You don't have to colour, Hustle culture strikes again. More advice.

 

I must Copy'n Paste good tid-bits of advice here, to remind myself and others. Thank you Bsky. 

Thid is my favourite from Kelly, showing how deeply the racing the bottom is taken for granted. Applys to self-help books and the how-to book industry complex too! It applies to all industry complexes when they forget the first part.

kris! 🌠 read star quest!

Also if you're doing a colour webcomic/comic (maybe just for webcomics haha), each panel doesn't have to be rendered, you can leave it as flats! Save yourself the time and don't make it hard for yourself!

I also wanna add to this cause I was told these lies early on- NO, your comic doesn't have to be in color to be seen as ✨professional✨ NO, your comic doesn't have to be in color to even be published! Pros should never be telling budding comickers "do only this or u suck" kind of advice!!

Annual reminder that comics/webcomics DON'T have to be in color and to be very blunt here weak coloring can really bring down a page. If you dont like coloring and it shows, why are you doing it to yourself

As much as there are supportive peers who wanna see you make your idea, there's also UNSUPPORTIVE peers in comics who try to tell younger artists "exactly what to do" cause they are trying to put you through the wringer and burn out fast so you're no longer competition for them 💀

if anyone ever tells you to fully fckn render every panel of your comic in order to "sell it better, audiences enjoy color more"- RUN Someone tell'n you to do a fck ton of color work, not hire help and then smack talk others to make a project sound cooler? DO NOT WORK FOR THEM

it's taken me so long to color like I do cause I'm colorblind!!! I was REALLY bad with colors and shading digitally when I started a decade ago making my first comic, I opted for greyscale and color key story moments!- You can get pages done FASTER without color! (its obvs not a race too)

If your studio/production/department doesn’t have people over 30 in anything other than supervisor positions, they’re almost certainly expecting to be able to ride you like a rented mule.

If the no one on the crew has kids/spouses/mortgages/experience, they’re either the kind of place that only wants to employ hungry young people with no responsibilities at home who are ready to work any amount of unpaid overtime, or they’re the kind of place experienced people know not to work for.

Honestly yeah. If all you’re hiring is people that are fresh out of college or haven’t had non-art jobs, one could say that’s pretty much just feeding wood into a woodchipper as far as how much those workers will get taken advantage of

So many studios in Toronto have like, one keyframe animator or programmer or whatever, and then a stable of 30 unpaid interns making all the assets and stuff

And as soon as that internship turns into a year of experience, it’s time for the new interns to start, so they don’t really spend a dime on that line change

Benefit of the doubt

From first impression, what are the first thoughts?

 

Now this is where the benefit of the doubt lies, It's time for my take.

Wherein lies what may be called, making a mark, or customer service. To the way of pushing in towards the culture, To think of potentiality of possibility as the reverse. It's where the first impression lies to see where the point of practical empathy lies, to point a to point B.

It's the moment of identity of consciousness, of where this interruption is worth the users time and interest, if it's true justified knowledge, that's wisdom to 'spend' some time and attention, not as a prospect, potential thing to communicate.

Best Seth post : About Whipcracking Sweatshoppers

Be careful who you work for. Including the ones one advertising money. He keeps pulling me back, also the freelanceing, and advertising.

This is one of the best posts, except for the worst post in regard to lizard brains, and atomized systems.

Who to work for? Now that the omni-promiseification of showing a part of self online with the market with these direct-marketing tickers. It's best to know who to work for, be it for self-expression, for the generosity of others. Or the ad-creep of ad-supported platforms.

Showing up with attendance could change what somebody is becoming, from the ontological fabric of one's own being.

Don't follow the advice of the internet that treat's other work as useless. It's why I haven't bothered to get affiliate on twitch, because if I'd merely do react streams and the au courant of twitch's SEO, then I'd have to do it again and again. Raising that number for Ad creep.

Not selling myself to that.

Since I'm going to read his strategy book, His new self-help (oh boy) I'll see if it has any use, yet it will never replace my instinct.

Oh, and also there's the one on the Hollywood paradox.

Semantic Satiation and Ruducto ad Absurdum

Reverie of all those blips.

 Repeating something that won't make sense, tautologies that in its circularity don't make any sense.

Tick tock with a fad to trend, to trend to norm, then mimetically it all travels and normalises into a concept within our culture.

Are the repetitions deliberate? Or not so? Reductio ad Absurdum is used within comedies all the time. Moving into a farce from parodies. First time has it effect, second time it's expected with half the impact, the 3rd is a absurdity.

Yet the rules of three do form a pattern, where the connections make way, it can go either way.

The law of diminishing returns comes all the same.

Defence of the Commentary genre (kind-of, bad habits.)

Its journalism! Waaa, breaking news. (With my own business guru response.)

Has listening the moistcritcal, and PyroCynical YouTuber drama been any benefit? No. It's merely spectacle at the most part.

It's not their fault though, they are acting like direct-response towards the YouTube which has its philosophy to serve the ad creepers at all cost.

"Views are an important business metric for anybody whos designed to be viewed" quote Stephanie.

This is all ambulance chasing, and all the tailism that is to serve the advertiser to give a hot take here and there with whichever works to keep that stream of attention. Low-effort stuff of the news has always been with us, fron the radio and now here.

Why, because media is costly, so the pundit industry complex.

So will it change? Only through the ebs and flows will if change.

It's a race to the bottom, yeah, so only will it grow towards the memoirs like the right Opinion.
