the commodity, and you deserve to be valued appropriately.

“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.

I’ll add to this - If you use ChatGPT, grok, meta ai, midjourney, stable diffusion, Gemini, copilot, or any other gAI program, you’re a loser.

the reason gAI-curious/apologists are so quick to argue 'but what IS art really, no one can say 🤔' and patronizing artists about copyright law like we need to be educated on our own exploitation is because it removes the discussion completely from real-world effects and firmly into the theoretical

Dear young artist, Use reference. Anyone telling you otherwise has no interest in your development. Also, stop shrimping. Hydrate. I see you, and you need both. Love, An Artist further down the path.

So... I'm gonna be a bit more blunt today in regards to AI usage in the TTRPG space. The harder it is made for folks using AI to find acceptance and gain traction, the less of it we will see. This means blocking them on Social Media, and reporting them on sites where they sell their trash.

This may be one of the worst times to be posting art online. So many platforms being swamped with AI, spammed with aggressive bots and algorithms that will hide you until you play their silly secret games. What else can we do but ride it out? 🐻 #TheBearMinimum
